00:00:10,877 --> 00:00:13,513
>> Imani: How's business today,
Mr. COO?

00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:15,882
[ Both laugh ]
>> Nate: Imani.
3
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:19,486
I knew Devon decided to fly to
Virginia to see Amanda, but
4
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:21,388
I did not know you were coming
back home.
5
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:25,024
>> Imani: Actually, it was
Amanda's turn to come back, but
6
00:00:25,091 --> 00:00:28,094
she couldn't tear herself from
Mom and wanted to keep an eye on
7
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:29,195
things at the clinic.
8
00:00:29,262 --> 00:00:31,598
>> Nate: So you decided to come
back instead.
9
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:33,900
>> Imani: I thought one of us
had to come here to keep the
10
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:37,771
legal wheels turning, so here I
am.
11
00:00:37,837 --> 00:00:40,473
>> Nate: Well, it is really good
to see you.
12
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,009
>> Imani: It's good to be seen.
13
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:59,559
>> Billy: Whoa.
14
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:03,763
I don't -- I'm sorry if I gave
you the wrong impression, but
15
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:06,733
that -- that was a mistake.

I'm great.

23
00:01:18,077 --> 00:01:18,745
Yeah, it's a beautiful day.
24

Just soaking up the sunshine.

I'm sure you're busy, so don't
let me keep you.

actually.
29
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:27,520
I'm alright.
30
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:29,722
And I'm actually glad that I ran
into you.

that adoption agent refused to
37
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:12,465
represent us.
38
00:02:12,532 --> 00:02:13,800
>> Tessa: Yeah.
39
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:16,636
I mean, look, I know we both
have done things in the past
40
00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:18,671
that we regret, but that's what
it is.
41
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:19,973
It's the past.
42
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:21,908
>> Mariah: That's certainly not
how she saw it.
43
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:26,079
She's convinced that our arrest
records make us too sketchy to
44
00:02:26,145 --> 00:02:29,282
be considered as adoptive
parents.
45
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:31,985
Not the reaction we were hoping
for.
46
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:34,053
>> Tessa: So, what do we do now?
47
00:02:36,222 --> 00:02:39,292

here shortly, and then we'll get
48
00:02:39,359 --> 00:02:41,394
our college move-in road trip
started.
49
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:42,729
You all set?
50
00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:44,430
>> Sharon: I think so.
51
00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:48,001
Finished all my errands, and,
um, I packed a cooler with a
52
00:02:48,067 --> 00:02:51,604
bunch of drinks in it, got my
phone charged so I can take a
53
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:53,873
million pictures of her on
campus.
54
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:58,211
And I'm really excited for her.
55
00:02:58,278 --> 00:03:00,146
And I'm very proud.

00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:05,418
But...

come back to a home without
59
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:10,156
Faith in it?
60
00:03:10,223 --> 00:03:12,759
I don't know.
61
00:03:12,825 --> 00:03:14,661
It's going to be strange without
her around.
62
00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:16,663
>> Nick: I know.
63
00:03:16,729 --> 00:03:17,797
But you know what?
64
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,266
Noah and Mariah and Tessa --
they're not going anywhere.
65
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:24,837
And Christian will spend as much
time with you as you'll let him.
66
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:27,340
We just have to do what families
do and help each other out.
67
00:03:27,407 --> 00:03:28,308
>> Sharon: I know.
68
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:31,311
I have all of you guys.
69
00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:35,381
>> Nick: Speaking of which,
a couple members of my family
70
00:03:35,448 --> 00:03:37,450
were trying to help me earlier.
71
00:03:37,517 --> 00:03:38,718
>> Sharon: Oh.
72
00:03:38,785 --> 00:03:41,654
I got your message that you were
headed over to the ranch to meet
73
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:42,221
your mom.
74
00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:43,590
>> Nick: Yeah.
75
00:03:43,656 --> 00:03:46,426
We had a nice heart-to-heart
talk.
76
00:03:46,492 --> 00:03:51,064
But before then, I got some
advice from the last person I
77
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:54,434
ever expected to offer it.
78
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,470

00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:13,686
I hope this is a friendly visit.
81
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,889
Or at least a civil one.
82
00:04:16,956 --> 00:04:19,158
>> Adam: It was more of a
courtesy call.
83
00:04:19,225 --> 00:04:21,160
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
84
00:04:21,227 --> 00:04:23,029
>> Adam: Just thought you might
want to know that I've taken
85
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:26,532
a job at Jabot...
86
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,601
as Jack's co-CEO.
87
00:04:35,975 --> 00:04:38,211
>> Nate: I've been getting
updates on your mom's progress.
88
00:04:38,277 --> 00:04:40,246
I'm sorry to hear she's still in
a coma.

90
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:43,650
>> Nate: Hopefully her condition
will change sometime soon.
91
00:04:43,716 --> 00:04:46,719
How have you been holding up?
92
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:49,222
>> Imani: It's stressful.
93
00:04:49,288 --> 00:04:51,858
Between all the worrying about
mom, the traveling back and
94
00:04:51,924 --> 00:04:54,227
forth, I am so worn out.
95
00:04:54,293 --> 00:04:56,029
But what else can I do?
96
00:04:56,095 --> 00:04:58,564
I can't let exhaustion and jet
lag get to me.
97
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:01,134
I've got way too much work piled
up for that.
98
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,003
>> Nate: I hope you've at least
taken some time to eat.
99
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:06,072
>> Imani: Eat? Yeah, no.
100
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:09,308
[ Laughs ]
I had to rush to catch my
101
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:12,445
flight, and then I came straight
to the office from the airport.
102
00:05:12,512 --> 00:05:13,846
>> Nate: Mm.
103
00:05:13,913 --> 00:05:17,083
So, why don't I catch you up on
some things you might have
104
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,152
missed while I buy you some
lunch?
105
00:05:19,218 --> 00:05:20,920
>> Imani: Sounds good.
106
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:23,923
But just let me take care of
a few things in the office,
107
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:27,894
and then I am all yours.
108
00:05:31,397 --> 00:05:34,500
>> Mariah: I'll tell you what
we're gonna do.
109
00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:39,939
We are gonna look at this
situation as half full, not half
110
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:41,174
empty.
111
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,078
I'm not gonna let this lawyer
get inside of our heads and ruin
112
00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:45,978
our dream.
113
00:05:46,045 --> 00:05:46,913
>> Tessa: No, you're right.
114
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:47,947
Just like Sharon said.
115
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:50,349
I mean, we can't just give up
and lose hope.
116
00:05:50,416 --> 00:05:53,119
>> Mariah: I am not gonna let
this setback undermine our
117
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,253
confidence.
118
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,824
We always knew that this was not
going to be easy, okay?
119
00:05:57,890 --> 00:06:01,260
With our criminal records, our
complicated past.
120
00:06:01,327 --> 00:06:06,165
It's just facing the reality of
it that's hard.
121
00:06:06,232 --> 00:06:07,467
But we're not gonna give up.
122
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:10,336
And we're gonna find somebody
great to represent us.
123
00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:11,604
>> Tessa: Yeah.
124
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:15,241
I mean, someone who knows us and
exactly what we're looking for.
125
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,509
>> Mariah: Right.
126
00:06:16,576 --> 00:06:20,513
Somebody who's gonna answer all
of our questions and maybe even
127
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:24,951
help us figure out what kind of
adoption we want, you know,
128
00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:28,755
whether that's a birth mom,
international agency, or maybe
129
00:06:28,821 --> 00:06:30,757
even through the foster-care
system.
130
00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:35,228
>> Tessa: You know, considering
all that we just went through
131
00:06:35,294 --> 00:06:41,267
and what lies ahead, maybe we
should change our approach.
132
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:43,136
>> Mariah: What do you mean?
133
00:06:43,202 --> 00:06:46,005
>> Tessa: Well, this is gonna be
a long and emotional journey,
134
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:48,941
and it would be invaluable for
us to have someone who cares and
135
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:50,877
wants to see us succeed.
136
00:06:50,943 --> 00:06:54,180
Maybe someone we already know?
137
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:55,681
>> Mariah: Okay.
138
00:06:55,748 --> 00:06:57,583
I see where you're going.
139
00:06:57,650 --> 00:06:58,651
Christine.
140
00:06:58,718 --> 00:06:59,886
>> Tessa: Yeah.
141
00:06:59,952 --> 00:07:01,921
>> Mariah: Yeah, Sharon told me
that back in the day, she was
142
00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:04,056
the one who helped her get
custody of Cassie.
143
00:07:04,123 --> 00:07:06,859
>> Tessa: I mean, yeah, exactly.
144
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:10,263
Look, she doesn't specialize in
adoptions, but she certainly has
145
00:07:10,329 --> 00:07:12,865
enough experience in family law
to handle this.
146
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:15,802
>> Mariah: She did an amazing
job with Dominic's surrogacy
147
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:16,869
agreement for Abby.
148
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,571
>> Tessa: And she's a friend we
can trust.
149
00:07:18,638 --> 00:07:20,773
>> Mariah: She knows what good
mothers we would be.
150
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,942
She knows everything that I
went through with Dom.
151
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:27,180
I don't think we could ask for
a better advocate.
152
00:07:27,246 --> 00:07:30,683
The question is, would Christine
even want to represent us?
153
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:37,924
>> Tessa: Well, there's only one
way to find out.
154
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:39,892
>> Billy: I'm actually glad that
I ran into you.
155
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,261
Um...
156
00:07:42,328 --> 00:07:46,599
I don't feel great about the way
things ended between us as
157
00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:48,434
co-hosts of the podcast.
158
00:07:48,501 --> 00:07:49,402
I don't know.
159
00:07:49,468 --> 00:07:52,839
I mean, how do you feel since
our last taping?
160
00:07:52,905 --> 00:07:55,908
And let's not talk about the
weather, please, because we are
161
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:57,243
better friends than that.
162
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:59,745
>> Chelsea: We are, and I'm
actually glad I ran into you
163
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:02,048
because there's something I've
been meaning to ask.
164
00:08:02,114 --> 00:08:03,716
>> Billy: Sure. Go ahead.
165
00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,319
>> Chelsea: Have you had a
chance to talk to Victoria about
166
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:09,055
my request -- to tell Johnny I'm
his biological mother, he and
167
00:08:09,121 --> 00:08:10,356
Connor are actually brothers?
168
00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:13,993
>> Billy: I have not...yet.
169
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:15,494
Look, I'm sorry, Chelsea.
170
00:08:15,561 --> 00:08:18,431
Victoria's been away for work,
and I'm sure you can appreciate
171
00:08:18,497 --> 00:08:21,200
that's not really a conversation
to be had over the phone.
172
00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:23,135
>> Chelsea: No, of course it's
not, but I don't want too much
173
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:23,769
time to pass.
174
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:25,605
>> Billy: I understand that.
175
00:08:25,671 --> 00:08:30,142
Look, Victoria was not prepared
to have that conversation,
176
00:08:30,209 --> 00:08:33,079
especially since, you know,
everything she's been going
177
00:08:33,145 --> 00:08:34,013
through with Ashland's death.
178
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:34,714
>> Chelsea: I know.
179
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,615
She's been through a lot lately.
180
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:36,816
>> Billy: She has.
181
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:40,353
And I guess what I can do is --
is make sure that Johnny and
182
00:08:40,419 --> 00:08:46,092
Connor spend more time together,
even if it is just as cousins
183
00:08:46,158 --> 00:08:47,660
in this moment.
184
00:08:47,727 --> 00:08:49,695
>> Chelsea: Okay. That's a step.
185
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:51,297
That would be wonderful.
186
00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:54,367
You just let me know when
because my schedule's open these
187
00:08:54,433 --> 00:08:55,234
days.
188
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:56,369
>> Billy: Well, that's the
thing.
189
00:08:56,435 --> 00:08:57,403
It doesn't have to be.
190
00:08:57,470 --> 00:09:00,039
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ]
>> Billy: Look, I think you
191
00:09:00,106 --> 00:09:01,641
should reconsider doing the
podcast.
192
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:04,477
I really do, even if it's on
your own or with a new partner.
193
00:09:04,543 --> 00:09:06,512
>> Chelsea: Without you
involved, I just don't know what
194
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:07,580
the format will be.
195
00:09:07,647 --> 00:09:10,449
I think it's best if I just put
all that behind me.
196
00:09:10,516 --> 00:09:12,652
>> Billy: Do you really think
that's what's best for you?
197
00:09:12,718 --> 00:09:15,855
Because I'm not sure I do.
198
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:24,463
[ Knock on door ]
>> Elena: Hey.
199
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:25,197
>> Lily: Hey.
200
00:09:25,264 --> 00:09:25,965
>> Elena: Is now a good time?
201
00:09:26,032 --> 00:09:26,899
>> Lily: Yes, of course.
202
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:28,100
Come on in.
203
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:29,502
Thank you for coming right over.
204
00:09:29,568 --> 00:09:30,670
I know you're very busy.
205
00:09:30,736 --> 00:09:33,072
>> Elena: Yeah, I had just
enough time to drop by before I
206
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:34,340
have to head to the hospital.
207
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:37,376
But I am eager to discuss the
podcast.
208
00:09:37,443 --> 00:09:39,979
>> Lily: I know, and we
officially can now that you're a
209
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:41,847
part of the Chancellor-Winters
family.
210
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:43,716
>> Elena: Yes, and I have
already started working on
211
00:09:43,783 --> 00:09:44,717
material.
212
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:46,385
I want to make a really strong
first impression.
213
00:09:46,452 --> 00:09:48,187
>> Lily: What do you mean,
first impression?
214
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,157
You have a huge fan base from
AskMDNow.
215
00:09:51,223 --> 00:09:53,092
I mean, I think that your show
is gonna be one of our most
216
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:54,260
popular.
217
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:57,029
>> Elena: Well, that is a
generous expectation.
218
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:58,731
>> Lily: Well, I mean, the
numbers don't lie.
219
00:09:58,798 --> 00:09:59,799
It's just the truth.
220
00:09:59,865 --> 00:10:02,969
And your numbers back up
everything that I'm saying.
221
00:10:03,035 --> 00:10:06,072
I also want you to know that I
know that you have Nate at home
222
00:10:06,138 --> 00:10:09,775
and you have Devon across the
hall, but I am also here if you
223
00:10:09,842 --> 00:10:11,177
ever want to chat.
224
00:10:11,243 --> 00:10:12,378
And the same with Billy.
225
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:14,914
I mean, he has a lot of
experience with podcasts, so
226
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:17,583
please feel free to reach out to
him whenever you want.
227
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:18,651
>> Elena: Thank you.
228
00:10:18,718 --> 00:10:20,486
>> Lily: We're a team, you know?
229
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:26,225
It doesn't always feel that way,
I'm sure, which leads me to the
230
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:30,229
other reason why I wanted to
speak to you privately.
231
00:10:34,233 --> 00:10:37,536
>> Sharon: I want to hear more
about this advice Adam gave you.
232
00:10:37,603 --> 00:10:40,940
>> Nick: Well, we just happened
to run into each other.
233
00:10:41,007 --> 00:10:45,778
He asked me about Ashland's
death and how I was coping with
234
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:47,313
that.
235
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:49,782
Wasn't something I wanted to
talk about, but I didn't have to
236
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:50,883
say much.
237
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:52,818
>> Sharon: Because he's been
through something similar
238
00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:53,352
himself?
239
00:10:53,419 --> 00:10:54,954
>> Nick: Yeah.
240
00:10:55,021 --> 00:10:58,491
I mean, he gets what I'm going
through, you know?
241
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:03,229
The nightmares, the
self-recrimination.
242
00:11:03,295 --> 00:11:06,966
The overwhelming guilt about
taking another person's life.
243
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:10,036
>> Sharon: But you know that was
not your intent.
244
00:11:10,102 --> 00:11:13,439
Neither you nor Adam wanted
anything like that to happen.
245
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,341
>> Nick: Yeah.
246
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:18,077
The whole situation -- it just
gives me more insight into my
247
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:19,245
brother.
248
00:11:19,311 --> 00:11:21,480
I mean, I don't feel, like,
closer to him or anything, but
249
00:11:21,547 --> 00:11:24,984
I just -- I guess I have a
deeper understanding of him now,
250
00:11:25,051 --> 00:11:28,687
which is crazy because I thought
I knew everything there was to
251
00:11:28,754 --> 00:11:29,755
know about him.
252
00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:31,524
>> Sharon: Well, that's a
terrible thing to have in
253
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:32,758
common.
254
00:11:32,825 --> 00:11:36,629
But it's powerful to know that
someone else can totally relate
255
00:11:36,695 --> 00:11:38,731
to what you're going through.
256
00:11:38,798 --> 00:11:42,968
I hope that Adam's perspective
was somehow beneficial to you.
257
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:45,571
>> Nick: Yeah. Um...
258
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:49,408
I got the feeling he was sincere
and he just wanted help.
259
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:53,846
He even recommended that I go
see a therapist to help me
260
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:55,414
process everything.
261
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,484
>> Sharon: Interesting.
262
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:01,153
Though I realize you're not
really all that comfortable with
263
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:01,720
that idea.
264
00:12:01,787 --> 00:12:02,955
>> Nick: Yeah.
265
00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:06,325
Sharing my thoughts and feelings
with a total stranger -- yeah,
266
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:08,494
that's not something I'm into
at all.
267
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:13,332
>> Sharon: But we all need
someone just to talk to
268
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:17,203
sometimes, someone professional
and impartial who you can
269
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:21,273
confess absolutely anything to
without judgment because their
270
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:22,842
sole purpose is to help you.
271
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,478
>> Nick: Well, maybe I got
spoiled just having you to talk
272
00:12:25,544 --> 00:12:27,646
to.
273
00:12:27,713 --> 00:12:32,017
Or maybe you're tired of all my
moaning and groaning and this is
274
00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:34,086
your subtle way of saying, "Hey,
let's move things along."
275
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:36,655
>> Sharon: Well, that's not true
and you know it.
276
00:12:36,722 --> 00:12:40,559
I hope that you'll give some
thought to what Adam and I said.
277
00:12:40,626 --> 00:12:44,063
I mean, if we're both telling
you the same thing...
278
00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:46,132
maybe it's worth listening to.
279
00:12:49,301 --> 00:12:51,337
>> Adam: If you're trying to
build suspense, Dad, there's no
280
00:12:51,403 --> 00:12:52,238
need.
281
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:53,973
I can already guess what you're
thinking.
282
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:57,009
>> Victor: If you're trying to
get a rise out of me, it's not
283
00:12:57,076 --> 00:12:58,010
gonna happen, son.
284
00:12:58,077 --> 00:13:00,246
>> Adam: Good.
285
00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:02,848
Because that's not why I'm here.
286
00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:05,584
Just wanted to let you know that
I took the job, and I wanted you
287
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:06,685
to hear it from me first.
288
00:13:06,752 --> 00:13:08,821
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
289
00:13:08,888 --> 00:13:10,856
So, you're gonna work alongside
Jack Abbott...
290
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:11,624
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
291
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:12,858
>> Victor: ...of all people.
292
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:14,960
>> Adam: Jabot is a good fit
for me.
293
00:13:15,027 --> 00:13:16,362
>> Victor: Really?
294
00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:19,899
Is this a retaliatory move
because I didn't give you the
295
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:22,968
CEO position at Newman after
Victoria returned?
296
00:13:23,035 --> 00:13:25,905
I thought you were done seeking
vengeance.
297
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:27,907
>> Adam: Look, I meant what I
said, Dad, okay?
298
00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:33,546
I'm done lashing out at you
and the rest of the family.
299
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:37,716
I'm doing this for me --
so I can move on.
300
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:41,921
And just so you know, Jack only
had the best of intentions when
301
00:13:41,987 --> 00:13:45,491
he offered me this position.
302
00:13:45,558 --> 00:13:50,162
>> Victor: [ Chuckles ]
I'm sure he did. Really.
303
00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:52,631
>> Adam: He needs a right hand
now that Kyle has moved to
304
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:57,102
Marchetti, and he could sense
that I need a new purpose.
305
00:13:57,169 --> 00:14:01,140
He told me that I should let go
of my anger and use my energy
306
00:14:01,207 --> 00:14:04,977
for something productive and
stop trying to tear you down.
307
00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:08,480
>> Victor: Just remember that
Jack Abbott tried many times to
308
00:14:08,547 --> 00:14:11,917
tear me down and start a war
against me, and he failed every
309
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:13,886
time -- miserably.
310
00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:18,924
But, son, some things will never
change, okay?
311
00:14:18,991 --> 00:14:26,198
Going to work with
Jack Abbott...
312
00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:28,300
is a huge mistake.
313
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:30,102
>> Adam: And why is that?
314
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:34,707
>> Victor: There are many
reasons, but one being that it's
315
00:14:34,773 --> 00:14:36,709
a family business.
316
00:14:36,775 --> 00:14:38,444
You'll always be an outsider
there.
317
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:42,014
>> Adam: As opposed to how I'm
treated by my own family at
318
00:14:42,081 --> 00:14:43,549
Newman?
319
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:45,684
Uh, I think I'll take my chances
at Jabot.
320
00:14:45,751 --> 00:14:48,687
I don't think it could get much
worse, Dad.
321
00:14:48,754 --> 00:14:50,356
Guess I'll be on my way then.
322
00:14:50,422 --> 00:14:53,092
>> Victor: Wait a minute.
323
00:14:53,158 --> 00:14:55,561
We're not done yet.
324
00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:05,638
>> Billy: Look, I know I threw
you a curve ball when I decided
325
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:09,008
to step away from the podcast
so soon after we joined forces,
326
00:15:09,074 --> 00:15:13,112
but the truth is, Chelsea,
you don't need me.
327
00:15:13,178 --> 00:15:16,081
I mean, you have a gift for
holding the audience's
328
00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:19,918
attention, and I just --
I don't want you to walk away
329
00:15:19,985 --> 00:15:24,189
from that, not only because
you're great at it -- because I
330
00:15:24,256 --> 00:15:27,559
could tell you were very happy
behind that microphone.
331
00:15:27,626 --> 00:15:30,829
So, I'm hoping that you
reconsider.
332
00:15:30,896 --> 00:15:34,266
At least promise me you'll think
long and hard about it.
333
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:36,835
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ]
I don't know.
334
00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:39,405
To be honest with you, lately
I'm feeling very adrift.
335
00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:40,706
Not where Connor is involved.
336
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:42,341
I mean, he's the light of my
life.
337
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:44,943
He's my safe space.
338
00:15:45,010 --> 00:15:49,281
But besides focusing on being
the best mom I can possibly be,
339
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:51,750
I don't know what I want
anymore or where I'm headed.
340
00:15:51,817 --> 00:15:52,751
And I hate it.
341
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:56,755
I am a strong person and
determined and focused.
342
00:15:56,822 --> 00:15:59,224
You know?
343
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,393
I thought I'd come back to
Genoa City and rebuild my life,
344
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:04,463
but instead -- I-I don't know
how or why -- everything got
345
00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:06,665
thrown so off track.
346
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:08,734
>> Billy: Is that a rhetorical
question?
347
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:09,935
>> Chelsea: No.
348
00:16:10,002 --> 00:16:13,906
>> Billy: Because I think the
answer is very obvious.
349
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:17,776
>> Faith: Hey.
350
00:16:17,843 --> 00:16:19,244
>> Sharon: There she is!
351
00:16:19,311 --> 00:16:21,313
>> Nick: Our favorite little
Wolverine.
352
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:25,617
>> Faith: Nice, Dad, but never
call me that again, okay?
353
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:29,054
By the way, I just heard from
Moses, and he and his mom are
354
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:30,255
already on campus.
355
00:16:30,322 --> 00:16:31,857
Now I'm even more excited to get
there.
356
00:16:31,924 --> 00:16:32,658
>> Nick: Alright.
357
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:34,626
Well, then let's hit the road.
358
00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:36,729
>> Faith: Yes, but first I need
an iced tea.
359
00:16:36,795 --> 00:16:38,731
>> Sharon: Coming up.
360
00:16:38,797 --> 00:16:41,333
Did you, um, talk to Noah?
361
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,134
>> Faith: Yep.
362
00:16:42,201 --> 00:16:43,235
>> Sharon: Alright.
363
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:45,938
Did you get everything done on
your list?
364
00:16:46,004 --> 00:16:48,440
>> Faith: I just have one thing
left I have to do here.
365
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:51,577
But the good news is, all of my
stuff is in the car, and I'm
366
00:16:51,643 --> 00:16:53,178
pretty sure I have everything.
367
00:16:53,245 --> 00:16:55,481
>> Nick: And the bad news is?
368
00:16:55,547 --> 00:16:58,350
>> Faith: The car is so packed,
I don't know how we're gonna fit
369
00:16:58,417 --> 00:16:59,418
in it.
370
00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:00,853
>> Nick: I'm not worried about
it.
371
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:03,989
Ann Arbor is not that far away.
372
00:17:04,056 --> 00:17:09,194
>> Sharon: I have a feeling it's
gonna be a quick drive there and
373
00:17:09,261 --> 00:17:11,463
a very long drive home.
374
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:12,264
>> Faith: Mom.
375
00:17:12,331 --> 00:17:13,465
>> Sharon: I know.
376
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:16,201
I promised I wasn't gonna get
emotional, not until after we
377
00:17:16,268 --> 00:17:17,236
dropped you off.
378
00:17:17,302 --> 00:17:18,871
>> Faith: That's okay.
379
00:17:18,937 --> 00:17:21,607
I'm kind of having a hard time
believing that today is here,
380
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:23,075
too.
381
00:17:23,142 --> 00:17:26,645
But, remember, I'm only going to
be on the other side of the
382
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:28,414
lake.
383
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,282
>> Nick: A really big lake.
384
00:17:30,349 --> 00:17:34,019
Then, like, 140 miles east of
that, give or take.
385
00:17:34,086 --> 00:17:35,854
I mean, not that I looked that
up or anything.
386
00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:39,391
>> Faith: [ Chuckles ]
You guys are...
387
00:17:39,458 --> 00:17:40,325
>> Sharon: What?
388
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:41,493
Being ridiculous?
389
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,930
>> Nick: Embarrassingly
sentimental?
390
00:17:44,997 --> 00:17:46,999
>> Faith: The best.
391
00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:53,172
>> Lily: Now, I'm not playing
politics or trying to take sides
392
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:54,339
or anything like that.
393
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:56,842
[ Chuckles ] Um...
394
00:17:56,909 --> 00:18:00,312
I just wanted to know how you
think Nate has been doing
395
00:18:00,379 --> 00:18:03,315
lately.
396
00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:05,784
>> Elena: Why do you ask?
397
00:18:05,851 --> 00:18:10,088
>> Lily: Well, um, I just --
I know that the conflict with
398
00:18:10,155 --> 00:18:13,625
Devon has been really hard on
him, and I've just been worried
399
00:18:13,692 --> 00:18:14,726
about him.
400
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:19,364
>> Elena: [ Chuckles ]
Well, I mean, I haven't been in
401
00:18:19,431 --> 00:18:23,869
any of the business meetings
with Devon, but according to
402
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:28,740
Nate, he feels like Devon is not
interested in anything he brings
403
00:18:28,807 --> 00:18:30,008
to the table.
404
00:18:30,075 --> 00:18:35,380
He thinks that Devon doesn't
respect him.
405
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:37,015
>> Lily: Really?
406
00:18:37,082 --> 00:18:41,253
I mean, I've seen nothing but
love and respect from Devon,
407
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,455
but -- I don't know.
408
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:46,992
I think that they just approach
business differently.
409
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:48,460
>> Elena: In what way?
410
00:18:48,527 --> 00:18:50,896
>> Lily: Well, I think Nate has
a lot of great ideas, but he's
411
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:53,966
also very impatient, you know?
412
00:18:54,032 --> 00:18:57,202
And when he gets an idea in his
head, he wants to just go after
413
00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:57,836
it.
414
00:18:57,903 --> 00:18:59,805
And Devon's the opposite.
415
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:01,039
He's very cautious.
416
00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:02,574
He's very analytical.
417
00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:07,479
And it's a constant balancing
act between the two of them.
418
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:11,984
And I think Devon also feels
that Nate has overstepped a few
419
00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:13,252
times.
420
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:16,121
>> Elena: I can only imagine how
difficult this must be for you,
421
00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:18,991
having to be in the middle of
all of this.
422
00:19:19,057 --> 00:19:21,026
>> Lily: I mean, it's --
it's fine.
423
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:23,295
I can handle it.
424
00:19:23,362 --> 00:19:27,032
I just, uh, wanted to get your
take on the situation.
425
00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:30,936
I really want to help them find
some harmony.
426
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:35,107
>> Elena: Can we talk off the
record, like, just as friends?
427
00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:37,376
>> Lily: Yeah, of course.
428
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:41,246
>> Elena: Okay, but keep in mind
you might not like what I have
429
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:42,514
to say.
430
00:19:46,718 --> 00:19:48,987
>> Nate: Phyllis signed the
agreement for Chancellor-Winters
431
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:50,822
to acquire the Grand Phoenix.
432
00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:52,124
>> Imani: Oh, that was fast.
433
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:53,959
That's good news.
434
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:55,727
But enough about that stuff.
435
00:19:55,794 --> 00:19:57,462
I want to talk about you.
436
00:19:57,529 --> 00:19:59,064
>> Nate: Okay.
437
00:19:59,131 --> 00:20:01,433
>> Imani: Amanda mentioned
there's still a lot of tension
438
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:02,901
between you and Devon.
439
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:05,837
I was hoping, in my absence,
things may have improved.
440
00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:07,639
>> Nate: No such luck.
441
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,975
In fact, I'm afraid they may
have gotten worse.
442
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:11,843
>> Imani: Oh, no.
443
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:13,645
Nate, what happened?
444
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:17,115
>> Nate: Well, I, uh -- I came
up with an idea for a
445
00:20:17,182 --> 00:20:18,750
Chancellor-Winters music
festival.
446
00:20:18,817 --> 00:20:19,918
>> Imani: Okay.
447
00:20:19,985 --> 00:20:21,553
>> Nate: You know, bring in
A-list acts, large-venue sort
448
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:22,354
of thing.
449
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:24,556
I pitched it to Lily at first.
450
00:20:24,623 --> 00:20:25,390
She was into it.
451
00:20:25,457 --> 00:20:27,326
>> Imani: Oh, God, of course she
was.
452
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:29,194
That's a great idea.
453
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:30,495
I love it.
454
00:20:30,562 --> 00:20:31,797
And look at you, hmm?
455
00:20:31,863 --> 00:20:35,267
Putting something major on the
table like we discussed.
456
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:36,868
I'm really proud of you.
457
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:37,569
>> Nate: Thank you.
458
00:20:37,636 --> 00:20:39,004
>> Imani: Mm-hmm.
459
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:40,772
>> Nate: Too bad Devon isn't.
460
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:45,210
He immediately put the kibosh
on it, said he might consider it
461
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:47,346
in a year, maybe.
462
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:49,881
>> Imani: [ Laughs ]
Are you serious?
463
00:20:49,948 --> 00:20:52,684
>> Nate: That attitude is
symbolic of how things have been
464
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:54,152
between us these days.
465
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:55,654
I present something.
466
00:20:55,721 --> 00:20:58,624
Even if Lilly backs me up,
he shut it down.
467
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:01,293
If it comes from me, the
answer's no.
468
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,629
>> Imani: I'm sorry to hear
that.
469
00:21:03,695 --> 00:21:08,166
>> Nate: Devon and I have been
keeping things polite, trying to
470
00:21:08,233 --> 00:21:10,736
co-exist at the office as much
as possible.
471
00:21:10,802 --> 00:21:12,004
>> Imani: Mm.
472
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:16,742
Which means you're constantly
swallowing your frustration.
473
00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:18,543
How's that working for you?
474
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:19,711
Really?
475
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:24,683
>> Nate: To be honest, I'm tired
of biting my tongue.
476
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:27,719
And poor Elena -- she's
definitely getting an earful.
477
00:21:27,786 --> 00:21:28,654
>> Imani: Mm.
478
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,922
How does she feel about all
of this?
479
00:21:30,989 --> 00:21:35,761
>> Nate: Her advice was for me
to make a clean break now and
480
00:21:35,827 --> 00:21:41,500
quit before my relationship with
Devon takes an irreparable hit.
481
00:21:41,566 --> 00:21:44,469
>> Imani: But you would never do
that, would you?
482
00:21:44,536 --> 00:21:47,305
No matter how bad things are,
right?
483
00:21:56,448 --> 00:21:58,717
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
484
00:22:17,302 --> 00:22:19,438
>> Adam: Look, I hope you know
I didn't come here looking for a
485
00:22:19,504 --> 00:22:20,572
fight.
486
00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:22,474
>> Victor: Son, I don't want to
fight with you, either.
487
00:22:22,541 --> 00:22:24,676
>> Adam: Then we're on the same
page.
488
00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:26,812
>> Victor: Sit down.
489
00:22:29,815 --> 00:22:33,118
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
>> Victor: There's nothing I can
490
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:37,656
say or do to convince you to
come back to Newman Enterprises?
491
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:41,293
>> Adam: There is nothing that
you can say or do to get me to
492
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,427
change my mind.
493
00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:45,330
My deal with Jabot is already
done.
494
00:22:45,397 --> 00:22:49,801
And, Dad, quite frankly, you can
just save yourself a lot of
495
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:54,940
frustration if you just admit my
leaving is what's best for both
496
00:22:55,006 --> 00:22:55,907
of us.
497
00:22:55,974 --> 00:22:58,276
>> Victor: I think you're so
wrong about that.
498
00:22:58,343 --> 00:23:00,846
>> Adam: This is -- This is
about so much more than just a
499
00:23:00,912 --> 00:23:02,914
position in a company.
500
00:23:02,981 --> 00:23:05,484
I mean, when are we gonna stop
this conflict?
501
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:06,585
>> Victor: You are my son!
502
00:23:06,651 --> 00:23:08,754
>> Adam: All we do is butt
heads, over and over again!
503
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:10,589
>> Victor: I want you to be part
of my life!
504
00:23:10,655 --> 00:23:13,225
>> Adam: Yes, you want me in
your life, but you don't want me
505
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:14,693
to run your company.
506
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,661
>> Victor: Why do you always go
there?
507
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:20,599
Why do you always go there?
508
00:23:20,665 --> 00:23:24,035
I treat you no differently than
I have treated Victoria,
509
00:23:24,102 --> 00:23:26,071
Nicholas, or Abby.
510
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:30,609
I've had differences with them,
enormous issues with them.
511
00:23:30,675 --> 00:23:32,611
They've become estranged, but
they've always come back.
512
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:35,180
They have never felt not part of
the family.
513
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:36,848
Why the hell are you different?
514
00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:41,319
Why is it all or nothing for
you?
515
00:23:41,386 --> 00:23:45,123
>> Adam: I am just cut from a
different cloth.
516
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:47,859
And I've accepted that.
517
00:23:47,926 --> 00:23:53,465
I think it's long overdue that
you've accepted that, too, Dad.
518
00:23:53,532 --> 00:23:55,767
>> Elena: Okay, here's the
thing.
519
00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:59,604
After hearing Nate vent again
about how upset he is,
520
00:23:59,671 --> 00:24:02,874
I suggested he leave
Chancellor-Winters.
521
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:04,776
>> Lily: You didn't.
522
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:06,645
>> Elena: I did.
523
00:24:06,711 --> 00:24:10,782
I mean, he's been so unhappy and
bothered by this situation with
524
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:12,284
Devon.
525
00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:15,687
And he's continually hurt and
disappointed.
526
00:24:15,754 --> 00:24:18,056
>> Lily: I really hate to hear
that.
527
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:20,158
>> Elena: Yeah, and he can't
help it.
528
00:24:20,225 --> 00:24:22,394
And it hurts me to see him
going through it.
529
00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:26,097
And I feel like if it's making
him that miserable, then what's
530
00:24:26,164 --> 00:24:28,633
the point?
531
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:31,069
>> Lily: Yeah. Um...
532
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:35,140
I know that you're trying to
protect him.
533
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:37,108
Um, how did he respond?
534
00:24:37,175 --> 00:24:40,612
>> Elena: Well, he flat out
refused to leave.
535
00:24:40,679 --> 00:24:43,849
He said he made a commitment to
his family and he wasn't gonna
536
00:24:43,915 --> 00:24:46,685
back out now.
537
00:24:46,751 --> 00:24:48,453
>> Lily: Okay.
538
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,821
Good.
539
00:24:49,888 --> 00:24:51,957
Good. I'm glad.
540
00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:55,994
Look, Elena, I want you to know
how much I believe in him.
541
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:59,698
You know, he has such strong
ideas, and he really belongs
542
00:24:59,764 --> 00:25:00,999
here with us.
543
00:25:01,066 --> 00:25:04,903
>> Elena: You should definitely
tell him that because I think my
544
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:08,073
suggestion just fueled the fire.
545
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:13,845
But, honestly, if you're looking
for a peaceful coexistence, I
546
00:25:13,912 --> 00:25:17,782
think it might be a distant
hope.
547
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:22,220
>> Imani: So, excuse me for
being presumptuous, but I was
548
00:25:22,287 --> 00:25:25,023
operating under the impression
that things were all good at
549
00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:26,324
Chancellor-Winters.
550
00:25:26,391 --> 00:25:30,161
I mean, what would you do if you
left?
551
00:25:30,228 --> 00:25:33,565
>> Nate: Elena thought that
maybe I miss medicine, that I
552
00:25:33,632 --> 00:25:35,367
would go back to the hospital.
553
00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:37,235
Technically, I'm still a
physician.
554
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:38,403
>> Imani: Mm, okay.
555
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:41,239
Well, I'm sure there are other
opportunities you could take
556
00:25:41,306 --> 00:25:42,641
advantage of at Memorial.
557
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,110
I mean, since your old
Chief of Surgery position has
558
00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:45,777
been filled.
559
00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:46,878
>> Nate: Mm.
560
00:25:46,945 --> 00:25:48,947
>> Imani: But the question is,
would that satisfy you?
561
00:25:49,014 --> 00:25:50,682
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
>> Imani: Is that what you
562
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:51,483
really want?
563
00:25:51,549 --> 00:25:53,685
>> Nate: Not in the least.
564
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:57,422
Elena just was trying to look
out for me.
565
00:25:57,489 --> 00:26:01,059
She knows how frustrated I've
been, and she worries about my
566
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:02,594
happiness.
567
00:26:02,661 --> 00:26:06,164
But that life -- no longer for
me.
568
00:26:06,231 --> 00:26:09,367
>> Imani: I'm relieved to hear
you say that.
569
00:26:09,434 --> 00:26:13,138
I think you are exactly where
you need to be.
570
00:26:13,204 --> 00:26:16,174
No, the one with the problem,
the guy with a chip on his
571
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:17,909
shoulder is Devon.
572
00:26:17,976 --> 00:26:21,546
The way I see it, you have only
one real option, and that is not
573
00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:23,281
to resign.
574
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:32,657
This is about proving your worth
in a way that he cannot ignore.
575
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:34,259
>> Chelsea: Tell me what's so
obvious.
576
00:26:34,326 --> 00:26:37,495
>> Billy: Well, to me, the only
person to blame for the disorder
577
00:26:37,562 --> 00:26:40,432
that you feel in your life since
coming back to Genoa City is
578
00:26:40,498 --> 00:26:41,366
Adam.
579
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:44,836
I mean, every bumpy road leads
back to Adam.
580
00:26:44,903 --> 00:26:47,973
[ Cellphone vibrating ]
>> Chelsea: You should probably
581
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:48,473
get that.
582
00:26:48,540 --> 00:26:49,874
>> Billy: It's okay.
583
00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:53,378
It can wait.
584
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,213
>> Lily: Billy, hey. It's me.
585
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,950
I'm in the office, so come see
me when you're free.
586
00:26:59,017 --> 00:27:00,452
Bye.
587
00:27:00,518 --> 00:27:02,821
>> Chelsea: I appreciate your
concern, but I don't feel like
588
00:27:02,887 --> 00:27:04,723
going down an Adam rabbit hole
with you right now.
589
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:05,890
>> Billy: Okay. I will drop it.
590
00:27:05,957 --> 00:27:08,393
I will not mention his name.
591
00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:11,529
But I do want to make sure that
you understand that your past or
592
00:27:11,596 --> 00:27:17,469
your present with Mr. No Name
should not shake the belief that
593
00:27:17,535 --> 00:27:20,138
you have in yourself.
594
00:27:20,205 --> 00:27:22,941
We all lose our mojo every now
and again, but you'll get it
595
00:27:23,008 --> 00:27:24,943
back.
596
00:27:25,010 --> 00:27:26,911
>> Chelsea: I hope so.
597
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:28,179
And I hope you do, too.
598
00:27:28,246 --> 00:27:29,581
>> Billy: What do you mean by
that?
599
00:27:29,647 --> 00:27:31,816
I feel like I'm doing okay.
600
00:27:31,883 --> 00:27:32,350
>> Chelsea: Okay.
601
00:27:32,417 --> 00:27:32,917
>> Billy: Pretty fine.
602
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:33,818
>> Chelsea: Great.
603
00:27:33,885 --> 00:27:34,886
If that's the case, then I'm
happy for you.
604
00:27:34,953 --> 00:27:37,155
You know, I'm just still
surprised that you abandoned
605
00:27:37,222 --> 00:27:39,157
your podcast to focus on
Chancellor-Winters.
606
00:27:39,224 --> 00:27:40,358
You loved being creative.
607
00:27:40,425 --> 00:27:42,060
You loved reaching your
audience.
608
00:27:42,127 --> 00:27:43,228
>> Billy: You're right. I did.
609
00:27:43,294 --> 00:27:45,063
>> Chelsea: But you ditched all
that to focus on corporate
610
00:27:45,130 --> 00:27:46,231
America.
611
00:27:46,297 --> 00:27:48,767
>> Billy: It was the change I
felt like I needed to make.
612
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:52,270
>> Chelsea: And I guess I'm just
still wondering why.
613
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:54,406
A suit -- you know, it's not
you.
614
00:27:54,472 --> 00:27:55,440
It's not who you are.
615
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:57,776
And you were the first person to
admit that to me.
616
00:27:57,842 --> 00:27:59,944
>> Billy: There's no one reason.
617
00:28:00,011 --> 00:28:01,079
There really isn't.
618
00:28:01,146 --> 00:28:05,583
But the truth is, I made a
commitment to Lily to be the
619
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:09,454
best COO I could possibly be --
and not only for her, but for my
620
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:11,289
mother, as well.
621
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:15,060
And, you know, I like a
challenge, and maybe I am trying
622
00:28:15,126 --> 00:28:17,695
to prove it to myself.
623
00:28:17,762 --> 00:28:20,899
I guess I feel most alive when
I'm swimming upstream.
624
00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:23,401
>> Chelsea: You were most alive
when you were doing our podcast.
625
00:28:23,468 --> 00:28:25,470
>> Billy: Well, then maybe I'm
one of those guys that never
626
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:28,973
feels settled, and I got a long,
colorful résumé to prove that.
627
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,241
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm.
628
00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:32,477
>> Billy: But that's something I
need to work on.
629
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:35,814
So, this is me working on it.
630
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:36,915
>> Chelsea: Huh.
631
00:28:36,981 --> 00:28:38,049
I think I'm like you.
632
00:28:38,116 --> 00:28:41,586
I just can't be content with
what I have and where I am.
633
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:43,188
>> Billy: Keep looking.
634
00:28:43,254 --> 00:28:46,291
I'm very confident you're gonna
find the place that you belong.
635
00:28:53,331 --> 00:28:53,798
>> Mariah: Oh, good.
636
00:28:53,865 --> 00:28:54,699
We didn't miss you.
637
00:28:54,766 --> 00:28:56,067
>> Tessa: Sorry we didn't get
here sooner.
638
00:28:56,134 --> 00:28:57,836
>> Sharon: Is everything okay?
639
00:28:57,902 --> 00:28:59,437
>> Mariah: Oh, yeah,
everything's fine.
640
00:28:59,504 --> 00:29:01,606
We'll gladly talk about
ourselves later, but right now
641
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:04,042
we are here for Faith.
642
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:06,444
>> Faith: Saying goodbye to you
two was the last thing on my
643
00:29:06,511 --> 00:29:07,078
list.
644
00:29:07,145 --> 00:29:07,912
>> Mariah: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
645
00:29:07,979 --> 00:29:09,047
No, no, no, no.
646
00:29:09,114 --> 00:29:11,516
This is not goodbye, okay?
647
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:15,053
This is just, "See you later,
college girl."
648
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,322
>> Tessa: Are we really doing
this?
649
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:21,426
We're sending Faith off into a
new frontier without any of us
650
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:22,427
to look out for her?
651
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,062
>> Faith: Look out for me?
652
00:29:24,129 --> 00:29:25,864
>> Mariah: See? Don't worry.
653
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:27,132
She's gonna be fine.
654
00:29:27,198 --> 00:29:28,166
She's gonna rock it.
655
00:29:28,233 --> 00:29:29,134
>> Nick: Couldn't agree more.
656
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,736
Our girl is ready for this.
657
00:29:31,803 --> 00:29:34,405
Even if the rest of us aren't.
658
00:29:36,674 --> 00:29:39,477
>> Victor: I, of all people, get
that you want to be your own
659
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:41,212
man.
660
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:44,382
But you're still a Newman, just
like your brother and your
661
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:45,483
sisters.
662
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:49,921
>> Adam: I have tried so hard
for so long to seek your
663
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:52,924
approval, Dad, and all I wanted
was to be my father's son.
664
00:29:52,991 --> 00:29:55,860
>> Victor: Adam, let's be honest
for a moment.
665
00:29:55,927 --> 00:29:59,964
I've protected you from the day
you came back to Genoa City.
666
00:30:00,031 --> 00:30:02,066
Although it was often not
appreciated.
667
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:03,535
>> Adam: Or wasn't asked for.
668
00:30:03,601 --> 00:30:05,403
>> Victor: Do I have to ask for
it?
669
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:06,804
You're my family, for heaven's
sake.
670
00:30:06,871 --> 00:30:10,475
>> Adam: It's time for me to
follow in my mother's footsteps.
671
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:12,410
>> Victor: What the hell does
that mean?
672
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:15,180
>> Adam: Look, I know that I've
never been and I never will be
673
00:30:15,246 --> 00:30:18,783
the good soul that my mother
was, but I'm talking about her
674
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:22,487
choice to end her relationship
with you and not fall into all
675
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:25,690
the trappings of being a
Newman -- or traps, I should
676
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:26,724
say.
677
00:30:26,791 --> 00:30:29,661
She wanted something happier and
healthier for me.
678
00:30:29,727 --> 00:30:31,963
That's why she raised me as a
Wilson.
679
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:35,200
>> Victor: That was her choice,
not mine.
680
00:30:35,266 --> 00:30:38,870
>> Adam: And -- And I resented
the fact that she waited until
681
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:41,873
her last breath to tell me that
you were my father.
682
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:43,708
But now I understand why she did
that.
683
00:30:43,775 --> 00:30:46,744
>> Victor: Do you know how often
I wanted to interfere and go
684
00:30:46,811 --> 00:30:50,014
there and say, "This is my son,
he comes with me to Genoa City"?
685
00:30:50,081 --> 00:30:51,883
Do you know how often I wanted
to do that?
686
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:52,917
I respected her wishes.
687
00:30:52,984 --> 00:30:53,851
That's why I didn't!
688
00:30:53,918 --> 00:30:54,953
I wish I had!
689
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:56,020
>> Adam: Listen, we --
>> Victor: None of this would be
690
00:30:56,087 --> 00:30:57,055
a problem right now!
691
00:30:57,121 --> 00:30:58,223
>> Adam: We don't have to go
down this path again!
692
00:30:58,289 --> 00:30:59,457
>> Victor: Yes, we do!
693
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:03,561
You need to understand that you
have never been disadvantaged!
694
00:31:03,628 --> 00:31:06,064
>> Adam: I'm talking about my
mother's choice to walk away,
695
00:31:06,130 --> 00:31:07,999
and now I'm making my choice.
696
00:31:08,066 --> 00:31:11,502
And I'm sorry that you can't
understand that or you can even
697
00:31:11,569 --> 00:31:14,606
be happy about my new venture.
698
00:31:14,672 --> 00:31:16,474
Guess that's a little too much
for you.
699
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:25,016
>> Victor: Then you follow your
new venture, alright?!
700
00:31:25,083 --> 00:31:27,685
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
701
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:33,491
>> Billy: Hey there.
>> Lily: Hey.
702
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,493
>> Billy: Sorry I missed your
call, but I got your message.
703
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,894
Is, uh, everything okay?
704
00:31:36,961 --> 00:31:37,695
>> Lily: Yeah, yeah. Hey.
705
00:31:37,762 --> 00:31:38,863
>> Billy: Hi.
706
00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:40,798
>> Lily: Um, I just wanted to
tell you the details of the
707
00:31:40,865 --> 00:31:44,269
Grand Phoenix acquisition and
let you know about my
708
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:45,303
conversation with Elena.
709
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:47,138
>> Billy: Oh. How did that go?
710
00:31:47,205 --> 00:31:50,241
>> Lily: Well, I think I'm
facing more of an uphill battle
711
00:31:50,308 --> 00:31:52,143
than I realized with Devon and
Nate.
712
00:31:52,210 --> 00:31:55,713
But I'm determined to do
whatever I can to unite them.
713
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:56,948
>> Billy: That's the spirit.
714
00:31:57,015 --> 00:31:59,017
Well, if anybody can do it, it's
gonna be you.
715
00:31:59,083 --> 00:32:00,585
And you have my full support.
716
00:32:00,652 --> 00:32:01,686
>> Lily: Aww.
717
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:03,388
Have I told you how much I love
when you have my back?
718
00:32:03,454 --> 00:32:04,289
>> Billy: You just did.
719
00:32:04,355 --> 00:32:06,758
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
So, where were you?
720
00:32:06,824 --> 00:32:09,727
>> Billy: Well, I had that
out-of-office meeting and then I
721
00:32:09,794 --> 00:32:12,730
was walking back and I ran into
Chelsea.
722
00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:16,134
We got to talking, and, uh,
that's why I was delayed.
723
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,369
>> Lily: Oh.
724
00:32:18,436 --> 00:32:19,804
Chelsea.
725
00:32:19,871 --> 00:32:22,874
>> Billy: "Oh," as in that's not
a big deal, or "Oh," as in
726
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:26,144
you're not happy that I spend
any time with her?
727
00:32:32,650 --> 00:32:34,852
>> Mariah: Well, we got you just
a little something for your new
728
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:37,689
campus digs, but don't open it
now, okay?
729
00:32:37,755 --> 00:32:38,990
Just open it when you get there.
730
00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:41,859
>> Tessa: That's code for, if
you open it now, Mariah will
731
00:32:41,926 --> 00:32:43,661
start crying and then I will
cry.
732
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:46,431
>> Faith: And that will set the
rest of us off, so I will wait.
733
00:32:46,497 --> 00:32:48,466
But thank you.
734
00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:51,269
I know I'll love it, whatever it
is.
735
00:32:51,336 --> 00:32:52,704
>> Nick: Alright, guys. Sorry.
736
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:54,972
We really should go.
737
00:32:58,810 --> 00:33:00,978
>> Faith: I love you both so
much.
738
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:02,747
>> Mariah: Not as much as we
love you.
739
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:05,283
>> Tessa: We're gonna miss you.
740
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:08,953
But this is not goodbye because
we're gonna be calling and
741
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:11,389
texting and we're gonna be
video-chatting.
742
00:33:11,456 --> 00:33:13,991
>> Tessa: Yeah, you're gonna be
so sick of hearing from us,
743
00:33:14,058 --> 00:33:15,560
you're gonna have to change
your number.
744
00:33:15,626 --> 00:33:16,928
>> Faith: Not possible.
745
00:33:16,994 --> 00:33:19,931
>> Sharon: Okay, uh...it's time.
746
00:33:19,997 --> 00:33:21,132
>> Faith: Bye.
747
00:33:21,199 --> 00:33:22,867
>> Tessa: Bye.
748
00:33:33,311 --> 00:33:36,581
>> Mariah: [ Sighs ]
[ Sniffles ]
749
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:42,587
>> Imani: [ Chuckles ]
>> Nate: What's going on in that
750
00:33:42,653 --> 00:33:43,788
head of yours?
751
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:45,790
I can practically see the wheels
spinning.
752
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:49,260
Go on. Spit it out.
753
00:33:49,327 --> 00:33:51,896
>> Imani: When you went off
script with your speech at the
754
00:33:51,963 --> 00:33:55,500
launch party, you proved to
everyone that your instincts are
755
00:33:55,566 --> 00:33:56,834
right on the money.
756
00:33:56,901 --> 00:33:59,537
You generated buzz and
excitement that would benefit
757
00:33:59,604 --> 00:34:00,104
the company.
758
00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:01,906
You went with your gut.
759
00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:05,843
And that is exactly what you
need to do now, but on a much
760
00:34:05,910 --> 00:34:06,978
bigger scale.
761
00:34:07,044 --> 00:34:08,679
>> Nate: How much bigger?
762
00:34:08,746 --> 00:34:12,483
>> Imani: I'm thinking, with
Devon out of town, you need to
763
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:15,686
make a major move that he cannot
ignore.
764
00:34:15,753 --> 00:34:18,589
Show everyone your ideas spell
success.
765
00:34:18,656 --> 00:34:19,957
>> Nate: I don't know about
that.
766
00:34:20,024 --> 00:34:21,692
>> Imani: Trust me.
767
00:34:21,759 --> 00:34:25,897
You need to make sure that Devon
knows exactly who you are and
768
00:34:25,963 --> 00:34:27,632
what you bring to the table.
769
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:35,239
>> Lily: Oh, I am fully aware
that we will run into Chelsea on
770
00:34:35,306 --> 00:34:36,574
a semi-regular basis.
771
00:34:36,641 --> 00:34:40,111
I just really hope there was no
uncomfortable "miscommunication"
772
00:34:40,178 --> 00:34:41,312
between you two this time.
773
00:34:41,379 --> 00:34:42,213
Was there?
774
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,247
>> Billy: There is nothing to
worry about.
775
00:34:43,314 --> 00:34:43,781
>> Lily: Okay.
776
00:34:43,848 --> 00:34:44,849
>> Billy: Okay?
777
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:46,818
I think she's a little
embarrassed that she took our
778
00:34:46,884 --> 00:34:49,120
camaraderie for something more
than friendship.
779
00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:50,154
>> Lily: Mm. Okay.
780
00:34:50,221 --> 00:34:51,856
I'm glad there's nothing more to
worry about.
781
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:53,925
>> Billy: There isn't. Honestly.
782
00:34:53,991 --> 00:34:58,196
Look, that only happened because
I think that Chelsea was having
783
00:34:58,262 --> 00:34:59,597
a bad day, you know?
784
00:34:59,664 --> 00:35:03,034
She's feeling a little bit lost,
and I'm feeling a little bit
785
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:06,103
guilty that I left her high and
dry when I walked away from the
786
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:07,505
podcast.
787
00:35:07,572 --> 00:35:09,974
>> Lily: Does that mean that
you're reconsidering your
788
00:35:10,041 --> 00:35:10,575
decision?
789
00:35:10,641 --> 00:35:11,542
>> Billy: No, no, no, no.
790
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:12,710
Absolutely not.
791
00:35:12,777 --> 00:35:15,847
I am here with you, and that's
exactly where I want to be.
792
00:35:15,913 --> 00:35:20,685
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
>> Billy: [ Smooches ]
793
00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:23,454
[ Sighs ]
>> Chelsea: Adam. Hi.
794
00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:35,166
>> Adam: Hi.
795
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:36,267
How you doing?
796
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:38,002
>> Chelsea: I'm doing great.
797
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:39,337
How are you?
798
00:35:39,403 --> 00:35:41,939
>> Adam: I'm good.
799
00:35:42,006 --> 00:35:44,642
I, uh...
800
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:45,776
I was just thinking about you.
801
00:35:45,843 --> 00:35:48,946
I was wondering if you had any
plans lined up.
802
00:35:49,013 --> 00:35:51,315
>> Chelsea: As a matter of fact,
I do.
803
00:35:51,382 --> 00:35:54,852
I want to go visit my mom in
Minnesota, and I want to take
804
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:56,420
Connor with me.
