>> Kyle: Well, I can appreciate
that.
164
00:09:11,117 --> 00:09:13,152
>> Diane: Yeah, well, I'm sure
you -- I'm sure you understand
165
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,554
it, but it's a bit different for
me, you know?
166
00:09:15,621 --> 00:09:17,890
I don't want anyone here
thinking that I'm advancing
167
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:21,894
because I'm, you know, back
together with Jack.
168
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:24,997
>> Kyle: I see.
I don't think that will be a
169
00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:27,566
problem.
And as far as I'm concerned,
170
00:09:27,633 --> 00:09:30,403
we'll continue to judge you on
the quality of your work like we
171
00:09:30,469 --> 00:09:34,974
do with all our employees.
>> Diane: That's all I'm asking.
172
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:39,312
And now that Jeremy Stark is out
of the picture, I want to look
173
00:09:39,378 --> 00:09:43,082
forward and focus on how I can
best lend my talents to the mix.
174
00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:47,219
Kyle, I think it's time for me
to move up.
175
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:50,189
>> Kyle: Well, you're doing
great work now, so keep up the
176
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,658
hard work, and we'll see what
happens.
177
00:09:52,725 --> 00:09:56,462
>> Diane: Well, thanks, but what
I'd really like to do is to put
178
00:09:56,529 --> 00:10:00,499
my years of experience and my
knowledge to the best possible
179
00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:03,970
use to help you and Summer build
on everything you've achieved.
180
00:10:04,036 --> 00:10:07,440
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
I remember us talking about a
181
00:10:07,506 --> 00:10:10,977
possible promotion before the
Stark situation.
182
00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:12,712
Is that what we're talking about
now?
183
00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:16,515
>> Diane: Well, it is, and it --
and it isn't.
184
00:10:16,582 --> 00:10:20,786
I mean, I do love PR, but I
think there are some other areas
185
00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:23,289
where I could really make a real
contribution.
186
00:10:23,356 --> 00:10:25,191
>> Kyle: Mm.
>> Diane: Like -- Like, thinking
187
00:10:25,257 --> 00:10:27,960
about it, uh, what about
Marchetti Home?
188
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:30,229
It would be the perfect division
for me.
189
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:33,299
I used to stage homes all the
time when I was a real estate
190
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:36,135
agent in L.A.
It'd be a match made in heaven.
191
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:37,336
>> Kyle: I hadn't thought of
that.
192
00:10:37,403 --> 00:10:39,005
>> Diane: Yeah, it's a perfect
fit, Kyle.
193
00:10:39,071 --> 00:10:43,342
You need someone to fill
Phyllis's gigantic shoes.
194
00:10:43,409 --> 00:10:47,380
And I know it's probably hard to
find someone, but maybe that's
195
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:51,117
because you're just not looking
in the right place.
196
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:54,420
Look no further.
>> Kyle: Wait. [ Chuckles ]
197
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:57,323
You're actually angling for
Phyllis's old job?
198
00:11:05,431 --> 00:11:07,400
>> Chelsea: It's none of your
business if I decide to spend
199
00:11:07,466 --> 00:11:10,936
time with Billy.
I don't need your permission or
200
00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:12,605
approval as to who I can be
friends with.
201
00:11:12,671 --> 00:11:14,173
>> Adam: I'm not trying to imply
that you do.
202
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,409
>> Chelsea: Okay, Adam, um, I
don't think this is about
203
00:11:16,475 --> 00:11:19,445
jealousy because we're way past
that, so I think it's just about
204
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,881
good old-fashioned hatred, and
you need to get over it.
205
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:25,618
>> Adam: [ Chuckling ] Okay.
Um, I can't think of one reason
206
00:11:25,684 --> 00:11:26,986
why I should.
>> Chelsea: I'll give you two
207
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:32,892
reasons -- me and Connor.
>> Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]
208
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:37,263
>> Chelsea: I know you care
about me, and I know you want me
209
00:11:37,329 --> 00:11:39,598
to get better.
And you have been supportive in
210
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:42,301
every other way.
But the fact that you can't
211
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:45,271
acknowledge that I'm capable of
making my own decisions and
212
00:11:45,337 --> 00:11:47,373
that -- You know, you need to
accept the fact that Billy's
213
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,475
gonna be a part of our life.
You're making this about you
214
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:52,912
and your feelings, Adam, and
it's the opposite of being
215
00:11:52,978 --> 00:11:56,248
helpful.
>> Adam: Okay, I know what he is
216
00:11:56,315 --> 00:11:58,751
capable of.
>> Chelsea: So do I.
217
00:11:58,818 --> 00:12:03,189
>> Adam: [ Inhales deeply ]
Okay.
218
00:12:03,255 --> 00:12:07,393
Okay, fine.
Alright, I really did have good
219
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,695
intentions, and I really don't
want there to be friction
220
00:12:09,762 --> 00:12:16,001
between us, so I will try harder
for you and for Connor.
221
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,471
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
>> Adam: Alright?
222
00:12:18,537 --> 00:12:21,006
I said my piece, so I won't
bring it up again.
223
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:24,143
>> Chelsea: Well, I appreciate
that.
224
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:28,881
>> Adam: Billy is your "special
friend."
225
00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:33,385
But if he hurts you, I'm telling
you I will not let that go.
226
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:41,227
>> Chelsea: Adam, it's my life.
So, whatever happens, you have
227
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:43,195
to learn to accept it.
228
00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:52,638
>> Billy: You know, my breakup
with Lily -- it doesn't have
229
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:56,375
anything to do with Chelsea.
>> Victoria: I am just saying
230
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:58,944
that you've been spending an
awful lot of time with her.
231
00:12:59,011 --> 00:13:01,447
>> Billy: And the boys. Yes.
>> Victoria: You were engaged to
232
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:03,849
each other once upon a time.
>> Billy: Okay, Vick, do you
233
00:13:03,916 --> 00:13:08,220
want to tell me where you're
going with this?
234
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:11,590
>> Victoria: You both just went
through a very dark and
235
00:13:11,657 --> 00:13:15,628
confusing time together.
>> Billy: Yes, that is true.
236
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:19,565
And?
>> Victoria: And maybe in the
237
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:23,202
process of trying to help her,
you managed to form a deeper
238
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:25,804
connection based on the
intensity of the emotional
239
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:32,278
situation that you went through.
She needed your help, and maybe
240
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:36,749
you realized that you could be
her hero.
241
00:13:36,815 --> 00:13:38,617
>> Billy: I wouldn't go so far
to say that.
242
00:13:38,684 --> 00:13:43,789
>> Victoria: Well, neither would
I...but she might.
243
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:47,259
You saved her life.
You made her feel like she was
244
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:49,995
worth saving and worth your
friendship.
245
00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:55,167
And maybe she made you feel like
the hero in a storybook.
246
00:13:55,234 --> 00:13:59,305
Maybe she even gave you a little
bit of a chance to rewrite
247
00:13:59,371 --> 00:14:03,709
history and save someone that
you care about.
248
00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:09,081
That's not a bad thing.
All I'm saying is, if there's
249
00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:16,188
something more developing
between you two than friendship,
250
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:21,093
I just hope you take your time.
You should also know that it
251
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,063
would behoove you to realize how
your actions affect other
252
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:28,033
people, like your daughter,
Katie.
253
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:30,369
She's a little bit jealous that
you and Johnny have been
254
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:34,707
spending so much time with
Chelsea and Connor.
255
00:14:34,773 --> 00:14:38,110
>> Billy: Thank you.
I didn't realize.
256
00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:43,515
>> Victoria: Well, now you know.
You need to be aware of what
257
00:14:43,582 --> 00:14:45,351
this means to your family.
258
00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:53,993
>> Diane: I wouldn't say I'm
angling for Phyllis's job, but
259
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:57,396
it is strange that the position
at Marchetti Home fits right in
260
00:14:57,463 --> 00:15:00,366
line with my skill set.
>> Kyle: Yes, it's strange,
261
00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:03,168
alright, but you have to
understand what a combustible
262
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:05,004
situation that would be.
>> Diane: Well, I don't
263
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,373
understand why.
>> Kyle: If Phyllis finds out
264
00:15:07,439 --> 00:15:12,077
you've taken her old job, she
will go ballistic.
265
00:15:12,144 --> 00:15:16,282
She will take this place apart
brick by brick until she finds
266
00:15:16,348 --> 00:15:17,783
you.
>> Diane: You're exaggerating.
267
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:20,252
That wouldn't be rational.
She doesn't even work here
268
00:15:20,319 --> 00:15:21,320
anymore.
>> Kyle: I'm sorry.
269
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:23,255
Have you met Phyllis?
Is "rational" a word you would
270
00:15:23,322 --> 00:15:25,424
use to describe her?
>> Diane: No.
271
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:28,627
But I promise you, Kyle, this
isn't about me finding a way to
272
00:15:28,694 --> 00:15:30,763
get back at Phyllis.
I mean, who has time for all
273
00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:32,331
that?
>> Kyle: It's about appearances,
274
00:15:32,398 --> 00:15:33,565
Mom.
>> Diane: What?
275
00:15:33,632 --> 00:15:36,902
>> Kyle: Out of all the jobs at
Jabot, you feel like you would
276
00:15:36,969 --> 00:15:40,105
be most helpful taking over
after she was fired?
277
00:15:40,172 --> 00:15:43,309
>> Diane: I can't worry about
appearances, Kyle.
278
00:15:43,375 --> 00:15:47,212
But I do know that I am very
qualified for the job.
279
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,816
In addition to my experience as
a real estate agent, I was an
280
00:15:50,883 --> 00:15:55,120
extremely successful architect.
I understand form and function
281
00:15:55,187 --> 00:15:57,723
as a part of design.
There is so much I could bring
282
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:01,994
to the table.
My goal is for you to realize
283
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:05,030
your dream in the most effective
way possible.
284
00:16:05,097 --> 00:16:10,035
So let me help you.
>> Kyle: [ Sighs ]
285
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:14,473
Okay. Why now?
Why are you coming to me about
286
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:17,076
this now?
What's different today than two
287
00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:19,411
weeks ago?
>> Diane: Well, for one,
288
00:16:19,478 --> 00:16:22,948
Jeremy Stark is no longer a
threat to my life.
289
00:16:23,015 --> 00:16:27,052
And now that Jack and I have
grown closer, I've -- I've been
290
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:29,621
looking around, and I love
seeing how closely all the
291
00:16:29,688 --> 00:16:34,259
Abbotts work together.
You know, you, Summer, Jack,
292
00:16:34,326 --> 00:16:37,429
even Ashley, all working
together for the family
293
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:40,733
business.
It's wonderful.
294
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:45,771
And it's how it should be.
And I want to be part of that.
295
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:53,112
I want to be part of the family.
>> Kyle: So, this job is less
296
00:16:53,178 --> 00:16:56,582
about ambition and more about
belonging to something.
297
00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:59,752
>> Diane: Yes.
That's it, Kyle.
298
00:16:59,818 --> 00:17:03,489
I mean, I-I love seeing how
closely all of the Abbotts work
299
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:09,728
together towards a common goal.
And I want to belong to that.
300
00:17:09,795 --> 00:17:13,665
[ Sighs ] Look, I know this
probably sounds ridiculous to
301
00:17:13,732 --> 00:17:18,771
you, doesn't it?
>> Kyle: Not at all, Mom.
302
00:17:18,837 --> 00:17:20,239
Not at all.
303
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,917
>> Diane: I'm -- I'm sorry.
I know that sounds silly to you.
304
00:17:31,984 --> 00:17:34,286
>> Kyle: What?
Wanting to be a part of a
305
00:17:34,353 --> 00:17:35,954
family?
I think that's a perfectly
306
00:17:36,021 --> 00:17:38,557
natural thing to want.
>> Diane: No, I mean wanting to
307
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:42,194
be a top-level executive just so
that I can feel like part of a
308
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:43,962
family.
It doesn't -- It doesn't make
309
00:17:44,029 --> 00:17:47,232
any sense.
But Jabot is such an integral
310
00:17:47,299 --> 00:17:50,202
part of the Abbotts.
You know, it's the same way for
311
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:52,004
the Newmans.
And -- And Phyllis is even
312
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:56,909
working with her son, Daniel.
So, working with family does
313
00:17:56,975 --> 00:18:00,012
make sense.
And, Kyle, I just want to
314
00:18:00,078 --> 00:18:04,049
contribute and be part of it.
>> Kyle: Sure.
315
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:06,685
But there are other ways to be
a part of the family without
316
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:08,420
running an entire division of
the company.
317
00:18:08,487 --> 00:18:10,689
>> Diane: You know, I had a
feeling you wouldn't understand.
318
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:14,293
You've been surrounded by a
loving family your whole life.
319
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,662
>> Kyle: Not always.
There was a time where I didn't
320
00:18:16,728 --> 00:18:20,833
have a mother.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] Okay.
321
00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:23,802
That's a fair point.
>> Kyle: Mom, I'm --
322
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:26,438
Look, I'm sorry.
I want you to feel like you
323
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:31,376
belong to the Abbotts --
because you do.
324
00:18:31,443 --> 00:18:33,145
But I can't just give you this
job.
325
00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:37,249
I will talk to Summer, though,
and we will revisit it.
326
00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:41,920
You may be qualified and have
good ideas, but let's be sure
327
00:18:41,987 --> 00:18:44,523
it's a good fit, alright?
>> Diane: Alright.
328
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:48,861
I-I appreciate that.
Thank you.
329
00:18:48,927 --> 00:18:51,396
>> Jack: I wasn't expecting to
see you two.
330
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:54,800
>> Diane: Oh, I was just, um,
dropping off some papers, and
331
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:57,736
then Kyle and I had a very
productive conversation.
332
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,138
>> Jack: Glad to hear it.
>> Kyle: I was about to go to
333
00:19:00,205 --> 00:19:02,841
the marketing meeting, but I
don't seem to have my --
334
00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:07,212
>> Jack: Looking for this?
>> Kyle: Yeah. Thanks.
335
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:08,280
I just realized I didn't have
it.
336
00:19:08,347 --> 00:19:09,948
I was wondering why I wasn't
getting any messages.
337
00:19:10,015 --> 00:19:12,818
And Summer has called me three
times.
338
00:19:12,885 --> 00:19:14,786
>> Diane: Where is she?
>> Kyle: She's visiting a
339
00:19:14,853 --> 00:19:17,489
factory in Waukesha, but she
should be back soon.
340
00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:18,790
I should check in with her
anyways.
341
00:19:18,857 --> 00:19:26,465
Excuse me.
>> Jack: Hey.
342
00:19:26,532 --> 00:19:28,200
You okay?
>> Diane: Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
343
00:19:28,267 --> 00:19:30,569
We were just -- We were just
talking.
344
00:19:30,636 --> 00:19:34,373
>> Jack: About what?
>> Diane: Oh, family.
345
00:19:34,439 --> 00:19:37,109
Are you okay?
You seemed so happy this
346
00:19:37,175 --> 00:19:40,312
morning, and now you seem a
little agitated.
347
00:19:40,379 --> 00:19:42,548
Did you talk to Kyle this
morning?
348
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:45,517
>> Jack: Yeah, briefly.
>> Diane: Well, I mean, he seems
349
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:47,419
to have accepted that we're back
together.
350
00:19:47,486 --> 00:19:49,388
Did you get a different sense
from him?
351
00:19:49,454 --> 00:19:53,859
>> Jack: He does seem to have
accepted things, yeah.
352
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:57,062
He just wants us to take it
easy, to go slow.
353
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:59,531
>> Diane: [ Laughing ] Well,
it's taken us decades to get
354
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:01,400
here.
How much slower can we go?
355
00:20:01,466 --> 00:20:04,469
>> Jack: Yeah, you make a good
point.
356
00:20:04,536 --> 00:20:07,272
>> Diane: Alright, well, there
must be something else bothering
357
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:09,308
you.
>> Jack: I have to prepare for
358
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:11,944
what promises to be a very
uncomfortable conversation
359
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:14,479
with my son.
>> Diane: About what?
360
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:18,717
>> Jack: About Victor's plan to
undermine Adam here at Jabot.
361
00:20:18,784 --> 00:20:21,086
Kyle is more involved than he's
let on.
362
00:20:22,454 --> 00:20:27,659
>> Victor: Thank you, William.
That's very nice of you.
363
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:34,333
I appreciate it. Yep.
>> Victoria: Good call?
364
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:37,869
>> Victor: Yeah.
That was an interesting call.
365
00:20:37,936 --> 00:20:42,708
I just talked to a guy who's on
the board of the bank that holds
366
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:50,015
Tucker's debt.
And he indicated that he might
367
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:55,053
be willing to offer it to us
for less than face value.
368
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:58,590
>> Victoria: I appreciate your
attempts to lower our costs, but
369
00:20:58,657 --> 00:21:01,460
we're already in the process of
buying off Tucker's debt.
370
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:04,696
It'll be cleaner and faster to
just pay the going rate.
371
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:07,032
>> Victor: But, sweetheart, you
want to move that quickly?
372
00:21:07,099 --> 00:21:10,502
>> Victoria: Yes, before Tucker
knows what hit him.
373
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:18,210
>> Victor: Oh.
You know, I've always admired
374
00:21:18,276 --> 00:21:23,782
that about you, admired your
focus.
375
00:21:23,849 --> 00:21:29,321
You're decisive.
You go after what you want.
376
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:35,560
I just wish that your brother
Adam would use all of his
377
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:39,898
abilities and instincts.
Instead, they're lying fallow
378
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:42,267
at Jabot with that B.S. job he
has there.
379
00:21:42,334 --> 00:21:44,536
>> Victoria: I have every faith
that Jack has found a hundred
380
00:21:44,603 --> 00:21:48,674
different ways for Adam to prove
himself and Adam has found just
381
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:52,044
as many to dash his hopes.
>> Victor: Imagine what we could
382
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:58,850
all accomplish around here if
Adam applied his business acumen
383
00:21:58,917 --> 00:22:05,190
and intelligence to our company.
>> Victoria: Daddy, you've never
384
00:22:05,257 --> 00:22:07,626
been one to indulge in wishful
thinking.
385
00:22:07,693 --> 00:22:11,196
So I assume that you're going to
now tell me what your plans are
386
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:12,397
for your prodigal son.
387
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:15,901
>> Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]
388
00:22:15,967 --> 00:22:17,302
>> Connor: Tell me how you fixed
the printer.
389
00:22:17,369 --> 00:22:20,472
>> Adam: Oh, a magician never
reveals his secrets.
390
00:22:20,539 --> 00:22:22,974
>> Connor: Don't you want me to
be self-sufficient and know how
391
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:25,944
to fix the printer myself?
Then I won't have to send you an
392
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:28,847
SOS first thing in the morning.
>> Adam: Then where am I gonna
393
00:22:28,914 --> 00:22:31,216
get to showcase my magical
abilities?
394
00:22:31,283 --> 00:22:34,419
>> Connor: What did you do?
Reboot? Reconnect the network?
395
00:22:34,486 --> 00:22:36,054
>> Adam: You know what?
Why don't you tell me your
396
00:22:36,121 --> 00:22:37,989
secret?
How did you write such a
397
00:22:38,056 --> 00:22:40,325
compelling book report?
>> Connor: Easy.
398
00:22:40,392 --> 00:22:42,828
I read the book.
>> Adam: [ Laughs ]
399
00:22:42,894 --> 00:22:45,230
Geez, now, why didn't I think of
that?
400
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:47,299
>> Connor: And I talked to Mom
about it.
401
00:22:47,365 --> 00:22:50,502
She asked me questions about it,
which made me think of the story
402
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:53,905
in a different way.
And the report kind of wrote
403
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:57,642
itself, like magic.
>> Adam: See?
404
00:22:57,709 --> 00:23:02,147
Runs in the family.
You've been dealing with all
405
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:04,249
sorts of complicated stuff
lately.
406
00:23:04,316 --> 00:23:07,486
>> Connor: Like what?
>> Adam: Well, you know, finding
407
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:11,823
out about Johnny and everything
your mother's going through and
408
00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:14,793
Billy hanging out at the
apartment all the time.
409
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:17,696
>> Connor: Billy's okay.
And Mom seems happier.
410
00:23:17,763 --> 00:23:22,334
She laughs and smiles more.
So, that's good, right?
411
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,504
>> Adam: [ Scoffs ]
You kidding? That's...
412
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:31,576
That is fantastic.
But I just want you to know if
413
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:34,546
things ever feel less than
great or if you ever need anyone
414
00:23:34,613 --> 00:23:37,249
to talk to, I'm always here to
listen.
415
00:23:37,315 --> 00:23:39,651
>> Connor: Yeah. I know.
>> Adam: Okay.
416
00:23:39,718 --> 00:23:41,419
>> Billy: Hey, Connor.
What do you know?
417
00:23:41,486 --> 00:23:43,755
>> Adam: Uh, apparently not
enough, which is why we got to
418
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:45,857
get to school.
Hey, will you, um -- will you
419
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:48,860
wait for me in the car?
>> Connor: Sure. See you, Billy.
420
00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:51,096
>> Billy: See you later.
Hey, good luck on that book
421
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:58,270
report, alright?
Let me guess.
422
00:23:58,336 --> 00:24:00,539
You have an opinion about me and
Chelsea going out for dinner
423
00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:04,376
together.
>> Adam: Oh...yes, I do.
424
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:14,820
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
425
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:35,674
>> Jack: Kyle was in such a
hurry to get to work, he left
426
00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:38,310
his phone at home.
And he got a text.
427
00:24:38,376 --> 00:24:41,413
>> Diane: And you found the
phone and read the message.
428
00:24:41,479 --> 00:24:45,150
>> Jack: From Victor Newman,
thanking Kyle for his help with
429
00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:47,886
"the Adam matter" and telling
him to "stay tuned."
430
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:50,088
>> Diane: Well, could it mean
something else?
431
00:24:50,155 --> 00:24:51,456
I mean, maybe you've
misinterpreted it.
432
00:24:51,523 --> 00:24:53,391
>> Jack: No, there's nothing
ambivalent about this.
433
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:56,795
He's been lying to me all along.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ]
434
00:24:58,196 --> 00:25:00,232
>> Kyle: I know what the
reaction would be, Summer, but
435
00:25:00,298 --> 00:25:03,935
we can't dismiss her just
because your mom would be upset.
436
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:09,774
More than upset. I know.
Look, I told her we would
437
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:13,044
consider it, but not yet.
Give it some time.
438
00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:14,512
Maybe she'll forget all about
it.
439
00:25:15,447 --> 00:25:18,149
>> Diane: It's not in Kyle's
nature to be duplicitous.
440
00:25:18,216 --> 00:25:20,151
Why would he lie like that?
>> Jack: I think it all boils
441
00:25:20,218 --> 00:25:22,420
down to Adam.
>> Diane: What, he hates him
442
00:25:22,487 --> 00:25:24,256
that much?
>> Jack: Well, I don't think
443
00:25:24,322 --> 00:25:26,458
there's any love lost between
the two of them, but, no, I
444
00:25:26,524 --> 00:25:29,961
think it is more about a
combination of Victor wanting
445
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:32,898
Adam out of here and Kyle never
forgiving me for having hired
446
00:25:32,964 --> 00:25:35,233
Adam in the first place.
>> Diane: That sounds like a
447
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,469
recipe for disaster.
>> Jack: It is.
448
00:25:37,535 --> 00:25:41,072
Nothing good can come of the two
of them colluding together.
449
00:25:41,139 --> 00:25:43,608
And this wouldn't be the first
time that Kyle became part of
450
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:46,244
Victor's plan.
>> Diane: What?
451
00:25:46,311 --> 00:25:48,947
I don't like the sound of that.
>> Jack: I'll fill you in on
452
00:25:49,014 --> 00:25:52,617
that later, but you should know
right now that for a period
453
00:25:52,684 --> 00:25:55,887
while you were gone, Kyle and
Victor were very close.
454
00:25:55,954 --> 00:25:59,324
>> Diane: Really?
>> Jack: I just never expected
455
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:05,397
this kind of betrayal.
[ Breathes deeply ]
456
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,702
>> Victoria: Nicholas told me
that you have something in the
457
00:26:10,769 --> 00:26:14,105
works to lure Adam back to work
here.
458
00:26:14,172 --> 00:26:15,607
>> Victor: What are your
thoughts?
459
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:17,575
>> Victoria: Bringing Adam back
would be a mistake.
460
00:26:17,642 --> 00:26:20,045
He has a huge chip on his
shoulder.
461
00:26:20,111 --> 00:26:22,180
Every meeting will become
contentious.
462
00:26:22,247 --> 00:26:26,117
He'll put a drag on anything
that we hope to accomplish,
463
00:26:26,184 --> 00:26:28,853
especially if you try to force
him out of Jabot and make this
464
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,722
the only game in town.
>> Victor: Sweetheart, this is
465
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:33,625
where he belongs, and he knows
it.
466
00:26:33,692 --> 00:26:35,694
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
Despite evidence to the
467
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:42,400
contrary, how many job offers of
yours has he turned down anyway?
468
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:45,170
>> Victor: I think Adam will
return, and he just needs to be
469
00:26:45,236 --> 00:26:48,773
shown the respect that he craves
and deserves.
470
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,276
>> Victoria: You know, I was
wrong before when I said that
471
00:26:51,343 --> 00:26:53,178
you didn't engage in wishful
thinking -- because that's
472
00:26:53,244 --> 00:26:56,715
exactly what this is.
And speaking as your daughter
473
00:26:56,781 --> 00:27:00,485
right now, I can only see this
ending in one way -- with you
474
00:27:00,552 --> 00:27:03,521
getting hurt badly.
475
00:27:06,992 --> 00:27:11,096
>> Adam: I have all kinds of
opinions about you and who you
476
00:27:11,162 --> 00:27:13,098
are and what you do...
>> Billy: Yeah.
477
00:27:13,164 --> 00:27:15,166
>> Adam: ...and why you do it.
>> Billy: Well, I'm sure you do.
478
00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:17,702
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
That's actually not why I wanted
479
00:27:17,769 --> 00:27:21,272
to talk to you today.
>> Billy: Okay. Go ahead.
480
00:27:21,339 --> 00:27:23,608
Let's hear it.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
481
00:27:23,675 --> 00:27:26,277
Chelsea mentioned that she
wanted to get Connor and Johnny
482
00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:28,880
together again.
And since they had such a
483
00:27:28,947 --> 00:27:32,317
wonderful time when you took
them ice skating, I thought that
484
00:27:32,384 --> 00:27:37,422
I would step up, do my part.
>> Billy: Is that right?
485
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:39,824
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
So I thought I could find
486
00:27:39,891 --> 00:27:45,830
something that they enjoy and
make a day of it.
487
00:27:45,897 --> 00:27:47,499
>> Billy: Well, that sounds
good.
488
00:27:47,565 --> 00:27:50,435
I'm sure Johnny would really
enjoy that.
489
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:54,406
>> Adam: That's good.
>> Billy: Anything else, Adam?
490
00:28:03,915 --> 00:28:08,086
>> Victor: My sweet girl, I am
very touched by your concern for
491
00:28:08,153 --> 00:28:10,755
me.
But you don't have to worry
492
00:28:10,822 --> 00:28:12,557
about a thing.
Adam ain't gonna attack me,
493
00:28:12,624 --> 00:28:15,293
okay?
And if he does, I can take care
494
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:19,564
of myself.
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
495
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:21,266
Well, then let me tell you
what I see.
496
00:28:21,332 --> 00:28:23,802
>> Victor: What?
>> Victoria: A man who blames
497
00:28:23,868 --> 00:28:27,972
you for everything that has gone
wrong in his life, all because
498
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:31,109
of what happened after he caused
that man's death when he was a
499
00:28:31,176 --> 00:28:34,646
boy.
Look, I know that you tried to
500
00:28:34,712 --> 00:28:38,716
protect him, but he has used
that as an all-purpose excuse
501
00:28:38,783 --> 00:28:42,420
for the mess that he's made of
his life.
502
00:28:42,487 --> 00:28:44,089
>> Victor: There's some truth to
that.
503
00:28:44,155 --> 00:28:48,193
>> Victoria: And what's worse,
that he's -- he's even convinced
504
00:28:48,259 --> 00:28:52,597
you that you're the one to blame
for his life and that you
505
00:28:52,664 --> 00:28:58,002
deserve all the hurtful things
that he has done to you because
506
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:01,606
you had the temerity to love
him, including increasing the
507
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:06,478
dosage on your medication.
He put your life at risk.
508
00:29:06,544 --> 00:29:09,714
You didn't deserve that, Dad.
You don't owe him anything.
509
00:29:09,781 --> 00:29:13,718
And if you keep sticking your
neck out there for Adam, he's
510
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:18,556
going to cut it off.
I'm just asking you to please --
511
00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:22,927
just don't put yourself in a
situation where Adam blames
512
00:29:22,994 --> 00:29:27,699
you for his failure and takes it
out on you.
513
00:29:27,765 --> 00:29:30,401
You just need to find some way
to let him go.
514
00:29:33,471 --> 00:29:35,273
>> Adam: Well, I'll let Connor
know that you're on board with
515
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:37,575
me taking everyone to the
skating rink again.
516
00:29:37,642 --> 00:29:40,044
You know, maybe we'll find
something more interesting to
517
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:43,381
do.
>> Billy: Yeah. Sure.
518
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:45,884
Knock yourself out.
>> Adam: Great.
519
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:51,322
So, I'll be in touch to set up a
time and date.
520
00:29:51,389 --> 00:29:55,360
>> Billy: Okay, Adam.
Looking forward to it.
521
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:10,675
>> Chelsea: What happened?
>> Billy: Nothing.
522
00:30:10,742 --> 00:30:16,281
Actually, uh, I was about ready
to, you know, brace myself for
523
00:30:16,347 --> 00:30:18,449
him to tear into me because we
went out for dinner together,
524
00:30:18,516 --> 00:30:22,487
but nothing happened.
He was astonishingly restrained.
525
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:25,990
Did you say something to him?
>> Chelsea: Uh, yeah, actually.
526
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:29,694
I told him he needed to stop the
fighting, and he agreed to back
527
00:30:29,761 --> 00:30:31,029
off.
I just didn't think he'd
528
00:30:31,095 --> 00:30:32,797
actually do it.
[ Laughs ]
529
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:35,233
>> Billy: Well, this doesn't
happen very often, but I'm gonna
530
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:37,435
give him his props.
He kept his promise to you, and
531
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,405
he, uh, kept his opinions to
himself.
532
00:30:40,471 --> 00:30:42,640
>> Chelsea: Well, I have to be
honest with you, um, and warn
533
00:30:42,707 --> 00:30:45,076
you -- he's not too thrilled
over the fact that we're
534
00:30:45,143 --> 00:30:47,712
spending time together.
>> Billy: Huh.
535
00:30:47,779 --> 00:30:49,814
That's funny.
I had a very similar
536
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:52,884
conversation with Victoria.
>> Chelsea: Huh! Did you, now?
537
00:30:52,951 --> 00:30:57,889
Opinions -- everybody's got one.
>> Billy: They do.
538
00:30:57,956 --> 00:31:00,425
How does that sit with you?
539
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:06,431
>> Kyle: I just wanted to thank
you again for bringing my phone.
540
00:31:06,497 --> 00:31:07,899
>> Diane: Is Summer okay?
>> Kyle: Yeah.
541
00:31:07,966 --> 00:31:09,434
She's back in town.
She'll be here shortly.
542
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,936
>> Diane: Oh, good.
Well, lesson learned.
543
00:31:12,003 --> 00:31:15,106
Keep your phone close.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I usually do.
544
00:31:15,173 --> 00:31:17,775
I just forgot today.
And we had to reschedule the
545
00:31:17,842 --> 00:31:19,811
marketing meeting because they
weren't able to get a hold of
546
00:31:19,877 --> 00:31:22,747
me.
Is that why you're mad?
547
00:31:22,814 --> 00:31:25,917
>> Jack: It's not.
>> Diane: I hate to run, but I
548
00:31:25,984 --> 00:31:30,888
need to revise a press release.
I'll leave you two to talk.
549
00:31:34,892 --> 00:31:40,064
[ Door closes ]
>> Kyle: So, what's going on?
550
00:31:40,131 --> 00:31:41,933
>> Jack: I don't know.
You tell me.
551
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,769
>> Kyle: Look, I'm sorry.
I messed up.
552
00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:45,937
I missed the meeting.
It was a mistake.
553
00:31:46,004 --> 00:31:46,871
It won't happen aga--
>> Jack: This isn't about a
554
00:31:46,938 --> 00:31:48,940
meeting.
I couldn't give a damn about the
555
00:31:49,007 --> 00:31:50,008
meeting.
>> Kyle: Okay, then what's it
556
00:31:50,074 --> 00:31:51,009
about?
557
00:31:51,075 --> 00:31:53,211
>> Jack: You've been lying to
me.
558
00:32:01,719 --> 00:32:04,489
>> Chelsea: I'm dealing with
important issues right now,
559
00:32:04,555 --> 00:32:07,325
getting back into the swing of
things, taking care of myself,
560
00:32:07,392 --> 00:32:09,661
being healthy.
I mean, I can't believe I wasted
561
00:32:09,727 --> 00:32:12,864
all that energy worrying about
what people at Society thought
562
00:32:12,930 --> 00:32:14,432
we were doing there together.
>> Billy: There you go.
563
00:32:14,499 --> 00:32:17,402
>> Chelsea: I mean, so what if
Abby -- or anybody else, for
564
00:32:17,468 --> 00:32:18,936
that matter -- thought we were
on a date?
565
00:32:19,003 --> 00:32:20,905
Who cares?
>> Billy: Hell, yeah.
566
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:23,107
>> Chelsea: Hell, yeah!
[ Both laugh ]
567
00:32:23,174 --> 00:32:25,143
And, you know, I really
appreciated the way that you
568
00:32:25,209 --> 00:32:29,647
very smoothly told that server
that we were not, in fact, on a
569
00:32:29,714 --> 00:32:30,915
date.
>> Billy: Yeah, I did that.
570
00:32:30,982 --> 00:32:33,318
Not so smooth, but thank you.
>> Chelsea: I mean, listen, I've
571
00:32:33,384 --> 00:32:36,187
done way worse than go on a date
with the likes of you.
572
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:38,356
>> Billy: I appreciate that.
It's by far the best compliment
573
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:42,226
I've had all day.
>> Chelsea: [ Laughs ]
574
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:44,662
Listen, if the worst thing
people can say about me is
575
00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:49,334
I went on a date, then I'm doing
something right.
576
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,869
I'm not gonna get bent out of
shape over what people think
577
00:32:51,936 --> 00:32:55,873
about me anymore.
I'm grateful for where I'm at,
578
00:32:55,940 --> 00:33:00,545
where we're at.
Friends.
579
00:33:00,611 --> 00:33:02,513
>> Billy: Friends.
580
00:33:06,684 --> 00:33:09,487
>> Victoria: Do you know that
when I was a little girl, I --
581
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:13,057
I used to believe that there was
almost nothing that you couldn't
582
00:33:13,124 --> 00:33:15,393
do.
>> Victor: "Almost"?
583
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:18,129
>> Victoria: Well, there are a
few things out of your reach.
584
00:33:18,196 --> 00:33:21,933
>> Victor: What?
What?
585
00:33:21,999 --> 00:33:23,201
>> Victoria: Fixing the
plumbing.
586
00:33:23,267 --> 00:33:25,603
>> Victor: Oh, well...
[ Chuckles ]
587
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:28,239
You know.
>> Victoria: Mm.
588
00:33:28,306 --> 00:33:31,943
And making somebody want
something that they don't.
589
00:33:32,009 --> 00:33:34,912
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
>> Victoria: You know, Adam
590
00:33:34,979 --> 00:33:37,248
doesn't want to be a part of
this family.
591
00:33:37,315 --> 00:33:40,651
He's made that perfectly clear.
You should take him at his word.
592
00:33:40,718 --> 00:33:44,055
>> Victor: Sweetheart, whatever
he says, whatever he claims,
593
00:33:44,122 --> 00:33:48,693
he belongs with this family.
He belongs with me.
594
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,029
He's part of me, okay?
>> Victoria: I'm not saying that
595
00:33:52,096 --> 00:33:54,565
he doesn't want to be a Newman.
I'm just saying he wants to be
596
00:33:54,632 --> 00:33:57,368
the only Newman.
That makes him dangerous and
597
00:33:57,435 --> 00:33:59,670
unpredictable.
>> Victor: I'm not worried about
598
00:33:59,737 --> 00:34:02,907
that.
I've tried many times to, you
599
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:07,879
know, shut him out and...
been angry with him,
600
00:34:07,945 --> 00:34:11,983
disillusioned with him.
I just can't, you know?
601
00:34:12,049 --> 00:34:15,219
And I don't want to.
All I can tell you is that
602
00:34:15,286 --> 00:34:19,357
whatever plans I have devised
for him to come back here and be
603
00:34:19,424 --> 00:34:22,360
part of this is not gonna
impact our company negatively,
604
00:34:22,427 --> 00:34:24,295
nor is it gonna impact you
badly.
605
00:34:24,362 --> 00:34:25,830

>> Victor: What?
606
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:30,034
>> Victoria: ...what about you?
You've always been his target.
607
00:34:30,101 --> 00:34:34,338
You have the most to lose here.
>> Victor: My baby, I'm touched
608
00:34:34,405 --> 00:34:37,208
by your concern, but don't you
worry about your dad.
609
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:41,846
Don't ever worry about me, okay?
I can take care of myself.
610
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:44,348
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
I wish I could believe you, but

with Adam, there's always a
negative impact on everyone.

it had a message on it from
Victor Newman.

I want to know everything.
>> Kyle: Dad, I...
620
00:35:13,478 --> 00:35:15,012
There must have been a
misunderstanding.
621

thanked you for helping with the

stay tuned.

>> Jack: It's on your phone.
625

Take a look.

the wrong number.

it?

about Adam?
