it's been really helpful.
162
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:52,892
Cathartic, even.
[ Clears throat ]
163
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:57,063
So, I'm hoping to do it again
now...with you.
164
00:10:05,037 --> 00:10:09,442
>> Nick: I think we need to talk
about the elephant in the room.
165
00:10:09,508 --> 00:10:15,047
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
What elephant is that?
166
00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:19,151
>> Nick: Your Christmas Day
plans.
167
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:23,723
>> Sally: Must we?
I mean, why ruin a good time?
168
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:30,696
>> Nick: Look, um, I know we're
taking it slow, but I'd really,
169
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:37,370
really like to include you.
>> Sally: Thanks.
170
00:10:37,436 --> 00:10:42,274
But I have some complicated
feelings surrounding holiday
171
00:10:42,341 --> 00:10:47,380
celebrations.
Would it still be considered
172
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:51,884
taking it slow if I invited you
back to my suite for a nightcap
173
00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:57,456
for this conversation?
>> Nick: I think that's fair.
174
00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:03,896
>> Adam: No, Dad, okay?
It -- It was my idea to include
175
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:07,133
Chelsea.
My son deserves to be around the
176
00:11:07,199 --> 00:11:10,870
people he loves most without
bouncing between locations.
177
00:11:10,936 --> 00:11:21,113
>> Victor: Have a seat, son.
[ Breathes deeply ]
178
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:28,854
Look...I feel for the boy.
And I understand he wants to be
179
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:33,192
with his mother, especially
during the holidays.
180
00:11:33,259 --> 00:11:40,266
But you know that I can't forget
that she threw a wrench into
181
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:45,504
Victoria's life by insisting on
telling Johnny that she is his
182
00:11:45,571 --> 00:11:49,208
biological mother.
>> Adam: Chelsea didn't intend
183
00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:52,978
to wreck Victoria's life or
Johnny's life.
184
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:56,816
She had no idea how he was going
to respond.
185
00:11:56,882 --> 00:12:00,820
>> Victor: [ Sighs ]
How do I know that she isn't
186
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:04,423
using this opportunity to get
closer to Johnny, which would
187
00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:06,826
upset Victoria?
You know that.
188
00:12:06,892 --> 00:12:11,430
So...no, son, I --
I don't want her here.
189
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:17,703
>> Chloe: Chelsea, we are best
friends.
190
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:22,608
We're good.
I mean, if anyone needs to make
191
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:25,211
amends, it's me.
>> Chelsea: You?
192
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:28,647
>> Chloe: Yeah.
For blowing up the cabin
193
00:12:28,714 --> 00:12:33,219
with Adam in it.
And I'm still embarrassed about
194
00:12:33,285 --> 00:12:35,621
running away with Connor to
Paris all those years ago.
195
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:38,557
>> Chelsea: I appreciate you
saying all that.
196
00:12:38,624 --> 00:12:40,759
But this is about me making
amends.
197
00:12:40,826 --> 00:12:43,395
I have to do this.
And I'm actually not referencing
198
00:12:43,462 --> 00:12:44,763
stuff that happened a long time
ago.
199
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:48,501
I'm talking about this year.
>> Chloe: I thought we got past
200
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:50,469
all that.
>> Chelsea: I feel like I need
201
00:12:50,536 --> 00:12:55,274
to own up to my anger at you.
I blamed you for everything that
202
00:12:55,341 --> 00:12:59,078
went wrong at Newman Media
or Fenmore's.
203
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:03,482
You know, I rejected your
concern over my obsession over
204
00:13:03,549 --> 00:13:09,622
Adam and Sally and then Rey.
I didn't want to listen to
205
00:13:09,688 --> 00:13:12,725
anything you had to say.
I accused you of being a bad
206
00:13:12,791 --> 00:13:17,396
friend, when, really, you saw
the warning signs before anybody
207
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:21,700
else.
You confronted me.
208
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:25,171
You were willing to jeopardize
our friendship in order to force
209
00:13:25,237 --> 00:13:29,241
me to see the truth.
>> Chloe: I was just worried
210
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:33,078
about you.
>> Chelsea: I realize that now.
211
00:13:33,145 --> 00:13:38,284
You knew what was happening.
I was spinning.
212
00:13:38,350 --> 00:13:43,656
And I was pushing you away when,
really, you were just being the
213
00:13:43,722 --> 00:13:48,027
best kind of friend because you
were being an honest one.
214
00:13:48,093 --> 00:13:51,430
And I'm really sorry for
everything I put you through.
215
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:55,467
And I'm thankful, and I'm
grateful that you stuck with me.
216
00:13:55,534 --> 00:14:01,373
And I'm so grateful that you
still care about me.
217
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,011
>> Chloe: Apology accepted.
And I just want you to know
218
00:14:06,078 --> 00:14:14,486
that [sniffles] I just want us
to let go of the past and focus
219
00:14:14,553 --> 00:14:20,326
on the present and the future
and about you getting better so
220
00:14:20,392 --> 00:14:23,963
you can reach your full
potential.
221
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:28,734
I am here for whatever you need,
and I just want to try to help
222
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:34,673
you find your purpose.
>> Chelsea: I know.
223
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:36,642
[ Chuckles ]
224
00:14:41,513 --> 00:14:43,649
>> Sharon: Alright, guys, here
you go.
225
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,351
>> Tessa: Oh, what's all this?
>> Sharon: Mmm!
226
00:14:45,417 --> 00:14:48,887
>> Mariah: Well, I thought we
could use some delicious holiday
227
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:53,058
treats to celebrate our
decorating.
228
00:14:53,125 --> 00:14:54,393
>> Noah: Guess I'm a little
late.
229
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:55,894
This place seems like it's
already done.
230
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:57,096
>> Sharon: Hey!
>> Mariah: Hey!
231
00:14:57,162 --> 00:15:00,532
No, no, no, we are not done
until we get your professional
232
00:15:00,599 --> 00:15:03,202
seal of approval.
>> Noah: You got it.
233
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:04,937
Looks great to me.
>> Mariah: Mm-hmm.
234
00:15:05,004 --> 00:15:07,039
And the tree topper?
>> Noah: Yeah.
235
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:08,574
Yeah, I like that you guys went
with something a little more
236
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,576
subtle.
And you definitely earned this
237
00:15:10,643 --> 00:15:12,077
little cookie break you're about
to take.
238
00:15:12,144 --> 00:15:16,081
>> Mariah: And also because Mom
is missing Faith right now.
239
00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:20,019
So, I was wondering -- maybe you
have something a little stronger
240
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:23,756
than cocoa, maybe one of
Glam Club's new, fabulous
241
00:15:23,822 --> 00:15:25,057
holiday cocktails?
>> Sharon: Yeah?
242
00:15:25,124 --> 00:15:27,493
>> Noah: Sorry. I don't.
>> Sharon: Ohh!
243
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,795
>> Tessa: Well, we're meeting
with a pregnant woman after
244
00:15:29,862 --> 00:15:32,364
New Year's to discuss the
possibility of adoption.
245
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:35,367
>> Sharon: Oh, really?
That's amazing!
246
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:38,337
>> Tessa: Yeah.
>> Sharon: That's great!
247
00:15:38,404 --> 00:15:42,708
Uh, Mariah? What's wrong?
>> Tessa: Oh, no. Did I blow it?
248
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:44,810
I'm sorry.
I know we agreed not to say
249
00:15:44,877 --> 00:15:45,377
anything.
250
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:58,190
>> Sally: I don't want you to
feel obligated to include me in
251
00:15:58,257 --> 00:16:00,125
your Christmas plans.
Joining your family for the
252
00:16:00,192 --> 00:16:03,595
holidays is not in the
"taking it slow" manual.
253
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:07,866
I checked.
>> Nick: I would absolutely love
254
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:12,538
to bring you to the ranch for
Christmas, but my sister and
255
00:16:12,604 --> 00:16:15,474
parents have some trust issues
where you're concerned.
256
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:19,511
>> Sally: I'm not surprised.
Victoria fired me, and even
257
00:16:19,578 --> 00:16:21,680
though I tried to withstand
Victor's judgment whenever I
258
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:26,752
worked at Newman, I know I never
really won him over.
259
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:31,090
>> Nick: Actually, it's, uh --
it's worse than that.
260
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:35,160
>> Sally: How so?
>> Nick: Uh, my dad had a
261
00:16:35,227 --> 00:16:42,334
dossier prepared of your time in
L.A. to try and scare me off.
262
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:45,137
>> Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]
>> Adam: Look, I'm -- I'm
263
00:16:45,204 --> 00:16:48,073
telling you that Chelsea doesn't
have any ulterior motives.
264
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:50,743
If anything, I'm hoping that
she'll put aside her qualms and
265
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:53,645
hesitations about being in your
home after everything that you
266
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:56,115
did to her.
>> Victor: What do you mean,
267
00:16:56,181 --> 00:16:59,451
after everything I did to her?
What are you talking about?
268
00:16:59,518 --> 00:17:03,322
>> Adam: I'm talking about you
forcing her to fake a mental
269
00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:06,992
breakdown over poisoning Rey to
get her institutionalized.
270
00:17:07,059 --> 00:17:09,495
>> Victor: Are you forgetting I
did it for her benefit, for
271
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:12,798
heaven sake?
I prevented her from being
272
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:16,402
criminally prosecuted for nearly
killing a man and then blaming
273
00:17:16,468 --> 00:17:18,437
you for it.
>> Adam: Okay, look, I'm not
274
00:17:18,504 --> 00:17:20,973
here to fight or dredge up some
old history.
275
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:24,910
I'm here to make a plea for my
family on Christmas.
276
00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:28,881
My family, something you claim
And as far as Johnny's
277
00:17:28,947 --> 00:17:31,383
concerned, he and Connor have
actually grown closer since
278
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:33,719
finding out they're biological
brothers.
279
00:17:33,786 --> 00:17:37,656
So, I think it'd be good for
them to spend, uh, some holiday
280
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:42,227
time together.
I know Connor would like to be
281
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:47,900
around all of his family on
>> Victor: Remember, son, you
282
00:17:47,966 --> 00:17:51,804
were coming to see me to ask me
a favor, okay?
283
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:56,809
So watch your tone.
Now, if this means as much as
284
00:17:56,875 --> 00:18:00,712
you say it does to you and to
Connor...
285
00:18:00,779 --> 00:18:07,486
then you're welcome.
Chelsea can tag along, okay?
286
00:18:07,553 --> 00:18:12,858
>> Adam: I appreciate that.
>> Victor: Good.
287
00:18:12,925 --> 00:18:17,296
You should.
>> Chloe: Ahh.
288
00:18:17,362 --> 00:18:19,832
I mean, how long has it been
since we've just hung out like
289
00:18:19,898 --> 00:18:22,968
two girlfriends, laughing,
crying?
290
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:26,305
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm.
>> Chloe: Ahh, I...
291
00:18:26,371 --> 00:18:31,877
I really miss this.
And I just have to say, as your
292
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:36,648
most honest friend, I can see
that you are doing a lot better.
293
00:18:36,715 --> 00:18:38,951
>> Chelsea: I am.
You know, at first I was faking
294
00:18:39,017 --> 00:18:42,120
it to make it, you know, just
putting it on a front so
295
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:44,122
everyone wouldn't be so worried
about me.
296
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:47,392
But now I'm feeling stronger.
>> Chloe: That's so good to
297
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:49,461
hear.
>> Chelsea: What I went through
298
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:54,099
was a real wake-up call for me.
So [sighs] figuring out my new
299
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:57,436
purpose, whatever that may be,
is part of my new journey.
300
00:18:57,503 --> 00:19:00,339
>> Chloe: Well, like I said
before, whatever you need,
301
00:19:00,405 --> 00:19:03,008
I'm here.
>> Chelsea: What I think I need
302
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:07,546
is a total and complete personal
and professional makeover.
303
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:10,015
[ Laughs ]
So, I will keep you posted
304
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:13,886
because I'm definitely gonna
need your help because this time
305
00:19:13,952 --> 00:19:19,157
I'm gonna get it right.
>> Tessa: I am so sorry.
306
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,527
>> Mariah: [ Sighs ]
>> Tessa: I got carried away.
307
00:19:21,593 --> 00:19:24,263
And, honestly, I didn't think
you would mind me telling
308
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:26,231
Sharon and Noah.
>> Mariah: It's fine.
309
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:30,502
I'm not mad. I just...
I don't want to get everyone's
310
00:19:30,569 --> 00:19:32,838
hopes up just have them dashed
again.
311
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:35,140
>> Sharon: You mean you don't
want to get your own hopes up,
312
00:19:35,207 --> 00:19:41,046
You know, you're on this roller
coaster of emotion.
313
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:44,950
You just have to hang in there
through the ups and downs.
314
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:47,352
>> Mariah: I just have all of
these maternal instincts kicking
315
00:19:47,419 --> 00:19:53,625
in.
I -- I find myself sitting there
316
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:58,163
and fantasizing about having
this child in my arms, thinking
317
00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:59,665
about what time of year they're
gonna be born.
318
00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:05,704
Is it gonna be a boy or a girl?
I've even decorated the nursery
319
00:20:05,771 --> 00:20:12,010
in my head.

haven't told Victor and Nikki
480
00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:02,760
about your recent
hospitalization.
481
00:31:02,827 --> 00:31:05,096
I figured you should be the one
to decide what you want to say
482
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:08,499
and who you want to say it to.
It's your choice, so it's not
483
00:31:08,566 --> 00:31:11,202
gonna come from me.
I'm sure Victoria feels the same
484
00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:15,073
way.
>> Chelsea: I appreciate that.
485
00:31:15,139 --> 00:31:18,276
I talked to my therapist about
it, and she agrees.
486
00:31:18,343 --> 00:31:21,312
You know, I have to be in charge
of telling the people that I
487
00:31:21,379 --> 00:31:24,749
want when I want.
Plus, I really wouldn't want to
488
00:31:24,816 --> 00:31:27,885
add to the drama [chuckling] at
that family event anyway.
489
00:31:27,952 --> 00:31:29,754
[ Sighs ]
>> Adam: Well, don't worry.
490
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:32,924
I'll be close.
I'll be your wingman.
491
00:31:32,991 --> 00:31:35,493
So, if you want to get out of
there, just say the word and we
492
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,363
will leave.
>> Chelsea: Thank you for your
493
00:31:38,429 --> 00:31:42,634
support and all your help with
Connor.
494
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:46,471
I know this whole thing hasn't
been easy on you, especially
495
00:31:46,537 --> 00:31:50,942
since Billy's been involved.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
496
00:31:51,009 --> 00:31:54,279
>> Chelsea: So, while we're
talking about open, honest
497
00:31:54,345 --> 00:32:01,919
conversation, is there anything
you want to say about that?
498
00:32:01,986 --> 00:32:04,622
>> Victor: What do you know
about the Chelsea situation?
499
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:08,159
>> Nikki: Victoria said that
Chelsea has been in a bad place,
500
00:32:08,226 --> 00:32:11,329
and I assumed it had to do with
Johnny's initial reaction in
501
00:32:11,396 --> 00:32:13,731
hearing that she was his
biological mother.
502
00:32:13,798 --> 00:32:16,901
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
Well, I hear that Johnny and
503
00:32:16,968 --> 00:32:20,071
Connor are getting along quite
well together now.
504
00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:23,541
>> Nikki: Yeah.
Connor mentioned Johnny when we
505
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:25,810
were trimming the tree.
I think they have become closer.
506
00:32:25,877 --> 00:32:30,715
>> Victor: Yeah.
Well, according to Adam, it
507
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:33,351
would do both Chelsea and Connor
good to spend the holidays with
508
00:32:33,418 --> 00:32:37,388
us.
>> Nikki: Well, you know, I feel
509
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:40,692
all families should be together
on the holidays.
510
00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:44,762
>> Victor: I know you do, baby.
>> Nikki: That's why it's good
511
00:32:44,829 --> 00:32:46,497
that Adam wants to be here with
us.
512
00:32:46,564 --> 00:32:49,233
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
>> Nikki: I know how happy you
513
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,869
would be if you were able to
bring him back into the family
514
00:32:51,936 --> 00:32:53,971
fold.
>> Victor: Well, that's up to
515
00:32:54,038 --> 00:32:57,542
Adam, you know?
He's the one who turned his back
516
00:32:57,608 --> 00:33:01,412
on us.
He's the one who decided to join
517
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:04,015
Jabot of all places instead of
Newman.
518
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:09,854
So, if he wants to be back in
the fold, then let him make the
519
00:33:09,921 --> 00:33:14,258
move.
>> Nikki: Perhaps him choosing
520
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:18,363
to be with us on Christmas is a
first step.
521
00:33:18,429 --> 00:33:24,669
>> Victor: Yeah.
Yeah.
522
00:33:34,579 --> 00:33:37,882
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
Well, uh, so much for taking it
523
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:39,283
slow.
>> Nick: Yeah.
524
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:46,524
Did we even make it 24 hours?
[ Smooches ]
525
00:33:46,591 --> 00:33:50,361
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
I really don't want to interfere
526
00:33:50,428 --> 00:33:53,030
with your family plans for
Christmas.
527
00:33:53,097 --> 00:33:56,234
It's one day.
I'll be fine.
528
00:33:56,300 --> 00:34:03,608
>> Nick: Mm.
You know what?
529
00:34:03,674 --> 00:34:10,448
I'm more than happy to change my
plans...for you.
530
00:34:10,515 --> 00:34:15,586
So, how about if I spend some
time with my family, make sure
531
00:34:15,653 --> 00:34:20,825
Christian's happy...
and then I am all yours.
532
00:34:20,892 --> 00:34:27,765
We'll do something special.
Just the two of us.
533
00:34:27,832 --> 00:34:32,670
>> Sally: That sounds perfect.
>> Nick: Yeah.
534
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:39,610
>> Adam: All that matters is
your recovery, Chelsea.
535
00:34:39,677 --> 00:34:45,283
So, if Billy Abbott can help
facilitate that, I have no
536
00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:48,653
problem with it.
>> Chelsea: You mean that?
537
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:53,658
>> Adam: I do.
[ Sighs ]
538
00:34:53,724 --> 00:34:59,397
You know, your strength and your
bravery through this whole
539
00:34:59,464 --> 00:35:04,101
thing -- I mean the way that you
faced it head on with honesty
540
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:10,374
and integrity -- inspired me.
So it's only fair that I be
541
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:17,014
equally honest with you.
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
542
00:35:17,081 --> 00:35:19,450
What about you?
How you doing this holiday
543
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:21,319
season, huh?
>> Adam: Ahh.
544
00:35:21,385 --> 00:35:24,355
>> Chelsea: I know your break-up
with Sally is still very fresh.
545
00:35:24,422 --> 00:35:26,824
And even though I'm not her
biggest fan, I could see that
546
00:35:26,891 --> 00:35:28,659
the two of you had something
special.
547
00:35:28,726 --> 00:35:33,598
So, how you feeling about all
that?
548
00:35:33,664 --> 00:35:38,135
>> Adam: Well, I will admit I do
have moments of self-pity and
549
00:35:38,202 --> 00:35:42,106
loneliness.
But I'm trying to focus on what
550
00:35:42,173 --> 00:35:47,111
I've got -- a wonderful son with
a caring mother.
551
00:35:47,178 --> 00:35:52,850
So, I think this holiday,
both of us should
552
00:35:52,917 --> 00:35:54,318
just focus on our family.
