[ Door opens and closes ] >> Victoria: Thanks, all, for
coming.
I wanted to meet because I have some deep concerns about
Tucker McCall.
I know that we have all speculated about his real reason
for returning to Genoa City ever since he landed on the Abbott
lawn.
His interactions around town were intended to make us believe
that he wanted to reunite with Ashley and Devon and to exploit
the Chancellor-Winters IPO.
>> Nick: Well, in all fairness, we wanted to do the same thing.
>> Victoria: Yes, true, but since then, he has completely
failed both at his personal and his professional goals.
>> Nikki: Well, he lost any hope of a reunion with Ashley the
minute she boarded that plane for Paris.
>> Nick: Judging from what I've heard from Abby, Devon found out
what Tucker was up to and no longer wants anything to do
with him.
So, he struck out on all three fronts.
You're probably wondering why is he still in town and what his
next move is.
>> Victoria: Yes.
I had a conversation with him where he implied that he was
looking for another target, which means that we all have to
be vigilant about his movements, at least while he's here.
>> Victor: Well, now I've acquired some information about
that man which may throw some light on his motives.
[ Knocking on door ] >> Chelsea: Hey.
>> Billy: Hi.
Um, I was just in the neighborhood, thought I'd come
by and say hi and, you know, maybe spitball some ideas about
the podcast.
>> Chelsea: Not sure that's a good idea.
>> Billy: Okay.
Um, if you're busy, I can -- I can come back later.
>> Chelsea: Actually, I'm thinking the entire podcast
might not be a good idea.
♪♪ ♪♪
>> Audra: What a waste of time.
Okay, why was Phyllis pitching us if she didn't even have a
right to approach us with her son's project?
>> Nate: You know, I actually admire her brazenness.
And I'm intrigued by Daniel's gaming platform.
If it's on unsteady ground at Chancellor-Winters, there may be
something to pursue.
>> Audra: I can't see how.
Having been privy to Chancellor-Winters' legal
contracts, I can tell you those things are ironclad.
Yeah, I don't think Daniel can get out of his unless the
company decides to release him.
You know, and if Lily's reaction to Phyllis shopping around his
idea was any indication, I don't think that's gonna happen, which
means we'd be wasting time, energy, resources by going
after it.
>> Nate: Mm.
Exactly how much access did you have to Chancellor-Winters'
legal contracts, when it comes to projects like Daniel's?
>> Daniel: Why would you take it upon yourself to go to Nate to
pitch my project to him when I explicitly told you that I
wasn't ready to give up on the deal with Lily and
Chancellor-Winters?
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, you said that that company was putting
your project on hold.
>> Daniel: When I told you that things were shaky over there, I
thought I was confiding in my mother and not some opportunist
who was gonna go and shop my idea behind my back.
>> Phyllis: "Opportunist"?
Seriously?
That's how you see me?
Listen, I just went to Newman Media 'cause, you know, I
was doing it as an exploratory thing, you know, to sort of whet
their appetite.
And I think I did.
We need to have alternatives if this thing crashes in.
I mean, we need to have a backup plan.
>> Daniel: Okay, you need to stop talking like this is ours.
This is my platform, mine alone.
And I'm not gonna trust virtual strangers with my dream project.
[ Sighs ]
>> Phyllis: All right, listen, Daniel, the Newmans are hardly
strangers.
Nick was your stepfather.
>> Daniel: Well, nonetheless, I'm wary of getting involved
with any Newman-run company.
I mean, I got to tell you, the worst part about this is you
shared privileged information.
I mean, I poured my heart out to you and Dad.
I told you how much this project means to me, why I need this so
bad, and not just on a professional level.
I mean, I can't just ignore the fact that you have compromised
my intellectual property.
Now any person or any company that you spoke with about it --
they can take my ideas and they can run with them before I ever
get Omega Sphere off the ground.
>> Phyllis: Okay. Okay.
I'm sorry.
I -- I -- Listen, I only spoke to Nate
and -- and his COO because, uh, it seems like Chancellor-Winters
is shelving this project indefinitely.
And I know what that does to you.
Listen, I want to see your vision come to fruition.
And I didn't say anything risky to Nate.
I didn't say anything risky.
Really.
I didn't even talk to the rest of the Newmans about it.
>> Daniel: What about Tucker McCall?
>> Phyllis: What about Tucker McCall?
I mean, Tucker just overheard me leaving a message for Nate.
Honestly, Tucker -- I wouldn't give him a sip of water if he
was in the middle of a desert.
>> Daniel: Hmm. Okay.
So, you only shared information with the man who sold out his
cousins to give Newman the opportunity to acquire a
majority holding of Chancellor-Winters.
That's great.
No, I just never thought that you would go and do this with
Nate without asking me first.
I -- I don't know.
That's my mistake for thinking the best of you.
>> Phyllis: What?
You don't mean that.
Daniel. Okay, I'm sorry.
Oh, my gosh. I overreacted.
Give me a break.
I care about this project for you.
I just want the best for you.
That's all.
>> Daniel: Fair enough.
But if my platform ever needs a new home, which it doesn't yet,
it's my call who we go with, okay?
My call.
And if I'm being honest with you, right now, if I had to
choose, Tucker looks like the better option instead of
Newman Media.
>> Billy: So, what made you think that the podcast might not
be a good idea?
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I had my therapy session with
Dr. Malone.
I told her my idea, and she thinks it's too soon to venture
into something so personal and intimate.
>> Billy: Mm.
>> Chelsea: Reliving the trauma of my suicide attempt before
I've finished processing it could be a potential minefield
for me.
>> Billy: Well, I'm sure that was disappointing, but I -- I
understand what she's saying.
>> Chelsea: Well, I was disappointed...until I talked
it through with Dr. Malone.
She said that it's actually a really good thing that I wanted
to do the podcast.
It means I'm focused on my recovery and I am trying to pay
it forward and I'm focusing on the future, which is something I
couldn't say a few months ago.
So...
All of this is about my recovery, right?
So [sighs] how can I be disappointed?
>> Billy: Hmm.
>> Victor: Well, now, I asked Michael Baldwin to look into
Tucker McCall's claim that he was a reformed man when he
landed in Genoa City.
>> Victoria: What did he find out?
>> Victor: Apparently, McCall's lavish lifestyle -- spending
money left and right -- has put his company under a mountain of
debt.
>> Nikki: How is that possible?
The last we knew, he was selling off parts of his company in
order to secure capital to buy out Chancellor-Winters' stock.
I mean, you would think he would have some liquid assets
available.
>> Victor: That's what we all assumed, but then he took out a
number of short-term loans.
That's how short he was of his agenda.
>> Nick: Could just be a desperation move to stabilize
his empire.
>> Victor: But those debts are coming due.
So I think what he's doing -- he's looking for a lucrative
company to keep him afloat.
>> Audra: I told you I didn't know the details of Daniel's
deal.
My insider info was limited to things pertaining directly to
the IPO, nothing connected with development or creative
planning.
>> Nate: You never heard anything around the office?
>> Audra: Uh, I knew Lily and Devon were discussing building
an entire gaming division around the idea Daniel was developing.
I was also aware that they were preparing a press release
towards the end of my tenure with them.
Since it never came out, I'm assuming they hit a standstill.
>> Nate: Hmm.
Interesting.
>> Audra: Why are you asking me all this?
Are you thinking of poaching Daniel from Chancellor-Winters?
Or stealing his idea?
>> Nate: No.
No, I'm just curious.
I would definitely like to know what's going on at
Chancellor-Winters that would make this project so precarious.
I'm sure it has something to do with Devon.
His inability to collaborate or take chances is probably
bringing the entire company to its knees.
>> Audra: Why do you still care so much about your family's
company?
If I remember correctly, you were quite adamant about putting
your time there behind you.
>> Nate: You're right.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
You know, it's too bad you burned your bridge with them,
too.
It would have been nice to have some inside information.
>> Audra: We both burned our bridges at Chancellor-Winters.
If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here.
>> Nate: You're right.
So I'm glad you did.
>> Audra: Even if I disagree with you about going after the
gaming platform?
>> Nate: Look, let's get something straight.
I appreciate your input.
I'm not afraid of being challenged.
I like to hear different points of view so I can make an
informed decision.
>> Audra: And I'm willing to support you 100% if you feel
strongly about something, even if our opinions differ.
But let me ask you this.
If you're not ready to let go of the idea and if we have no
insider information to help us sign Daniel, how would you go
about pursuing him?
>> Nate: I say we sit the guy down and sell him on
Newman Media, show him why we're a better, much more stable,
fit for his venture.
[ Cellphone chimes ] >> Audra: [ Sighs ]
>> Nate: Everything okay?
>> Audra: Yeah.
Uh, can we finish this discussion in a little bit?
I have to go take care of something.
[ Door opens ] [ Sighs ]
>> Billy: Well, that is a great attitude to have, positive and
accepting of Dr. Malone's advice.
I remember a time when if someone said no to your idea,
you'd fall down the rabbit hole.
>> Chelsea: Exactly.
And that wasn't that long ago.
>> Billy: Well, look at how far you've come.
That's a good thing.
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ] >> Chelsea: I heard what she had
to say, and it's just not the right time for a podcast.
>> Billy: You know, uh, I got to say, when you first told me the
idea about the podcast, I did share some of Dr. Malone's
concerns.
But this is your recovery, this is your process, and I just want
to be supportive.
>> Chelsea: And you have been.
You're more in tune with what's good or bad for me than you
realize.
And I want you to know, I really appreciate hearing your honest,
unfiltered thoughts.
I know I have to run everything by Dr. Malone, but I -- I feel
like I'm ready to start opening myself up again to feedback,
even if it's negative.
So, receiving it from somebody that I know cares about me --
that could definitely cushion the blow.
>> Billy: Well, I appreciate your vote of confidence,
although I'm not sure you should be taking my advice.
I have screwed up plenty of times, and I'm still playing it
by ear.
>> Chelsea: Aren't we all?
>> Phyllis: Daniel, Tucker McCall is not a good guy.
He is a snake.
>> Daniel: Well, at least he's true to form.
And he's a smart and intuitive businessman.
And he made a lot of salient points.
He understood that there could be a crossover between our
business and our personal lives.
Look, I got to tell you, without me even saying anything, he
already knew that Lucy and Heather leaving me was a big
part of why I created this whole gaming experience and a way for
me to heal.
>> Phyllis: Oh, a way for you to heal.
Really?
Oh, my goodness.
He's manipulating you.
He's very good at reading people.
He's very good at reading people and then manipulating them to do
what he wants.
>> Daniel: Or another way of looking at it is that he showed
some insight.
And McCall Unlimited -- they have all the resources and
infrastructure we need to hit the ground running.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, a lot of companies would.
>> Daniel: Yeah, a lot of companies do, but with McCall,
I'd be dealing directly with Tucker -- one guy, less hoops to
jump through, and more autonomy.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, he'd be holding all the hoops.
You know this.
And if you start working with him and your agenda is different
than his agenda, it's war.
>> Daniel: I'm not naive.
I know his reputation.
But I don't judge people for the worst thing they've ever done.
And he seemed genuine in his enthusiasm for my vision.
>> Phyllis: Of course he is -- because your vision is
brilliant, because you're brilliant, Daniel.
He wants to be a part of that.
He is not real.
He is not a genuine guy.
>> Daniel: You know, Omega Sphere is supposed to be
about changing people's lives, right?
Giving the opportunity to grow and be better.
I think that if Tucker is willing to do that in his own
life, then he might be the better alternative than
Newman Media.
If -- If we need one.
I'm not ready to jump ship yet.
I trust Lily to come through.
>> Victor: Well, Michael Baldwin is still trying to find out what
Tucker McCall's true motives are.
I mean, how is he gonna regain solid footing without selling
his entire company?
He has no backing, no bank supporting him at the moment.
I think the walls are closing in on him.
>> Nick: There's something else we should be worried about.
Newman Media recently hired Audra Charles.
Now, Nate told Victoria that she was working with Tucker to leak
information about the Chancellor-Winters IPO.
So we need to be very wary of her allegiances.
Despite what she's told us, I wouldn't put deception past her.
We still don't know the status of her and Tucker's
relationship.
They could still be aligned.
>> Nikki: We need to keep Audra at a distance until we know if
we can trust her.
>> Victor: Well, let's think about that for a moment.
I think it might be to our advantage if she keeps working
with Tucker McCall.
>> Victoria: I think Dad's right.
I think we need to stay on the offense, turn the tables, force
him to be on his guard around us.
>> Nikki: Are you saying you think we should go after
McCall Unlimited?
>> Victoria: I am.
And we were looking for a way to expand by taking over
Chancellor-Winters.
That door has closed, so maybe another one is opening.
>> Nick: I don't think that's the right move at all.
If Tucker's struggling, it could make him an even more dangerous
adversary, and we all know what he's capable of.
Tucker could be very close to crumbling on his own.
If that's the case, then we just let him do it.
And then Newman Enterprises swoops in, takes up all the
pieces as his company falls apart.
To blatantly go after him right now seems too risky.
>> Victor: Or it's a golden opportunity.
His divisions fold nicely into our portfolio.
>> Nick: If we succeed in taking them over.
>> Victor: Son, have you ever known me to go into battle
without believing I'd win?
>> Nick: I'm not dismissing the idea, Dad.
I just think we need to carefully weigh the pros and
cons before we make the move.
Vick, we really got to go.
We're late for that meeting with VPs.
>> Victoria: But I would like to revisit this sooner rather than
later.
It's a good opportunity.
I wouldn't want to see it slip away.
[ Door closes ] >> Audra: I was surprised to
hear from you.
Last time we spoke, you wanted nothing to do with me.
>> Tucker: Yeah.
I let my temper get the best of me.
I apologize.
It's a part of myself that I really don't like and I'm trying
to evolve past.
[ Sighs ] But, um...I miss -- I miss our
conversations and -- and your take on things.
And I'm in a bit of a crossroads now, and I could use some of
that.
>> Audra: So, you called me here to entertain you.
>> Tucker: No. No.
>> Audra: Then you want some kind of information out of me?
>> Tucker: [ Chuckles ] When did you get so cynical?
>> Audra: The day I met you.
You know, I've known you way too long to fall for this "Let's
have an innocent chat" line, okay?
Just get to the point.
>> Tucker: Uh [clears throat] I was actually wondering if you
knew anything about Newman Media's pursuit of
Daniel Romalotti's new gaming platform.
>> Audra: Ah!
There it is.
You want me to use my connections and resources to
collude with you again?
I'd think you would have more important things to do, like,
um, fly to Paris and beg Ashley for forgiveness or mending the
rift with your son.
Wait.
Now I'm starting to think that everything you told me about
coming to Genoa City to repair your relationships with them
was absolute B.S.
>> Tucker: No. No.
My desire to make things right with them was and still is
sincere.
>> Audra: Ah.
>> Tucker: Yeah, but dwelling and sulking are not in my
nature, so I need to keep moving forward.
And this -- this gaming project seems intriguing to me.
>> Audra: Keep your hands off that.
If anyone is gonna snatch it away from Chancellor-Winters,
it's gonna be Newman Media.
>> Tucker: [ Laughs ] I got to say, the idea of
competing with you on it makes it even more interesting.
I miss you, Audra.
I miss our partnership.
And we were good friends, right?
>> Audra: We were.
But you blew it.
>> Tucker: I know I did.
I'm sorry.
>> Audra: Hey.
>> Tucker: Can we hit reset?
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ] Thanks for, uh -- for joining
me.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Billy: Felt like I needed to get some fresh air, you know,
clear my head a little.
>> Chelsea: Mm. I did, too.
I was getting a little antsy in the apartment.
And it's nice to finally want to go out and want to go
somewhere.
[ Sighs heavily ] >> Billy: It's a crisp,
beautiful day.
>> Chelsea: It is.
So, why do you have to clear your head?
Is something on your mind?
>> Billy: No, nothing in particular, really.
I guess I'm just, you know, thinking about you and your
desire to find your purpose.
That's not an easy thing to do.
>> Chelsea: Mm.
>> Billy: Trust me.
I've failed at it repeatedly.
>> Chelsea: Hey, don't talk about my friend like that.
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ] >> Chelsea: I don't know.
I think the key to finding peace isn't just [sighs] figuring out
what your purpose is.
It's figuring out what your purpose isn't.
And you are doing that work.
You're narrowing it down.
You're -- You're giving yourself space to explore, you know?
I believe that you shouldn't just choose between things that
people offer you.
You need to trust yourself and pave your own path.
>> Billy: That's a very generous perspective of my life.
>> Chelsea: [ Laughs ] >> Daniel: Lily has been one of
the truest and most genuine people that I've known for as
long as I can remember.
If anyone can be trusted, it's her.
>> Phyllis: Listen, I really like Lily.
I do.
And I understand that you have loyalty toward her.
I totally get where that comes from.
But it just seems to me that her company is imploding.
I really think you should get out while you can.
>> Daniel: Huh.
Well, this is just a little bit ironic, don't you think?
I mean, it seems like you're sitting here telling me that I
should cut all ties before they drag me down.
You literally just let an old grudge ruin your career and your
relationship with Summer.
>> Phyllis: Okay. Okay.
Daniel, everything that I said and I predicted about that
situation proved that I was correct.
>> Daniel: That's great.
That's fantastic.
What did being right get you?
[ Sighs ] [ Door closes ]
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Billy: You know, I've had a lot of time to think.
I don't have a job.
Living alone at the Grand Phoenix, you know, plenty
of time to ponder my loneliness, my likes, my dislikes, my joys,
despair.
I've had a lot of sobering moments.
But, you know, it's like I said last time we were hanging out.
When I see you, it's, uh -- you know, it's like a highlight of
my day.
I guess I'm realizing in all of this that we've -- we've lived
parallel lives for quite some time.
>> Chelsea: Well, that's kind of a stretch.
[ Both chuckle ] >> Billy: Well, maybe my issues
haven't been quite as intensive as yours, but, you know, there
are similarities there, both emotionally and mentally.
You know, this -- this journey that we're on --
I don't know.
I guess that's maybe why we connect.
I guess what I'm saying is I'm very grateful for this
friendship.
>> Nate: Everything okay?
>> Audra: Yeah, absolutely.
Ready to jump back in.
>> Nate: Whatever you had to do seemed to put a pep in your
step.
>> Audra: Oh, I, uh, had to put some issues from my past to bed.
And, um, yeah...I feel good.
>> Nate: I hope this brush with the past doesn't involve
anything that might take you away from Newman and back to
London.
>> Audra: I'm not looking for a new gig.
I like it here.
But it's good to know that I'm valued.
And I'm coming around the idea of going after Omega Sphere.
>> Nate: Really?
Great.
>> Audra: So let's put our heads together and figure out a way.
[ Knock on door ]
>> Victor: Baby, you have been
awfully quiet since we broached the subject of potentially
acquiring Tucker McCall's company.
>> Nikki: I'm hoping that Michael will find something that
will make a takeover less hostile and risky.
>> Victor: I'm still in favor of making a move on his company.
>> Nikki: Well, I can certainly see the upside for us, although
Newman Enterprises really isn't lacking in anything right now.
And for Victoria, I know for her it's more the love of the game,
which she inherited from you.
What I don't understand is why you seem to be so invested in
this.
>> Victor: Baby, you just said that Victoria inherited her love
of the game from me.
Doesn't that explain everything?
>> Nikki: Not this time.
>> Victor: Hmm.
>> Nikki: It seems like you are specifically going after
Tucker McCall.
And if that's the case...
I want to know why.
>> Nick: I am glad that didn't take long.
>> Victoria: I know.
The VP meetings are much more efficient when we eliminate all
the small talk at the beginning.
>> Nick: Agreed.
Thank you, Andy.
What looks good to you?
I'm starving.
>> Victoria: Before we worry about what we're gonna eat, I
have to ask you -- why are you not sold on this Tucker idea?
I mean, the upside is enormous.
The reach of McCall Unlimited is international, and having
that brand under the Newman umbrella, it would just solidify
our position in the global community.
Plus, snatching Tucker's company out from underneath him would be
delicious karma, especially after all of his past lies and
machinations.
>> Nick: That's all true, but something about this doesn't
sit right with me.
I can't shake the feeling that this is all part of a bigger
plan that Dad's put in motion by telling us about it.
>> Victoria: Well, that wouldn't be the first time.
>> Nick: Doesn't make it alright.
>> Victoria: Anything else troubling you?
>> Nick: [ Sighs ] What do you mean?
>> Victoria: I don't know.
Call it sisterly intuition, but I feel like you've been carrying
around this personal weight all day.
Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it, alright?
Because if we have learned anything this past year, it's
that we can trust each other.
Tucker.
Join us.
>> Tucker: Hey.
>> Victoria: Hi.
>> Daniel: Sorry for stopping in unannounced and for all the
confusion with my mother earlier.
I just wanted to clear the air.
Obviously, she overstepped.
Her intentions were good, but she jumped the gun on something
that she doesn't know a lot about and doesn't have any
control over.
>> Audra: I suspected as much since I remember hearing about
your collaboration with Chancellor-Winters when I worked
there, and I assume it wasn't as easy as just placing a bid.
>> Daniel: You're right.
It's not.
I have an active contract with them, and I have every intention
of honoring it.
After our encounter, I just felt like I should come here in
person and, you know, clarify any misconceptions.
But if anything does change in the future, I'd be happy to sit
down and discuss possibilities.
So, again, sorry for any confusion.
>> Nate: Uh, hold on a second.
If you have a few minutes and there's an opportunity for some
kind of future collaboration, however small the chances are,
what's the harm in letting us sell ourselves to you?
>> Chelsea: You've been thinking about this a lot, haven't you?
>> Billy: Does it seem that way?
Well, I guess it's just, you know, we've -- we've both had
our fair share of struggles.
>> Chelsea: Mm.
>> Billy: And I'm not comparing mine to yours or anything like
that, but I know -- I know that darkness...
>> Chelsea: Mm.
>> Billy: ...when you're trying to find that light or that
saving grace.
I know that feeling.
You know, we've both been adrift when it comes to finding a
career or something that fulfills us.
And don't take this the wrong way, but we both struck out on
love.
>> Chelsea: Alright, alright, I get it.
>> Billy: You're not finding any comfort in what we have in
common?
>> Chelsea: No, please, please carry on.
>> Billy: I don't know.
You know, it's just we've both fought back against being
pigeonholed into these opportunities that other people
think are right for us.
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm.
>> Billy: Instead, we search for what makes us feel good,
what our passions are.
And I think -- [ Sighs ] I think that's what I loved
about the podcast, you know?
I mean, the back-and-forth was great, of course, but I think it
was getting to know each other on that -- that deeper level.
>> Chelsea: I think so, too.
You know, when you said the parallel lives thing earlier, I
thought you were just trying to make me feel less alone, but now
I believe you actually mean it.
>> Billy: I do.
You know, I'm -- I'm very proud of all the work that you've
done and how determined you are.
And it makes me feel determined, too.
>> Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]
>> Nate: The first thing I would say as far as Chancellor-Winters
versus Newman goes is that Audra and I have worked at both
places and we have found Newman Media to be a much
happier business home.
>> Daniel: Well, I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience at
Chancellor-Winters, but that hasn't been the case for me.
>> Audra: You had to have noticed the turmoil there.
>> Daniel: I am committed to Lily and her company.
My word -- it means a lot to me.
When I make commitments, I do my best to honor them and to not
betray the people that believe in me.
This project means everything to me.
It's literally my future.
It's not a "sell to the highest bidder" kind of thing.
So, I hope that's something that you can both understand and
accept and respect.
[ Chuckles ] Again, thank you for your time.
>> Nate: I am more intrigued than ever.
>> Audra: If you intend to go after Daniel's platform, you
should know you have some competition waiting for you.
Tucker McCall has the same idea.
>> Nate: And you know that how?
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ] You did not have to walk me
home, but that was a very chivalrous gesture.
>> Billy: All good.
Um, so, listen.
I, uh -- I have a few things to take care of today, but maybe we
can grab dinner soon.
>> Chelsea: Sure.
Um...I could cook us something.
>> Billy: Yeah, yeah, we can do that, or we could -- could go
out, you know, unless it's too stressful.
>> Chelsea: No.
I don't think it would be too stressful.
I'd like that.
>> Billy: Okay, good.
Some food, some -- some fun.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ] Alright, uh...
Well, we'll figure it out.
>> Chelsea: Sounds great.
>> Billy: Okay.
Have a good one.
>> Chelsea: You too.
>> Billy: Okay.
>> Chelsea: Bye.
>> Billy: See you.
>> Victor: But I have other reasons for wanting to acquire
McCall Unlimited.
>> Nikki: Care to fill me in?
>> Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] I have a feeling that one of the
divisions might be appealing to Adam when he comes back.
>> Nikki: You mean if he comes back.
Victor, don't tell me that's what this is about -- trying to
lure Adam back to Newman Enterprises.
>> Victor: No, no, no, no.
As I said, there would be many benefits to acquiring
McCall Unlimited.
>> Nikki: And you realize that your other children are not
pawns in your constant battle with Adam, right?
>> Victor: I know that.
Don't you worry, okay?
I've thought this through.
I think this will be good for everyone concerned.
But when Adam realizes that we have McCall Unlimited in our
portfolio, that would give him a very strong reason to stay.
>> Tucker: A, uh -- [ Laughs ] An invitation from the Newman
siblings?
That's...a suspicious surprise.
>> Victoria: No, we -- we just wanted to talk.
>> Tucker: Oh, really?
What about?
>> Nick: Your future plans.
>> Tucker: Yeah, I figured.
Say, did you fill him in on the nasty rumor you started that I'm
coming after your company?
>> Victoria: Oh, that?
Uh, no, I -- I hadn't given it a second thought since we spoke,
since the idea of you being successful at it is dubious at
best.
>> Tucker: What, then?
>> Victoria: Oh, we just wanted to let you know that there's
another nasty rumor floating around.
>> Tucker: Oh. Do tell.
>> Nick: Your company's in trouble.
>> Tucker: Well, you know you're on top when people feel the need
to start gossiping about you.
But, uh, I don't believe rumors.
Neither should you.
>> Next week on "The Young and the Restless"...
>> Nate: Someone else in my place might wonder if you're
working Tucker...or me...
or both of us.
>> Phyllis: I'm going out of town.
Um, I just wanted to let you know.
>> Summer: Okay.
Where -- Where are you going?
>> Phyllis: I'm going to meet with Heather.
[ Sighs ] I'm gonna convince her to take your brother back.
>> Kyle: I found something interesting, something I think
you can use to get Adam out of the company.
