>> Jack: Phyllis, I'll talk to you later.
I can't do it right now. >> Phyllis: Please let me
explain what you heard me say to Diane, please.
>> Jack: Frankly, you couldn't have spelled it out more
clearly. The main reason we finally got
together, the main reason we kicked our romance into high
gear is you wanted to stick it to your old enemy.
>> Phyllis: Okay, that's not what it was at all.
>> Jack: I specifically asked you if you were flaunting our
relationship in front of Diane because she was needling you.
You denied that. I assume you're here to deny it
again. Maybe I should've listened to
that voice in my head. >> Phyllis: Whoa, oh, that voice
in your head? You know who that is.
That's Diane. She's putting all those thoughts
in your head. She's doing the same thing to
me, Jack. That's what she does.
She's trying to manipulate us. Please do not have her have that
power over you. Please, Jack.
>> Summer: My dad says Harrison and Christian are having a ball
at his place. >> Kyle: I'm glad Nick let him
hang out there. It's the best place for him to
be tucked away while we wait for Ashland to be served with the
restraining order. >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
I hope I'm not interrupting. >> Kyle: Uh, this is a surprise.
>> Diane: I have been trying to find you two because...I have a
confession to make.
♪♪ ♪♪
>> Sally: I did it! >> Adam: What exactly did you
do? >> Sally: The deal with
Hartwell. I closed it.
Can you believe it? You should've seen how hard I
negotiated. [ Sighs ]
Okay, you are really taking the fun out of this.
>> Adam: I'm... I'm sorry.
I know it's a major coup, so congratulations.
>> Sally: What's wrong? >> Adam: Just something is on my
mind. >> Sally: Newman Media related?
>> Adam: No. Our plan to push Victoria and
Ashland back together, we hit a snag.
>> Sally: But the text you sent made it seem like things were
moving along. >> Adam: It was.
>> Sally: And I thought Ashland was more determined than ever to
get back together with her. >> Adam: It was all headed in
that direction. And Victoria just got back from
her ridiculous spa trip to Switzerland, so it seemed like
it was just a matter of time, but something interfered with
our plan. >> Sally: [ Sighs ]
What? >> Adam: My father.
>> Nate: Hey. I am so sorry if I woke you.
I was trying my best to keep quiet so you can get some rest.
>> Elena: Oh, you didn't seem to care about that earlier.
>> Nate: Oh, I cared. >> Elena: [ Chuckles ]
Well, I set my alarm so I wouldn't miss my shift at the
clinic. Where are you headed?
>> Nate: Devon invited me to sit in on a meeting with the head of
his digital marketing agency, and then we're headed to
The Grand Phoenix to make sure all the plans are in place for
the launch. >> Elena: [ Gasps ]
Your first big event as COO. >> Nate: It's all coming
together. >> Elena: So, who's all gonna be
at The Grand Phoenix for this meeting?
>> Nate: Well, Lily just got back from her trip, so I'm sure
she'll be there. Billy is not available, so
probably just the three of us. >> Elena: Good.
I mean, the fewer the people, the more efficient it'll be.
>> Nate: I will see you after your shift.
>> Elena: Yes. Tell Lily I said hi.
>> Nate: Will do. >> Imani: Looks like we both
have the same thought about arriving early and getting some
work done before the meeting. >> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
I didn't know that you were gonna be in attendance.
>> Imani: Yeah, I decided to join just in case there were any
legal concerns, so... I could do my work in the
restaurant until we get started. I don't want to disturb you.
>> Lily: Oh, no, no, no, please. I could use the company, so have
a seat. [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: Well, thank you for being early.
>> Nate: I was hoping we could talk for a few minutes before
the meeting so you could fill me in.
>> Devon: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Today, we're gonna be talking
with Gwen Davis, who runs the digital marketing agency that
Hamilton-Winters has been using for years.
She's an industry leader, super, super talented, ton of great
ideas, and she doesn't believe in bigger being better, so she
keeps her client list pretty tight out of principle.
>> Nate: I can respect that. >> Devon: Yeah, me too.
But I have a feeling that she's a little uneasy about the merger
taking place, 'cause when I told her about it, she sounded
concerned that our working relationship would change, so...
>> Amanda: Hey, hi. I didn't know you were down
here. >> Nate: I'm a little early for
the meeting. Are you joining us?
>> Amanda: No, not yet. I have to run to the office to
grab a few things, but I will meet you two at
The Grand Phoenix, okay? >> Devon: Okay.
Mwah. >> Amanda: Bye.
>> Nate: Bye. >> Amanda: Oh, Elena, hi.
>> Elena: Hey. >> Amanda: You heading to work?
>> Elena: Yeah, I'm working at the clinic today, and I know
you're preparing for the big launch.
Very exciting. >> Amanda: Yes, it is.
We actually have a meeting to finalize the details today.
>> Elena: Oh, yeah, Nate told me about it.
Hey, I have some time before I have to clock in.
If you have a minute, do you want to join me for coffee?
>> Adam: Kyle and Summer had a restraining order drawn up so
Locke has to stay away from the kid.
>> Sally: Oh. Well, that's cold.
[ Sighs ] How does Summer get away with
doing things like that while people still think I'm the mean
girl? >> Adam: Well, being a Newman
has its privileges. >> Sally: Well, Ashland hasn't
left town, and Victoria is back, so there's still hope for our
plan. >> Adam: Yeah, it was a good
idea. It was the perfect way to
showcase Victoria's poor judgment.
But we're running out of time. I mean, Locke is probably
already planning his route out of Genoa City as we speak.
>> Sally: I still have hope. But if it doesn't work out, not
to worry. We'll just come up with
something else. A better plan.
We will put our brilliant brains together and come up with
something even more clever to prove that you are the only one
who should be running Newman Enterprises.
>> Summer: What have you done? >> Diane: I saw Jack and Phyllis
in the park earlier, and I made a comment about your possible
move back to Genoa City. I didn't realize you were trying
to keep that quiet. >> Summer: I don't understand
what the issue is. >> Kyle: Yeah, they already knew
we were thinking about moving back.
>> Diane: Ashland was there, too.
Jack made it clear that he wasn't happy that I shared that
information in front of him. >> Kyle: Okay, what was Ashland
even doing there? Was he harassing Dad for
information on where to find Harrison?
>> Diane: Oh, no, no, no, it was nothing like that.
Ashland and I were just chatting, and then we ran into
Jack and Phyllis. >> Summer: Wait, I didn't even
realize that you and Ashland knew each other.
>> Diane: Oh, well, we crossed paths a few times at
The Grand Phoenix when we were both staying there, and then
when we saw each other in the park, we stopped to chat.
>> Kyle: Ashland Locke is bad news./
He's in the process of splitting up with Victoria because of some
pretty heinous behavior on his part.
>> Diane: I'm aware of that now. And Jack warned me about him,
too. And then when I asked Ashland
about it, he came clean about all the awful things he'd done.
But don't worry, I'm not about to let him manipulate me.
I made it perfectly clear that if he is hoping that I'll
intercede for him about Harrison, he is sorely mistaken.
>> Phyllis: Diane is a master at pushing buttons.
She hasn't lost her touch. Unfortunately, we have.
We cannot let her keep on playing mind games.
We can't do it. So you know what?
Forget what I said. Forget it.
>> Jack: How do you expect me to do that?
>> Phyllis: I was just saying it so she'd shut up and back off.
>> Jack: We both know it was never that insignificant.
This wasn't a thoughtless remark in a heated moment.
>> Phyllis: No, that's exactly what it was.
>> Jack: Phyllis, you arranged for her to be in the hotel to
see us coming downstairs after we made love.
It was calculated. It was tawdry.
And frankly, pretty hurtful. >> Phyllis: How could you think
that of me? >> Jack: Because I am tired of
pretending. I'm tired of making excuses for
you. Either you're gonna tell me the
truth or I don't see any way that we're gonna get past this.
>> Phyllis: What? Of course we'll get past this.
>> Jack: The truth, Phyllis. The truth.
>> Kyle: Glad you were astute enough to realize Ashland
intended to use you to get to Harrison.
>> Summer: He tried to sneak in a visit today when Harrison was
in the park with his nanny. >> Diane: [ Scoffs ]
That was a foolish move. It'll make you even more
protective. >> Kyle: Exactly.
In fact, we just took out a restraining order so he can't
see Harrison. >> Summer: What, you don't
approve? >> Diane: No, I wouldn't say
that. It's not my place.
Obviously, you know what's best for your child.
And after hearing all the horrible things Ashland has
done, I -- I see your point. >> Summer: So why do I feel a
"but" coming? >> Diane: Because I can't help
but feel a certain amount of sympathy for the guy.
I mean, I know what it's like to be separated from a child that
you love, and he does seem to genuinely care for Harrison.
>> Summer: Makes sense that you would identify with Ashland, but
hopefully you do realize that you can love someone and still
be toxic to them, too. >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
>> Amanda: Well, welcome home. >> Summer: Hi.
Thanks. Hopefully we'll be here for a
while. >> Amanda: Oh, that's great.
And this must be your mother. >> Diane: Do you see the family
resemblance? >> Amanda: Yes, I do, and I also
heard that you were in town. I'm friends with Phyllis.
>> Diane: Ah. Sadly, I'm not.
>> Phyllis: I'm not making excuses.
I'm calling out Diane for the person that she is.
I'm not apologizing for that, by the way.
I mean, I-I-I can't believe that you can't see this.
>> Jack: This is not about Diane.
>> Phyllis: Oh, it's about Diane!
It's all about Diane! [ Exhales sharply ]
Oh, my God. I mean, seriously, have you
forgotten all of her insane history of trying to get in
between us? >> Jack: You don't have to
remind me of all the bad things Diane did.
>> Phyllis: I think I do. I think I do.
I think you've forgotten. So I was staking my claim --
yes, I was -- and showing her that we are still solid.
We are solid, and she can't get in between us.
>> Jack: Don't you see that you accomplished exactly the
opposite? Exactly the opposite!
You convinced her and anyone within earshot in a hotel lobby
that our relationship was nothing more than a vengeful
little game, a convenient weapon to use against an old enemy.
>> Phyllis: That's not what I was doing.
I was not doing that at all. I cannot believe you're saying
these things about me, seriously.
We have gotten so close and we have come so far, and it took so
long. >> Jack: Yeah, that's my point
exactly. It took so long that I'd
actually given up hope that it would ever happen?
Neither one of us were ready to move to the next step, and that
was fine with me because I cherished our friendship.
And then you changed your mind when Diane came to town.
>> Phyllis: Jack, it's not like that at all.
I can't believe you would think that of me.
>> Jack: What am I supposed to think?
I heard what you said. "I accelerated things with Jack
to shove it in your face, Diane."
What, you didn't say those words?
>> Elena: Thank you for waiting. >> Amanda: Mm.
>> Elena: I'm glad you had a few minutes.
>> Amanda: Of course, of course. We have to catch up.
I'm sure you don't even know that we have Dominic staying
with us for the next few days. >> Elena: No!
I have to stop by and get my hug.
>> Amanda: You have to, you have to.
He is out with the nanny right now, but he'll be back later.
>> Elena: [ Chuckles ] Devon is always so happy when he
has Dom. >> Amanda: Yeah, he is.
He's so cute with that little baby.
And I have to tell you, he has thrown himself into parenting.
He takes it very, very seriously.
He was up until wee hours of the morning last night, just
researching baby gates, okay? He's worried that Dominic's
gonna start wandering around on his own.
>> Elena: You know, it's not an exact comparison, but Nate is
the same way. He is so excited about his new
job. He's all in, reading everything
he can get his hands on. >> Amanda: Well, I have to tell
you, his hard work has definitely paid off.
His ideas, his contributions, they've been great.
And I was worried that, you know, he might miss the hospital
environment, but he has been thriving in this new venture.
>> Elena: Well, I definitely miss him at the hospital.
But don't get me wrong, I love seeing his enthusiasm and
hearing about everything that he's doing and hearing about the
people he's working with, even though I know most of them,
like you and Devon and Billy and Lily and of course your sister.
>> Amanda: Hmm. I think I know why you worked
Imani into the conversation. I just want you to know that
Imani and Nate, they have very little reason to interact.
I keep her very busy. And I've also made it very clear
to her that Nate is strictly off-limits, if that's a concern
for you. >> Imani: So I've been working
on the Downs contract, and the negotiations seem to have come
to an impasse. >> Lily: Oh, okay.
I wasn't aware of that. >> Imani: But I do have some
suggestions that might turn things around.
>> Lily: Okay. >> Imani: Maybe we can offer her
some perks in lieu of a salary increase.
Like working a few days from home or four 10-hour work days
each week. >> Lily: That's an interesting
idea for sure. Have you ran it by Amanda?
What does she think? >> Imani: Amanda tends to be a
bit more conservative in her thinking, so...
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.
Well, look, I mean, I respect Amanda a great deal, and I trust
her judgment implicitly. That's why I wanted her on this
team.
>> Devon: So, Gwen, I sensed from some of our earlier
conversations that you have some reservations about moving
forward with us. >> Gwen: I have to admit, I'm
concerned you might decide to consolidate your digital
marketing efforts with a larger firm.
>> Devon: Sure, yeah, that's completely understandable.
And allow me to ease your mind when I tell you that your team
does amazing work and your strategies have optimized every
campaign we sent your way, so I have no intention at all of
letting you guys go. And I'm still the one who's
responsible for making those decisions at the company, or at
least the Winters side of the company.
You want to add something? >> Nate: I was just gonna second
what Devon said. >> Devon: Okay.
Well, thank you. We truly hope that you decide to
stay on board with us, 'cause we wouldn't be the same without
you. >> Gwen: That's kind of you to
say. >> Devon: It's definitely the
truth. So can we expect you to show up
at our launch party? >> Gwen: I wouldn't miss it for
the world. >> Devon: Yeah?
>> Gwen: Thank you for your support, Devon.
It was nice to meet you, Nate. >> Nate: Oh, nice to meet you,
too. I look forward to working with
you. >> Gwen: Same.
>> Devon: Alright. Thank you again for meeting us
here. >> Gwen: Thank you.
See you soon. >> Devon: Have a great rest of
your day. >> Nate: [ Sighs ]
>> Devon: Hey. How come you didn't speak up
when you had something to say? >> Elena: I hope you don't think
that I feel threatened by Imani. Because I don't.
I'm just fully aware that she's interested in Nate.
>> Amanda: Mm, who isn't? You know, my sister is not
subtle at all. I think it's just part of her
nature. And, yeah, she's brash, she's
flirtatious, but I really don't think she would ever cross that
line. And even if she did, trust me, I
would totally rein her in. >> Elena: My only real
competition is his new job. I mean, we used to spend so much
time talking about our work days, and now things are so
different. Honestly, I don't really get the
universe he's navigating. >> Amanda: Mm, I can relate.
And just like you said, it is not the same thing at all, but
Nate's new job and Devon's parenting, it does have a few
things in common. You see, Devon and Dom, they
have this amazing bond. It's like they're in their own
little world, and I'm so not familiar with any of it.
[ Chuckles ] But I love seeing this side of
Devon. I love seeing him this happy.
>> Elena: Wow. That's really inspiring.
You know what? I think I'm gonna do the same
thing. I am gonna focus on the
positive, relax, [Chuckles] and share in Nate's joy.
He was devastated when he found out he couldn't perform surgery
anymore, and now he wakes up so excited to go to work every day.
So I guess it doesn't matter if I know what "incentivizing" or
"core competency" mean. >> Amanda: No.
>> Elena: Because I do know that my guy has never been happier.
[ Chuckles ] >> Allie: Oh, hey, you two.
Where's Harrison? I didn't see him at home.
>> Summer: He is on a playdate at my dad's house.
>> Allie: Oh, well, apparently Harrison has a more active
social life than I do. [ Both laugh ]
>> Summer: You two should make a playdate of your own.
He's a big fan of yours. >> Kyle: Yeah, when he gets
home, I'm sure he'll talk your ears off about all the fun
adventures he had today. >> Diane: Allie.
>> Allie: Diane. Hi, I didn't know you were still
in town. >> Diane: Oh, I'm sure there's
quite a few people who wished I'd cut my visit short.
>> Kyle: Well, she extended her stay at my request.
We've spent so much time apart, I thought we could use the
opportunity to get to know each other better.
>> Summer: Kyle and I are headed back to the house.
Do you need a lift? >> Diane: No, don't go.
Please stay. I was really hoping we could
catch up. >> Allie: Um, yeah, yeah, okay.
I'll see you guys back at the house.
>> Phyllis: Obviously I'm digging myself in a hole here.
>> Jack: Then stop. >> Phyllis: I mean, I don't
want to leave here with you thinking these things about me.
It's horrible. Jack, this is real.
We are real. When I made love to you, that
was real. I like who I am around you,
whether, you know, we're laughing or...eating doughnuts
under the clouds. >> Jack: You still haven't
answered my questions. Why did you change your mind
about us being together? >> Phyllis: Okay, so you want to
know why I threw caution to the wind and went for you so hard.
That's what you want to know. Okay, well, you better pull up a
chair, 'cause I have a lot of things to say.
>> Jack: Sounds like a lot of rationalizing.
>> Phyllis: No, it's not rationalizing.
You listen to me. I mean, I -- I love being around
you. And you're special and -- and I
like what we have, and...I like that you accept me and you trust
me for the most part. [ Chuckles ]
And you still like me when I'm irrational and I fly off the
handle, which is a lot of times. >> Jack: Phyllis, you can talk
all day, trying to convince me there's no truth to the words
you hurled at Diane. I heard them all.
We cannot get around the fact that you have held me at a
distance for months now. And suddenly, you changed your
mind. Something changed that.
>> Phyllis: But, see, who cares what it was or when, why, how?
It doesn't matter. Why does that possibly matter?
I want you. I do.
And Diane coming into town, yeah, I mean, that did help.
It made me see what was in front of me, because I've been running
away from it for so long. We're happy, right?
I'm the happiest I've been in a really long time.
Aren't you happy? >> Jack: You know how happy I've
been. >> Phyllis: Okay.
Then that's all that matters. That we're happy.
We've come so far. Please don't tell me you want to
give up on us now.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] >> Allie: Thanks for paying for
coffee. You really didn't need to do
that. >> Diane: Oh, after everything
that's happened, we both know I owe you more than a cup of
coffee. I -- I feel I owe you an
apology, too. I blind-sided you.
Without any preparation or warning, you found out you had
an entire extended family. It -- It wasn't a very nice
thing to do. And I'm sorry.
>> Allie: It's okay. Actually -- Actually, no, it's
not okay. It was extremely self-serving of
you. I made my own decision to come
to Genoa City and get to know my family, and so far, it's -- it's
been pretty good. >> Diane: [ Chuckles ]
Well, I'm glad to hear that. >> Allie: Thanks.
>> Diane: And I'm not at all surprised.
The Abbotts are warm and loving. And I wouldn't have introduced
you to your grandfather if I hadn't known that he'd be
thrilled to learn of your existence and to welcome you
with open arms. >> Allie: Yeah, but that does
not change the deceptive way you went about it.
>> Diane: You're right. I should've handled it
differently. I could've explained the
situation to you and given you a choice, and the only reason I
didn't is -- >> Allie: Is because you wanted
to get something out of it. You wanted to use me to your
advantage. >> Diane: You're right.
I did. >> Adam: I admire your hopeful
enthusiasm. >> Sally: Oh, is that what I
have? >> Adam: Mm-hmm.
In abundance. But we are facing a real
setback. If Ashland's not around to
occupy Victoria's time, I cannot envision my father deciding to
put me in charge. >> Sally: Yeah, but how can he
not see that you're the right person for the job?
I mean, you have all the leadership qualities that he
wants. You have innovative ideas and
sometimes -- forgive me for saying this -- but you can be a
little nasty. >> Adam: [ Clears throat ]
>> Sally: You embody all the essential qualities of a CEO.
>> Adam: Uh, well, thank you. >> Sally: You're welcome.
>> Adam: But you are still fairly new around here.
You haven't seen how many times my father has dangled the CEO
position in front of me, only to rip it away at the last second.
I mean, he's like a bull fighter waving that thing in front of
me. >> Sally: [ Sighs ]
Okay. Well, the next time you have a
shot at the CEO title, you are gonna succeed because you have
something now that you've never had before.
>> Adam: Oh, yeah, what's that? >> Sally: Me.
>> Adam: Well, I cannot argue with that.
>> Sally: You have been fighting this fight all on your own.
But now you have me on your team, and we are unbeatable.
>> Adam: Yes, we are. >> Sally: So we just have to
come up with a spectacular plan "B" to get you in the big office
in the big chair, just like you deserve.
But you know the best part? We have time.
We're not desperate. I mean, look around, you are
running Newman Media and succeeding.
And I absolutely love working with you.
So we should just appreciate what we have while keeping our
eyes on the prize. And be patient.
And go slow. >> Nate: I was about to jump in
and make some suggestions about growing the business
relationship in light of the merger, but I thought better of
it. >> Devon: How come?
>> Nate: The timing didn't seem right.
Gwen was already saying she was unnerved by all the changes.
Last thing she needed was a flood of new ideas coming from
someone she had just met. Probably not too reassuring
while you're trying to convince her that things weren't gonna be
all that different. >> Devon: That makes a lot of
sense. Very smart of you.
I appreciate it. But I want you to know that I do
value your opinion, and when you have thoughts, I want to hear
them. >> Nate: Doesn't mean you won't
shoot them down, though, right? >> Devon: No, it doesn't, 'cause
it doesn't mean they're gonna be good.
But I do promise that I'll always listen to you.
>> Nate: Cool. Well, guess we'd better head
over to the meeting at The Grand Phoenix.
>> Devon: Yeah, let's do it. >> Lily: Who is in charge of the
swag bags for the launch? >> Imani: I'm pretty sure Nate
volunteered, which means they'll get done and get done right.
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ] I know, he's really hit the
ground running, right? He's been such a great addition
to the team. >> Imani: Don't expect me to be
objective as far as Nate Hastings goes.
I've been a fan since he was Dr. AskMDNow.
>> Lily: Oh, do you know it was my idea to have him be the
spokesperson? I had to beg him to take the
job. [ Chuckles ]
>> Imani: Well, you couldn't have made a better choice.
There's just something about Nate that makes you feel like
you can trust him with your life.
>> Phyllis: I mean, I think what we have is worth fighting for.
>> Jack: Who do you think we're fighting?
Diane? Are we supposed to stay together
for the very reason we apparently got together -- to
spite her? >> Phyllis: That's not my point
at all. >> Summer: Hi.
>> Phyllis: Hey. >> Jack: Hey.
Where's Harrison? >> Kyle: He's on a playdate with
Christian. >> Phyllis: Oh, with Christian.
That's sweet. >> Summer: What's going on here?
Did we interrupt something? >> Phyllis: No.
I have to get back to the hotel. Unless maybe --
>> Jack: Don't let me keep you. >> Phyllis: Alright.
>> Kyle: Sorry, Dad. I get the feeling our timing
wasn't exactly the best. >> Jack: It's nothing for you to
worry about. Phyllis and I said everything
that needs to be said. >> Summer: That doesn't sound
good. I'm gonna go catch up with my
mom. Jack, I'll see you later.
>> Jack: So did you get to the office today?
>> Kyle: Not yet. I was gonna go in later this
afternoon. >> Jack: Good.
How's the rest of your day going?
>> Kyle: Better than yours, I think.
Want to tell me what's going on?
>> Kyle: Are you going to tell me what happened?
>> Jack: Gee, what makes you think something happened?
>> Kyle: It's pretty obvious something's going on between you
and Phyllis. >> Jack: You know what?
Don't worry about it. Phyllis and I will work our way
through it. >> Kyle: I'm sure you can.
But I'm happy to lend an ear if you want.
God knows you've been a patient listener these past few weeks
while I struggled with how to handle this situation with my
mother. >> Jack: Actually, that reminds
me of something I wanted to tell you.
>> Kyle: If it's about my mother and Ashland making each other's
acquaintance, I already heard. Summer and I ran into her at the
Crimson Lights. She told me that you warned her
about keeping her distance from Ashland.
>> Jack: I made it as clear to her as possible that man is
poison. >> Kyle: Dealing with him is the
last thing she needs while she's trying to put her life back
together. >> Jack: Uh-huh.
>> Kyle: Dad, I can tell you're still thinking about Phyllis.
Sure you don't want to talk about it?
>> Jack: Remember the other day I told you that I wasn't at all
confident things would go smoothly for the two of us?
That was 'cause Phyllis is so unpredictable, and actually more
accurately, she's so completely predictable.
[ Cellphone rings ] This is Andrew in R&D.
I better take this. >> Kyle: Go ahead.
>> Jack: Hey, Andrew. I got the brief that you sent
me. Yeah, those are some pretty
clever ideas. >> Diane: It seems like you had
a chance to get to know my son. >> Allie: Yeah, yeah, Kyle's
great. And so is Summer.
They make a lovely couple. >> Diane: Yes, they do.
[ Chuckles ] It's so wonderful to see Kyle in
a healthy, stable, loving relationship.
He didn't have the benefit of being raised in that
environment. As hard as I tried, I just
couldn't provide him with that example.
And neither could Jack, despite all his wonderful qualities.
But I'm just so relieved that, against all odds, Kyle found
that magic. >> Allie: Yes, they seem quite
happy. >> Diane: Yeah, and Harrison.
[ Chuckles ] I've only met him a few times,
but, oh, he's adorable. He doesn't know I'm his
grandmother yet, but hopefully soon, and we decided that he's
going to call me DeeDee. >> Allie: Wow.
Well, I guess everything seemed to have worked out quite well
for you. I hope it was worth whatever it
took for you to become part of their lives.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] Okay, Allie.
I -- I do feel a sense of responsibility towards you.
>> Allie: You do? >> Diane: Yes.
And that's why I wanted to check in and see how you're doing and
make sure you have everything you need.
And the Abbotts are kind and generous, but there is a lot
going on in that house. And I don't know, it might be
easy to feel overlooked. >> Allie: Listen, Diane, I don't
mean to be unkind here, but if I needed something, I'd be more
likely to go ask the Abbotts than you.
>> Diane: Would you? Really?
Because you don't strike me as the kind of person who'd want to
call attention to yourself. >> Devon: So how was your visit
with Jill? >> Lily: It was good, really
good. Yeah.
She's happy with the merger and loves the roll-out marketing
plan, and I guess the board loves it, too.
>> Devon: That's great. That's great.
It's full steam ahead for us then.
>> Lily: Yeah. And then Billy brought me up to
speed on the compromise that you reached.
So I guess we'll just figure out which initiatives to launch
first and how to fit their announcement into our agenda.
>> Nate: We could do it after Lily and Devon's welcome
speech, let everyone know what makes the new company special.
>> Imani: That's a good idea. >> Devon: I don't know if it is.
Do we not want to build up to it?
>> Nate: Well, we can fit it in after the introductions of our
management team. >> Imani: That's brilliant, and
then they can each introduce the platform.
>> Lily: Well, I mean, it could work, but I wonder, do we save
it for a bigger finale moment? >> Nate: Sure, then we can end
with the video and the big reveal of our new logo.
>> Imani: Perfect, because -- >> Amanda: Imani, can you help
me with this text? I just need to draft a response.
Just over here. >> Imani: What is it?
>> Amanda: I already told you before.
Don't let me tell you again. Ease up on Nate.
He has a live-in girlfriend that he loves very much.
>> Imani: So you've said. >> Amanda: You have already made
your interest known repeatedly, and it stopped being cute a long
time ago. >> Imani: No one asked your
opinion. [ Knock on door ]
>> Phyllis: Jack. >> Summer: You were hoping it
was Jack, weren't you? >> Phyllis: I was not hoping it
was Jack. I was not.
We spent most of the day together, and I came back here.
I have a lot of work. >> Summer: Really, then what are
you doing in your suite? Mom, the tension between you and
Jack was more than obvious, so spill.
What's the story?
>> Imani: You know what? I've had enough of your advice.
We're all adults here. We get to make our own choices.
>> Amanda: Well, stop making such bad ones.
>> Imani: You may be my boss and my sister, but you are not my
conscience, so back off. >> Amanda: Imani, you --
>> Lily: So we need an update on the logo.
>> Nate: The final version should be done later today, then
we'll add it to our marketing pieces.
>> Imani: Well, I'm happy to double check the clearance on
all the video footage if you'd like.
Just let me know if there's anything you need.
>> Allie: [ Sighs ] Please don't take this the wrong
way, but I don't completely trust you.
And not that I'm angry or upset with how things turned out, but
I have been warned about you. And although you were
wonderfully nice to me in LA, you were also lying.
>> Diane: I get it. It makes perfect sense to keep
your guard up around someone you just met who made your
acquaintance under false pretenses.
But it can't hurt to have new friends, right?
And I am hoping that someday down the road, you might accept
me as one of them. >> Phyllis: You're lovely to
check on me. Nothing's going on, you know?
It -- It's -- It'll work itself out.
>> Summer: I am not buying this phony positivity.
I can see that you are upset. >> Phyllis: Oh, come on.
I'm emotional, Summer. You know that about me.
Don't worry about it. It -- It's nothing, really.
>> Summer: You know, Mom, we're a lot alike.
This is reminding me of when I was dealing with all of Sally's
scheming. I was desperately trying to keep
all of my anxiety inside. >> Phyllis: That's not the same.
>> Summer: Okay, well, if it's no big deal, then you should
have no problem telling me what's going on.
>> Phyllis: Summer! Summer!
I said it's not a big deal. Drop it.
Really. >> Summer: [ Sighs ]
No. Not until you tell me what is
going on. >> Phyllis: I don't want to get
into this with you. >> Summer: Why?
>> Phyllis: Summer, something is very wrong.
I screwed up.
