1
00:00:06,506 --> 00:00:09,509
>> Tucker: Mm.
2
00:00:09,576 --> 00:00:11,077
Step into my parlor.
3
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:14,581
>> Audra: [ Chuckles ]
Said the spider to the fly.
4
00:00:14,647 --> 00:00:16,783
I come bearing news.
5
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,918
>> Tucker: I'm dying to hear.
6
00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:21,588
>> Audra: You're not gonna offer
me a drink?
7
00:00:21,654 --> 00:00:23,623
>> Tucker: Depends on the news.
8
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:28,094
>> Audra: Victoria just learned
someone else bought your debt.
9
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:29,496
>> Tucker: Mm.
10
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:31,731
Beat her to the punch, huh?
11
00:00:31,798 --> 00:00:33,900
>> Audra: So, where's that drink
you mentioned?
12
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:36,369
>> Tucker: For old news?
13
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:39,239
Victoria's the one who told me.
14
00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:43,109
You're gonna have to work harder
than that if you want a reward.
15
00:00:43,176 --> 00:00:44,444
>> Audra: Mm.
16
00:00:44,511 --> 00:00:48,815
Well, aren't you curious to know
who owns your debt now?
17
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,350
>> Tucker: Not really.
18
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:53,319
>> Audra: You know, either
someone is doing you an enormous
19
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:58,625
favor by bailing you out or
someone wants to control you.
20
00:00:58,691 --> 00:01:01,094
An angel or an enemy.
21
00:01:01,161 --> 00:01:03,897
Any idea who's behind this move?
22
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:07,434
>> Ashley: Hi.
23
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,369
>> Abby: Hi.
24
00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:11,604
>> Ashley: Oh.
25
00:01:11,671 --> 00:01:13,239
You look a little tired.
26
00:01:13,306 --> 00:01:14,307
>> Abby: Thank you for noticing.
27
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:15,408
>> Ashley: Well, you do.
28
00:01:15,475 --> 00:01:16,810
Is it Dom?
29
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:18,111
>> Abby: No, it isn't.
30
00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:20,313
It's Devon, actually.
31
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:23,016
He's ready to go into battle
with Lily and Jill.
32
00:01:23,082 --> 00:01:24,150
>> Ashley: Over what?
33
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:27,454
>> Abby: Well, he wants to undo
the merger and buy back
34
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,655
Hamilton-Winters.
35
00:01:28,721 --> 00:01:32,792
And he doesn't want the company
to go public, and they do.
36
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:34,327
>> Ashley: And they won't sell
it to him?
37
00:01:34,394 --> 00:01:37,030
>> Abby: No, because they're
afraid that if he takes his
38
00:01:37,096 --> 00:01:39,365
company out of the merger, it's
gonna devalue both
39
00:01:39,432 --> 00:01:41,601
Hamilton-Winters and Chancellor.
40
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:42,902
>> Ashley: Ah.
41
00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:44,871
So, what's his plan?
42
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:46,039
>> Abby: He's gonna sue them.
43
00:01:46,105 --> 00:01:48,608
He's gonna try to force their
hand, and it's gonna be this
44
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:50,143
big uphill battle.
45
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:53,012
And even Devon has admitted
that he could lose.
46
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:55,882
>> Ashley: So, are you concerned
about Devon because he's your
47
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:59,419
good friend and the father of
your child, or is there more
48
00:01:59,486 --> 00:02:07,527
going on between the two of you
than that mistake you made?

landscape.
54
00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:43,463
We need to come up with a new
plan.
55
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:44,864
>> Victoria: Alright.
56
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:48,301
Well, someone else owns Tucker's
debt, but he's still in control
57
00:02:48,368 --> 00:02:49,269
of his company.
58
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,104

59
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:52,972
>> Victoria: You have an idea.
60
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:56,976
>> Nate: Maybe we need to give
up on the idea of leveraging
61
00:02:57,043 --> 00:02:58,344
Tucker to sell low.
62
00:02:58,411 --> 00:03:01,347
It all comes down to risk versus
reward.
63
00:03:01,414 --> 00:03:04,851
The bigger the risk, the bigger
the reward.
64
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:08,655
The object of your desire is out
of reach.
65
00:03:08,721 --> 00:03:12,492
The question is, how bad do you
want it?
66
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:17,797
How far are you willing to go
to get it?
67
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,166
>> Devon: No, Christine, let me
tell you something about my
68
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:21,301
sister.
69
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:23,136
She's not gonna get talked out
of anything at this point.
70
00:03:23,202 --> 00:03:25,939
So there's really no chance that
this is gonna get resolved
71
00:03:26,005 --> 00:03:27,740
outside of the courtroom.
72
00:03:27,807 --> 00:03:31,277
So, if Jill and Lily want to go
to war, then that's exactly what
73
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:33,279
we're gonna give them.
74
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:40,653
>> Daniel: So, are we back to
not talking about things?
75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,558
Because I know that's what you
said you wanted, but then you
76
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:48,094
started venting, which
admittedly has me a little
77
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:49,796
confused.
78
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:51,864
Is venting considered talking?
79
00:03:51,931 --> 00:03:53,433
Am I supposed to respond?
80
00:03:53,499 --> 00:03:54,834
Do I just pretend like nothing
happened?
81
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:56,269
Because I'm good either way.
82
00:03:56,336 --> 00:03:58,972
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ] Oh, God.
83
00:03:59,038 --> 00:04:01,541
We were talking.

You know...
85
00:04:02,842 --> 00:04:05,678
>> Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ]
Right, just talking without the
86
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:06,112
words.
87
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:07,013
Yeah. Got it.

[ Chuckles ]
>> Lily: I don't know.
89
00:04:10,483 --> 00:04:14,053
I like that we can be here in
silence, you know, that we're
90
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,359
that comfortable with each
other.
91
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:21,527

92
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:24,764
It's nice.
93
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:29,836
>> Lily: It's been a while since
I felt that way with anyone.
94
00:04:29,902 --> 00:04:34,007
>> Daniel: What way?
95
00:04:34,073 --> 00:04:37,677

96
00:04:37,744 --> 00:04:40,213
Connected?

Um, did we almost just...

God.
100
00:05:02,869 --> 00:05:04,237

101
00:05:04,303 --> 00:05:06,205
>> Lily: What are we thinking?
102
00:05:06,272 --> 00:05:10,943
>> Daniel: Uh...that we're both
miserable and looking for some
103
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:11,811
relief?
104
00:05:11,878 --> 00:05:13,746

I'm really sorry.
105
00:05:13,813 --> 00:05:14,614

106
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:15,381
You don't apologize.
107
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:16,582
I was right there with you.
108
00:05:16,649 --> 00:05:18,484
>> Lily: No, honestly, if I do
anything like that again, just
109
00:05:18,551 --> 00:05:18,951
slap me.
110
00:05:19,018 --> 00:05:20,053
>> Daniel: Never.
111
00:05:20,119 --> 00:05:21,554
We will never get close enough
to ever try that again.

I promise.

You know, we should probably
just put it all out there, you

know, for ourselves and for each
other to remind us that we
124

It's your idea.

Yeah, um, let's see.

00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:30,056
It's only been a couple of days
since the woman who was supposed
140
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,525
to go through the rest of my
life with me told me that she's

Uh, let's see.

00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:09,395
I am dealing with the heartbreak
of breaking up with my

Well...
178
00:07:54,707 --> 00:07:59,846
[ Chuckles ]
Look at us, huh?
179
00:07:59,912 --> 00:08:03,082
Just a pathetic pair of
brokenhearted fools.
180
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,317
>> Lily: Yep. Yep.
181
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:05,818
>> Daniel: What happened?
182
00:08:05,885 --> 00:08:07,620
We weren't always like this.
183
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:08,855
>> Lily: I know.
184
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:13,492
We thought that life and love
was this fountain of happiness.
185
00:08:13,559 --> 00:08:14,894
>> Daniel: When did we get so
jaded?
186
00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:15,862
>> Lily: What do you mean?
187
00:08:15,928 --> 00:08:19,165
'Cause we learn that it's not,
that love sucks.
188
00:08:19,232 --> 00:08:20,066
It's awful.
189
00:08:20,132 --> 00:08:21,000
>> Daniel: Love does.
190
00:08:21,067 --> 00:08:21,968
Love sucks.
191
00:08:22,034 --> 00:08:23,870
It sucks.
192
00:08:23,936 --> 00:08:25,304
Who needs it?
193
00:08:25,371 --> 00:08:32,178
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
>> Daniel: [ Sighs ]
194
00:08:32,245 --> 00:08:36,415
>> Abby: Look, I don't know if I
would still call what happened
195
00:08:36,482 --> 00:08:39,919
between Devon and me a mistake.
196
00:08:39,986 --> 00:08:44,090
Look, there were some deep
cracks in my relationship with
197
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:45,291
Chance.
198
00:08:45,358 --> 00:08:47,793
When he came back from Spain,
nothing was the same, and that
199
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:50,529
is something that Chance and I
have talked about openly and
200
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:52,632
honestly.
201
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:56,669
I think that we were heading
towards the end and what
202
00:08:56,736 --> 00:08:59,338
happened with Devon just
accelerated that.
203
00:08:59,405 --> 00:09:00,973
>> Ashley: I know all this.
204
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,042
And you know that I like Devon.
205
00:09:03,109 --> 00:09:05,611
And the two of you have been
friends for a very long time.
206
00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:06,913
I'm happy you have each other.
207
00:09:06,979 --> 00:09:08,281
>> Abby: Mom --
>> Ashley: Well, and you have a
208
00:09:08,347 --> 00:09:09,615
child together.
209
00:09:09,682 --> 00:09:12,351
>> Abby: Yes, we do, but we're
not rushing into anything, if
210
00:09:12,418 --> 00:09:13,185
that's what you're asking.
211
00:09:13,252 --> 00:09:14,287
>> Ashley: Mm, mm.
212
00:09:14,353 --> 00:09:17,089
>> Abby: Devon and I -- we are
very devoted to Dominic.
213
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:18,291
We are there for each other.
214
00:09:18,357 --> 00:09:19,525
We care about each other.
215
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:22,161
And that is the most important
thing right now, especially with
216
00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:23,896
everything he's going through.
217
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:26,399
>> Ashley: Yeah, well, family
and business can be a very
218
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:28,301
volatile combination.
219
00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:30,236
Or so I've been told.
220
00:09:30,303 --> 00:09:33,973
>> Abby: The thing is, is that,
I mean, no one really wins.
221
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,777
I mean, what's going on -- it
could permanently have a
222
00:09:37,843 --> 00:09:40,579
negative effect on Lily and
Devon's relationship, and he's
223
00:09:40,646 --> 00:09:43,215
already lost so many people.
224
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:44,350
>> Ashley: I wish I could help.
225
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,520
I mean, I would, but I don't
know anything about problems
226
00:09:47,586 --> 00:09:48,688
with a sibling.
227
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:51,157
>> Abby: Are things still bad
between you and Uncle Jack?
228
00:09:51,223 --> 00:09:52,024
>> Ashley: So bad.
229
00:09:52,091 --> 00:09:53,092
>> Abby: Mm.
230
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:54,860
>> Ashley: We are smack dab in
the middle of a major
231
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:56,629
disconnect.
232
00:09:56,696 --> 00:10:00,967
>> Abby: I assume that has to do
with Diane, but I have heard
233
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:03,269
some rumblings about Tucker.
234
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:05,604
So, I have to ask.
235
00:10:05,671 --> 00:10:07,773
What's going on between the two
of you?
236
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,209
>> Ashley: [ Sighs ]
>> Tucker: Yeah, that's the
237
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:11,377
question, isn't it?
238
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:14,947
Who would want to buy my debt,
knowing they would not have
239
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:18,084
outright control of my company?
240
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:21,687
Seems to me the only thing they
would stand to gain is the means
241
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:27,126
to complicate my life, make
demands.
242
00:10:27,193 --> 00:10:30,730
[ Sighs ]
Never ceases to fascinate me,
243
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:35,101
what motivates people to do the
things they do.
244
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:38,604
>> Audra: You know, as much as I
love to ruminate on how
245
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:41,741
fascinating the human psyche can
be, we have more practical
246
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:43,175
matters to consider.
247
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:44,110
>> Tucker: Do we?
248
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:46,779
>> Audra: You were willing to
sell McCall to
249
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:52,051
Newman Enterprises, which I find
out of character.
250
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:55,788
I imagine this throws a wrench
in those plans?
251
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:59,125
>> Tucker: Oh, Audra.
252
00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:01,327
Such a disappointment.
253
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:03,029
>> Audra: What is?
254
00:11:03,095 --> 00:11:05,064
>> Tucker: You.
255
00:11:05,131 --> 00:11:07,066
This performance.
256
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,135
You're slipping.
257
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:17,810
>> Devon: What gets me is this
whole thing could be resolved if
258
00:11:17,877 --> 00:11:20,379
Lily would just side with her
family and have her own opinions
259
00:11:20,446 --> 00:11:22,615
instead of just going along with
Jill's, but she doesn't know how
260
00:11:22,681 --> 00:11:23,516
to do that.
261
00:11:23,582 --> 00:11:29,822
So, I mean, at this point,
it's her choice.
262
00:11:29,889 --> 00:11:31,057
Well, I appreciate that.
263
00:11:31,123 --> 00:11:34,827
And I thank you again for taking
this whole thing on.
264
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:36,462
Alright, we'll talk soon.
265
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:37,463
>> Daniel: What do you want?
266
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:38,798
It's on me.
267
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:41,600
>> Lily: Oh, um, I don't know.
268
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:44,236
Do you have something for a
broken heart?
269
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:46,072
>> Daniel: Uh...
270
00:11:46,138 --> 00:11:46,772
Hot chocolate.
271
00:11:46,839 --> 00:11:47,740
>> Lily: Oh, hot chocolate.
272
00:11:47,807 --> 00:11:48,574
That works.
273
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:51,243
>> Daniel: Two hot chocolates,
please.
274
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:54,613
>> Lily: So, talk to me about
Omega Sphere.
275
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,615
What are you thinking?
276
00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:59,151
'Cause I remember you saying
that, you know, you wanted to
277
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,720
think things through after what
happened with Heather.
278
00:12:01,787 --> 00:12:02,922
>> Daniel: Yeah.
279
00:12:02,988 --> 00:12:08,227
Well, you know, I was using the
project as my escape hatch.
280
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:11,130
I know it makes sense to move
forward with the platform,
281
00:12:11,197 --> 00:12:12,531
but...
282
00:12:12,598 --> 00:12:14,433
>> Lily: But your heart's not in
it anymore.
283
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:16,302
>> Daniel: If I'm not passionate
about it, does it even make
284
00:12:16,368 --> 00:12:17,903
sense to continue?
285
00:12:20,339 --> 00:12:24,310
>> Victoria: My father wants to
buy McCall and install Adam as
286
00:12:24,376 --> 00:12:29,615
top dog as a way to try to lure
him back into the fold.
287
00:12:29,682 --> 00:12:30,783
>> Nate: Will it work?
288
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:33,652
>> Victoria: Who knows if my
brother will go along with it
289
00:12:33,719 --> 00:12:34,887
or not.
290
00:12:34,954 --> 00:12:37,590
There's no guarantee.
291
00:12:37,656 --> 00:12:41,093
But I think that the move is a
monumental waste because I have
292
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,695
my own plans for the company.
293
00:12:42,761 --> 00:12:44,497
>> Nate: This sounds intriguing.
294
00:12:44,563 --> 00:12:48,067
>> Victoria: I intend to
dismantle McCall and fill in the
295
00:12:48,134 --> 00:12:52,471
gaps and move the pieces where
they will benefit us the most.
296
00:12:52,538 --> 00:12:54,673
And when I do get my hands on
the company, I have something
297
00:12:54,740 --> 00:12:56,375
very special in mind for you.
298
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:57,409
>> Nate: For me?
299
00:12:57,476 --> 00:13:00,846
Well, the anticipation is
killing me.
300
00:13:00,913 --> 00:13:03,282
>> Victoria: Well, I have this
fantasy.
301
00:13:03,349 --> 00:13:05,151
>> Nate: Go on.
302
00:13:05,217 --> 00:13:07,453
>> Victoria: McCall's
entertainment division will
303
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,587
become a part of Newman Media.
304
00:13:08,654 --> 00:13:10,756
You should take a look at their
list of titles.
305
00:13:10,823 --> 00:13:11,991
It'll blow your mind.
306
00:13:12,057 --> 00:13:14,860
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
I can definitely picture the
307
00:13:14,927 --> 00:13:16,495
possibilities.
308
00:13:16,562 --> 00:13:19,231
>> Victoria: I knew you would.
309
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:20,966
Creative mind like yours.
310
00:13:21,033 --> 00:13:23,602
This is gonna be good for both
of us.
311
00:13:23,669 --> 00:13:25,804
>> Nate: So, we agree.
312
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:27,573
The reward is worth the risk.
313
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,607
>> Victoria: Oh, absolutely.
314
00:13:28,674 --> 00:13:30,976
Yes. The financing is in place.
315
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:32,044
We're ready to make our move.
316
00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:33,445
There's nothing holding us back.
317
00:13:33,512 --> 00:13:36,715
[ Breathes deeply ]
This is one of those rare
318
00:13:36,782 --> 00:13:40,853
opportunities when everything
is just lined up perfectly.
319
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,223
I think we'd -- we'd be crazy
not to take the chance.
320
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:45,391
>> Nate: You'd regret it.
321
00:13:45,457 --> 00:13:47,193
>> Victoria: I know what the
public's gonna to say.
322
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:49,862
I know they're gonna say that
I'm greedy, and that I -- I'm
323
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:52,765
never satisfied and that Newman
never met a company that it
324
00:13:52,831 --> 00:13:54,400
didn't consume.
325
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:57,236
>> Nate: And what will you say?
326
00:13:57,303 --> 00:13:59,838
>> Victoria: There's nothing
wrong with wanting more and
327
00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:01,373
taking it when it's offered.
328
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,609
Tucker came to me to sell.
329
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:06,378
So, whatever pushed him to make
this decision was a very
330
00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:08,614
powerful motivator.
331
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:12,551
That's maybe something that we
could use to our advantage.
332
00:14:12,618 --> 00:14:17,289
The key is, how do we best do
that?
333
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:21,894
>> Nate: Hopefully our source
will find out that information.
334
00:14:21,961 --> 00:14:25,531
>> Tucker: You've lost your
elegance when it comes to
335
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:26,765
subterfuge.
336
00:14:26,832 --> 00:14:29,602
>> Audra: I don't know what
you're talking about.
337
00:14:29,668 --> 00:14:33,806
>> Tucker: You have intermittent
flashes of brilliance, of
338
00:14:33,872 --> 00:14:39,345
course, but you still lack a
certain, uh, je ne sais quoi.
339
00:14:39,411 --> 00:14:42,314
Were you just counting on me
being so gobsmacked by your
340
00:14:42,381 --> 00:14:44,450
beauty that I would tell you
everything you want to know?
341
00:14:44,516 --> 00:14:47,219
>> Audra: [ Sighs ] Look, I came
here to pass along information,
342
00:14:47,286 --> 00:14:48,087
like we'd agreed.
343
00:14:48,153 --> 00:14:50,923
>> Tucker: Please don't --
Audra.
344
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,424
Don't insult my intelligence.
345
00:14:52,491 --> 00:14:56,528
It's obvious you're here to
squeeze information out of me.
346
00:14:56,595 --> 00:15:00,199
I know how capable you are,
including playing both sides.
347
00:15:00,266 --> 00:15:06,071
No, don't bother to deny it.
348
00:15:06,138 --> 00:15:10,676
The real question is, now that I
know why you're here and that
349
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:17,583
you're not really on my side,
how do I handle the situation?
350
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:20,152
>> Audra: Just...
351
00:15:28,494 --> 00:15:29,795
>> Audra: Look, I have no idea
what you're getting at.
352
00:15:29,862 --> 00:15:31,997
>> Tucker: Audra, please.
353
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:37,236
I helped you perfect this
doe-eyed innocent act of yours.
354
00:15:37,303 --> 00:15:38,671
>> Audra: Alright.
355
00:15:38,737 --> 00:15:41,373
Let's say you're not entirely
wrong.
356
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,008
Can't two things be true at
once?
357
00:15:43,075 --> 00:15:45,411
>> Tucker: So, you admit that
you're here collecting intel on
358
00:15:45,477 --> 00:15:47,179
the state of play at my company?
359
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:49,748
>> Audra: I'm not entirely
denying it.
360
00:15:49,815 --> 00:15:54,520
But that doesn't mean I've
stopped being a major asset,
361
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:55,721
your secret weapon.
362
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:58,290
>> Tucker: You're a weapon that
cuts both ways, aren't you?
363
00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:02,294
>> Audra: You know how good I am
at multitasking.
364
00:16:02,361 --> 00:16:05,964
Think of me as your special
friendly conduit.
365
00:16:06,031 --> 00:16:11,337
I can both bring and receive
information because, ultimately,
366
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:16,508
I am in it for myself, which
you've always found refreshing.
367
00:16:16,575 --> 00:16:19,445
>> Tucker: Well, I'm finding my
refreshment elsewhere these
368
00:16:19,511 --> 00:16:24,016
days, including something very
fine and rare.
369
00:16:24,083 --> 00:16:27,252
>> Audra: [ Chuckles ]
>> Tucker: And much more
370
00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:27,720
profound.
371
00:16:27,786 --> 00:16:29,755
>> Audra: Oh.
372
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:32,324
How adorable.
373
00:16:32,391 --> 00:16:38,197
Tucker McCall is actually in
love.
374
00:16:38,263 --> 00:16:41,133
>> Ashley: I wish I could give
you a simple explanation about
375
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,636
my relationship with Tucker, but
it's as complicated as he is.
376
00:16:44,703 --> 00:16:46,638
I mean, you know I didn't
believe him when he came back to
377
00:16:46,705 --> 00:16:47,673
town.
378
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:49,475
He said that he changed and he
wanted to try again.
379
00:16:49,541 --> 00:16:50,175
>> Abby: Yes, I know.
380
00:16:50,242 --> 00:16:51,443
I know you didn't buy that.
381
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:53,312
>> Ashley: Right, but I thought
I'd spend time with him and find
382
00:16:53,379 --> 00:16:55,447
out what he's really after.
383
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:57,416
And then the more time I spent
with him, I thought, "Well,
384
00:16:57,483 --> 00:16:59,785
maybe he has changed."
385
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:01,987
And then I found out that he
came back because he was coming
386
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:03,789
after Jabot and
Chancellor-Winters.
387
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:06,225
>> Abby: Even though he swore up
and down that he came back to
388
00:17:06,291 --> 00:17:08,360
try to make things right with
you and reconnect with Devon.
389
00:17:08,427 --> 00:17:10,763
>> Ashley: But like I said, it's
complicated because I do believe
390
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:12,731
that he wanted us united.
391
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:16,268
He wanted powerhouses, you know,
coming together with their
392
00:17:16,335 --> 00:17:17,503
businesses and their families.
393
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:21,907
And Devon did tell me that
Tucker told him the same thing.
394
00:17:21,974 --> 00:17:23,275
>> Ashley: Okay. Well, see?
395
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:26,145
There's evidence then that at
least that part of his plan was
396
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:27,312
genuine.
397
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:28,580
>> Abby: Yeah, but you're not
gonna take his word on that,
398
00:17:28,647 --> 00:17:29,081
are you?
399
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:30,916
>> Ashley: Hell no.
400
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:35,621
>> Lily: You know, I think you
need to remember why you're
401
00:17:35,687 --> 00:17:37,756
doing this in the first place.
402
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:39,258
Remember how this all started.
403
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:42,227
This all came from you playing a
simple video game with your
404
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:42,795
daughter.
405
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:43,395
Thank you.
406
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:45,664
>> Daniel: Thank you.
407
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:50,269
Yeah, I mean, that was something
special that we shared.
408
00:17:50,335 --> 00:17:51,770
>> Lily: Yeah.
409
00:17:51,837 --> 00:17:54,273
And it was about more than
racking up points.
410
00:17:54,339 --> 00:17:59,545
It helped you imagine something
advanced and creative.
411
00:17:59,611 --> 00:18:03,515
And you are so close to making
this dream a reality.
412
00:18:03,582 --> 00:18:07,719
This is about making something
beautiful from the pieces that
413
00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:09,888
have been left behind.
414
00:18:09,955 --> 00:18:11,523
So do it for yourself.
415
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:13,225
Do it for Lucy.
416
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:17,196
Do it for all of the people who
can share in that feeling when
417
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:21,200
they log in to your world.
418
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:22,468
>> Chelsea: Oh.
419
00:18:22,534 --> 00:18:23,936
Just the people I was looking
for.
420
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:24,403
>> Daniel: Hey.
421
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:24,870
>> Chelsea: Hey.
422
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:25,571
>> Lily: Hey.
423
00:18:25,637 --> 00:18:26,205
>> Chelsea: Hi, Lily.
424
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:28,073
Do you mind if I interrupt?
425
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,175
>> Lily: Uh, no. Sure.
426
00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:33,512
>> Chelsea: I've been reading
about your recent project, how
427
00:18:33,579 --> 00:18:37,216
you want to put a positive spin
on gaming, change people's lives
428
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:38,383
for the better.
429
00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:39,418
>> Daniel: Does Connor play
much?
430
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:41,253
>> Chelsea: Oh, only every
chance he gets.
431
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,388
[ Laughs ] And I play with him,
too, a little bit here and
432
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:45,657
there, just to, you know, get a
lay of the land, make sure it's
433
00:18:45,724 --> 00:18:46,425
age-appropriate.
434
00:18:46,492 --> 00:18:48,293
>> Daniel: You've got to.
435
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,561
>> Chelsea: I was thinking.
436
00:18:49,628 --> 00:18:53,765
Um, gaming can change how people
think about the world, how they
437
00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:54,933
think about themselves.
438
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,901
It gives them ideas.
439
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:57,636
>> Daniel: Ideally, yeah.
440
00:18:57,703 --> 00:19:00,105
I mean, that's what I'm trying
to accomplish.
441
00:19:00,172 --> 00:19:02,975
>> Chelsea: Well, what if your
platform could help people who
442
00:19:03,041 --> 00:19:05,010
are struggling emotionally?
443
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:07,946
I've got an idea, and, um, I
thought maybe I could share my
444
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:10,949
story and pick your brain.
445
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:14,987
Unless, of course, this is a bad
time.
446
00:19:15,053 --> 00:19:17,823
>> Daniel: Actually, your timing
couldn't be better.
447
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:32,271
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
448
00:19:49,988 --> 00:19:52,090
>> Abby: You say you don't
believe a word that Tucker says
449
00:19:52,157 --> 00:19:54,693
and then he starts talking about
family first and you think he's
450
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,161
being sincere?
451
00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:58,897
>> Ashley: Okay, look...
452
00:19:58,964 --> 00:20:02,768
Tucker's methods often belie his
original good intentions.
453
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:05,437
You know, he doesn't seem to be
able to do the right thing in
454
00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:07,839
the right way for the right
reasons.
455
00:20:07,906 --> 00:20:09,975
It's definitely a character
flaw.
456
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:10,976
>> Abby: Mm.
457
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:14,446
Yes, that and the fact that he's
a habitual liar.
458
00:20:14,513 --> 00:20:16,481
>> Ashley: True.
459
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,917
>> Abby: Mom, why do I get the
feeling that you're about to
460
00:20:18,984 --> 00:20:22,821
give him another chance?
461
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:26,258
>> Ashley: I did a thing.
462
00:20:26,325 --> 00:20:30,462
And I'm hoping, gosh, maybe
it'll force him to do the right
463
00:20:30,529 --> 00:20:31,897
thing.
464
00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:33,432
The ball's gonna be in his
court.
465
00:20:33,498 --> 00:20:36,835
>> Abby: Force him to do what?
466
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:38,270
>> Ashley: I can't say anything.
467
00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:41,840
But if it works out the way I'm
hoping it will, it'll be good
468
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,041
for everybody involved.
469
00:20:43,108 --> 00:20:44,576
>> Abby: And if it doesn't?
470
00:20:44,643 --> 00:20:46,845

remain optimistic.

You jealous?
477
00:20:58,824 --> 00:21:00,892
>> Audra: Hardly.
478
00:21:00,959 --> 00:21:06,398
You may be in love or whatever,
but you're less of a catch now
479

that you are deeply in debt.

is in a constant state of

change.

now that someone else controls

00:21:25,751 --> 00:21:29,154
you and everything you had is
gone?
486
00:21:29,221 --> 00:21:31,890

on.

The public has a short memory.

>> Tucker: You should probably
go.

Audra, remember -- I may have
taught you most of what you

know, but not everything I know.

00:22:10,796 --> 00:22:13,165
I stopped by earlier to see if
you were here, and you weren't.
496
00:22:13,231 --> 00:22:16,068
Ended up running into Nate and
Lily instead.
497
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:18,804
>> Abby: Ohh, I'm afraid to ask.
498
00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:20,472
>> Devon: Yeah, it wasn't great.
499
00:22:20,539 --> 00:22:23,275
Nate was trying to play mediator
between me and Lily, as if he
500
00:22:23,341 --> 00:22:25,377
has a say in our lives at all.

better with Lily?

She's making this whole thing
personal for whatever reason.
504

I don't know.

And she's determined to take me
to war.

to this point, and I am so sorry
507
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:43,128
that you have to go through all
of this.
508

>> Devon: That's okay.
509
00:22:44,396 --> 00:22:47,099
I hate that the blame for all
this conflict falls on me when

00:22:47,165 --> 00:22:50,635
Lily and Jill could end it just
by selling me my company back.

won't do that.

that, just like they won't

change their minds about the IPO
deal, even though they've
514
00:22:57,209 --> 00:22:59,211
experienced firsthand how risky
it is.
515
00:22:59,277 --> 00:23:02,147
We had our damn cousin try and
sell us out to a Newman, and
516

then Tucker puts a spy in the
company to try and take us over.
517
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:11,757

that it could be a mistake to

compare Tucker's motivation for
taking over the company to

00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:17,395
Victoria's.
520
00:23:17,462 --> 00:23:19,264
>> Devon: What are you talking
about?
521
00:23:19,331 --> 00:23:22,567
>> Abby: Believe me, I am very
skeptical when it comes to
522
00:23:22,634 --> 00:23:24,035
Tucker.
523
00:23:24,102 --> 00:23:27,739
But I think it may be possible
that his plan wasn't entirely
524
00:23:27,806 --> 00:23:29,274
driven by greed.
525
00:23:31,743 --> 00:23:34,012
>> Victoria: We need to make
this a very easy decision for
526
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:38,750
Tucker, give him a high-ball
number, an amount so enticing
527
00:23:38,817 --> 00:23:41,052
that he won't be able to reject
it.
528
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,155
We'll show him that we have the
funding in place.
529
00:23:43,221 --> 00:23:45,924
>> Nate: Offering him enough
money will mean he can buy back
530
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:46,992
his own debt.
531
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:48,693
So he's not beholden to anyone.
532
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,763
>> Victoria: Unless whoever
bought it has an ulterior motive
533
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:53,899
and is not inclined to sell the
debt.
534
00:23:53,965 --> 00:23:55,801
>> Nate: Any idea on who this
might be?
535
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:56,868
>> Victoria: No.
536
00:23:56,935 --> 00:23:58,503
My father has Michael looking
into it, but it's very
537
00:23:58,570 --> 00:24:01,239
unsettling not knowing.
538
00:24:01,306 --> 00:24:05,310
>> Nate: I didn't realize you
had so little patience.
539
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:10,015
>> Victoria: I do, when
necessary.
540
00:24:10,081 --> 00:24:12,684
Right now I need as much
information as possible so that
541
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:17,455
I can make my move because
information is power and
542
00:24:17,522 --> 00:24:20,458
power -- power is control.
543
00:24:20,525 --> 00:24:23,929
>> Nate: And you like having
control?
544
00:24:23,995 --> 00:24:26,231
>> Victoria: It's every bit
as important to me as money,
545
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:27,632
if not more so.
546
00:24:52,691 --> 00:24:57,195
>> Chelsea: I, um...
547
00:24:57,262 --> 00:25:00,899
I went through a really dark
time recently.
548
00:25:00,966 --> 00:25:04,803
I didn't know if I was ever
gonna see the light again.
549
00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:10,442
Um...it's -- it's been a
treacherous journey.
550
00:25:10,508 --> 00:25:11,877
>> Daniel: I'm sorry to hear
that.
551
00:25:11,943 --> 00:25:13,879
>> Chelsea: I hurt someone.
552
00:25:13,945 --> 00:25:17,449
But he forgave me when I
couldn't forgive myself.
553
00:25:17,515 --> 00:25:21,720
He, uh, believed in me when I
didn't have faith.
554
00:25:21,786 --> 00:25:24,723
He made me feel like I was a
good person.
555
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:27,025
And then he died.
556
00:25:27,092 --> 00:25:33,798
And the world became a colder,
much darker place.
557
00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:36,935
Uh, but I-I had to be strong and
I picked myself up and I tried
558
00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:38,203
to move forward.
559
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:41,606
And, um -- And I actually joined
a friend's podcast, and it was a
560
00:25:41,673 --> 00:25:42,707
lifesaver.
561
00:25:42,774 --> 00:25:43,808
It was really fun.
562
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:45,610
But we also talked about serious
stuff, too, you know?
563
00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:50,849
It -- It gave me purpose.
564
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:54,152
And then that suddenly ended,
too.
565
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:56,021
>> Daniel: But you kept rolling
with the punches.
566
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:57,188
>> Chelsea: I tried to.
567
00:25:57,255 --> 00:25:58,990
And at the end of the day, it
was just a job, right?
568
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:03,328
I mean, it happens. It --
Um...
569
00:26:03,395 --> 00:26:05,463
But then there was Johnny.
570
00:26:05,530 --> 00:26:08,934
I gave him up for adoption at
birth.
571
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,303
But then recently I thought it
was time that he know the truth
572
00:26:11,369 --> 00:26:12,737
that I'm his biological mother.
573
00:26:12,804 --> 00:26:15,407
I didn't want him, you know,
hearing from a stranger or
574
00:26:15,473 --> 00:26:17,008
finding out on the Internet.
575
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:20,845
Um, I wanted him know I loved
him and, uh, I wanted him to be
576
00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:22,747
a part of my life.
577
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:24,849
But he rejected me.
578
00:26:24,916 --> 00:26:29,521
And then he resented me for
turning his life upside down.
579
00:26:29,587 --> 00:26:33,124
And then my son Connor felt like
I was abandoning him.
580
00:26:33,191 --> 00:26:34,926
>> Daniel: That must have been
difficult.
581
00:26:34,993 --> 00:26:36,895
>> Chelsea: Yeah, it was.
582
00:26:36,962 --> 00:26:38,163
But, you know, they're kids.
583
00:26:38,229 --> 00:26:41,132
They dealt with the news the
best they could.
584
00:26:41,199 --> 00:26:47,105
Then people started telling me
that I needed help, and I
585
00:26:47,172 --> 00:26:50,775
accused them of ganging up on
me.
586
00:26:50,842 --> 00:26:54,145
It felt like everywhere I turned
I was failing and doors were
587
00:26:54,212 --> 00:26:55,413
closing.
588
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,548
But the truth of the matter is,
I was the one closing the doors.
589
00:26:56,614 --> 00:27:01,720
I was becoming very closed off.
590
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:07,592
I was in a lot of pain, and I
just wanted it to be over.
591
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:09,928
And I felt like the world would
be a better place without me in
592
00:27:09,995 --> 00:27:11,763
it.
593
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:15,934
Then one night, um, I found
myself on a ledge at the top of
594
00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:20,372
a building alone.
595
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:23,508
But someone followed me there
and he, um -- he talked me down
596
00:27:23,575 --> 00:27:24,509
and he got me help.
597
00:27:24,576 --> 00:27:25,643

598
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:26,344
>> Chelsea: Yeah, I do.

I do every day.
600
00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:29,514
I was -- I was very, very lucky.
601

talk to you.

00:27:39,324 --> 00:27:41,860

to help people that feel like

every door is closing, help
people that feel like there is

no other way out.
607
00:27:45,563 --> 00:27:47,532
I mean, millions of people have
stories like mine.
608
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,836
Millions of people feel unwanted
or broken, but they're not.
609
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:56,408
They're just too scared to ask
for help.
610
00:27:56,474 --> 00:27:59,110

channel your experience into

something positive that can help
other people.

interesting and surprising

conversation with my mother.

off that way, but the

>> Devon: Okay.
626
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,623

saying that I think my mom is
627
00:28:45,690 --> 00:28:49,027
one of the smartest, savviest
women that I know, and she is
628
00:28:49,094 --> 00:28:52,097
not easily fooled, especially by
someone who has hurt her in the
629
00:28:52,163 --> 00:28:53,331

your mom is, but where are you

going with this?

told you that he wanted to get

you and him and my mom together?

as his wife.
637
00:29:07,278 --> 00:29:10,248

wanted to buy Chancellor-Winters

But he made that decision on his
own, without telling anybody,
641
00:29:16,488 --> 00:29:19,724
and then started making moves in
secret and expected us to be

If this is how the conversation

started.

how much I want to help other
689
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:58,950
people.
690
00:31:59,017 --> 00:32:02,186
She understands I'm trying to
help people feel less alone.
691
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:03,755
>> Lily: Yeah. Okay.
692
00:32:03,821 --> 00:32:06,724
Well, have you told her about
this idea that you're gonna
693
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:07,525
share with us?
694
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:08,693
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
695
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,361
I mean, she knows I'm in a
stronger place and she supports
696
00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:11,129
it.
697
00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:11,896
>> Daniel: Alright.
698
00:32:11,963 --> 00:32:13,264
Let's hear it.
699
00:32:13,331 --> 00:32:14,332
>> Chelsea: Okay.
700
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:16,200
Uh, well, this is off the cuff,
so bear with me.
701
00:32:16,267 --> 00:32:17,969
Um...
702
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:20,705
Okay, so, gaming consists of
different levels, obviously,
703
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:21,839
right?
704
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:24,709
Each one more difficult and
complex than the one before.
705
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:27,979
So, our player -- she starts at
the top, but she hasn't been
706
00:32:28,046 --> 00:32:30,615
given the proper equipment she
needs to survive what the world
707
00:32:30,682 --> 00:32:31,883
is throwing at her.
708
00:32:31,949 --> 00:32:37,155
So she has to go through, um, a
series of challenges to get down
709
00:32:37,221 --> 00:32:38,523
to solid ground.
710
00:32:38,589 --> 00:32:42,327
The challenges are difficult,
but they make her stronger and
711
00:32:42,393 --> 00:32:43,861
more resilient than ever.
712
00:32:43,928 --> 00:32:46,631
And along the way, she's given
tools to help her because it is
713
00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:47,765
a video game.
714
00:32:47,832 --> 00:32:50,935
So, she overcomes these
obstacles and goes through these
715
00:32:51,002 --> 00:32:54,105
mazes, and eventually she learns
some coping mechanisms, like,
716
00:32:54,172 --> 00:32:56,407
um, how to regulate her
breathing.
717
00:32:56,474 --> 00:33:00,078
So, her mind is engaged in
saving her own life.
718
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:03,614
And then slowly, floor by floor,
she makes her way down and she
719
00:33:03,681 --> 00:33:06,884
emerges more triumphant and
stronger than ever through the
720
00:33:06,951 --> 00:33:07,952
front door.
721
00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:19,030
What do you think?
722
00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:22,367
>> Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ]
I mean, I can see the world that
723
00:33:22,433 --> 00:33:25,703
you want to create, and...
724
00:33:25,770 --> 00:33:27,638
I definitely see the potential.
725
00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:28,940
>> Chelsea: You do?
726
00:33:29,006 --> 00:33:31,209
I mean, I know it needs a lot of
work, but I could help with the
727
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:33,911
initial concept because I have a
background in design.
728
00:33:33,978 --> 00:33:38,316
>> Daniel: And we've got people
that can handle the mechanics.
729
00:33:38,383 --> 00:33:40,118
This is something I want to
pursue.
730
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:41,052
>> Chelsea: You mean it?
731
00:33:41,119 --> 00:33:42,587
>> Daniel: Yeah. Yeah.
732
00:33:42,653 --> 00:33:44,589
No, I got a million ideas going
through my head right now.
733
00:33:44,655 --> 00:33:47,692
I mean, I'm thinking of all
these different ways that you
734
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:48,826
could go with it.
735
00:33:48,893 --> 00:33:52,196
This game could -- could really
expand the scope of the
736
00:33:52,263 --> 00:33:53,264
platform.
737
00:33:59,103 --> 00:34:02,006
>> Abby: [ Sighs ]
>> Devon: What I meant by
738
00:34:02,073 --> 00:34:04,509
saying when you're with someone,
it's like I meant when you're
739
00:34:04,575 --> 00:34:06,778
close with somebody, you know?
740
00:34:06,844 --> 00:34:10,348
>> Abby: "Close with," as in...?
741
00:34:10,415 --> 00:34:13,851
>> Devon: As in -- As in a
friend or as, you know, a family
742
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:16,721
member or something more.
743
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:19,891
Anything, really.
744
00:34:19,957 --> 00:34:22,660
>> Abby: Look, I know what you
meant.
745
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:28,166
And we don't need to find a word
for what we are right now.
746
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:32,837
I just want to be there for you
and Dominic.
747
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:35,540
Hey.
748
00:34:35,606 --> 00:34:37,708
We're gonna get through this.
749
00:34:37,775 --> 00:34:49,287
And once we do, we'll figure out
the rest.
750
00:34:49,353 --> 00:34:51,856
>> Ashley: So, how are you
doing, Tucker?
751
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:55,593
Are you going crazy not being in
control?
752
00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:58,729
>> Tucker: A little bit.
753
00:34:58,796 --> 00:34:59,931
Which I know you love.
754
00:34:59,997 --> 00:35:04,302
>> Ashley: Mm.
755
00:35:04,368 --> 00:35:09,474
I want to know -- are you truly
ready to divest yourself from
756
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:11,409
McCall Unlimited?
757
00:35:11,476 --> 00:35:12,510
>> Tucker: 100%.
758
00:35:12,577 --> 00:35:15,680
Yeah.
759
00:35:15,746 --> 00:35:23,020
That company represents my past,
one that I am, uh -- I'm ready
760
00:35:23,087 --> 00:35:24,722
to move away from.
761
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,925
I just want start anew.
762
00:35:27,992 --> 00:35:31,195
For the right price, of course.
763
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:34,832
>> Ashley: What about for the
right reason?
764
00:35:34,899 --> 00:35:37,869
Well, you said that you came
back to Genoa City because you
765
00:35:37,935 --> 00:35:40,004
wanted to reunite with Devon.
766
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:41,739
>> Tucker: Yeah. I meant it.
767
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,708
>> Ashley: Prove it.
768
00:35:43,774 --> 00:35:46,377
Don't sell to Newman.
769
00:35:46,444 --> 00:35:48,446
Sell to your son.
