>> Kyle: [ Sighs ] >> Jack: Morning, son.
Beautiful day, isn't it? >> Kyle: Oh, somebody's in a
good mood this morning. Did Mrs. Martinez make her
special smoothies? >> Jack: Yeah, something like
that. >> Kyle: Or is that smile on
you face because of Mom? >> Jack: Sounds a bit
disapproving. >> Kyle: If being with her makes
you happy, how can I disapprove? >> Jack: I also know that you
have some reservations about my relationship with --
>> Kyle: Understandable, don't you think?
She's hurt you so many times. >> Jack: Look, I know it's gonna
take some time to accept all of this, but you have to know I am
happier than I have been in a very long time, and I am not
going to hide my joy from you. Your mother is a different
person than she was when you were a kid.
>> Kyle: I'm giving Mom the benefit of the doubt.
And I seriously hope this works out.
Just be careful. >> Jack: Careful is my middle
name. >> Kyle: [ Chuckles ]
>> Jack: Where you rushing off to this morning?
>> Kyle: Oh, I'm running late for a meeting.
See you at the office? >> Jack: Yep.

>> Adam: You sure you got everything?
>> Connor: Lunch, math, notebooks, water bottle.
>> Chelsea: Mm. Book report? >> Connor: Of course I have
that. >> Chelsea: [ Gasps ] Aha!
Luckily, you've got the best mom.
>> Adam: And father. >> Connor: The best mother and
father in the world. >> Chelsea: [ Laughs ]
You left that masterpiece in the printer.
I get extra points, huh? >> Adam: What?
You mean the printer that your fantastic father fixed?
>> Chelsea: Well, I feel like we overlooked a very simple
explanation for that. Like, was the printer unplugged?
Was it missing paper in the tray?
>> Adam: What I did to the printer is highly technical,
okay? I could tell you, but I don't
think you would understand. You know, I became the printer.
>> Chelsea: Huh. Oh, okay. Before we know it, he's gonna
take credit for reading the book and writing the paper.
>> Adam: I am just saying it takes all members of the family
to make things happen. >> Connor: Thanks, Dad.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Wonderful.
>> Adam: Hey, she is in a really good mood.
What is that about? >> Chelsea: Wha-- Why do I need
a reason to be in a good mood? >> Connor: She's been laughing
at her own bad jokes ever since she got back from her dinner
with Billy. I forgot my title page.
Be right back. [ Bag zips ]
>> Adam: So, I take it you're date with Billy went well?
>> Victoria: Billy. >> Billy: Hey.
You're happy to see me. >> Victoria: I am.
>> Billy: Yeah. I can tell. You -- You have that look.
>> Victoria: Okay. Um, what was I gonna say, if --
if you can read my mind? >> Billy: Well, I don't know
that. I'm not that good.
But I'm assuming one of us is gonna be happy about it.
>> Victoria: Uh, actually, I wanted to, um, talk to you about
Lily. >> Billy: And there you go.
You never disappoint. >> Victoria: [ Sighs ] Look, I'm
not trying to rub salt on the wound or anything like that.
I know that breakups can be very painful.
>> Billy: [ Sighs ] >> Victoria: If that's what this
is. >> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
I'm not sure what else you think it might be.
>> Victoria: Maybe temporary insanity or, um, an interruption
to your regular scheduled programming.
>> Billy: Why do you -- Why do you want to know, Vick?
>> Victoria: I just know that Katie and Johnny have really
grown fond of Lily. >> Billy: Yeah, she -- she loves
them, too. >> Victoria: This is gonna be a
really difficult transition for them.
>> Billy: [ Sighs ] Join the club.
>> Victoria: I'm sorry. She was good for you.
>> Billy: You know, as I recall, you weren't exactly thrilled
when I started dating her. >> Victoria: Uh, well, as I
recall, you accused me of being jealous.
And, honestly...I was.
>> Billy: Are you really copping to being jealous of my
relationship with Lily? >> Victoria: I am, but not in
the way that you think. >> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
In what way, exactly? >> Victoria: I was just envious
that Lily got the mature, responsible, evolved version
of you, when you couldn't be that guy for me.
>> Billy: [ Sighs ] And you deserved better.
>> Victoria: Well, you tried. >> Billy: I failed repeatedly.
>> Victoria: There was a tendency for you to fall into
some reckless patterns, I suppose.
>> Billy: Is there a reason why we're revisiting this depressing
landscape? >> Victoria: Our past dictates
our future. People make choices expecting a
different outcome. >> Billy: So, what you're saying
is, in order to not have a repeat performance of the
Billy Abbott Show, you went the complete opposite direction.
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ] The seemingly perfect
Ashland Locke, yes. I can't believe that it took me
so long to realize that he was betraying me.
I guess I was fixated on finding someone accomplished and
serious. Well, we all know how that
turned out. >> Billy: Well, I'll never
forget what you did to help the kids through that whole ordeal.
And I promise you that I will do everything I can to help them
through this transition. >> Victoria: I know you will.
So, what does this mean for you and Chelsea?
[ Door closes ] >> Chelsea: Why does everyone
keep saying Billy and I were on a date?
The server at the restaurant made the same mistake.
It was just -- It was two friends sharing a meal, having a
G-rated conversation, which was a big step for me, by the way.
>> Adam: I know going out in the world has been a challenge for
you. I mean, what has that been like?
>> Chelsea: It made me feel confident, strong.
>> Adam: Well, that's good. >> Chelsea: Yeah.
And you know what? It's nice to have a friend.
>> Adam: I 100% support your choice to have friends, Chelsea.
Going out with Chloe. Go have coffee with Sharon.
Hell, make some new friends. But -- But Billy?
I don't advise it. >> Chelsea: Why?
Men and women aren't allowed to be friends?
>> Adam: No, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm looking out for you. >> Chelsea: Ah.
>> Adam: The real Billy, you know, the one who can't, uh,
commit to a job or a woman for more than a couple months, the
one who's still trying to figure out what he wants to be, if
he -- [scoffs] if he grows up -- he's in hibernation, and you're
being finessed. This "normal guy" act is not
gonna last. It never does.
>> Chelsea: Adam, it's not as if you're involved or anything.
>> Adam: Well, you're going out all the time.
I mean, do you have any idea what that looks like?
>> Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Well, I hope it looks like I'm
out having fun. And I refuse to feel ashamed
about that. >> Adam: I'm just saying that
your so-called savior is gonna let you down.
It is inevitable. Right now, he is relishing in
being your hero, but he's gonna get bored of it like he gets
bored of everything else. And I just worry that you're
relying too much on someone who is feckless and unreliable --
>> Chelsea: Adam, stop it. Just stop.
I've heard enough.
>> Diane: [ Breathes deeply ]
[ Chuckles ]
>> Kyle: Well, well, well, what do we have here?
>> Diane: Oh. Oh, nothing. I was just, um, dropping off
some papers for Jack. >> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
You looked like you were daydreaming.
Were you thinking about what it'd feel like to be the boss
sitting in that chair? >> Diane: No, no.
This job is beyond my reach. >> Kyle: Oh, is it?
>> Diane: Well, for now. I do have ambition, but this
isn't it. You know, Kyle, I have to be
very careful. I am determined to keep my work
life and my personal life separate.
>> Kyle: Well, I can appreciate that.
>> Diane: Yeah, well, I'm sure you -- I'm sure you understand
it, but it's a bit different for me, you know?
I don't want anyone here thinking that I'm advancing
because I'm, you know, back together with Jack.
>> Kyle: I see. I don't think that will be a
problem. And as far as I'm concerned,
we'll continue to judge you on the quality of your work like we
do with all our employees. >> Diane: That's all I'm asking.
And now that Jeremy Stark is out of the picture, I want to look
forward and focus on how I can best lend my talents to the mix.
Kyle, I think it's time for me to move up.
>> Kyle: Well, you're doing great work now, so keep up the
hard work, and we'll see what happens.
>> Diane: Well, thanks, but what I'd really like to do is to put
my years of experience and my knowledge to the best possible
use to help you and Summer build on everything you've achieved.
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm. I remember us talking about a
possible promotion before the Stark situation.
Is that what we're talking about now?
>> Diane: Well, it is, and it -- and it isn't.
I mean, I do love PR, but I think there are some other areas
where I could really make a real contribution.
>> Kyle: Mm. >> Diane: Like -- Like, thinking
about it, uh, what about Marchetti Home?
It would be the perfect division for me.
I used to stage homes all the time when I was a real estate
agent in L.A. It'd be a match made in heaven.
>> Kyle: I hadn't thought of that.
>> Diane: Yeah, it's a perfect fit, Kyle.
You need someone to fill Phyllis's gigantic shoes.
And I know it's probably hard to find someone, but maybe that's
because you're just not looking in the right place.
Look no further. >> Kyle: Wait. [ Chuckles ]
You're actually angling for Phyllis's old job?
>> Chelsea: It's none of your business if I decide to spend
time with Billy. I don't need your permission or
approval as to who I can be friends with.
>> Adam: I'm not trying to imply that you do.
>> Chelsea: Okay, Adam, um, I don't think this is about
jealousy because we're way past that, so I think it's just about
good old-fashioned hatred, and you need to get over it.
>> Adam: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Um, I can't think of one reason
why I should. >> Chelsea: I'll give you two
reasons -- me and Connor. >> Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]
>> Chelsea: I know you care about me, and I know you want me
to get better. And you have been supportive in
every other way. But the fact that you can't
acknowledge that I'm capable of making my own decisions and
that -- You know, you need to accept the fact that Billy's
gonna be a part of our life. You're making this about you
and your feelings, Adam, and it's the opposite of being
helpful. >> Adam: Okay, I know what he is
capable of. >> Chelsea: So do I.
>> Adam: [ Inhales deeply ] Okay.
Okay, fine. Alright, I really did have good
intentions, and I really don't want there to be friction
between us, so I will try harder for you and for Connor.
>> Chelsea: Thank you. >> Adam: Alright?
I said my piece, so I won't bring it up again.
>> Chelsea: Well, I appreciate that.
>> Adam: Billy is your "special friend."
But if he hurts you, I'm telling you I will not let that go.
>> Chelsea: Adam, it's my life. So, whatever happens, you have
to learn to accept it.
>> Billy: You know, my breakup with Lily -- it doesn't have
anything to do with Chelsea. >> Victoria: I am just saying
that you've been spending an awful lot of time with her.
>> Billy: And the boys. Yes. >> Victoria: You were engaged to
each other once upon a time. >> Billy: Okay, Vick, do you
want to tell me where you're going with this?
>> Victoria: You both just went through a very dark and
confusing time together. >> Billy: Yes, that is true.
And? >> Victoria: And maybe in the
process of trying to help her, you managed to form a deeper
connection based on the intensity of the emotional
situation that you went through. She needed your help, and maybe
you realized that you could be her hero.
>> Billy: I wouldn't go so far to say that.
>> Victoria: Well, neither would I...but she might.
You saved her life. You made her feel like she was
worth saving and worth your friendship.
And maybe she made you feel like the hero in a storybook.
Maybe she even gave you a little bit of a chance to rewrite
history and save someone that you care about.
That's not a bad thing. All I'm saying is, if there's
something more developing between you two than friendship,
I just hope you take your time. You should also know that it
would behoove you to realize how your actions affect other
people, like your daughter, Katie.
She's a little bit jealous that you and Johnny have been
spending so much time with Chelsea and Connor.
>> Billy: Thank you. I didn't realize.
>> Victoria: Well, now you know. You need to be aware of what
this means to your family.
>> Diane: I wouldn't say I'm angling for Phyllis's job, but
it is strange that the position at Marchetti Home fits right in
line with my skill set. >> Kyle: Yes, it's strange,
alright, but you have to understand what a combustible
situation that would be. >> Diane: Well, I don't
understand why. >> Kyle: If Phyllis finds out
you've taken her old job, she will go ballistic.
She will take this place apart brick by brick until she finds
you. >> Diane: You're exaggerating.
That wouldn't be rational. She doesn't even work here
anymore. >> Kyle: I'm sorry.
Have you met Phyllis? Is "rational" a word you would
use to describe her? >> Diane: No.
But I promise you, Kyle, this isn't about me finding a way to
get back at Phyllis. I mean, who has time for all
that? >> Kyle: It's about appearances,
Mom. >> Diane: What?
>> Kyle: Out of all the jobs at Jabot, you feel like you would
be most helpful taking over after she was fired?
>> Diane: I can't worry about appearances, Kyle.
But I do know that I am very qualified for the job.
In addition to my experience as a real estate agent, I was an
extremely successful architect. I understand form and function
as a part of design. There is so much I could bring
to the table. My goal is for you to realize
your dream in the most effective way possible.
So let me help you. >> Kyle: [ Sighs ]
Okay. Why now? Why are you coming to me about
this now? What's different today than two
weeks ago? >> Diane: Well, for one,
Jeremy Stark is no longer a threat to my life.
And now that Jack and I have grown closer, I've -- I've been
looking around, and I love seeing how closely all the
Abbotts work together. You know, you, Summer, Jack,
even Ashley, all working together for the family
business. It's wonderful.
And it's how it should be. And I want to be part of that.
I want to be part of the family. >> Kyle: So, this job is less
about ambition and more about belonging to something.
>> Diane: Yes. That's it, Kyle.
I mean, I-I love seeing how closely all of the Abbotts work
together towards a common goal. And I want to belong to that.
[ Sighs ] Look, I know this probably sounds ridiculous to
you, doesn't it? >> Kyle: Not at all, Mom.
Not at all.
>> Diane: I'm -- I'm sorry. I know that sounds silly to you.
>> Kyle: What? Wanting to be a part of a
family? I think that's a perfectly
natural thing to want. >> Diane: No, I mean wanting to
be a top-level executive just so that I can feel like part of a
family. It doesn't -- It doesn't make
any sense. But Jabot is such an integral
part of the Abbotts. You know, it's the same way for
the Newmans. And -- And Phyllis is even
working with her son, Daniel. So, working with family does
make sense. And, Kyle, I just want to
contribute and be part of it. >> Kyle: Sure.
But there are other ways to be a part of the family without
running an entire division of the company.
>> Diane: You know, I had a feeling you wouldn't understand.
You've been surrounded by a loving family your whole life.
>> Kyle: Not always. There was a time where I didn't
have a mother. >> Diane: [ Sighs ] Okay.
That's a fair point. >> Kyle: Mom, I'm --
Look, I'm sorry. I want you to feel like you
belong to the Abbotts -- because you do.
But I can't just give you this job.
I will talk to Summer, though, and we will revisit it.
You may be qualified and have good ideas, but let's be sure
it's a good fit, alright? >> Diane: Alright.
I-I appreciate that. Thank you.
>> Jack: I wasn't expecting to see you two.
>> Diane: Oh, I was just, um, dropping off some papers, and
then Kyle and I had a very productive conversation.
>> Jack: Glad to hear it. >> Kyle: I was about to go to
the marketing meeting, but I don't seem to have my --
>> Jack: Looking for this? >> Kyle: Yeah. Thanks.
I just realized I didn't have it.
I was wondering why I wasn't getting any messages.
And Summer has called me three times.
>> Diane: Where is she? >> Kyle: She's visiting a
factory in Waukesha, but she should be back soon.
I should check in with her anyways.
Excuse me. >> Jack: Hey.
You okay? >> Diane: Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
We were just -- We were just talking.
>> Jack: About what? >> Diane: Oh, family.
Are you okay? You seemed so happy this
morning, and now you seem a little agitated.
Did you talk to Kyle this morning?
>> Jack: Yeah, briefly. >> Diane: Well, I mean, he seems
to have accepted that we're back together.
Did you get a different sense from him?
>> Jack: He does seem to have accepted things, yeah.
He just wants us to take it easy, to go slow.
>> Diane: [ Laughing ] Well, it's taken us decades to get
here. How much slower can we go?
>> Jack: Yeah, you make a good point.
>> Diane: Alright, well, there must be something else bothering
you. >> Jack: I have to prepare for
what promises to be a very uncomfortable conversation
with my son. >> Diane: About what?
>> Jack: About Victor's plan to undermine Adam here at Jabot.
Kyle is more involved than he's let on.
>> Victor: Thank you, William. That's very nice of you.
I appreciate it. Yep. >> Victoria: Good call?
>> Victor: Yeah. That was an interesting call.
I just talked to a guy who's on the board of the bank that holds
Tucker's debt. And he indicated that he might
be willing to offer it to us for less than face value.
>> Victoria: I appreciate your attempts to lower our costs, but
we're already in the process of buying off Tucker's debt.
It'll be cleaner and faster to just pay the going rate.
>> Victor: But, sweetheart, you want to move that quickly?
>> Victoria: Yes, before Tucker knows what hit him.
>> Victor: Oh. You know, I've always admired
that about you, admired your focus.
You're decisive. You go after what you want.
I just wish that your brother Adam would use all of his
abilities and instincts. Instead, they're lying fallow
at Jabot with that B.S. job he has there.
>> Victoria: I have every faith that Jack has found a hundred
different ways for Adam to prove himself and Adam has found just
as many to dash his hopes. >> Victor: Imagine what we could
all accomplish around here if Adam applied his business acumen
and intelligence to our company. >> Victoria: Daddy, you've never
been one to indulge in wishful thinking.
So I assume that you're going to now tell me what your plans are
for your prodigal son.
>> Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]
>> Connor: Tell me how you fixed the printer.
>> Adam: Oh, a magician never reveals his secrets.
>> Connor: Don't you want me to be self-sufficient and know how
to fix the printer myself? Then I won't have to send you an
SOS first thing in the morning. >> Adam: Then where am I gonna
get to showcase my magical abilities?
>> Connor: What did you do? Reboot? Reconnect the network?
>> Adam: You know what? Why don't you tell me your
secret? How did you write such a
compelling book report? >> Connor: Easy.
I read the book. >> Adam: [ Laughs ]
Geez, now, why didn't I think of that?
>> Connor: And I talked to Mom about it.
She asked me questions about it, which made me think of the story
in a different way. And the report kind of wrote
itself, like magic. >> Adam: See?
Runs in the family. You've been dealing with all
sorts of complicated stuff lately.
>> Connor: Like what? >> Adam: Well, you know, finding
out about Johnny and everything your mother's going through and
Billy hanging out at the apartment all the time.
>> Connor: Billy's okay. And Mom seems happier.
She laughs and smiles more. So, that's good, right?
>> Adam: [ Scoffs ] You kidding? That's...
That is fantastic. But I just want you to know if
things ever feel less than great or if you ever need anyone
to talk to, I'm always here to listen.
>> Connor: Yeah. I know. >> Adam: Okay.
>> Billy: Hey, Connor. What do you know?
>> Adam: Uh, apparently not enough, which is why we got to
get to school. Hey, will you, um -- will you
wait for me in the car? >> Connor: Sure. See you, Billy.
>> Billy: See you later. Hey, good luck on that book
report, alright? Let me guess.
You have an opinion about me and Chelsea going out for dinner
together. >> Adam: Oh...yes, I do.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Jack: Kyle was in such a hurry to get to work, he left
his phone at home. And he got a text.
>> Diane: And you found the phone and read the message.
>> Jack: From Victor Newman, thanking Kyle for his help with
"the Adam matter" and telling him to "stay tuned."
>> Diane: Well, could it mean something else?
I mean, maybe you've misinterpreted it.
>> Jack: No, there's nothing ambivalent about this.
He's been lying to me all along. >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
>> Kyle: I know what the reaction would be, Summer, but
we can't dismiss her just because your mom would be upset.
More than upset. I know. Look, I told her we would
consider it, but not yet. Give it some time.
Maybe she'll forget all about it.
>> Diane: It's not in Kyle's nature to be duplicitous.
Why would he lie like that? >> Jack: I think it all boils
down to Adam. >> Diane: What, he hates him
that much? >> Jack: Well, I don't think
there's any love lost between the two of them, but, no, I
think it is more about a combination of Victor wanting
Adam out of here and Kyle never forgiving me for having hired
Adam in the first place. >> Diane: That sounds like a
recipe for disaster. >> Jack: It is.
Nothing good can come of the two of them colluding together.
And this wouldn't be the first time that Kyle became part of
Victor's plan. >> Diane: What?
I don't like the sound of that. >> Jack: I'll fill you in on
that later, but you should know right now that for a period
while you were gone, Kyle and Victor were very close.
>> Diane: Really? >> Jack: I just never expected
this kind of betrayal. [ Breathes deeply ]
>> Victoria: Nicholas told me that you have something in the
works to lure Adam back to work here.
>> Victor: What are your thoughts?
>> Victoria: Bringing Adam back would be a mistake.
He has a huge chip on his shoulder.
Every meeting will become contentious.
He'll put a drag on anything that we hope to accomplish,
especially if you try to force him out of Jabot and make this
the only game in town. >> Victor: Sweetheart, this is
where he belongs, and he knows it.
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ] Despite evidence to the
contrary, how many job offers of yours has he turned down anyway?
>> Victor: I think Adam will return, and he just needs to be
shown the respect that he craves and deserves.
>> Victoria: You know, I was wrong before when I said that
you didn't engage in wishful thinking -- because that's
exactly what this is. And speaking as your daughter
right now, I can only see this ending in one way -- with you
getting hurt badly.
>> Adam: I have all kinds of opinions about you and who you
are and what you do... >> Billy: Yeah.
>> Adam: ...and why you do it. >> Billy: Well, I'm sure you do.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. That's actually not why I wanted
to talk to you today. >> Billy: Okay. Go ahead.
Let's hear it. >> Adam: [ Sighs ]
Chelsea mentioned that she wanted to get Connor and Johnny
together again. And since they had such a
wonderful time when you took them ice skating, I thought that
I would step up, do my part. >> Billy: Is that right?
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. So I thought I could find
something that they enjoy and make a day of it.
>> Billy: Well, that sounds good.
I'm sure Johnny would really enjoy that.
>> Adam: That's good. >> Billy: Anything else, Adam?
>> Victor: My sweet girl, I am very touched by your concern for
me. But you don't have to worry
about a thing. Adam ain't gonna attack me,
okay? And if he does, I can take care
of myself. >> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
Well, then let me tell you what I see.
>> Victor: What? >> Victoria: A man who blames
you for everything that has gone wrong in his life, all because
of what happened after he caused that man's death when he was a
boy. Look, I know that you tried to
protect him, but he has used that as an all-purpose excuse
for the mess that he's made of his life.
>> Victor: There's some truth to that.
>> Victoria: And what's worse, that he's -- he's even convinced
you that you're the one to blame for his life and that you
deserve all the hurtful things that he has done to you because
you had the temerity to love him, including increasing the
dosage on your medication. He put your life at risk.
You didn't deserve that, Dad. You don't owe him anything.
And if you keep sticking your neck out there for Adam, he's
going to cut it off. I'm just asking you to please --
just don't put yourself in a situation where Adam blames
you for his failure and takes it out on you.
You just need to find some way to let him go.
>> Adam: Well, I'll let Connor know that you're on board with
me taking everyone to the skating rink again.
You know, maybe we'll find something more interesting to
do. >> Billy: Yeah. Sure.
Knock yourself out. >> Adam: Great.
So, I'll be in touch to set up a time and date.
>> Billy: Okay, Adam. Looking forward to it.
>> Chelsea: What happened? >> Billy: Nothing.
Actually, uh, I was about ready to, you know, brace myself for
him to tear into me because we went out for dinner together,
but nothing happened. He was astonishingly restrained.
Did you say something to him? >> Chelsea: Uh, yeah, actually.
I told him he needed to stop the fighting, and he agreed to back
off. I just didn't think he'd
actually do it. [ Laughs ]
>> Billy: Well, this doesn't happen very often, but I'm gonna
give him his props. He kept his promise to you, and
he, uh, kept his opinions to himself.
>> Chelsea: Well, I have to be honest with you, um, and warn
you -- he's not too thrilled over the fact that we're
spending time together. >> Billy: Huh.
That's funny. I had a very similar
conversation with Victoria. >> Chelsea: Huh! Did you, now?
Opinions -- everybody's got one. >> Billy: They do.
How does that sit with you?
>> Kyle: I just wanted to thank you again for bringing my phone.
>> Diane: Is Summer okay? >> Kyle: Yeah.
She's back in town. She'll be here shortly.
>> Diane: Oh, good. Well, lesson learned.
Keep your phone close. >> Kyle: Yeah, I usually do.
I just forgot today. And we had to reschedule the
marketing meeting because they weren't able to get a hold of
me. Is that why you're mad?
>> Jack: It's not. >> Diane: I hate to run, but I
need to revise a press release. I'll leave you two to talk.
[ Door closes ] >> Kyle: So, what's going on?
>> Jack: I don't know. You tell me.
>> Kyle: Look, I'm sorry. I messed up.
I missed the meeting. It was a mistake.
It won't happen aga-- >> Jack: This isn't about a
meeting. I couldn't give a damn about the
meeting. >> Kyle: Okay, then what's it
about?
>> Jack: You've been lying to me.
>> Chelsea: I'm dealing with important issues right now,
getting back into the swing of things, taking care of myself,
being healthy. I mean, I can't believe I wasted
all that energy worrying about what people at Society thought
we were doing there together. >> Billy: There you go.
>> Chelsea: I mean, so what if Abby -- or anybody else, for
that matter -- thought we were on a date?
Who cares? >> Billy: Hell, yeah.
>> Chelsea: Hell, yeah! [ Both laugh ]
And, you know, I really appreciated the way that you
very smoothly told that server that we were not, in fact, on a
date. >> Billy: Yeah, I did that.
Not so smooth, but thank you. >> Chelsea: I mean, listen, I've
done way worse than go on a date with the likes of you.
>> Billy: I appreciate that. It's by far the best compliment
I've had all day. >> Chelsea: [ Laughs ]
Listen, if the worst thing people can say about me is
I went on a date, then I'm doing something right.
I'm not gonna get bent out of shape over what people think
about me anymore. I'm grateful for where I'm at,
where we're at. Friends.
>> Billy: Friends.
>> Victoria: Do you know that when I was a little girl, I --
I used to believe that there was almost nothing that you couldn't
do. >> Victor: "Almost"?
>> Victoria: Well, there are a few things out of your reach.
>> Victor: What? What?
>> Victoria: Fixing the plumbing.
>> Victor: Oh, well... [ Chuckles ]
You know. >> Victoria: Mm.
And making somebody want something that they don't.
>> Victor: Mm-hmm. >> Victoria: You know, Adam
doesn't want to be a part of this family.
He's made that perfectly clear. You should take him at his word.
>> Victor: Sweetheart, whatever he says, whatever he claims,
he belongs with this family. He belongs with me.
He's part of me, okay? >> Victoria: I'm not saying that
he doesn't want to be a Newman. I'm just saying he wants to be
the only Newman. That makes him dangerous and
unpredictable. >> Victor: I'm not worried about
that. I've tried many times to, you
know, shut him out and... been angry with him,
disillusioned with him. I just can't, you know?
And I don't want to. All I can tell you is that
whatever plans I have devised for him to come back here and be
part of this is not gonna impact our company negatively,
nor is it gonna impact you badly.
>> Victoria: But, Daddy... >> Victor: What?
>> Victoria: ...what about you? You've always been his target.
You have the most to lose here. >> Victor: My baby, I'm touched
by your concern, but don't you worry about your dad.
Don't ever worry about me, okay? I can take care of myself.
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ] I wish I could believe you, but
with Adam, there's always a negative impact on everyone.
>> Victor: I'm his father. He's part of me.
I can't let him go.
>> Kyle: I'm not sure what
you're talking about. >> Jack: You left your phone at
home. >> Kyle: I know, and I was
thanking you for bri-- >> Jack: When I picked it up,
it had a message on it from Victor Newman.
I want to know everything. >> Kyle: Dad, I...
There must have been a misunderstanding.
>> Jack: In the message, Victor thanked you for helping with the
Adam matter and asked that you stay tuned.
What am I misunderstanding here? >> Kyle: I-I don't know.
I haven't read the message. >> Jack: It's on your phone.
Take a look. >> Kyle: Maybe Victor sent it to
the wrong number. >> Jack: Oh, you think that's
it? He mistakenly sent you a message
about Adam? >> Kyle: Maybe.
I-I-I don't know. >> Jack: I do know!
You have been colluding with Victor Newman behind my back,
trying to sabotage Adam here at Jabot.
I know that! What I don't know is why.
Why are you so determined to run Adam out of Jabot?
>> Kyle: Because he doesn't belong here, Dad!
