1
00:00:02,535 --> 00:00:04,070
>> Sharon: Snacks?
>> Faith: Check.
2
00:00:04,137 --> 00:00:05,872
>> Nick: Grandparents?
>> Faith: Check.
3
00:00:05,939 --> 00:00:07,574
>> Nick: Directions?
>> Faith: Check.
4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,876
>> Sharon: Oh! Hair dryer?
>> Faith: Check.
5
00:00:09,943 --> 00:00:15,982
>> Adam: What's going on here?
Okay, what kind of covert
6
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:18,985
operation did I walk in on?
>> Faith: Big news, Adam.
7
00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:22,088
Your kidney's going to college
today.
8
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:22,856
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
9
00:00:26,292 --> 00:00:27,360
>> Nikki: Can you believe our
10
00:00:27,427 --> 00:00:30,330
granddaughter is already heading
off to college?
11
00:00:30,397 --> 00:00:33,466
>> Victor: I'm so impressed with
her.
12
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,101
And what a beautiful girl,
you know?
13
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:37,704
She is -- She is really
something.
14
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:39,272
I think she will be very
successful.
15
00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:43,176
>> Nikki: I assume you'll be
continuing your chess games
16
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:45,678
long distance?
>> Victor: Ooh, I already have
17
00:00:45,745 --> 00:00:49,949
made the first move via an app.
>> Nikki: Yes, of course you
18
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:51,217
have.
>> Victor: Yeah.
19
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:55,755
By the way, talking about moves,
someone told me they saw you in
20
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:58,458
town talking to a journalist
from California.
21
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:00,527
Talia Morgan?
>> Nikki: [ Sighs ]
22
00:01:00,593 --> 00:01:02,896
Does anything happen in this
town that you don't hear about?
23
00:01:02,962 --> 00:01:04,931
>> Victor: Sweetheart, have you
ever known anything to slip by
24
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,467
me?
>> Nikki: Well, truth be told,
25
00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:12,071
Talia initially came to town to
write about the impact of
26
00:01:12,138 --> 00:01:15,975
Ashland's death on our family.
>> Victor: Hmm.
27
00:01:16,042 --> 00:01:18,845
Sorry to hear that.
>> Nikki: But with a little help
28
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:23,183
from me, she quickly realized
that the more compelling story
29
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:28,321
is Diane's return from the dead.
And I was more than happy to
30
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:32,492
provide as much dirt as possible
for what I hope will be a
31
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:35,328
beautiful hatchet job.
>> Victor: [ Chuckles ]
32
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:37,063
I bet you were.

>> Phyllis: I cannot believe how
much fun I'm having working with
38
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:17,604
you.
>> Summer: It has been pretty
39
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:19,472
great.
I am so excited for your ideas
40
00:02:19,539 --> 00:02:23,142
for Marchetti's new home line.
>> Phyllis: Mm, so am I.
41
00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:26,412
>> Summer: You know, there's
just one thing that's still kind
42
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,282
of distracting me.
It's -- It's that article that
43
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:33,086
Talia Morgan was writing about
Ashland.
44
00:02:33,152 --> 00:02:35,855
>> Phyllis: Um, you -- Right.
What about it?
45
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:38,291
>> Summer: Well, I've been on
the lookout for it, you know, in
46
00:02:38,358 --> 00:02:41,194
case it takes a negative spin or
twists any of the facts.
47
00:02:41,261 --> 00:02:43,363
I want to stay on top of
anything that could be
48
00:02:43,429 --> 00:02:45,164
detrimental to Harrison in the
future.
49
00:02:45,231 --> 00:02:46,833
>> Phyllis: Oh, of course.
Of course.
50
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,236
I mean, Talia -- she's an
investigative journalist.
51
00:02:50,303 --> 00:02:52,105
I mean, she only writes about
the truth.
52
00:02:52,171 --> 00:02:56,175
She's not gonna do anything to
an innocent little boy.
53
00:02:56,242 --> 00:02:58,511
>> Summer: You're probably
right, but...
54
00:02:58,578 --> 00:03:00,647
I don't know.
I'm still just curious.
55
00:03:00,713 --> 00:03:03,383
Like, what else is there to say
about the guy?
56
00:03:03,449 --> 00:03:05,518
Just feels like old news by now,
right?
57
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:07,487
And the article hasn't even come
out yet.
58
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:11,991
Not that I've seen, at least.
I mean, where is it?
59
00:03:12,058 --> 00:03:17,363
>> Phyllis: She's probably
trying to, you know, get other
60
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:25,939
sources, um, confirm the
information she has garnered.
61
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:29,275
Wait a second.
You still don't trust me, do
62
00:03:29,342 --> 00:03:30,109
you?
63
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:36,015
>> Jack: These Marchetti
projections look very strong.
64
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:38,685
You're doing a great job, son,
setting the company up for
65
00:03:38,751 --> 00:03:40,853
future success.
>> Kyle: As much as I'd like to
66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,855
take the credit, Summer is the
driving force.
67
00:03:42,922 --> 00:03:44,824
I take my lead from her creative
decisions.
68
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:46,793
She makes it easy.
>> Jack: Always good to have
69
00:03:46,859 --> 00:03:51,598
someone you can count on.
Which reminds me, I need to tell
70
00:03:51,664 --> 00:03:53,566
you something and I'm not sure
you're gonna be happy to
71
00:03:53,633 --> 00:03:54,100
hear it.
72
00:04:01,774 --> 00:04:03,543
>> Nikki: I have got high hopes
73
00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:07,113
for Talia's story.
>> Victor: Now, what exactly do
74
00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:08,681
you intend to accomplish with
it?
75
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:13,186
>> Nikki: Well, I'm hoping that
the sheer humiliation of seeing
76
00:04:13,252 --> 00:04:16,356
her crimes in print will be
enough to drive her out of town,
77
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:19,726
this time for good.
>> Victor: Yeah. Hmm.
78
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:21,995
>> Nikki: What? You disapprove?
>> Victor: No, no, no, no.
79
00:04:22,061 --> 00:04:25,031
I think Diane Jenkins needs to
be dealt with.
80
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,066
I agree.
>> Nikki: [ Sighs ]
81
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,502
I'm glad.
>> Victor: But I want you to
82
00:04:29,569 --> 00:04:34,140
move with caution, okay?
Remember -- Diane Jenkins is
83
00:04:34,207 --> 00:04:37,343
Kyle's mother and Summer's
mother-in-law.
84
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:40,113
I don't want anything to
negatively impact that young
85
00:04:40,179 --> 00:04:42,448
family.
Beyond that, anything you can do
86
00:04:42,515 --> 00:04:46,653
to blow Diane Jenkins out of the
water is alright with me, okay?
87
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:51,391
>> Summer: I'm sorry.
I can't deny it.
88
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:54,694
I am a little bit suspicious.
I can't help it, Mom.
89
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:57,163
It just seems like there's
something off with this whole
90
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:58,498
thing.
>> Phyllis: What?!
91
00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:00,566
Why?
I'm on my best behavior with
92
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:02,735
Diane.
>> Summer: I know, and to be
93
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:05,438
honest, the longer that goes on,
the more worried I get.
94
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:08,374
It doesn't even seem like it's
hard for you to stay calm,
95
00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:11,544
which leads me to suspect that
there's something else going on
96
00:05:11,611 --> 00:05:14,147
underneath your polite veneer.
>> Phyllis: Summer, I'm doing
97
00:05:14,213 --> 00:05:18,084
what you wanted me to do.
I'm being nice to the woman.
98
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:22,121
I mean, I don't have to go and
hang out with her at happy hour.
99
00:05:22,188 --> 00:05:25,692
I'm just biting my tongue.
It's hard, after everything that
100
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:30,496
she's done to me, but I'm doing
it for you, okay?
101
00:05:30,563 --> 00:05:32,065
I'm just putting on the fake
smile.
102
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:34,701
See?
It's, like, a piece of cake.
103
00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:37,704
>> Summer: Mom, I've seen your
fake smile, and this is not it.
104
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:41,541
I just --
You know what?
105
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:44,410
Never mind.
Kyle and I made a pact that we
106
00:05:44,477 --> 00:05:47,513
would stop babysitting our
mothers and just trust you two
107
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:50,750
to not destroy each other.
>> Phyllis: That's a good idea.
108
00:05:50,817 --> 00:05:53,553
Stick to that.
>> Summer: Don't get me wrong,
109
00:05:53,619 --> 00:05:55,655
Mom.
I'm the one that convinced Jack
110
00:05:55,722 --> 00:05:59,058
to invest in Marchetti, and I'm
going to do everything in my
111
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:00,693
power to protect its integrity.
112
00:06:03,396 --> 00:06:05,131
>> Jack: When I implied I
wouldn't be replacing you as
113
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:08,267
co-CEO, I was letting you off
the hook.
114
00:06:08,334 --> 00:06:10,169
>> Kyle: Why would you do that?
>> Jack: Because I didn't want
115
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:12,705
to make you feel guilty about
leaving Jabot because I thought
116
00:06:12,772 --> 00:06:14,941
this move to Marchetti was a
great move for you.
117
00:06:15,007 --> 00:06:16,642
>> Kyle: Yeah, well, I
appreciate you making the
118
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:19,679
transition easy for me, and
this opportunity to work with
119
00:06:19,746 --> 00:06:24,150
Summer is really a great fit.
And I guess I'm okay with you
120
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:29,188
filling the position as long as
Adam's not my replacement.
121
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:33,259
No. No, Dad, don't say it.
>> Jack: Adam changed his mind.
122
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:36,896
Look, I honestly believe he is
going to be a great addition to
123
00:06:36,963 --> 00:06:39,332
the Jabot family.
Besides, it will give
124
00:06:39,398 --> 00:06:40,833
Grandpa Jack more time with
Harrison.
125
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,603
>> Kyle: Hey, hey, I'm all for
more Grandpa time, but giving
126
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:45,505
Adam any power here -- that's a
recipe for disaster.
127
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:47,807
>> Jack: I understand your
reservations.
128
00:06:47,874 --> 00:06:51,277
Adam is looking for a fresh
start, and I honestly think he's
129
00:06:51,344 --> 00:06:53,579
put his worst behind him.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I still find that
130
00:06:53,646 --> 00:06:57,416
extremely hard to believe.
But I've walked away from the
131
00:06:57,483 --> 00:07:00,753
co-CEO position, so it's your
decision.
132
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:02,789
Still, I'm keeping my eye on
him.
133
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:06,425
>> Jack: I would expect nothing
less, but do me a favor.
134
00:07:06,492 --> 00:07:10,763
Please try to stay optimistic.
>> Kyle: [ Scoffs ]
135
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:13,566
I guess I'll have to try 'cause
I have so many happy things
136
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:17,970
going on in my life.
In fact, I'm planning a bit of a
137
00:07:18,037 --> 00:07:20,807
surprise, and I'd like to enlist
your help.
138
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:22,742
>> Jack: Okay.
Sounds intriguing.
139
00:07:22,809 --> 00:07:27,113
What's the plan?
>> Kyle: Mm, a wedding of sorts.
140
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:32,385
>> Jack: A wedding? For whom?
>> Sharon: Faith is headed to
141
00:07:32,451 --> 00:07:34,821
the University of Michigan
today.
142
00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:38,224
>> Adam: Wow.
Well, congratulations, Faith.
143
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:40,927
>> Nick: Yeah, we're gonna drop
her off and help her get settled
144
00:07:40,993 --> 00:07:42,895
in.
>> Faith: I guess I should
145
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,964
clarify.
I'm taking your kidney back to
146
00:07:45,031 --> 00:07:49,836
once with you.
But it's my big freshman year,
147
00:07:49,902 --> 00:07:52,939
and if it hadn't been for your
donation, I wouldn't be able to
148
00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:54,974
go.
You made this day possible for
149
00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:57,343
me, and I want to thank you
again.
150
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,512
>> Nick: We all do.
>> Sharon: Yes, I hope you know
151
00:07:59,579 --> 00:08:02,882
we'll be forever grateful.
>> Adam: Well, I'm sure my
152
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:05,484
kidney will have a much better
time with Faith anyway.
153
00:08:05,551 --> 00:08:09,055
So, I wish you a lot of luck and
success on your new adventure.
154
00:08:09,121 --> 00:08:11,791
>> Faith: Thanks.
>> Adam: Could I, uh, get a cup
155
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:14,293
of coffee?
>> Sharon: Sure.
156
00:08:19,265 --> 00:08:22,969
>> Adam: Sharon, this is a big
day for you.
157
00:08:23,035 --> 00:08:28,107
>> Sharon: Yeah. It is.
Um, it's an even bigger day for
158
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:31,444
Faith, though, and I'm so
excited for her starting out
159
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:34,981
this new chapter of her life.
>> Adam: Well, I guess, uh,
160
00:08:35,047 --> 00:08:38,484
Faith and I have something more
than a kidney in common then.
161
00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:42,054
>> Sharon: What's that?
>> Adam: I am starting a new
162
00:08:42,121 --> 00:08:44,957
chapter, too.
I'm going to work with Jack
163
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:47,960
at Jabot.
>> Sharon: When did that happen?
164
00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:50,796
>> Adam: Yesterday.
But Jack and I have been
165
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:54,967
discussing it for a while.
>> Sharon: I see.
166
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:57,503
>> Adam: I get the feeling
you're not, uh, entirely on
167
00:08:57,570 --> 00:09:00,940
board with this?
>> Sharon: Well, it's not my
168
00:09:01,007 --> 00:09:04,944
decision to make.
I wish you well.
169
00:09:05,011 --> 00:09:10,082
I just hope that you didn't make
this move so that you can stick
170
00:09:10,149 --> 00:09:13,486
it to Victor.
>> Adam: No.
171
00:09:13,552 --> 00:09:17,657
I made it because Jack actually
values my input and respects my
172
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:21,193
abilities as an executive.
And I value his trust.
173
00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:25,131
So, my dad is a non-issue,
as he should be.
174
00:09:25,197 --> 00:09:27,400
>> Sharon: Well, that's great.
I'm glad to hear that.
175
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:32,371
I'm glad you're not channeling
your anger into getting back at
176
00:09:32,438 --> 00:09:33,739
Victor.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
177
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:36,275
>> Sharon: And instead, you've
found something positive to
178
00:09:36,342 --> 00:09:39,178
focus on.
That's really great.
179
00:09:39,245 --> 00:09:40,813
I'm sure Sally will be happy,
too.
180
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,318
>> Adam: Sally? Wh--
Why did you mention her?
181
00:09:45,384 --> 00:09:48,321
>> Sharon: Oh, she confided in
me again, and she's worried
182
00:09:48,387 --> 00:09:50,323
about you.
>> Adam: She spoke to you again?
183
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:53,659
Are these chats between the two
of you becoming a regular thing?
184
00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:56,295
>> Sharon: Oh, I...
I mean, what does it even
185
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:58,564
matter, right?
You're not interested in being
186
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:00,566
with her anymore, so I don't
even know what difference it
187
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:01,167
makes.
188
00:10:22,088 --> 00:10:26,258
>> Phyllis: Oh, thank goodness.
No more babysitters. Yay!
189
00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:28,361
>> Summer: You know, this isn't
a get out of jail free card,
190
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:30,129
Mom.
>> Phyllis: Yeah. Thank you.
191
00:10:30,196 --> 00:10:31,097
>> Summer: Oh --
>> Phyllis: No.
192
00:10:31,163 --> 00:10:33,432
>> Summer: No. Mnh.
Me.
193
00:10:33,499 --> 00:10:36,435
>> Phyllis: You don't have to
worry about me.
194
00:10:36,502 --> 00:10:39,505
And I know it's not a get out of
jail free card.
195
00:10:39,572 --> 00:10:43,175
All I want to do for you,
Summer, is help you realize your
196
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:47,880
dream and help you create
something that's long-lasting.
197
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:50,916
>> Summer: I certainly hope so.
>> Phyllis: Well, know so.
198
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:53,486
This is a great opportunity for
me, as well.
199
00:10:53,552 --> 00:10:58,257
And Diane -- she's just, you
know, an annoying byproduct.
200
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,459
>> Summer: Seriously?
You just can't help yourself
201
00:11:00,526 --> 00:11:03,129
from taking a cheap shot at her.
>> Phyllis: No, I can't.
202
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:07,233
Given our history, I can't.
Understand that.
203
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:11,704
All the tension between me and
Diane -- it will die out.
204
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:17,943
And given that, um, if Diane
self-implodes, well, you know --
205
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:21,480
that might be possible, even
inevitable -- will I shed a
206
00:11:21,547 --> 00:11:25,084
tear?
No chance.
207
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,225
>> Kyle: The wedding Summer and
I had in Milan was beautiful and
208
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:35,428
unforgettable.
>> Jack: I absolutely concur.
209
00:11:35,494 --> 00:11:38,097
>> Kyle: But I know there was
one thing Summer regrets.
210
00:11:38,164 --> 00:11:41,133
She missed having a celebration
here in Genoa City.
211
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,038
So I was wondering if you'd be
okay if I planned something at
212
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:51,811
the house.
Dad, did I ask for too much?
213
00:11:51,877 --> 00:11:53,479
Do you think I'm going overboard
with this idea?
214
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:57,850
>> Jack: No, no, no, it's --
It's a beautiful idea.
215
00:11:57,917 --> 00:12:00,653
My heart just swelled with the
thought.
216
00:12:00,719 --> 00:12:04,156
I would be honored to celebrate
your marriage in the Abbott
217
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,559
home.
>> Kyle: Great. Thank you.
218
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:09,862
Oh, uh, I haven't told Summer
about this.
219
00:12:09,929 --> 00:12:12,498
I wanted to make sure I planned
everything first.
220
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:13,966
>> Jack: I'm sure she will be
thrilled.
221
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:15,334
Listen, we can talk about this
some more.
222
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:18,237
I've got to get to a meeting.
>> Kyle: Yeah, sure.
223
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:25,411
>> Jack: You can count on me to
help in any way I can.
224
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:28,080
Whatever it takes to make this
celebration special.
225
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:30,049
>> Diane: What's this about a
celebration?
226
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:46,799
>> Adam: Excuse me, Sharon.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] I'm not sure
227
00:12:46,866 --> 00:12:48,400
I'm up for dealing with you
right now.
228
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:51,270
>> Adam: Will you please join me
on the patio?
229
00:12:51,337 --> 00:12:56,442
It will just take a moment.
>> Sally: I'm very busy, but,
230
00:12:56,509 --> 00:13:00,913
um...yeah, I think I could
spare a minute.
231
00:13:09,822 --> 00:13:13,626
>> Nick: Everything okay?
>> Sharon: Um, yeah, fine.
232
00:13:13,692 --> 00:13:18,030
I was just, um...
Anyway, where do we stand on
233
00:13:18,097 --> 00:13:20,533
this list?
>> Faith: Everything is almost
234
00:13:20,599 --> 00:13:23,035
packed, shipped, or crossed off
the to-dos.
235
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:26,038
We should be ready to leave this
afternoon right on schedule.
236
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:29,508
>> Adam: Faith's going off to
college.
237
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:33,746
I hope Sharon's ready.
But I'm happy for Faith.
238
00:13:33,812 --> 00:13:38,584
Big turning point in her life.
>> Sally: Good for Faith.
239
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:42,488
Happy for her.
But I know you didn't call me
240
00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:44,323
out here to talk about the
adventures of your niece.
241
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,792
So...what's going on?
242
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:58,337
>> Adam: I don't mean to beat
around the bush.
243
00:13:58,404 --> 00:14:01,707
I know you're busy.
How are things going at
244
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:05,211
Newman Media?
>> Sally: Things are going
245
00:14:05,277 --> 00:14:08,414
amazingly well.
Chloe and I are setting the
246
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,550
stage for some really big moves.
>> Adam: Mm.
247
00:14:11,617 --> 00:14:14,420
Well, it sounds like you and the
Newmans are working well
248
00:14:14,486 --> 00:14:17,089
together.
>> Sally: Actually, I haven't
249
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:21,460
had much one-on-one time with
Victoria, but Nick is proving to
250
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:25,297
be a terrifically nurturing and
supportive boss.
251
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:28,267
>> Adam: Hmm.
I'm not surprised.
252
00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:31,737
I knew you would work your magic
and impress them enough to seal
253
00:14:31,804 --> 00:14:34,440
your position there.
>> Sally: Of course you did.
254
00:14:34,506 --> 00:14:37,710
It's the whole reason why you
broke up with me, isn't it?
255
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:39,979
Are we done here?
>> Adam: Look -- No.
256
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:43,249
Please.
Will you just let me say
257
00:14:43,315 --> 00:14:45,217
what I need to say?
258
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,358
>> Nikki: Summer will benefit
from Diane's departure just as
259
00:14:52,424 --> 00:14:55,261
much as the rest of the Abbotts
and the Newmans.
260
00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:58,397
That woman staying in town will
be a disaster for everybody.
261
00:14:58,464 --> 00:15:00,799
>> Victor: I couldn't agree
more.
262
00:15:00,866 --> 00:15:04,703
But you must remember that it
was Summer who encouraged Kyle
263
00:15:04,770 --> 00:15:07,940
to reconnect with his mother,
although she knew the risks.
264
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:11,910
>> Nikki: Yes, but it's obvious
she's only tolerating Diane for
265
00:15:11,977 --> 00:15:15,581
his sake.
I mean, the woman is not the
266
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:19,151
kind of mother or mother-in-law
that those kids deserve -- or
267
00:15:19,218 --> 00:15:21,887
any kind of grandmother for
Harrison.
268
00:15:21,954 --> 00:15:26,525
I just know that when Diane
shows her true colors, everybody
269
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:29,094
will see her for the fraud that
she is.
270
00:15:29,161 --> 00:15:33,432
And then Kyle's eyes will be
opened and Summer can be loving
271
00:15:33,499 --> 00:15:37,002
and supportive, but not at all
surprised.
272
00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:37,736
>> Victor: Yeah.
273
00:15:39,805 --> 00:15:43,642
>> Jack: She's all yours.
274
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:45,577
>> Kyle: Okay, Mom.
>> Diane: [ Chuckles ]
275
00:15:45,644 --> 00:15:48,514
>> Kyle: I will tell you, but
first, you need to understand
276
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:50,382
this is a big surprise for
Summer.
277
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:53,485
So, can I trust you to keep a
secret?
278
00:15:53,552 --> 00:15:55,988
>> Diane: Yes.
My lips are sealed. I promise.
279
00:15:56,055 --> 00:15:58,624
>> Kyle: [ Chuckles ]
I'm planning a wedding
280
00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:02,061
celebration for my wife in her
hometown, with all of her family
281
00:16:02,127 --> 00:16:04,730
and friends to witness.
>> Diane: Oh, Kyle!
282
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:08,534
That is so sweet and wildly
romantic.
283
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,269
>> Kyle: Oh, I think Summer will
love the idea.
284
00:16:10,336 --> 00:16:13,305
>> Diane: I know she will.
And I want to do whatever I can
285
00:16:13,372 --> 00:16:15,908
to help make this the
spectacular day you both
286
00:16:15,974 --> 00:16:17,509
deserve.
>> Kyle: Thanks for offering,
287
00:16:17,576 --> 00:16:18,777
Mom.
>> Diane: Yeah.
288
00:16:18,844 --> 00:16:23,248
I am -- I am just so grateful to
be here with you and my grandson
289
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:26,151
at such a happy and important
time.
290
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:29,021
I missed so many of these
moments.
291
00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:31,690
>> Kyle: Well, the good news is
you're here now.
292
00:16:31,757 --> 00:16:34,927
>> Diane: Yeah.
You know, I know this wedding
293
00:16:34,993 --> 00:16:38,897
you're planning is for Summer,
but, in a way, it -- it almost
294
00:16:38,964 --> 00:16:42,201
feels like it's for me, too,
since I wasn't here the first
295
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:46,438
time.
I am over the moon that I get to
296
00:16:46,505 --> 00:16:50,576
celebrate such a wonderful
milestone with you.
297
00:16:50,642 --> 00:16:53,545
It's gonna be so special.
>> Kyle: Well, that's the plan.
298
00:16:53,612 --> 00:16:58,117
>> Diane: Yeah.
[ Indistinct conversation ]
299
00:16:58,183 --> 00:17:00,552
>> Summer: Looks like we walked
in on something.
300
00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:05,124
>> Diane: Oh, just, um, another
day of counting my blessings.
301
00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:06,859
But I really need to get back
to work.
302
00:17:06,925 --> 00:17:09,928
Uh...nice dress, Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: Thank you so much.
303
00:17:09,995 --> 00:17:15,300
It's Marchetti.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ]
304
00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:20,005
>> Faith: The last thing to do
is say goodbye to Noah.
305
00:17:20,072 --> 00:17:22,775
But I will be back in plenty of
time to catch up with him
306
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:24,977
before we leave.
>> Nick: Alright.
307
00:17:25,043 --> 00:17:30,749
>> Faith: [ Chuckles ]
>> Nick: And there goes our baby
308
00:17:30,816 --> 00:17:32,885
girl.
She's all grown up, ready to
309
00:17:32,951 --> 00:17:36,789
take on the world.
>> Sharon: She's my last one.
310
00:17:36,855 --> 00:17:39,725
Mariah's married now, starting a
life of her own.
311
00:17:39,792 --> 00:17:41,460
>> Nick: And we're very happy
for her.
312
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:45,063
>> Sharon: Yep.
And I remember when Noah left.
313
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:48,066
Broke my heart a little.
>> Nick: Yeah, me too.
314
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:50,836
But we survived.
And look -- now he's back.
315
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:53,839
>> Sharon: Yeah, you know, and
Faith is gonna be back soon,
316
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,908
too.
I mean, after all, the holidays
317
00:17:55,974 --> 00:17:58,977
are coming, and -- and there's
three-day weekends.
318
00:17:59,044 --> 00:18:01,480
She said that she wants to work
for Newman when she graduates,
319
00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:05,317
so I would imagine she'll move
back to Genoa City permanently.
320
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:08,020
>> Nick: Unless she wants to go
work at one of our European
321
00:18:08,086 --> 00:18:09,855
divisions.
>> Sharon: No.
322
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:11,990
Don't even think that.
>> Nick: [ Chuckles ]
323
00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:15,594
[ Cellphone pings ]
[ Groans ]
324
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:18,997
>> Sharon: What? Trouble?
>> Nick: No. It's just my Dad.
325
00:18:19,064 --> 00:18:20,766
He wants to see me.
>> Sharon: Oh.
326
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,234
Well, why don't you go and do
that?
327
00:18:22,301 --> 00:18:24,269
We still have some time before
we need to leave.
328
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:27,906
I hope it's nothing serious.
>> Nick: When it's my dad,
329
00:18:27,973 --> 00:18:30,375
when is it not serious?
330
00:18:37,983 --> 00:18:41,720
Oh, no.
What's wrong?
331
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:42,921
>> Tessa: [ Sighs ]
332
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:52,998
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
333
00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:15,220
>> Tessa: I just -- I can't
believe it.
334
00:19:15,287 --> 00:19:18,357
I really can't.
>> Mariah: We had an awful
335
00:19:18,423 --> 00:19:22,427
morning.
>> Sharon: What happened?
336
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:26,365
>> Mariah: Uh, we got turned
down by a private adoption
337
00:19:26,431 --> 00:19:30,869
attorney.
>> Sharon: What? Why?
338
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:33,171
I mean, I knew there'd be
hurdles, but not right out
339
00:19:33,238 --> 00:19:35,674
of the gate.
>> Mariah: We wanted to be open
340
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:38,110
about our past.
We didn't want to hide anything.
341
00:19:38,176 --> 00:19:41,446
>> Tessa: We thought it was
better than risking things come
342
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:44,516
out and potentially delaying or
affecting the process.
343
00:19:44,583 --> 00:19:47,286
>> Mariah: So much for honesty
being the best policy.
344
00:19:47,352 --> 00:19:49,488
>> Sharon: What did this
attorney say?
345
00:19:49,555 --> 00:19:52,891
>> Mariah: Uh, she didn't feel
like it would be likely that we
346
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:56,528
would be chosen by a prospective
birth mother when we were
347
00:19:56,595 --> 00:20:03,101
compared to people that didn't
have...criminal records.
348
00:20:07,239 --> 00:20:09,942
>> Nikki: I don't know where the
time goes.
349
00:20:10,008 --> 00:20:13,745
Can you believe that little
Dominic is already a year old?
350
00:20:13,812 --> 00:20:17,249
On top of Faith going off to
college.
351
00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:21,620
>> Victor: Yep.
All these milestones puts things
352
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:24,156
in perspective, doesn't it?
>> Nikki: Yes, it certainly
353
00:20:24,222 --> 00:20:26,558
does.
But something tells me that
354
00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:30,796
you're talking about something
more specific.
355
00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:33,198
>> Victor: Well, I can't help
but think about Adam's place in
356
00:20:33,265 --> 00:20:38,136
the family.
>> Nikki: I'm sorry that he's
357
00:20:38,203 --> 00:20:40,539
let you down yet again.
>> Victor: I think this time it
358
00:20:40,606 --> 00:20:44,876
may be different.
He promised not to be
359
00:20:44,943 --> 00:20:49,481
revengeful, you know?
I mean, he could have evidence
360
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:51,483
that could cause a lot of
trouble for our family, but I
361
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:55,687
haven't seen it anywhere.
>> Nikki: Darling, please
362
00:20:55,754 --> 00:20:58,624
promise me that you won't get
your hopes up again.
363
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:01,426
I mean, you should be focusing
on how well your other children
364
00:21:01,493 --> 00:21:06,198
are doing.
I know that Adam's distance is
365
00:21:06,264 --> 00:21:10,335
breaking your heart, but it's
not your fault that he seems
366
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:13,839
incapable of being a meaningful
member of this family.
367
00:21:13,905 --> 00:21:19,544
>> Victor: I still feel there's
a chance that he'll come around.
368
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:24,116
>> Nikki: Maybe there's just too
many wounds, too much anger over
369
00:21:24,182 --> 00:21:26,485
the years.
>> Victor: But I'm not gonna
370
00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:30,422
give up on him.
He's my son.
371
00:21:30,489 --> 00:21:33,025
>> Sally: I know you have
nowhere to be, but I do, and I'm
372
00:21:33,091 --> 00:21:35,661
not gonna let my work slide
because of you.
373
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:39,431
>> Adam: Actually, I have
somewhere to be now, too.
374
00:21:39,498 --> 00:21:48,206
Jack offered me co-CEO at Jabot,
and, uh, I took him up on it.
375
00:21:48,273 --> 00:21:51,376
>> Sally: When did that happen?
Did you have this cushy new job
376
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:54,246
lined up when you walked out on
me at Newman Media?
377
00:21:54,312 --> 00:21:56,148
>> Adam: Mnh.
Jack offered it to me out of the
378
00:21:56,214 --> 00:22:01,253
blue after I quit.
>> Sally: Huh.
379
00:22:01,319 --> 00:22:04,723
How's that going for you?
Bet you're juggling a lot with
380
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:06,892
this big new job and doing
everything in your power to
381
00:22:06,958 --> 00:22:08,760
destroy your father at the same
time.
382
00:22:16,234 --> 00:22:19,071
>> Summer: Hey, what was --
what was going on earlier when
383
00:22:19,137 --> 00:22:22,307
my mom and I walked in?
You and Diane seemed almost
384
00:22:22,374 --> 00:22:25,444
conspiratorial.
>> Kyle: Nothing for you to
385
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,913
worry about.
My mom's emotions get the
386
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:30,215
better of her sometimes,
that's all.
387
00:22:30,282 --> 00:22:32,684
She still finds it hard to
believe that she was able to get
388
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:35,253
her life back after all these
years.
389
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,823
And, hey, we need to go.
We're late for the conference
390
00:22:37,889 --> 00:22:40,759
call with Milan.
>> Summer: Oh. Yeah.
391
00:22:51,636 --> 00:22:53,071
>> Phyllis: Eavesdropping a
little?
392
00:22:53,138 --> 00:22:55,273
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ]
Of course not.
393
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:58,043
I was just marveling at how
happy our kids are.
394
00:22:58,110 --> 00:23:00,512
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
And I'd like them to stay that
395
00:23:00,579 --> 00:23:04,616
way.
>> Diane: I'd like nothing more.
396
00:23:04,683 --> 00:23:07,953
>> Phyllis: So, that little
moment that Summer and I walked
397
00:23:08,019 --> 00:23:11,056
in on?
>> Diane: Life is full of all
398
00:23:11,123 --> 00:23:15,093
kinds of moments, but that one
was not for public consumption.
399
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,863
>> Phyllis: Oh, that's
interesting, considering how
400
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:22,768
your life has been served up for
public consumption today.
401
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:24,069
Oh, you haven't seen it?
402
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:34,780
>> Sharon: This adoption
attorney's decision is just
403
00:23:34,846 --> 00:23:39,417
absurd, and it's wrong.
You too aren't criminals.
404
00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:42,287
Where does she get off saying
something like that about you?
405
00:23:42,354 --> 00:23:45,290
>> Tessa: It's true.
We haven't actually broken the
406
00:23:45,357 --> 00:23:48,093
law in a long time.
>> Mariah: But our records are
407
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,030
far from spotless.
I mean, I cringe to think at all
408
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:55,934
the break-ins and robberies I
committed.
409
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:59,638
>> Sharon: But you were forced
into a cult by the people who
410
00:23:59,704 --> 00:24:02,207
stole you from me.
They should be the ones taking
411
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:04,776
all the blame for that.
Ian Ward -- he couldn't teach
412
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:07,045
anyone right from wrong.
>> Tessa: I mean, I'm not
413
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:09,581
innocent, either.
I blackmailed you, Nikki,
414
00:24:09,648 --> 00:24:13,451
Phyllis, and Victoria, and I
stole Nikki's gun.
415
00:24:13,518 --> 00:24:16,888
>> Sharon: But you did all of
that to protect your sister, who
416
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:20,258
was in very serious danger.
>> Tessa: Yeah, well, that part
417
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:22,527
didn't go over well with the
lawyer, either.
418
00:24:22,594 --> 00:24:25,530
Turns out being mixed up with
a sex-trafficking operation
419
00:24:25,597 --> 00:24:28,266
does not make us look like the
best prospective parents.
420
00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:30,802
>> Mariah: It's enough to have
lived through all of that
421
00:24:30,869 --> 00:24:34,472
trauma, but now it feels like
we're being punished for it.
422
00:24:34,539 --> 00:24:38,510
Years later. It's not fair.
>> Tessa: I was prepared for
423
00:24:38,577 --> 00:24:42,948
this to be a long and difficult
process, but I was not prepared
424
00:24:43,014 --> 00:24:45,617
for the person who's supposed to
be our advocate to reject us
425
00:24:45,684 --> 00:24:49,688
before we even get started.
>> Mariah: We thought we had
426
00:24:49,754 --> 00:24:53,692
gone through some horrible times
and we had finally put it all
427
00:24:53,758 --> 00:24:58,129
behind us and moved on.
>> Sharon: Well, you did.
428
00:24:58,196 --> 00:25:01,166
And you have.
I'm sorry, but this is just
429
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:03,368
outrageous.
I hope that the two of you are
430
00:25:03,435 --> 00:25:05,036
not planning on giving up now.
431
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,878
>> Phyllis: Oh, I guess you
haven't seen the latest, um,
432
00:25:12,944 --> 00:25:17,382
posting on Talia Morgan's
magazine site.
433
00:25:17,449 --> 00:25:19,384
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ]
>> Phyllis: I suppose she
434
00:25:19,451 --> 00:25:23,088
decided to scrap her article on
Ashland and do deep dive into
435
00:25:23,154 --> 00:25:25,223
your life.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ]
436
00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:28,059
>> Phyllis: Wow.
Well, it's a banner headline
437
00:25:28,126 --> 00:25:30,428
on her site.
>> Diane: Oh, and it's what?
438
00:25:30,495 --> 00:25:31,863
It's what?
Just a bunch of gossip.
439
00:25:31,930 --> 00:25:34,132
>> Phyllis: No.
She's not a gossip columnist.
440
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:37,168
You know that.
She's an investigative
441
00:25:37,235 --> 00:25:39,905
journalist.
You know -- because you were
442
00:25:39,971 --> 00:25:42,707
fawning all over her yesterday.
>> Diane: Yeah, and this woman
443
00:25:42,774 --> 00:25:45,510
wrote about what exactly?
Old news?
444
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:48,446
Because I haven't done anything
wrong in years.
445
00:25:48,513 --> 00:25:54,552
>> Phyllis: Mm. So says you.
>> Diane: Look, the people who
446
00:25:54,619 --> 00:25:57,889
matter have moved on from the
past, and I don't have the
447
00:25:57,956 --> 00:26:01,459
energy for those clinging to it.
>> Phyllis: You've been on your
448
00:26:01,526 --> 00:26:06,298
best behavior since you came
into town, Diane.
449
00:26:06,364 --> 00:26:10,235
But after reading this article,
everyone will know that you are
450
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:15,607
the most despicable and the most
hated woman in Genoa City.
451
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:20,612
And that must disturb you in
so many ways.
452
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:39,731
>> Diane: [ Sighs heavily ]
"The Long and Winding Road of
453
00:26:39,798 --> 00:26:46,304
Diane Jenkins.
Back From the Dead."
454
00:26:46,371 --> 00:26:54,079
>> Nikki: Ooh, this is too good.
"Years ago, Diane Jenkins
455
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:58,583
appeared to be the victim of a
vicious murder."
456
00:26:58,650 --> 00:27:02,153
>> Victor: Whoa.
So, your handiwork has paid off?
457
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:04,522
>> Nikki: Oh, you bet it has.
Listen to this.
458
00:27:04,589 --> 00:27:08,660
"Now she has returned to the
scene of the crime, alive and
459
00:27:08,727 --> 00:27:12,030
well and hoping to pick up where
she left off."
460
00:27:12,097 --> 00:27:16,534
But can she really overcome the
trail of destruction she left
461
00:27:16,601 --> 00:27:18,870
behind?"
I've got to give Talia a call
462
00:27:18,937 --> 00:27:20,872
and tell her how brilliant this
article is.
463
00:27:20,939 --> 00:27:24,576
>> Victor: [ Laughs ]
[ Door closes ]
464
00:27:24,642 --> 00:27:26,478
>> Nick: Hey, Dad.
>> Victor: Hi, son.
465
00:27:26,544 --> 00:27:30,248
>> Nick: Uh, I'm guessing your
summons has to do with Faith
466
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:31,883
leaving today.
Did you forget to give her a
467
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:33,485
gift or something?
>> Victor: No.
468
00:27:33,551 --> 00:27:38,456
It has to do with my concern
about Sally Spectra.
469
00:27:38,523 --> 00:27:41,426
How do you think she's doing at
Newman Media?
470
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:43,728
>> Nick: So far, she's lived up
to our expectations.
471
00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:47,665
>> Victor: Really?
But not to mine.
472
00:27:47,732 --> 00:27:50,769
I'd asked her to try to convince
Adam to stay with the company,
473
00:27:50,835 --> 00:27:56,141
and she was not able to do that.
So, as far as I'm concerned,
474
00:27:56,207 --> 00:27:57,409
she's not up to her task.
475
00:27:58,810 --> 00:27:59,711
>> Adam: I don't want to talk
476
00:27:59,778 --> 00:28:02,313
about my father.
I am worried about you right
477
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:04,215
now.
>> Sally: Well, you certainly
478
00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:08,219
don't need to be.
>> Adam: Not according to Chloe.
479
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:12,323
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
What did she say to you?
480
00:28:12,390 --> 00:28:14,993
>> Adam: She -- She was simply
acting out of concern for her
481
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:20,498
friend and boss.
But she accused me of trying to
482
00:28:20,565 --> 00:28:25,003
mess with your head, which was
never my intention.
483
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:28,673
>> Sally: Well, for your
information, my head is
484
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:31,142
perfectly fine.
Completely un-messed with.
485
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,478
>> Adam: I certainly want to
believe that.
486
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:38,183
And Chloe was very adamant that
I need to make it clear that
487
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:40,018
there is no future for us as a
couple.
488
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:42,353
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
I cannot believe that Chloe's
489
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:44,456
actually getting involved in my
personal life.
490
00:28:44,522 --> 00:28:48,259
So, is that the reason why you
brought me out here -- to follow
491
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:50,395
through with Chloe's request?
You want to give me more reasons
492
00:28:50,462 --> 00:28:51,696
why you don't want to be with
me?
493
00:28:51,763 --> 00:28:53,765
Is there really anything that
you could say that could hurt me
494
00:28:53,832 --> 00:28:56,901
more than you already have?
>> Adam: No, Sally.
495
00:28:56,968 --> 00:28:59,804
Okay?
You've got it all wrong.
496
00:28:59,871 --> 00:29:04,409
>> Sally: Then what?
>> Adam: I want to say that I'm
497
00:29:04,476 --> 00:29:05,110
sorry.
498
00:29:12,951 --> 00:29:15,153
>> Sharon: That adoption
attorney better not have
499
00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:17,956
discouraged you in any way,
okay?
500
00:29:18,022 --> 00:29:21,993
We'll find another one.
We'll find a better one, one
501
00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:24,829
that can see that you two have
gotten your lives together in
502
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:29,100
spectacular fashion.
>> Mariah: You're more than
503
00:29:29,167 --> 00:29:33,538
biased, okay?
You're my mom, for God's sake.
504
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:35,673
>> Tessa: And mine, too,
pretty much.
505
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:39,077
>> Sharon: Which puts me in the
perfect position to know that
506
00:29:39,144 --> 00:29:42,180
both of you will be great
parents.
507
00:29:42,247 --> 00:29:44,849
>> Mariah: Thank you, Mom.
>> Sharon: And neither one of
508
00:29:44,916 --> 00:29:49,787
you are quitters.
You know, it takes faith most of
509
00:29:49,854 --> 00:29:53,992
all, but it also takes strength
and stamina to be a parent.
510
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:58,296
And I can testify that you both
have that and a lot more.
511
00:29:58,363 --> 00:30:02,033
A mom is someone who speaks up
for someone else who just had
512
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:04,736
surgery and can't talk for
themselves.
513
00:30:04,802 --> 00:30:08,373
A mom is someone who knows that
their loved one is going through
514
00:30:08,439 --> 00:30:12,110
something, even if they're miles
and miles away.
515
00:30:12,177 --> 00:30:15,780
Your past is not gonna make you
worse parents.
516
00:30:15,847 --> 00:30:19,117
It's going to make you better
because you learned from it.
517
00:30:19,184 --> 00:30:22,153
And you'll know how to keep your
own children away from falling
518
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:26,257
into those same traps.
You just watch.
519
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:31,930
Your kids are gonna be the
greatest gift in your life.
520
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:34,699
And they'll also be your
greatest heartaches sometimes,
521
00:30:34,766 --> 00:30:39,037
too, unfortunately.
But you will be their rocks.
522
00:30:39,103 --> 00:30:42,674
You'll be there with them every
step of the way, until one day
523
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:46,744
they've grown up and they go out
into the world on their own.
524
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:49,247
But you won't worry about that
because you'll know that you
525
00:30:49,314 --> 00:30:52,217
have prepared them for it.
And you'll still be there with
526
00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:55,520
them, coaching them through all
of life's journeys, all the
527
00:30:55,587 --> 00:30:59,991
highs and lows...
because that is what a good
528
00:31:00,058 --> 00:31:06,798
Come here.
>> Mariah: [ Sighs, sniffles ]
529
00:31:17,141 --> 00:31:20,144
>> Phyllis: I knew you wouldn't
be able to resist.
530
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:23,948
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ]
>> Phyllis: Juicy, isn't it?
531
00:31:24,015 --> 00:31:29,153
And I forgot to tell you --
apparently, it's not just this
532
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:33,458
article.
This is the first of a series
533
00:31:33,524 --> 00:31:35,860
of articles on you.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ]
534
00:31:35,927 --> 00:31:39,497
>> Phyllis: Wait till everybody
gets a load of this.
535
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:06,658
>> Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]
536
00:32:11,329 --> 00:32:12,463
>> Nick: Come on, Dad.
537
00:32:12,530 --> 00:32:14,732
You didn't honestly believe
Sally was gonna talk Adam into
538
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,235
doing something he was
determined not to, right?
539
00:32:17,302 --> 00:32:19,337
I mean, that was never gonna
happen.
540
00:32:19,404 --> 00:32:23,574
Adam is nothing if not stubborn.
>> Victor: Your brother always
541
00:32:23,641 --> 00:32:26,878
had a chip on his shoulder when
it came to doing a favor for his
542
00:32:26,944 --> 00:32:30,948
family, you know?
But I still think Sally Specter
543
00:32:31,015 --> 00:32:33,451
should have been able to
convince him to stay with
544
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:36,154
Newman Media.
>> Nick: Adam didn't just walk
545
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:38,890
away from Newman Media and the
family.
546
00:32:38,956 --> 00:32:41,726
He also walked away from Sally.
I get the impression she was
547
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:45,063
very hurt by the way he did it,
even though he claims to have
548
00:32:45,129 --> 00:32:46,931
done it for her.
She just wants to put the whole
549
00:32:46,998 --> 00:32:49,233
situation in her rearview
mirror.
550
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,836
>> Victor: Do you really think
Sally Spectra is able to run a
551
00:32:51,903 --> 00:32:54,906
company?
>> Nick: I know you don't want
552
00:32:54,972 --> 00:32:57,675
to hear this, but she's done
everything we've asked of her,
553
00:32:57,742 --> 00:33:00,645
and she's done a great job.
And I actually think she's gonna
554
00:33:00,712 --> 00:33:03,281
do an even better job and excel
once she gets Adam out of her
555
00:33:03,348 --> 00:33:04,449
system.
>> Victor: Yeah, but, see,
556
00:33:04,515 --> 00:33:08,486
that's the point, son.
Again, personal feelings -- what
557
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:10,221
does that have to do with
running a company?
558
00:33:10,288 --> 00:33:12,523
Nothing.
I don't think she's capable of
559
00:33:12,590 --> 00:33:14,959
it.
Besides that, do you remember
560
00:33:15,026 --> 00:33:19,097
that she convinced Summer to
move to Milan, thereby
561
00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:21,899
endangering the relationship
with Kyle?
562
00:33:21,966 --> 00:33:26,104
I don't trust that woman.
I think you should fire her.
563
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:31,275
>> Sally: So, what exactly are
you sorry for?
564
00:33:31,342 --> 00:33:33,411
Because I have a long list of
your offenses that are
565
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:37,582
apology-worthy.
>> Adam: And I apologize for
566
00:33:37,648 --> 00:33:40,518
every single one of them, Sally,
okay?
567
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:44,222
I was a cruel jerk.
And I feel terrible for lying
568
00:33:44,288 --> 00:33:47,458
to you.
And I should have trusted that
569
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,595
you and I -- we could have
decided together how to handle
570
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:52,997
the situation.
Instead, I didn't let you weigh
571
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:56,167
in at all.
>> Sally: Yeah, that wasn't fair
572
00:33:56,234 --> 00:33:57,902
to me.
>> Adam: I know.
573
00:33:57,969 --> 00:34:02,273
But all I could think about was
protecting you and your position
574
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:04,709
at Newman Media.
I mean, the last thing that I
575
00:34:04,776 --> 00:34:08,913
wanted is for my family's
distrust of me to impact your
576
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:12,316
opportunity to shine in your
role.
577
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:14,819
And you have.
You have.
578
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:17,822
You have proven yourself worthy,
despite all the doubts that they
579
00:34:17,889 --> 00:34:20,792
have had about you.
>> Sally: Yeah.
580
00:34:20,858 --> 00:34:23,928
Apparently, they had more faith
in me than you did.
581
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:27,432
>> Adam: I didn't want you to be
collateral damage in this war
582
00:34:27,498 --> 00:34:30,835
that I was gonna re-launch with
my family.
583
00:34:30,902 --> 00:34:36,274
But now...there is no war.
And I just -- I should've
584
00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:39,911
believed that you and I, as a
team, could figure out a way
585
00:34:39,977 --> 00:34:44,882
to keep you out of it.
You know, I guess I just --
586
00:34:44,949 --> 00:34:48,719
I have been burned too many
times, and I have made mistakes
587
00:34:48,786 --> 00:34:55,893
in my past that I never wanted
to make again.
588
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,497
>> Sally: Like with Chelsea.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
589
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:01,799
Okay, Sally, you and I -- we
were always better working
590
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:04,101
together.
And I should have trusted in
591
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:09,407
that, should have trusted in us.
And I know you have every reason
592
00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:12,143
to think this is just more bull
from me.
593
00:35:12,210 --> 00:35:14,879
But you know me.
You see right through my lies,
594
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:18,749
and you have been right about me
this whole time.
595
00:35:18,816 --> 00:35:21,586
So, can't you tell this is
sincere?
596
00:35:21,652 --> 00:35:24,922
This apology is coming from my
heart.
597
00:35:24,989 --> 00:35:28,726
Is there any way that you can
forgive me?
598
00:35:35,132 --> 00:35:36,300
>> Next week on
599
00:35:38,035 --> 00:35:39,403
>> Lily: Chelsea.
600
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:42,807
>> Billy: "Oh," as in that's not
a big deal, or "Oh," as in
601
00:35:42,874 --> 00:35:45,109
you're not happy that I spend
any time with her?
602
00:35:45,176 --> 00:35:47,545
>> Lauren: We're having a
problem with the direction of
603
00:35:47,612 --> 00:35:50,381
the shoot.
And if I'm to be honest,
604
00:35:50,448 --> 00:35:53,484
it's with Tessa.
>> Adam: Just thought you might
605
00:35:53,551 --> 00:35:59,624
want to know that I've taken a
job at Jabot as Jack's co-CEO.
