How so? >> Diane: Well, Kyle missed out 192 00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,735 on the first few years of Harrison's life. 193 00:11:09,802 --> 00:11:12,004 >> Jack: That was a very different situation. 194 00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:16,675 I -- I didn't mean that to sound like I was taking a shot at you, 195 00:11:16,742 --> 00:11:20,079 but we both have spent enough time and energy on past 196 00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:22,715 resentments. >> Diane: Yes. 197 00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:25,684 The last time we talked about the wounds from our past, 198 00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:29,288 you were a bit more antagonistic with me. 199 00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:33,926 Rightfully so. But, um, I kind of appreciate 200 00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:37,263 the kinder, gentler approach you're taking with me tonight. 201 00:11:37,329 --> 00:11:39,632 >> Jack: I still don't think we should sweep everything 202 00:11:39,698 --> 00:11:43,202 from the past under the rug. >> Diane: No, and I -- I don't 203 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:45,571 want to gloss over what happened. 204 00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:47,540 There are so many people in this town who won't 205 00:11:47,606 --> 00:11:51,944 let me forget any of it. But you seem to have found a way 206 00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:56,949 to rise above that pettiness. >> Jack: You've made a lot of 207 00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:59,118 claims about doing the same thing. 208 00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:03,789 Do you really think you can let go of past resentments? 209 00:12:03,856 --> 00:12:09,328 >> Diane: Uh, well, for years, I -- I held on to grudges. 210 00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:13,032 They fueled me. Jack, I can't believe how much 211 00:12:13,099 --> 00:12:16,769 my life has changed in a year. I mean, I still have regrets. 212 00:12:16,836 --> 00:12:23,442 And Kyle's pain tops the list. But here I am, having a life 213 00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:27,413 that I could have only dreamed of. 214 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,916 I'm rebuilding my relationship with my son, I'm getting to know 215 00:12:30,983 --> 00:12:35,187 my grandson. And I have an exciting, new job 216 00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:37,990 that allows me to buy you dinner once in a while. 217 00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:41,293 >> Jack: [ Chuckles ] >> Diane: It's unreal. 218 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,231 Almost as unreal as the two of us sitting here together. 219 00:12:45,297 --> 00:12:46,699 >> Jack: It's all pretty amazing. 220 00:12:46,765 --> 00:12:49,635 >> Diane: Yeah. >> Jack: But what do you really 221 00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:54,440 want? >> Billy: You're killing me with 222 00:12:54,507 --> 00:12:55,741 these questions. You know that? 223 00:12:55,808 --> 00:12:58,144 >> Chelsea: I'm just trying to get you to open up, give us 224 00:12:58,210 --> 00:13:01,814 some material for the podcast. >> Billy: Right. Okay. 225 00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:07,786 Well, to answer your question, no, I don't think I'm boring. 226 00:13:07,853 --> 00:13:10,022 >> Chelsea: [ Sighs ] But do you miss 227 00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:13,025 who you used to be? >> Billy: I'm uh -- 228 00:13:13,092 --> 00:13:15,694 I mean, I think everybody looks back on their past 229 00:13:15,761 --> 00:13:18,297 at a certain age and feels a little nostalgia 230 00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:21,834 for their youth. I will also say that 231 00:13:21,901 --> 00:13:26,238 that troublemaking side of me is embedded pretty deep in there. 232 00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:29,008 At least, that's what my family believes anyway. 233 00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:31,410 >> Chelsea: Who thinks that? >> Billy: Oh, everybody thinks 234 00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,345 that. I mean, my mom, my brother, 235 00:13:33,412 --> 00:13:36,182 they don't believe that I'll ever be able to grow up. 236 00:13:36,248 --> 00:13:38,217 I will always self-sabotage myself. 237 00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:41,420 And when my mom said that just a few weeks ago, we were talking 238 00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:43,689 about the podcast. She believes that's a gateway 239 00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:46,892 to the old destructive behavior. >> Chelsea: Oh, she's just being 240 00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:49,028 overprotective. Just pushing your buttons 241 00:13:49,094 --> 00:13:52,164 as only a mom can. >> Billy: Yeah, maybe so. 242 00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:55,034 >> Chelsea: Your mom's not here. She doesn't get to see you 243 00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,502 on a daily basis, so she doesn't recognize 244 00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:59,638 how much you've changed. Now, Lily -- Lily is the person 245 00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:03,542 whose opinion matters most. >> Billy: Yeah, I don't think -- 246 00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:06,045 Lily's opinion of me isn't much better. 247 00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:11,617 We had a little, uh, discussion, and it sounds like she wants me 248 00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:16,956 to quit the podcasts. >> Victor: If you want my 249 00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:19,525 opinion, I think it would be a mistake to tell Johnny about 250 00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:21,760 Chelsea. It would only confuse the boy. 251 00:14:21,827 --> 00:14:24,096 >> Nikki: Darling, you, of all people, should understand the 252 00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:27,967 importance of knowing where you came from, who your parents are. 253 00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:29,802 >> Victor: Sweetheart, there's a time for that. 254 00:14:29,868 --> 00:14:32,137 This is not it. >> Victoria: Also, Johnny is 255 00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:34,306 dealing with the loss of Ashland. 256 00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,141 I don't think it would be smart to pile all this 257 00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,811 on top of him right now. I know Ashland wasn't his 258 00:14:38,877 --> 00:14:41,947 stepfather for very long, but the children still feel 259 00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:43,515 the loss. >> Nikki: I agree with you about 260 00:14:43,582 --> 00:14:46,418 the timing, but I do think it would be best 261 00:14:46,485 --> 00:14:50,189 to tell him at some point. >> Nick: You're all still here. 262 00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:51,824 Good. >> Victoria: Is everything okay? 263 00:14:51,890 --> 00:14:54,593 >> Nikki: What's going on? >> Victor: Why are you so late? 264 00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:56,395 >> Nick: Chance is gonna be here any minute. 265 00:14:56,462 --> 00:15:00,366 [ Telephone rings ] >> Victor: Yes? 266 00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:02,568 Send him in. >> Nikki: [ Sighs ] 267 00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:04,737 >> Nick: Apparently, Chance has uncovered some new information 268 00:15:04,803 --> 00:15:07,006 and he's ready to move forward. >> Victoria: What 269 00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:09,041 does that mean? >> Nick: I don't know, but I 270 00:15:09,108 --> 00:15:11,110 didn't like the sound of it, so I convinced him 271 00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:13,379 to come out here and talk to us. >> Victor: This going to be 272 00:15:13,445 --> 00:15:16,949 a courtesy call, or is he bringing handcuffs? 273 00:15:17,016 --> 00:15:19,418 >> Nick: I don't know, Dad. >> Victor: What was his 274 00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:20,986 demeanor? >> Nick: Somber. 275 00:15:21,053 --> 00:15:23,622 He seemed weighted down, but he didn't hesitate when 276 00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:26,258 I invited him to come out here and speak to us. 277 00:15:26,325 --> 00:15:30,496 Maybe that's a good sign. [ Footsteps approaching ] 278 00:15:30,562 --> 00:15:32,831 >> Chance: Hello, everyone. >> Victor: Hello, Chance. 279 00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:34,466 >> Chance: Thank you for meeting with me. 280 00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:37,970 I think this will be helpful. >> Victor: Oh, yeah? 281 00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:41,140 Helpful to you or to us? >> Chance: For the process, 282 00:15:41,206 --> 00:15:44,310 Victor. Now, I really just need to speak 283 00:15:44,376 --> 00:15:45,944 with the people directly involved. 284 00:15:46,011 --> 00:15:47,913 >> Nikki: Oh. Does that mean 285 00:15:47,980 --> 00:15:50,416 I'm supposed to leave the room? >> Victor: No, you're not 286 00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:53,519 supposed to leave the room. You can say whatever you want to 287 00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:56,188 say in front of Nikki, okay? >> Chance: Okay. That's fine. 288 00:15:56,255 --> 00:15:59,058 >> Victoria: It's late. Can we begin this conversation? 289 00:15:59,124 --> 00:16:01,260 >> Chance: Sure. But Nick may have misled you 290 00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:06,131 about why I'm here. This is not a conversation. 291 00:16:06,198 --> 00:16:09,201 I just need all of you to please listen to what I have to say. 292 00:16:20,346 --> 00:16:21,780 >> Chance: Here's what I have so far. 293 00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:24,550 A witness spotted Ashland's vehicle at a gas station 294 00:16:24,616 --> 00:16:27,753 near Victoria's property. There was security footage 295 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:31,457 of someone driving that vehicle away from that gas station right 296 00:16:31,523 --> 00:16:34,760 after you called me that night. Now, the image is not clear, 297 00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,529 but we have determined that it is not Ashland. 298 00:16:37,596 --> 00:16:41,300 >> Nikki: SO, he had an accomplice or he hired a driver. 299 00:16:41,367 --> 00:16:43,102 >> Chance: Let me finish, please. 300 00:16:43,168 --> 00:16:45,337 Thank you. Now, while it does not look like 301 00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:48,107 Ashland, he does bear a resemblance to one of Victor's 302 00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:51,210 security guards -- one of the men assigned to Victoria's house 303 00:16:51,276 --> 00:16:52,778 that night. >> Victor: He could resemble 304 00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,646 a million people. >> Chance: He might. 305 00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:57,116 But he smokes. A cigarette butt was found where 306 00:16:57,182 --> 00:17:00,219 Ashland's car was parked at the gas station -- his brand. 307 00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:03,856 Now, the security footage from the gas station has gaps, 308 00:17:03,922 --> 00:17:05,557 including where Ashland would have got there 309 00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:08,894 and when he would have left. We also have Ashland's ring, 310 00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:11,363 which was found on the floor at Victoria's house, 311 00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:14,500 and it is very unlikely that that ring fell out of his pocket 312 00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:16,468 when he was walking out of the house, 313 00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:18,971 but more probable that it fell out of his pocket 314 00:17:19,037 --> 00:17:23,175 when he was being carried or dragged out of the house. 315 00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:26,578 >> Victor: It's all suppositions -- cigarette butt, 316 00:17:26,645 --> 00:17:28,547 apiece of jewelry. Come on. 317 00:17:28,614 --> 00:17:31,350 >> Chance: There's more. The latest piece of evidence 318 00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:35,988 is a bloody fingerprint found on the door handle of the car. 319 00:17:36,054 --> 00:17:39,992 And the blood is Ashland's. The print is not. 320 00:17:40,058 --> 00:17:43,829 So, no, this is no longer a supposition. 321 00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:47,533 And once I compare that print to your security guards, I'm 322 00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:51,303 pretty sure I'll have a match. >> Victor: It won't stand up 323 00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:53,172 in court. >> Chance: Indictments have been 324 00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:54,873 made with less. >> Victor: I tell you, 325 00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,910 you've got nothing. Right? 326 00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:03,315 >> Chelsea: I can't believe Lily wants you to walk away from 327 00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:04,516 the podcast. >> Billy: Let's not get ahead 328 00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:06,185 of ourselves. She didn't outright say that. 329 00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:08,787 I'm just saying, it seems like she would be happy 330 00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:12,057 if I either walked away from being the COO or the podcast, 331 00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:14,059 but she doesn't think I should be able to do both. 332 00:18:14,126 --> 00:18:16,395 >> Chelsea: That's not true. >> Billy: Well, she feels like 333 00:18:16,462 --> 00:18:19,131 I'm spending too much time focusing on the podcast, and I 334 00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:22,534 know what other people aren't saying -- that I'm using it as a 335 00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:25,037 way to avoid my responsibility at Chancellor-Winters. 336 00:18:25,103 --> 00:18:27,439 >> Chelsea: Well, I disagree. The podcasts are a perfect fit 337 00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:30,008 for you. No offense, 338 00:18:30,075 --> 00:18:32,578 but I said it before. You're not a corporate guy. 339 00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:34,780 >> Billy: None taken. >> Chelsea: You're a sensible 340 00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:36,882 risk-taker like me. You know, you take chances on 341 00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:39,351 love and life and the world. >> Billy: I hear you. 342 00:18:39,418 --> 00:18:41,553 But I will say, Lily's got a pretty sharp insight, 343 00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:45,624 and I trust her. She has not steered me wrong 344 00:18:45,691 --> 00:18:49,661 yet, so maybe she's right. Maybe I should leave my position 345 00:18:49,728 --> 00:18:51,463 as COO. >> Chelsea: Well, that's the 346 00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:53,665 most sensible thing you've said all day. 347 00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:55,868 It's like you always go back to the C-suite because you think 348 00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:58,770 it's what you're supposed to do, but you always end up leaving 349 00:18:58,837 --> 00:19:04,309 for your real passion. Podcast Billy is the real Billy. 350 00:19:04,376 --> 00:19:06,545 The Grinning Soul is the real Billy. 351 00:19:06,612 --> 00:19:08,247 >> Billy: No, that's -- that's not me. 352 00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:10,282 >> Chelsea: Stop denying it. I figured it out 353 00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:13,418 a long time ago. I know you better than you 354 00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:18,924 realize. >> Diane: What do I want? 355 00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:25,931 What does anyone want? Um, health and happiness... 356 00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:30,168 peace. Beyond that, to be a productive 357 00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:34,306 member of society and -- and to be a welcome part of my son and 358 00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:36,241 my grandson's lives. >> Jack: Wow. 359 00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:39,344 This is a letter-perfect answer. Sounds like you're competing in 360 00:19:39,411 --> 00:19:40,913 a pageant. >> Diane: [ Laughs ] 361 00:19:40,979 --> 00:19:43,615 Well, do you have a tiara and a sash for me? 362 00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:46,518 Is that why you're asking me these questions? 363 00:19:46,585 --> 00:19:48,253 >> Jack: I don't know. I was maybe hoping for some 364 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,057 honesty that maybe you could dig deep and tell me what's really 365 00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:55,661 going on, since obviously we're in a different place 366 00:19:55,727 --> 00:19:59,698 than we were a few months ago, even a few weeks ago. 367 00:19:59,765 --> 00:20:02,234 >> Diane: We are. There's no longer 368 00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:06,738 a wall of animosity between us. >> Jack: And that's a good 369 00:20:06,805 --> 00:20:08,707 thing, right? >> Diane: Yes, it is. 370 00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:12,444 >> Jack: [ Chuckles ] >> Diane: Where exactly are you 371 00:20:12,511 --> 00:20:17,249 going with these questions, Jack? 372 00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:21,286 >> I want to know what you're thinking. 373 00:20:21,353 --> 00:20:26,325 Where do you think this is going? 374 00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:29,161 >> Victor: Well, I think we'll sort this all out. 375 00:20:29,227 --> 00:20:31,863 >> Nick: [ Sighs ] >> I can't go on like this. 376 00:20:31,930 --> 00:20:34,633 Alright, we are living -- >> Chance: Nick, I advise you to 377 00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,436 say nothing more without a lawyer present. 378 00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:40,172 >> Victor: Chance, let me ask you something. 379 00:20:40,238 --> 00:20:43,175 What are you doing here? You're a member of this family. 380 00:20:43,241 --> 00:20:45,711 You're my son-in-law. You understand the complexity 381 00:20:45,777 --> 00:20:50,115 of this case as it pertains to all of us. 382 00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:55,454 So...have you forgotten that you're a member of this family? 383 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,957 >> Chance: Like I said, this is not a conversation. 384 00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:01,893 So I would appreciate it if all of you would just listen. 385 00:21:14,506 --> 00:21:15,507 >> "The Young and the Restless" will continue. 386 00:21:35,761 --> 00:21:38,330 >> Chance: So, there are two scenarios here. 387 00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:42,234 Both involve a belligerent and unstable Ashland Locke showing 388 00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:44,836 up at Victoria's. He's invited in. 389 00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:47,839 He makes threats. Nick arrives, coming to his 390 00:21:47,906 --> 00:21:51,076 sister's aid. In self-defense, Nick punches 391 00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:52,577 Locke, and he falls and hits his head. 392 00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:56,048 Now, scenario number one. He's injured, 393 00:21:56,114 --> 00:21:59,117 but he's still alive. These two step outside 394 00:21:59,184 --> 00:22:01,286 for a brief moment. During that time, 395 00:22:01,353 --> 00:22:04,222 Ashland gets up, he stumbles to his car, 396 00:22:04,289 --> 00:22:06,758 and he drives off. And at some point, 397 00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:09,795 he loses control of the vehicle and he ends up in that ravine, 398 00:22:09,861 --> 00:22:12,597 killing himself in the crash. >> Victor: Mm-hmm. Go on. 399 00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:14,466 >> Chance: Now, scenario number two. 400 00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:18,103 Nick's altercation with Locke, in defense of Victoria, 401 00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:21,106 inadvertently caused the fall that killed Locke. 402 00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:24,676 Now, Nick did not intend for him to die, but it happened. 403 00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:28,580 And after Victoria did the responsible thing and contacted 404 00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:33,485 me, the two stepped outside. Then, without their knowledge, 405 00:22:33,552 --> 00:22:36,955 Victor's men removed the body. They placed it 406 00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,257 in the rental car. They staged the accident 407 00:22:39,324 --> 00:22:41,893 to make it look like that was how he died. 408 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,364 And all of that would absolve Nick of responsibility for the 409 00:22:46,431 --> 00:22:48,734 death. Now, there is evidence 410 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,038 substantiating this version. >> Victor: It is circumstantial. 411 00:22:53,105 --> 00:22:56,975 >> Chance: Now, there are holes in this case, and I think it may 412 00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:02,314 be what Nick says he cannot live with any longer -- a lie. 413 00:23:02,380 --> 00:23:04,349 >> Victoria: He never said "lie." 414 00:23:04,416 --> 00:23:06,318 >> Chance: I know. >> Victor: So, Chance, tell us, 415 00:23:06,384 --> 00:23:15,961 which scenario will you pursue? >> Chance: [ Sighs ] 416 00:23:16,027 --> 00:23:20,232 >> Billy: Yes. I am the Grinning Soul. 417 00:23:20,298 --> 00:23:24,469 Now, question -- did you know it was me when you were singing 418 00:23:24,536 --> 00:23:26,571 his praises earlier? >> Chelsea: Yep. 419 00:23:26,638 --> 00:23:28,940 You didn't realize that? >> Billy: No, I didn't. 420 00:23:29,007 --> 00:23:30,776 >> Chelsea: Not even when I said you respect for the 421 00:23:30,842 --> 00:23:32,644 Grinning Soul probably went both ways? 422 00:23:32,711 --> 00:23:34,412 >> Billy: I thought you were being supportive. 423 00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:36,381 >> Chelsea: I was, but I was also trying to get you 424 00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:38,583 to admit it. Don't worry, I don't think 425 00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:41,186 anybody else knows. Your secret is safe. 426 00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:44,790 >> Billy: Good. Is that what you meant when you 427 00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:48,627 said that that is the real me and that I'm not some dude in 428 00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:52,164 a suit sitting in an office looking over budgets? 429 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:56,468 >> Chelsea: Was I wrong? I just think you're happier 430 00:23:56,535 --> 00:23:58,870 talking into a microphone about whatever you want to talk about 431 00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:02,040 than sitting in a C-suite. And frankly, I think 432 00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,409 secretly you're hoping Lily gives you an ultimatum 433 00:24:04,476 --> 00:24:07,245 and you have to decide between executive and podcaster. 434 00:24:07,312 --> 00:24:09,714 >> Billy: I don't know. But I do hope 435 00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:12,517 I can make a decision without Lily having to force my hand. 436 00:24:12,584 --> 00:24:17,389 >> Chelsea: Guess we'll just have to wait and see. 437 00:24:17,455 --> 00:24:20,292 >> Diane: What exactly are you asking? 438 00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:23,695 You can be talking about so many things. 439 00:24:23,762 --> 00:24:26,097 >> Jack: Okay, so let me clarify. 440 00:24:26,164 --> 00:24:30,569 Us -- you and me. What are you hoping for from 441 00:24:30,635 --> 00:24:33,672 this tenuous relationship? >> Diane: Wow, you're not 442 00:24:33,738 --> 00:24:36,208 messing around tonight. You want answers, 443 00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:39,945 and you want them now. >> Jack: At this stage, after 444 00:24:40,011 --> 00:24:45,016 everything we've been through. Who has time to mess around? 445 00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:48,553 >> Diane: There's a lot of truth in that. 446 00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:53,758 So, if you're asking if my feelings for you 447 00:24:53,825 --> 00:24:58,463 go beyond friendship, they do. 448 00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:02,434 You know me too well for me to deny it. 449 00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:05,770 [ Chuckles ] When our hands touched before, 450 00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:10,242 I -- I got butterflies in my stomach. 451 00:25:10,308 --> 00:25:15,146 I felt like a schoolgirl. [ Chuckles ] 452 00:25:15,213 --> 00:25:19,017 And as conniving as I was in the past, I was never 453 00:25:19,084 --> 00:25:23,855 able to hide my emotions. Jack, that bet I made with 454 00:25:23,922 --> 00:25:29,160 myself about earning your friendship was absolutely true. 455 00:25:29,227 --> 00:25:34,332 There's a part of me that wants more. 456 00:25:34,399 --> 00:25:37,068 And if I'm being completely honest, 457 00:25:37,135 --> 00:25:43,408 those feelings are both thrilling and terrifying. 458 00:25:43,475 --> 00:25:46,311 [ Sighs ] >> Jack: Terrifying? 459 00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:48,780 I didn't realize it was that scary. 460 00:25:48,847 --> 00:25:50,382 >> Diane: No, it's not you. It's me. 461 00:25:50,448 --> 00:25:55,553 It's -- It's, my heart has been shut down for so long, I -- 462 00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:59,090 I didn't feel like I deserved affection, and I didn't want it, 463 00:25:59,157 --> 00:26:01,426 because then it would make me feel even guiltier 464 00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:06,097 about everything I had done. But being back here, 465 00:26:06,164 --> 00:26:12,437 my heart is opening up, and it feels so good 466 00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:18,910 to be alive in that way again. But I know, in the end, 467 00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:22,814 there's going to be some pain. >> Jack: Why do you say that? 468 00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:27,185 >> Diane: [ Sighs ] Because no matter how deep 469 00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:32,624 my feelings for you become, I know that you will never feel 470 00:26:32,691 --> 00:26:36,461 the same way about me. >> Jack: I don't -- 471 00:26:36,528 --> 00:26:40,799 >> Diane: You know, I wanted to delay this conversation forever, 472 00:26:40,865 --> 00:26:44,402 if possible, so I could -- so I could just pretend 473 00:26:44,469 --> 00:26:46,604 for a while longer that there was still hope. 474 00:26:46,671 --> 00:26:52,410 I just... I didn't want this daydream 475 00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:55,714 to end. >> Jack: Well, maybe it doesn't 476 00:26:55,780 --> 00:27:00,819 have to. I will admit that I didn't see 477 00:27:00,885 --> 00:27:04,322 this coming either. But it must be clear to you, 478 00:27:04,389 --> 00:27:14,065 I -- I, too, have some feelings. >> Diane: [ Gasps ] 479 00:27:16,735 --> 00:27:19,270 >> Jack: Diane.

I just -- I think that drink 484 00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:41,960 went straight to my head. I just didn't have enough 485 00:27:42,027 --> 00:27:47,065 to eat today. >> Jack: So, did you hear 486 00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:51,169 what I asked? >> Diane: Um, you wanted to know 487 00:27:51,236 --> 00:27:55,473 where I thought this was going? >> Jack: Yeah, you're someone 488 00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:59,944 who plans, makes goals. Now that you're settled again 489 00:28:00,011 --> 00:28:04,716 in Genoa City, I think it would be nice to make those again. 490 00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:08,019 >> Diane: Well, you're right. It's -- It's a good idea. 491 00:28:08,086 --> 00:28:10,722 [ Chuckles ] I just didn't think 492 00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:13,892 that I would be having this conversation with you. 493 00:28:13,958 --> 00:28:17,962 >> Jack: I'm a little surprised myself. 494 00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:22,167 >> Diane: So, what exactly do you mean by "plans"? 495 00:28:22,233 --> 00:28:25,136 >> Jack: Well, I mean, you can't live in the Athletic Club 496 00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:27,906 forever, now that you have a job, now that Kyle has let you 497 00:28:27,972 --> 00:28:30,041 back into his life. I mean, 498 00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:38,817 what is next for Diane Jenkins? >> Diane: Oh, well, I, um -- I 499 00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:42,220 haven't given much thought to my living arrangements. 500 00:28:42,287 --> 00:28:45,356 Believe it or not, I'm taking a come-what-may 501 00:28:45,423 --> 00:28:48,693 approach to life. I find, if you plan too much 502 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:55,100 for the future, then you don't have a chance to dream. 503 00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:59,537 >> Chance: What's important here is that in both scenarios, 504 00:28:59,604 --> 00:29:02,440 Ashland Locke's death was an accident, and no one meant 505 00:29:02,507 --> 00:29:05,643 for that man to die. And I believe that 100%. 506 00:29:05,710 --> 00:29:08,179 Nick was protecting his sister. He had no intention 507 00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:11,015 of taking a life. So, moving forward, 508 00:29:11,082 --> 00:29:14,018 we can all agree on that. >> Victor: Yes, we can. 509 00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:16,688 >> Chance: Now, context is also important. 510 00:29:16,754 --> 00:29:20,058 This man has put your family through hell -- a man who lied 511 00:29:20,125 --> 00:29:24,662 about a fatal disease, solely for personal gain. 512 00:29:24,729 --> 00:29:27,899 I mean, a man like that, you just -- you just don't know 513 00:29:27,966 --> 00:29:31,903 what he's capable of, how far he would go for revenge. 514 00:29:31,970 --> 00:29:34,739 So, with all that in mind, a despicable human being 515 00:29:34,806 --> 00:29:40,044 is dead. Sad, yes. 516 00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:44,983 But not necessarily a crime. Now, I think, given more time 517 00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:48,386 and more resources, I certainly could find 518 00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,356 a conspiracy that covers up the real cause of 519 00:29:51,422 --> 00:29:54,526 Ashland Locke's death. But what would be the point? 520 00:29:54,592 --> 00:29:57,662 I don't see any reason for anyone to stand trial 521 00:29:57,729 --> 00:30:00,598 for the death of a man who was not murdered. 522 00:30:00,665 --> 00:30:02,901 He's put your family through enough trauma. 523 00:30:02,967 --> 00:30:06,204 >> Nikki: So, what are you saying? 524 00:30:06,271 --> 00:30:10,008 >> Chance: I will present the first scenario 525 00:30:10,074 --> 00:30:13,912 as my official version -- that he was still alive, 526 00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:17,148 he made it to his car on his own, and he crashed. 527 00:30:17,215 --> 00:30:21,819 Terrible man died a terrible death, and no one will be 528 00:30:21,886 --> 00:30:27,025 punished for it. >> Billy: Alright, 529 00:30:27,091 --> 00:30:28,793 it's getting a little late.

I don't mean to be pushy -- 535 00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:45,910 or more pushy than usual -- but did Victoria mention that 536 00:30:45,977 --> 00:30:48,479 I went to see her and I asked her about Johnny? 537 00:30:48,546 --> 00:30:50,715 >> Billy: She did, yeah. >> Chelsea: Well, she told me 538 00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:52,317 she would consider telling Johnny that I'm his 539 00:30:52,383 --> 00:30:55,486 birth mother, but I can tell by the look 540 00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:58,189 on your face, she's not on board, is she? 541 00:30:58,256 --> 00:31:00,858 >> Billy: Just not good timing. >> Chelsea: Yeah, I understand 542 00:31:00,925 --> 00:31:03,061 that, but the thing is, I'm kind of in a position now where 543 00:31:03,127 --> 00:31:05,863 I feel like I'm lying to Connor. I'm withholding information 544 00:31:05,930 --> 00:31:08,833 from him. He's at an age where he can 545 00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,269 understand what's going on. And I feel like the longer 546 00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:13,538 I wait, the more he's gonna resent me for not telling him 547 00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:15,139 earlier. And honestly, I think it could 548 00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:18,243 help Johnny cope with Ashland's death, finding out that he has a 549 00:31:18,309 --> 00:31:20,211 brother.
