1
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:05,405
>> Summer: Thank you for
suggesting this night out.
2
00:00:05,472 --> 00:00:07,273
Things have been
so crazy lately, we've hardly
3
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:10,744
have any time to be alone.
Today has been quite a day with
4
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:13,913
Mom starting work at Marchetti.
>> Kyle: I was wondering
5
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:15,648
if our mothers have managed
to be on their best behavior
6
00:00:15,715 --> 00:00:18,151
around each other.
Yeah, they kept their word.
7
00:00:18,218 --> 00:00:20,653
>> Summer: So far, at least.
>> Kyle: I think we should take
8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,856
the win
and not talk about our mothers
9
00:00:22,922 --> 00:00:25,592
the rest of the evening.
>> Summer: Fine by me.
10
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:28,762
>> Kyle: I just want to focus
on you and us.
11
00:00:28,828 --> 00:00:31,698
That okay?
>> Summer: More than okay.
12
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:34,734
>> Kyle: Good, because I have
a surprise for you.
13
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:35,268
>> Summer: Mm.
14
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:39,038
>> Jack: It's no problem.
15
00:00:39,105 --> 00:00:41,608
I understand.
We'll just reschedule.
16
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:44,110
[ Knock on door ]
Yeah, we'll talk then.
17
00:00:44,177 --> 00:00:46,546
Perfect.
Well, I didn't expect to see you
18
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:48,681
here.
This is definitely after hours.
19
00:00:48,748 --> 00:00:51,151
>> Diane: [ Chuckles ]
Says the man still chained
20
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:53,319
to his desk.
Not that I'm comparing
21
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:57,657
the demands of being a CEO
to that of a junior publicist.
22
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:01,494
But I just wanted to say
good night.
23
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:03,229
How much longer will you be
here?
24
00:01:03,296 --> 00:01:05,198
>> Jack: Well, I was actually
supposed to have
25
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:06,733
a dinner meeting tonight,
but that just got canceled,
26
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,169
which is not a problem.
Except all day I have been
27
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:11,805
building this craving
for the food at Society.
28
00:01:11,871 --> 00:01:13,840
>> Diane: Oh.
Well, I was about
29
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,975
to swing by there and pick up
something for myself.
30
00:01:16,042 --> 00:01:18,978
I could put a takeout order in
for you or...
31
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:21,681
or, hey, if you'd like,
we could go and eat together.
32
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:23,983
I would -- I would love
to talk to you about my first
33
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:26,186
few days at Marchetti,
and I would gladly hear
34
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:30,089
any feedback you had to offer.
Interested?
35
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,396
>> Phyllis: I am assuming we are
alone.
36
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:39,499
>> Nikki: Yes, yes.
Let's get to it.
37
00:01:39,566 --> 00:01:41,868
>> Phyllis: Okay.
Well, thanks for the warm
38
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:43,636
welcome.
I mean, you called me here.
39
00:01:43,703 --> 00:01:46,573
>> Nikki: Okay. I'm sorry.
I have a lot on my mind.
40
00:01:46,639 --> 00:01:48,708
>> Phyllis: Okay.
I'm assuming it has to do
41
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:52,145
with Ashland Locke, right?
>> Nikki: His death continues
42
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:54,414
to affect our family.
But you and I have more things
43
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:57,183
to deal with, so...
how was your first day
44
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,153
at Marchetti?
>> Phyllis: [ Sighs ]
45
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:04,023
I handled it masterfully,
if I do say so myself.
46
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:06,860
Masterfully.
Nobody there has any idea
47
00:02:06,926 --> 00:02:09,796
that I have a secret plan
to sabotage Diane.
48
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:11,831
>> Nikki: Well,
given that all eyes are on you,
49
00:02:11,898 --> 00:02:16,536
that should be the bare minimum.
Were you able to take steps
50
00:02:16,603 --> 00:02:20,540
to damage her reputation
at the company?
51
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:23,076
>> Phyllis: I mean, well, it's
the first day.
52
00:02:23,142 --> 00:02:26,880
Don't get me wrong, nobody wants
Diane gone more than I do.
53
00:02:26,946 --> 00:02:29,382
But, I mean, it's going to take
some time and finesse.
54
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:32,185
You know that.
And need I remind you, you know,
55
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:35,622
while I'm there in the trenches,
you're at home sipping tea,
56
00:02:35,688 --> 00:02:38,424
doing nothing to further our
cause.
57
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:42,095
>> Nikki: [ Chuckles ]
That's where you're wrong.

>> Elena: Hey.
>> Devon: Hey.
63
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:28,074
>> Elena: I was stopping by to
see Nate
64
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:30,243
before the night shift.
I was hoping to
65
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:32,845
spend a little time with him
before the end of his workday.
66
00:03:32,912 --> 00:03:34,781
>> Devon: Oh, that's nice.
He's not here.
67
00:03:34,847 --> 00:03:38,051
I don't know where he's at.
>> Elena: Oh, no worries.
68
00:03:38,117 --> 00:03:40,820
I'll shoot him a text
and let you get back to work.
69
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:43,022
>> Devon: Yeah. Hey, I heard
that you got out of your
70
00:03:43,089 --> 00:03:46,025
contract with Newman Media and
you're able to come and join us.
71
00:03:46,092 --> 00:03:50,129
So I need to officially welcome
you to Chancellor-Winters.
72
00:03:50,196 --> 00:03:51,931
>> Elena: Yeah.
Thank you.
73
00:03:51,998 --> 00:03:55,501
It's nice to be in demand.
>> Devon: Yeah, I'm looking
74
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:59,372
forward to having you part of
the team.
75
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:03,710
You don't seem super excited
about it, though.
76
00:04:03,776 --> 00:04:05,979
Is coming here
what you still want to do or
77
00:04:06,045 --> 00:04:07,947
is something else going on?
78
00:04:13,886 --> 00:04:16,356
>> Nate: Well, welcome home.
>> Lily: Hi.
79
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:18,491
>> Nate: And congratulations
on knocking it
80
00:04:18,558 --> 00:04:20,860
out of the park on your trip.
>> Lily: Thank you.
81
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:23,663
It was definitely time
well spent, that's for sure.
82
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:26,065
But I am happy to be home
because you know how it is, when
83
00:04:26,132 --> 00:04:28,768
you're gone away a long time,
the more you realize
84
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:32,939
you've missed.
>> Nate: I suspect you came back
85
00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:35,708
to more than you bargained
for as far as Devon
86
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:40,947
and I are concerned.
I assume you've spoken with him.
87
00:04:41,014 --> 00:04:43,950
>> Lily: I have, yes.
So I thought it was a good idea
88
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:47,887
if you and I had a conversation,
but maybe away from the office.
89
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:52,358
>> Nate: I appreciate that.
>> Lily: So, look, first, I just
90
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:57,930
want to say that I knew
that this transition time
91
00:04:57,997 --> 00:05:00,867
would be, you know,
a challenge as we're all kind of
92
00:05:00,933 --> 00:05:04,070
settling into our positions.
Right? I mean, I went from
93
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:08,374
running a media division
to this huge entity.
94
00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:13,112
And for Devon, the same.
But, you know, for you,
95
00:05:13,179 --> 00:05:16,883
you went from medicine
to business,
96
00:05:16,949 --> 00:05:21,087
which is a huge shift.
So I'm not looking to place
97
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:23,956
blame on anyone.
I'm really not.
98
00:05:24,023 --> 00:05:27,060
I just want to hear
from you why you think
99
00:05:27,126 --> 00:05:29,929
that you and Devon are having
a hard time co-existing
100
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:35,234
at the office.
>> Nate: Alright.
101
00:05:35,301 --> 00:05:37,537
But before I get too far
into it,
102
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:40,640
I'd like to know if I'm talking
purely professionally to the
103
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:46,512
co-CEO of Chancellor-Winters
or if I'm speaking to my cousin.
104
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:52,485
Just how real can I be with you?
>> Lily: Well, look, if we're
105
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:55,521
gonna move forward and fix this,
then I want you
106
00:05:55,588 --> 00:05:56,956
to be as real as possible.
107
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:06,899
>> Summer: Okay.
108
00:06:06,966 --> 00:06:10,203
Don't let me fall into the pool.
>> Kyle: I would never.
109
00:06:10,269 --> 00:06:12,638
I think we should have a private
swim when we get back
110
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:14,674
to the house later.
>> Summer: Ooh, that sounds
111
00:06:14,741 --> 00:06:17,210
like a good idea.
I'm a lucky girl.
112
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:20,480
>> Kyle: And I'm a lucky guy.
>> Summer: Okay. Can I open my
113
00:06:20,546 --> 00:06:21,547
eyes now?
>> Kyle: Mm.
114
00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:23,382
>> Summer: Oh, okay.
>> Kyle: Almost there.
115
00:06:23,449 --> 00:06:27,120
Here.
Okay.
116
00:06:27,186 --> 00:06:31,958
>> Summer: [ Exhales sharply ]
This is so sweet.
117
00:06:32,024 --> 00:06:33,359
Are those drinks what I think
they are?
118
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:35,328
>> Kyle: Negronis.
And there's bruschetta
119
00:06:35,394 --> 00:06:38,030
on the way.
>> Summer: Mm. [ Chuckles ]
120
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:45,705
This is bringing back
so many memories
121
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:48,541
of our favorite rooftop bar
in Milan.
122
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:51,244
And that breathtaking view of
the Duomo.
123
00:06:51,310 --> 00:06:54,947
>> Kyle: May not be able
to see the Duomo from here,
124
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:57,617
but the view
is just as breathtaking.
125
00:06:57,683 --> 00:06:58,985
>> Summer: You're a real
charmer, you know that?
126
00:06:59,051 --> 00:07:01,687
>> Kyle: Eh,
you make it pretty easy.
127
00:07:01,754 --> 00:07:03,656
>> Summer: I have to admit,
as happy as I am
128
00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:06,526
to be back in Genoa City,
there are still moments
129
00:07:06,592 --> 00:07:09,896
when I miss Italy.
>> Kyle: I do too.
130
00:07:09,962 --> 00:07:12,064
That's why I thought we could
enjoy a little taste of it
131
00:07:12,131 --> 00:07:14,033
this evening.
132
00:07:19,405 --> 00:07:21,007
>> Summer: Do you remember
that first night we discovered
133
00:07:21,073 --> 00:07:24,877
that other rooftop deck with
the best negronis in the city?
134
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:28,114
We held hands across the table
like we didn't want to let go.
135
00:07:28,181 --> 00:07:30,850
>> Kyle: Mm.
>> Summer: And we danced until
136
00:07:30,917 --> 00:07:35,188
we could not dance anymore.
>> Kyle: When we finally got
137
00:07:35,254 --> 00:07:38,691
home, we stayed up all night
wrapped in each other's arms,
138
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:42,628
watched the sunrise.
Should make sure to make more
139
00:07:42,695 --> 00:07:46,165
of those memories,
no matter where we are.
140
00:07:46,232 --> 00:07:50,469
>> Summer: I would love that.
And I love you.
141
00:07:57,076 --> 00:07:58,878
>> Jack: I'm not sure I'm the
one you should be talking
142
00:07:58,945 --> 00:08:01,747
to about your job performance.
Wouldn't it be better to pick
143
00:08:01,814 --> 00:08:04,450
Kyle's brain?
>> Diane: I suspect Kyle
144
00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:08,287
might take a softer approach.
I am his mother after all.
145
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:09,655
>> Jack: Yeah, you have a point
there.
146
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:11,958
>> Diane: Yes, and besides, you
gave me really good advice
147
00:08:12,024 --> 00:08:14,327
before,
and I know you'll give me
148
00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:17,163
the cold, hard truth,
which is what I need
149
00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:21,734
if I'm going to succeed.
As you know, Jack, this is --
150
00:08:21,801 --> 00:08:25,838
this is really an important job
for me to do well at.
151
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:27,940
I need to prove myself
to our son.
152
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:30,009
And I need to show him that
I'm worthy of the second chance
153
00:08:30,076 --> 00:08:35,615
I've been given.
Interested?
154
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:38,818
>> Jack: Okay.
Dinner it is.
155
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:46,225
>> Phyllis: Okay. I'm sorry,
I thought we were all
156
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:48,594
in agreement that we were going
to take Diane down,
157
00:08:48,661 --> 00:08:51,697
and I was going to do that
by working at Marchetti.
158
00:08:51,764 --> 00:08:55,468
Are you going rogue?
>> Nikki: Not at all.
159
00:08:55,534 --> 00:08:58,504
I have a meeting with an
L.A.-based investigative
160
00:08:58,571 --> 00:09:02,942
reporter tonight.
>> Phyllis: Oh, listen to this.
161
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:05,177
You found an ally.
>> Nikki: Actually, she found
162
00:09:05,244 --> 00:09:08,180
me.
She's looking for a juicy story,
163
00:09:08,247 --> 00:09:11,617
and Diane certainly fits that
bill.
164
00:09:11,684 --> 00:09:15,321
>> Phyllis: I'm very intrigued.
I mean, even if she doesn't
165
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:18,357
come up with any ammo
to use against Diane,
166
00:09:18,424 --> 00:09:21,894
I certainly can -- can have her
expose whatever, you know,
167
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:25,765
career-ending,
relationship-destroying
168
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:28,701
information that I find.
>> Nikki: I would be open to
169
00:09:28,768 --> 00:09:30,169
that, should that become an
option.
170
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:32,838
But first things first,
I want to see how this initial
171
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:35,408
meeting goes.
>> Phyllis: Right. I mean,
172
00:09:35,474 --> 00:09:40,513
I could help on the back end.
You know, could I meet
173
00:09:40,579 --> 00:09:41,847
this journalist with you?
174
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:52,224
>> Elena: Don't get me wrong,
I am grateful
175
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:54,994
for the opportunity
to work with Chancellor-Winters.
176
00:09:55,061 --> 00:09:58,364
And even though the hospital
is my priority,
177
00:09:58,431 --> 00:10:01,267
I love that I'm going to be able
to reach more people and offer
178
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:04,804
my guidance and support.
And I'm also really excited
179
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:07,740
to expand on the scope of what
I've already been working on.
180
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:09,942
>> Devon: Okay, that all sounds
great.
181
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:14,847
It must be something else
on your mind, then.
182
00:10:14,914 --> 00:10:19,485
>> Elena: I don't know.
I guess I'm still just coming
183
00:10:19,552 --> 00:10:23,656
to terms with the reality
of Nate's job here.
184
00:10:23,723 --> 00:10:26,926
It's certainly thrown me
some curveballs.
185
00:10:26,993 --> 00:10:34,033
If I'm being honest...
I feel like we're kind of
186
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:40,806
drifting apart.
And I think we'll be okay.
187
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:44,910
I don't know, maybe it's just
a reminder that things
188
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:50,282
don't always go as expected.
>> Devon: Yeah, certainly don't.
189
00:10:50,349 --> 00:10:52,651
I'm sorry that you're feeling
like this, though.
190
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:56,055
But I definitely know
what you mean.
191
00:10:57,456 --> 00:11:00,359
>> Nate: Devon believes I need
more guidance to better
192
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,728
understand my position at the
company.
193
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:05,498
He thinks I'm not respecting
his boundaries or his authority,
194
00:11:05,564 --> 00:11:10,169
which is simply not true.
I have a great deal
195
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:13,472
of admiration for Devon,
and I totally respect
196
00:11:13,539 --> 00:11:17,977
his experience.
But I think he's been autonomous
197
00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:21,580
for so long, he's forgotten
how to collaborate.
198
00:11:21,647 --> 00:11:23,849
>> Lily: Really?
I mean, that hasn't been
199
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:27,420
my experience with him.
>> Nate: That might be because
200
00:11:27,486 --> 00:11:31,524
the two of you are equals.
You're co-CEOs and siblings.
201
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:36,028
We don't have that same dynamic.
>> Lily: Okay.
202
00:11:36,095 --> 00:11:39,799
So, I mean, what do you think
the source of the problem is?
203
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:43,702
>> Nate: Inflexibility
and, frankly, ego.
204
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:47,873
Devon refuses to accept any good
ideas if they're not his own.
205
00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:51,477
And I have given him
some pretty damn good ideas.
206
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:55,414
Have I also made some missteps?
Absolutely.
207
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:57,716
But that doesn't mean I'm not
motivated to do everything
208
00:11:57,783 --> 00:12:00,820
I can to make Chancellor-Winters
better.
209
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:04,056
Everything I've done has been
with one goal in mind --
210
00:12:04,123 --> 00:12:08,160
Chancellor-Winters' success.
I just don't believe Devon
211
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:10,930
should constantly hold me back
when there are so many things
212
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:13,199
we could accomplish.
>> Lily: Okay, well,
213
00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:16,735
give me an example.
>> Nate: One, I'd like to
214
00:12:16,802 --> 00:12:20,039
broaden the talent pool
and the styles of acts we sign,
215
00:12:20,106 --> 00:12:22,675
then create our own festivals
across the country
216
00:12:22,741 --> 00:12:24,877
to showcase them.
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean,
217
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:27,079
I like the concept,
but, I mean, the logistics
218
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:29,748
are very complicated.
>> Nate: That doesn't mean
219
00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:34,086
it's not worth exploring.
And even if it's not viable,
220
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:38,023
we can definitely expand
our streaming platforms
221
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:41,861
to appeal to a wider audience.
Devon is too particular
222
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:45,698
and selective with his vision.
He handpicks the acts based
223
00:12:45,764 --> 00:12:47,967
on his personal taste.
>> Lily: Yeah, but I think
224
00:12:48,033 --> 00:12:50,503
that's what sets us apart,
right?
225
00:12:50,569 --> 00:12:53,072
I mean, he's like a curator.
>> Nate: Well, that's fine
226
00:12:53,139 --> 00:12:57,042
for a boutique business owner,
but for a company like ours,
227
00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:00,513
we should be thinking
global conquest.
228
00:13:00,579 --> 00:13:04,083
There's no reason for Devon to
feel threatened by this approach
229
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:06,352
or have any issues
with the ideas
230
00:13:06,418 --> 00:13:08,320
other than they come from me.
231
00:13:12,658 --> 00:13:14,627
>> Kyle: I should really
learn how to make negronis
232
00:13:14,693 --> 00:13:16,629
at home.
>> Summer: Mm, so we can have a
233
00:13:16,695 --> 00:13:18,297
taste of Italy
without ever leaving the house?
234
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:20,733
>> Kyle: I don't care where we
are, as long as I get to look
235
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:22,768
at this.
>> Summer: You know, I wasn't
236
00:13:22,835 --> 00:13:24,503
sure if I was going to like
these at first.
237
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:27,339
Gin, vermouth,
Campari, and an orange peel.
238
00:13:27,406 --> 00:13:28,974
>> Kyle: It is an unusual
combination,
239
00:13:29,041 --> 00:13:31,076
but sometimes those are the best
kinds.
240
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:35,381
Things that don't seem to go
together, but somehow do.
241
00:13:35,447 --> 00:13:38,651
>> Summer: An unexpected yet
magical elixir.
242
00:13:38,717 --> 00:13:40,519
>> Kyle: Exactly.
[ Chuckles ]
243
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:44,924
Maybe we should head home
to have that swim.
244
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:50,663
If no one else is around,
we can forget our swimsuits.
245
00:13:50,729 --> 00:13:54,400
What do you say?
What's the matter?
246
00:13:54,466 --> 00:14:00,306
>> Summer: Um...
I'm not sure yet.
247
00:14:00,372 --> 00:14:06,912
What is wrong with that picture?
>> Kyle: There's nothing
248
00:14:06,979 --> 00:14:11,450
necessarily wrong.
Odd, maybe.
249
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:13,819
>> Summer: My mom and grandma
barely gave each other the time
250
00:14:13,886 --> 00:14:15,955
of day.
>> Kyle: Setting aside old
251
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:19,225
grudges and rivalries is the new
trend of Genoa City.
252
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:21,527
>> Summer: Right,
but why would they be here
253
00:14:21,594 --> 00:14:24,363
to chat over drinks?
In what universe
254
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:30,669
does that make any sense?
Something's up.
255
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,579
>> Diane: I've been trying to
find a balance at work
256
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:43,115
my first few days.
I don't want to come on
257
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:46,318
too strong, but I also
don't want to be invisible.
258
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:50,256
>> Jack: I somehow don't think
you could manage to fly under
259
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:52,958
the radar if you wanted to.
>> Diane: You know what I mean.
260
00:14:53,025 --> 00:14:57,029
I'm just trying to navigate
office politics, I guess.
261
00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:58,631
>> Jack: Well, just don't be
so hard on yourself.
262
00:14:58,697 --> 00:15:01,667
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Neither were Italian
263
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:04,303
fashion houses.
Trust your gut.
264
00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:07,139
Trust your instincts.
You're a smart,
265
00:15:07,206 --> 00:15:11,377
resourceful woman.
>> Diane: Oh, thank you.
266
00:15:11,443 --> 00:15:14,179
I'd like to think so.
But after my meeting
267
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:17,850
with Mariah,
wow, I felt like a neophyte.
268
00:15:17,916 --> 00:15:20,185
I mean, don't -- don't --
don't get me wrong.
269
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:22,855
I think we're going to work
really well together once I get
270
00:15:22,921 --> 00:15:26,825
a bit more experienced.
It's just that young woman,
271
00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:28,327
she really knows
what she's doing.
272
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:30,362
>> Jack: I'm very impressed
with Mariah myself.
273
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:33,799
Did Kyle maybe mention
that he recruited her?
274
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:37,269
No background in cosmetics,
no experience in marketing,
275
00:15:37,336 --> 00:15:40,873
and yet he somehow thought
she was right for the job.
276
00:15:40,939 --> 00:15:44,977
>> Diane: She's a powerhouse,
and it kind of hit home
277
00:15:45,044 --> 00:15:47,413
how much I have to learn.
>> Jack: My point is,
278
00:15:47,479 --> 00:15:50,249
Kyle has an eye for talent.
He didn't just hire you
279
00:15:50,316 --> 00:15:53,919
because you're his mother.
He obviously has some faith
280
00:15:53,986 --> 00:15:56,955
in your ability
to meet the challenge.
281
00:15:57,022 --> 00:16:00,292
>> Diane: And I will.
But it's certainly humbling
282
00:16:00,359 --> 00:16:04,229
being a junior employee
and reporting to someone young
283
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:06,598
enough to be your daughter.
>> Jack: So think of it
284
00:16:06,665 --> 00:16:10,169
as a stepping stone.
My God, what you've done in your
285
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:14,306
life -- you have been a model,
an architect, a Realtor.
286
00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:15,908
You've managed to climb
the ladder
287
00:16:15,974 --> 00:16:21,547
and so many different fields.
>> Diane: Thank you for your
288
00:16:21,613 --> 00:16:24,883
support, Jack.
It means a lot.
289
00:16:24,950 --> 00:16:28,987
And since we're being so open
with each other, I, uh...
290
00:16:29,054 --> 00:16:33,392
I do have another confession
to make.
291
00:16:36,795 --> 00:16:39,765
>> Kyle: Phyllis and Nikki have
some things in common, like you,
292
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:43,135
Nick, or maybe there's
some other reasonable
293
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:46,839
explanation they're together.
>> Summer: I just have a really
294
00:16:46,905 --> 00:16:48,674
weird feeling about this.
>> Kyle: I get it,
295
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:51,009
but it's not really any
of our business.
296
00:16:51,076 --> 00:16:54,546
Tonight's supposed to be
about us.
297
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:57,549
>> Summer: You're right.
I'm sorry.
298
00:16:57,616 --> 00:17:00,419
Let's get back to what's
important.
299
00:17:04,456 --> 00:17:06,358
>> Talia: Hi.
>> Nikki: Oh, hi, Talia.
300
00:17:06,425 --> 00:17:10,229
Please sit down.
Thank you so much for joining
301
00:17:10,295 --> 00:17:12,398
us.
This is my friend
302
00:17:12,464 --> 00:17:15,367
Phyllis Summers.
>> Phyllis: Nice to meet you.
303
00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:18,137
>> Talia: You too.
>> Nikki: Phyllis and I go way
304
00:17:18,203 --> 00:17:20,439
back, and we both go way back
with Diane.
305
00:17:20,506 --> 00:17:22,307
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
>> Talia: Your name has come up
306
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:24,910
in my research.
>> Phyllis: Oh, really?
307
00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:26,645
Wow.
Okay, well, usually when
308
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:28,747
people say my name's come up,
it makes me nervous,
309
00:17:28,814 --> 00:17:31,383
but not in this case,
because Diane is
310
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:34,319
the infamous one here.
>> Nikki: Well, Talia first
311
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:37,589
contacted me wanting to do an
article about Ashland's death
312
00:17:37,656 --> 00:17:40,659
and how it affected our family.
But I told her
313
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:44,296
I thought that was old news,
that the Newmans were just fine.
314
00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:47,433
>> Phyllis: Well...
>> Nikki: And then I told her
315
00:17:47,499 --> 00:17:50,736
about Diane's resurrection.
>> Talia: And I became very
316
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:53,005
interested.
I sensed that would be a
317
00:17:53,071 --> 00:17:56,208
fabulous story for my magazine.
>> Phyllis: I couldn't agree
318
00:17:56,275 --> 00:17:58,210
more.
319
00:18:00,546 --> 00:18:02,414
>> Elena: When you say
you know what I mean,
320
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:06,251
I assume you're talking
about your issues with Nate
321
00:18:06,318 --> 00:18:09,888
and the tension that's been
developing between you two.
322
00:18:09,955 --> 00:18:13,091
>> Devon: That is a great
assumption.
323
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:15,928
>> Elena: Well, I guess we can't
resolve any of that now,
324
00:18:15,994 --> 00:18:18,530
so there's no point
in jumping into a whole nother
325
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:21,433
conversation about it, is there?
>> Devon: Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh, not
326
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,469
at all.
But I want you to know
327
00:18:23,535 --> 00:18:26,338
that no matter what issues Nate
and I have professionally,
328
00:18:26,405 --> 00:18:28,707
it's not going to change the way
I feel about him.
329
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:30,976
He's family.
and any concerns that you have
330
00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:33,912
about that or anything else,
you know you can always talk
331
00:18:33,979 --> 00:18:37,583
to me because I consider
you family, too.
332
00:18:37,649 --> 00:18:41,286
It's nice that we're still
so close and that you live
333
00:18:41,353 --> 00:18:45,357
literally across the hall.
>> Elena: Yeah.
334
00:18:45,424 --> 00:18:48,794
I feel the same way.
>> Devon: Thanks.
335
00:18:48,861 --> 00:18:51,663
You know, this --
this whole thing with me
336
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:55,467
and Lily and Nate and Billy
working together is definitely
337
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:57,536
a transition.
It's going to have some
338
00:18:57,603 --> 00:19:00,539
difficulties.
But I certainly don't want
339
00:19:00,606 --> 00:19:04,543
the tension to ever affect you
or your home life with Nate.
340
00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:06,845
>> Elena: Thank you for saying
that.
341
00:19:06,912 --> 00:19:11,250
And I will try my best.
>> Devon: [ Chuckles ]
342
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:14,086
>> Elena: Anyway, I should get
going.
343
00:19:14,152 --> 00:19:15,988
>> Devon: Alright, I will see
you around.
344
00:19:16,054 --> 00:19:17,923
>> Elena: See you.
345
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,962
>> Nate: Every time Devon shuts
me down, he claims it's not
346
00:19:24,029 --> 00:19:30,936
personal, but it seems pretty
damn personal to me.
347
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:34,573
Have I gone too far now?
>> Lily: No. No, no, no.
348
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,175
Look, I told you to be
frank, and honestly,
349
00:19:37,242 --> 00:19:39,645
I really appreciate your candor.
I do.
350
00:19:39,711 --> 00:19:42,481
And thank you for sharing your
ideas with me,
351
00:19:42,548 --> 00:19:46,852
because I think that they're
actually worth considering.
352
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:50,088
>> Nate: Thank you.
>> Lily: You're welcome.
353
00:19:50,155 --> 00:19:53,258
So, I mean, how do you
see things moving forward
354
00:19:53,325 --> 00:19:56,128
with you and Devon?
Because a little tension
355
00:19:56,194 --> 00:19:59,231
with a colleague is very normal,
but a lot can be
356
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:02,668
very disruptive, right?
And honestly, I don't think
357
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:07,105
it's all coming from him.
>> Nate: I apologize for my part
358
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:10,375
in that tension.
The fact that you're really
359
00:20:10,442 --> 00:20:13,178
listening to me right now
makes me wonder what I've been
360
00:20:13,245 --> 00:20:16,949
doing wrong with Devon.
I truly want this to work,
361
00:20:17,015 --> 00:20:21,186
and I know Devon and I
have to find our footing.
362
00:20:21,253 --> 00:20:24,523
I finally feel like that can
happen now because of you.
363
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:28,694
[ Both chuckle ]
You're pretty good at this whole
364
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,229
leadership thing.
>> Lily: Oh, thank you.
365
00:20:31,296 --> 00:20:34,166
I try.
[ Chuckles ]
366
00:20:34,232 --> 00:20:37,703
>> Nate: So where do we go from
here?
367
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:43,241
>> Lily: Oh, yeah.
Um...
368
00:20:43,308 --> 00:20:46,745
You know what?
Let me figure out the next step
369
00:20:46,812 --> 00:20:47,813
with Devon.
370
00:20:57,189 --> 00:20:59,391
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
371
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:21,647
>> Diane: I know since I showed
up back in town, I've projected
372
00:21:21,713 --> 00:21:27,786
a sense of confidence.
Some might even call me brazen,
373
00:21:27,853 --> 00:21:33,525
but in reality, I've --
I've been nervous, fearful
374
00:21:33,592 --> 00:21:36,862
even, about what the future
might hold, about
375
00:21:36,928 --> 00:21:39,931
starting over with Kyle
and then building a whole other
376
00:21:39,998 --> 00:21:46,271
life for myself here again.
But I have to say,
377
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:51,710
what I feel most right now
is excitement to be
378
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:56,882
at this stage of my life
and have so many firsts,
379
00:21:56,948 --> 00:22:00,218
starting with being
a respectable and upstanding
380
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:04,289
member of Genoa City society.
>> Jack: No comment.
381
00:22:04,356 --> 00:22:07,392
>> Diane: [ Laughs ]
No, well, seriously.
382
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:11,296
Being a grandmother has been
one of the most rewarding
383
00:22:11,363 --> 00:22:14,599
experiences of my life,
and starting a new career
384
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:18,503
is exciting.
Although I have to say,
385
00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:21,006
Phyllis's sudden appearance
on the payroll at Marchetti
386
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:24,843
really threw me off my game.
>> Jack: Yes, I know how upset
387
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:29,047
you were when she was hired,
spewing all kinds of accusations
388
00:22:29,114 --> 00:22:31,650
and suspicions.
>> Diane: Well, I can imagine
389
00:22:31,717 --> 00:22:33,785
that you understand my
reluctance to ever trust
390
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:37,756
Phyllis.
But that being said,
391
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:40,559
I am determined to take
the high road,
392
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:41,993
even if she can't.
393
00:22:43,261 --> 00:22:44,463
>> Talia: Now, I'm sure you both
394
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:47,299
can give me a wealth of info.
I'd also like to speak
395
00:22:47,365 --> 00:22:50,302
to Jack Abbott at some point.
>> Nikki: Oh, that can be
396
00:22:50,368 --> 00:22:51,737
arranged.
>> Talia: I'm curious about
397
00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:56,408
those years in L.A. as well.
>> Phyllis: Uh, so are we.
398
00:22:56,475 --> 00:23:00,812
I mean, it seems so unlikely
that Diane was just living
399
00:23:00,879 --> 00:23:04,583
a quiet life in Los Angeles
and she just stumbled across
400
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:07,185
Jack's granddaughter.
>> Talia: Does strike me
401
00:23:07,252 --> 00:23:10,288
as an unlikely coincidence.
>> Nikki: Now, Talia,
402
00:23:10,355 --> 00:23:13,725
I have to tell you that I have
had people in Los Angeles
403
00:23:13,792 --> 00:23:17,095
digging around.
They haven't found anything yet.
404
00:23:17,162 --> 00:23:20,499
>> Phyllis: I mean, did Nikki
tell you that Diane was sending
405
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:22,868
Jack a bunch of cryptic text
messages,
406
00:23:22,934 --> 00:23:26,037
getting him to come to L.A.?
Did she tell you that?
407
00:23:26,104 --> 00:23:29,241
I mean, to me, that just doesn't
seem like a changed woman.
408
00:23:29,307 --> 00:23:31,510
>> Nikki: Well, I don't really
think that that is worth
409
00:23:31,576 --> 00:23:33,245
exploring,
because Diane has already
410
00:23:33,311 --> 00:23:35,881
acknowledged she was just trying
to become sympathetic
411
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:37,749
in Jack's eyes
by uniting him with his
412
00:23:37,816 --> 00:23:40,085
granddaughter.
>> Phyllis: Okay, I know that's
413
00:23:40,152 --> 00:23:42,721
what Diane said, but, I mean,
she's the investigative
414
00:23:42,788 --> 00:23:44,689
reporter.
We'll let her decide.
415
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:47,058
>> Nikki: I'm just trying to
prevent her from wasting her
416
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:49,995
valuable time.
It behooves all of us for her
417
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:53,565
to publish her story quickly.
>> Phyllis: Well, okay.
418
00:23:53,632 --> 00:23:55,433
I mean, maybe
we shouldn't be focusing on
419
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:57,836
her time in L.A.
Maybe -- Maybe we should be
420
00:23:57,903 --> 00:24:02,073
focusing on her time right here
in Genoa City.
421
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:07,112
We have full access
to this woman, so we can help
422
00:24:07,179 --> 00:24:10,482
in any way possible
with this investigation.
423
00:24:15,487 --> 00:24:18,790
>> Nate: Hey.
Glad we got to see
424
00:24:18,857 --> 00:24:21,760
each other tonight.
Do you want to stay here or go
425
00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:24,863
somewhere else for dinner?
>> Elena: This is fine.
426
00:24:24,930 --> 00:24:30,335
I'm not that hungry.
>> Nate: Okay, come sit.
427
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:32,270
>> Elena: Thanks.
428
00:24:36,408 --> 00:24:41,279
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
>> Elena: I stopped by the
429
00:24:41,346 --> 00:24:43,715
office earlier.
Thought you'd be there.
430
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:45,183
>> Nate: Yes, I should have
been,
431
00:24:45,250 --> 00:24:48,787
but Lily's back and she asked me
to meet her here.
432
00:24:48,854 --> 00:24:52,123
>> Elena: Why?
>> Nate: To keep things low key
433
00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:55,227
and to avoid any interruptions
by Devon.
434
00:24:55,293 --> 00:24:57,629
>> Elena: Ah.
So I guess Lily is up to speed
435
00:24:57,696 --> 00:24:59,497
with what happened with you and
Devon.
436
00:24:59,564 --> 00:25:02,734
>> Nate: She is.
>> Elena: So how'd that go?
437
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:08,607
Was it a rough conversation?
>> Nate: The opposite, actually.
438
00:25:08,673 --> 00:25:10,842
I think things are finally
going to start heading
439
00:25:10,909 --> 00:25:14,846
in the right direction.
>> Lily: Alright.
440
00:25:14,913 --> 00:25:17,449
Well, I'm glad we had a chance
to touch base about the tour.
441
00:25:17,515 --> 00:25:19,484
>> Devon: Me, too.
We're all set and booked in
442
00:25:19,551 --> 00:25:21,519
every major venue across the
Midwest.
443
00:25:21,586 --> 00:25:24,456
>> Lily: Yeah, great.
Actually, a couple more ideas
444
00:25:24,522 --> 00:25:27,425
I have that I wanted
to run by you if you have time.
445
00:25:27,492 --> 00:25:29,928
>> Devon: I do have time, yeah.
What's up?
446
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:34,299
>> Lily: Um...well, I was
thinking that,
447
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:37,269
you know, maybe we should adjust
our strategy
448
00:25:37,335 --> 00:25:40,805
when it comes to music festivals
and the kind of music we have
449
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:44,075
on our streaming services.
>> Devon: Adjust it how?
450
00:25:44,142 --> 00:25:49,147
>> Lily: Well, maybe we do
our own music festival?
451
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:51,416
[ Chuckles ]
Or maybe we have on
452
00:25:51,483 --> 00:25:53,852
different musical acts,
so that way we can reach
453
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:59,024
a bigger and broader audience.
>> Devon: Yeah, my first thought
454
00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:02,060
is that our own music festival
is pretty ambitious
455
00:26:02,127 --> 00:26:03,995
and I would be concerned
that we would be stretching
456
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:07,365
ourselves a little thin.
But...
457
00:26:07,432 --> 00:26:09,534
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Devon: I mean, if we were
458
00:26:09,601 --> 00:26:12,337
able to pull something like that
off, I see it being pretty damn
459
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:15,240
cool.
We should get everybody together
460
00:26:15,307 --> 00:26:17,309
and have a meeting
to talk about it.
461
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:20,345
>> Lily: Really?
Okay, so you'll keep an open
462
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:22,113
mind?
'Cause, I mean, I think I made
463
00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:24,582
a pretty good pitch.
>> Devon: Of course you do.
464
00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:27,986
They're your ideas.
>> Lily: Well, actually,
465
00:26:28,053 --> 00:26:30,956
they're not my ideas.
They're Nate's.
466
00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:41,499
>> Nate: It was great
to feel heard by Lily,
467
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:46,571
to have my instincts validated.
She liked my ideas, and I
468
00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:50,408
am confident she'll support them
with Devon.
469
00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:53,478
>> Elena: That sounds great,
but how exactly does that
470
00:26:53,545 --> 00:26:57,315
resolve your issues with Devon?
>> Nate: Lily gets what's going
471
00:26:57,382 --> 00:26:59,351
on with Devon.
Not that she let me off the hook
472
00:26:59,417 --> 00:27:01,720
for my role
in the conflict either.
473
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:05,090
She's made it clear she thinks
it's a two-way street,
474
00:27:05,156 --> 00:27:07,525
but she also understands
that I'm doing everything
475
00:27:07,592 --> 00:27:10,695
I can to help make
Chancellor-Winters better,
476
00:27:10,762 --> 00:27:15,600
sometimes in spite of Devon.
He's acknowledged
477
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:18,003
that the two of them
keep each other in check.
478
00:27:18,069 --> 00:27:20,905
So when Lilly backs me up,
I feel like
479
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:23,041
Devon will have no choice
but to stop instantly
480
00:27:23,108 --> 00:27:24,976
squashing my ideas.
481
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:33,284
I thought you'd agree
this was a positive development.
482
00:27:33,351 --> 00:27:35,220
What am I missing?
483
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:40,825
>> Devon: Now, wait a second.
Did Nate, like,
484
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:42,994
put you up to this,
to try and trick me
485
00:27:43,061 --> 00:27:45,397
and prove that I only
like your ideas or something?
486
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:47,999
>> Lily: No, no.
Nate shared his ideas with me,
487
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:51,269
and I chose to pitch them
to you to see if maybe
488
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:53,872
you would respond differently
if it came from someone else.
489
00:27:53,938 --> 00:27:56,241
>> Devon: Why is my COO
bringing his ideas to you
490
00:27:56,307 --> 00:27:58,209
before bringing them to me?
>> Lily: No, I asked to meet
491
00:27:58,276 --> 00:28:00,245
with him.
I encouraged him
492
00:28:00,311 --> 00:28:02,714
to open up to me,
and I just wanted to gauge
493
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:05,650
for myself how you would respond
if the idea came
494
00:28:05,717 --> 00:28:08,153
from someone else.
And, you know, now that you know
495
00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:11,823
it's his idea and not mine,
does that change your
496
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:14,025
opinion at all?
Because, I mean,
497
00:28:14,092 --> 00:28:16,428
based on your previous reaction,
I feel like maybe it would have.
498
00:28:16,494 --> 00:28:18,463
>> Devon: No, it wouldn't have.
It wouldn't have at all.
499
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:22,300

it's a little underhanded.
500
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:26,971
>> Lily: Okay. I'm sorry.
I am, but maybe it had to happen
501
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:29,574
this way to kind of open up
your eyes to this bias
502
00:28:29,641 --> 00:28:32,444

Look, I just --
503
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,712
I'm trying to help, okay?
I want to fix this,
504
00:28:34,779 --> 00:28:37,482
because if this keeps going on,
it could get way out of hand.
505
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:39,117

have to trick me.

You're right. You're right.

>> Jack: You and Phyllis managed
to survive day one as coworkers.
513
00:29:04,442 --> 00:29:07,745
That's no small thing.
Here's to following suit
514
00:29:07,812 --> 00:29:10,782
in the days ahead.
>> Diane: I hope so, too.
515
00:29:10,849 --> 00:29:13,418
But you know what?
Even if Phyllis does try to
516
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:16,187
undermine me,
I'm on the lookout for it.
517
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:18,590
And whatever her agenda is,
it will be over
518
00:29:18,656 --> 00:29:21,192
before it begins.
>> Jack: You seem very calm
519
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:23,962
and levelheaded in saying that.
>> Diane: Yes, I refuse to get
520
00:29:24,028 --> 00:29:29,200
worked up about it ever again.
And don't tell Phyllis this
521
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:34,973
because it kills me to admit it,
but...
522
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:38,409
in a way,
I empathize with her.
523
00:29:38,476 --> 00:29:40,778
>> Jack: Wait, how so?
>> Diane: Oh, now, don't read
524
00:29:40,845 --> 00:29:45,083
too much into it.
I'm just saying that
525
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:49,354
I understand why Phyllis
feels the way she does.
526
00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:53,191
I came back into her life in a
way that feels intrusive to her.
527
00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:56,060
And as someone who's been
the ultimate outsider,
528
00:29:56,127 --> 00:30:00,598
I suppose I can't blame her.
She feels threatened by me.

00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:08,006
Well, now that Harrison knows
I'm his grandmother, I get

to spend so much time with him
and Summer and Kyle and...
533
00:30:13,044 --> 00:30:17,615
Oh, look at us, sitting here
having an enjoyable,

00:30:17,682 --> 00:30:22,086
pleasant meal together.
Must really get Phyllis.

good sense not to rub it in her

her.

not to add to the tension.
538
00:30:30,762 --> 00:30:33,531
But you know what?
If I was one of her friends,
539
00:30:33,598 --> 00:30:36,401
I would encourage her
to just relax,
540
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:38,603
because even though
I've reentered her world,
541
00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:42,507
I'm not trying
to take anything from her.
542
00:30:42,574 --> 00:30:46,044

having her at Marchetti.

that Phyllis doesn't need

to worry about me
lessening her connection to him.

And you and Phyllis,
you have such a long history
548

and a deep bond
so that even though you think

00:31:05,763 --> 00:31:09,300
you're not going to reunite
with her, you've --

you've let her into your heart
time and time again.

>> Phyllis: Hey.
I didn't see you here.
566
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:09,527
How long have you been here?
>> Summer: Kyle and I got here
567
00:32:09,594 --> 00:32:12,363
before the two of you did.
And I've got to admit, I never
568
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:14,565
expected to look across the way
to find the two of you
569
00:32:14,632 --> 00:32:18,002
socializing.
Just curious, who was that woman
570
00:32:18,069 --> 00:32:19,037
you were talking to?
571
00:32:30,181 --> 00:32:33,051
>> Jack: I don't know where this
conversation took a left turn,
572
00:32:33,117 --> 00:32:35,219
but we're way off base.
>> Diane: Sorry. Sorry.
573
00:32:35,286 --> 00:32:37,221
I know you don't want to talk
about you and Phyllis.
574
00:32:37,288 --> 00:32:40,525
I was just saying that there's
enough love and family
575
00:32:40,591 --> 00:32:44,195
and friendship to go around.
And I hope that ultimately
576
00:32:44,262 --> 00:32:48,066
Phyllis realizes that I am not
going to get her portion
577
00:32:48,132 --> 00:32:50,601
and that she can find a way
to move forward,
578
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:54,505
because letting all this
jealousy and resentment control
579
00:32:54,572 --> 00:32:58,176
you, it's a terrible way
to go through life.
580
00:32:58,242 --> 00:33:01,713
I should know.

I don't know
582
00:33:03,081 --> 00:33:06,351
what to make of that reaction.
>> Jack: It's part relief, part
583
00:33:06,417 --> 00:33:12,056
surprise, part appreciation
for your candor and insight
584
00:33:12,123 --> 00:33:15,660
and perspective.
>> Diane: Wow.
585
00:33:15,727 --> 00:33:19,330
You really packed a lot
into that sigh.
586
00:33:19,397 --> 00:33:21,599
But don't worry,
I know that you didn't order
587
00:33:21,666 --> 00:33:25,703

Phyllis and I were meeting with
594
00:33:49,127 --> 00:33:53,531
a journalist who came to town
to write a story about Ashland.
595

Anyway, see you later.
Bye-bye.

So funny how a common enemy,
597
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:10,047
even dead, can bond two people.

what was going on.

really what's going on, Summer.

606
00:34:35,273 --> 00:34:38,576
that you'd be working there.
And I'm excited to spend
607
00:34:38,643 --> 00:34:42,079
more time with you now.
Now that I'll be spending less

Eventually, I hope Lilly won't
even have to intercede anymore.

If she can get Devon
to understand that we are

all on the same side,
there won't be any more battles
612
00:34:57,829 --> 00:35:00,598

00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:04,602
that all sounds great,
but...
