00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:56,035
on your company.
>> Tucker: That's not news.
164
00:08:56,102 --> 00:08:58,271
>> Ashley: What is news is that
they're willing to pay top
165
00:08:58,337 --> 00:09:01,874
dollar.
Far, far more than it's worth.
166
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:03,943
What do you think?
167
00:09:11,117 --> 00:09:13,085
>> Ashley: Selling to the
Newmans would put you back in
168
00:09:13,152 --> 00:09:15,254
control financially.
>> Tucker: Mm.
169
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:17,023
>> Ashley: You can start all
over again, right?
170
00:09:17,089 --> 00:09:18,324
You wouldn't have
a care in the world.
171
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,393
>> Tucker: No, not a care.
>> Ashley: Mnh-mnh.
172
00:09:20,459 --> 00:09:23,462
>> Tucker: I could travel.
I could, uh...
173
00:09:23,529 --> 00:09:27,600
I could have endless excitement.
Fast cars. Fast women.
174
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:28,801
>> Ashley: Yeah, you could.
>> Tucker: Yeah.
175
00:09:28,868 --> 00:09:30,536
>> Ashley: All you got to do is
pick up the phone and tell
176
00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:36,309
Victor, "I'm in."
>> Tucker: Uh-huh.
177
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:39,979
Am I passing the test?
You wanted to find out if I
178
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:43,049
would abandon my plan to sell to
Devon and go for the big bucks
179
00:09:43,115 --> 00:09:44,784
instead, didn't you?
>> Ashley: Well, you,
180
00:09:44,850 --> 00:09:46,319
originally, were planning to
sell to the Newmans.
181
00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:48,354
>> Tucker: Yes, I know, and if
I did, I'd have more money than
182
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:51,424
God, but then I'd be alone.
Okay?
183
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:53,793
So if I'm going to make this
deal, I choose whichever door
184
00:09:53,859 --> 00:09:57,430
leads to you.
>> Ashley: People would say
185
00:09:57,496 --> 00:09:59,732
you're nuts.
>> Tucker: Maybe I am.
186
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:01,267
>> Ashley: You're walking away
from a fortune.
187
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:04,303
>> Tucker: Being with you is
worth more.
188
00:10:07,206 --> 00:10:10,142
>> Devon: I just -- let me be
clear about what you're saying
189
00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:12,111
here, 'cause I want to make sure
I understand.
190
00:10:12,178 --> 00:10:14,847
Before, you would say
that, by me removing
191
00:10:14,914 --> 00:10:17,416
Hamilton-Winters from this
partnership, I'd be devaluing
192
00:10:17,483 --> 00:10:19,819
both companies, but, in reality,
you're just worried about me
193
00:10:19,885 --> 00:10:22,855
devaluing your accomplishments.
>> Lily: Why can't both things
194
00:10:22,922 --> 00:10:25,591
be true?
>> Devon: Oh, they can be, but,
195
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:27,893
I mean, if we're just trying
to protect our businesses here,
196
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,796
why am I the only bad guy?
>> Lily: Because you signed
197
00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:33,265
a contract.
You agreed to the merger.
198
00:10:33,332 --> 00:10:36,469
So it's one company.
So I'm doing what needs
199
00:10:36,535 --> 00:10:38,971
to be done.
And you know what?
200
00:10:39,038 --> 00:10:42,441
We are both going to lose money,
we're both going to lose time,
201
00:10:42,508 --> 00:10:45,244
we're probably going to lose
our dignity, but you know who's
202
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:47,813
going to walk away with nothing?
It's going to be you.
203
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,515
>> Devon: Lily, I didn't
want this fight.
204
00:10:49,582 --> 00:10:51,050
I didn't -- I never wanted
to fight with you.
205
00:10:51,117 --> 00:10:53,386
I just wanted my business
and the company that I created
206
00:10:53,452 --> 00:10:55,654
with my father.
That's it.
207
00:10:55,721 --> 00:10:58,791
>> Lily: Devon, you have got to
stop acting like you are the
208
00:10:58,858 --> 00:11:00,526
only one who can carry on his
legacy.
209
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:02,561
>> Devon: Well, why am I the
only one trying to protect the
210
00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:05,865
company that he left behind?
>> Lily: Saving Hamilton-Winters
211
00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:09,402
is not going to bring Dad back.
And if it did, I would be
212
00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:14,040
right there with you, fighting.
But it's not. So you're wrong.
213
00:11:14,106 --> 00:11:16,042
And if it takes a judge
to prove that to you,
214
00:11:16,108 --> 00:11:17,643
then so be it.
>> Devon: So this is you just
215
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:19,712
saying you don't give a damn?
>> Lily: Actually, no,
216
00:11:19,779 --> 00:11:23,215
it's the opposite.
My dad was more than a name,
217
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:25,885
and he was definitely more than
a company.
218
00:11:25,951 --> 00:11:28,654
He transcends that.
So, you know what?
219
00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:31,323
Start a new company.
Or take the money
220
00:11:31,390 --> 00:11:34,493
that we offered you and retire.
I don't care.
221
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:40,599
But if you go down this path,
I guarantee you will regret it.
222
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:43,469
>> Devon: I never thought I'd
say this in a million years,
223
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:45,938
but I'm almost glad
Neil isn't here to see
224
00:11:46,005 --> 00:11:49,775
who you've turned into.
>> Lily: [ Scoffs ]
225
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:55,414
>> Elena: Um...
Nate and Victoria have been
226
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:58,918
friends for a long time.
I think he's always admired
227
00:11:58,984 --> 00:12:02,154
her business acumen,
and she hired him after
228
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:04,890
he left Chancellor-Winters,
so I think it's only natural
229
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:07,793
that he'd be grateful.
>> Audra: Mm.
230
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:11,163
Definitely a lot of gratitude
going on.
231
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:15,901
>> Elena: Yeah, I think that
he should be appreciative.
232
00:12:15,968 --> 00:12:19,338
Just like you seem to be
since Nate hired you
233
00:12:19,405 --> 00:12:22,041
after you were let go.
>> Audra: Yeah, but I'm hardly
234
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:23,876
a neophyte in the business
world.
235
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:26,946
But, Nate, now, I have to hand
it to him.
236
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:28,981
The way he's been able to close
that hierarchy gap
237
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:33,385
between him and Victoria,
they are so in sync it's crazy.
238
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:35,821
It's like they were destined
to be partners.
239
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:39,458
Business partners, of course.
>> Elena: I'm glad he has
240
00:12:39,525 --> 00:12:42,661
such a supportive boss.
>> Audra: Yeah.
241
00:12:42,728 --> 00:12:45,264
It's a shame he didn't have
that at Chancellor
242
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:48,367
when he was working with family.
>> Elena: I'm not sure
243
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:52,705
that's appropriate to discuss.
>> Audra: You're right.
244
00:12:52,771 --> 00:12:56,942
Family dynamics can be tricky.
Relatives don't always have
245
00:12:57,009 --> 00:13:01,547
the strongest bonds.
But, you know, it's funny.
246
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:03,582
When you have the right person
by your side,
247
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:06,752
just everything falls into place
regardless of what
248
00:13:06,819 --> 00:13:09,955
their relationship is to you.
Nate must be that person
249
00:13:10,022 --> 00:13:14,193
for Victoria.
The real deal.
250
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:17,263
>> Elena: And what do you mean
by that?
251
00:13:17,329 --> 00:13:21,901
>> Audra: Well, Nate may only be
in charge of one division now,
252
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:26,472
but it's pretty clear Victoria
has much bigger plans for him.
253
00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:31,710
>> Victoria: Must we discuss
the elephant in the room?
254
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:33,245
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
If we're going to get
255
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:39,618
any work done.
Look, I'll start.
256
00:13:39,685 --> 00:13:44,690
I feel a certain attraction
to you,
257
00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:49,995
but I shouldn't.
>> Victoria: Because of Elena.
258
00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:51,463
What's going on
between the two of you?
259
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:54,600
Maybe whatever it is will
clarify what's going on
260
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:58,137
between the two of us.
>> Nate: That's the problem.
261
00:13:58,204 --> 00:14:01,473
Elena and I are in a good place,
for the first time
262
00:14:01,540 --> 00:14:09,248
in a long while.
>> Victoria: And yet?
263
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:13,152
>> Nate:I've crossed a line.
>> Victoria: Twice.
264
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:16,422
>> Nate: Yes. [ Clears throat ]
Multiple times.
265
00:14:16,488 --> 00:14:21,560
>> Victoria: So that's a
problem?
266
00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:26,065
>> Nate: I think there have been
some mixed messages.
267
00:14:26,131 --> 00:14:28,167
>> Victoria: Yes, it seems like
the wires are definitely
268
00:14:28,234 --> 00:14:32,037
crossed.
But not for me.
269
00:14:32,104 --> 00:14:37,009
I know what I want.
However, I'm unencumbered,
270
00:14:37,076 --> 00:14:41,647
and I'm free to get involved
with whoever I want.
271
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:46,785
But, unfortunately,
it's not the same for you.
272
00:14:46,852 --> 00:14:50,656
>> Nate: I apologize for this.
>> Victoria: Don't apologize.
273
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:55,127
Just figure out what you want
because whatever happens
274
00:14:55,194 --> 00:14:58,230
or doesn't happen
is entirely up to you.
275
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:14,046
>> Nate: Look, I can't deny
feeling an intense connection.
276
00:15:14,113 --> 00:15:17,049
As if the job weren't exciting
enough, knowing I get
277
00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:21,720
to see you during the day...
>> Victoria: Yeah, it's a
278
00:15:21,787 --> 00:15:27,092
pleasant bonus for me, too.
>> Nate: But I ultimately lost
279
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:32,364
my career as a surgeon because
of an impulse I acted on.
280
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:35,634
>> Victoria: So your concern
is about your job?
281
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:38,504
>> Nate: My concern is about
all the above.
282
00:15:38,570 --> 00:15:43,342
Business. Personal.
The man I need to be.
283
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:47,980
>> Victoria: A man who's
faithful to his girlfriend.
284
00:15:48,047 --> 00:15:55,254
So who am I to you?
>> Nate: You're...irresistible.
285
00:15:55,321 --> 00:16:01,694
Intoxicating.
And you make me feel powerful.
286
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,595
>> Victoria: But you're with
Elena.
287
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:07,099
>> Nate: And I can't hurt her
the way she and I hurt Devon.
288
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:09,868
>> Victoria: Well, that's very
admirable.
289
00:16:09,935 --> 00:16:15,574
>> Nate: So no matter what I may
or may not be feeling,
290
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:20,312
we can't ever kiss again.
>> Victoria: Did we kiss?
291
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:23,949
I'm sorry. I've been so busy.
It must have just
292
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:29,154
slipped my mind.
Was it good?
293
00:16:29,221 --> 00:16:33,492
>> Nate: Unforgettable.
But I would hate to see
294
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:35,194
what kind of negative impact
this could have
295
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:40,499
on our personal lives.
>> Victoria: Why would it?
296
00:16:40,566 --> 00:16:44,136
We won't tell anyone.
And in the future,
297
00:16:44,203 --> 00:16:48,140
I will not kiss you,
and you will not kiss me.
298
00:16:48,207 --> 00:16:50,509
>> Nate: Agreed.
>> Victoria: And we'll be sure
299
00:16:50,576 --> 00:16:53,912
to keep a safe distance away
from each other
300
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:57,015
and avoid eye contact
at all times.
301
00:16:57,082 --> 00:17:01,320
>> Nate: Contact of any kind.
>> Victoria: You know, there's
302
00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:05,624
one other thing to consider.
You say that what you and Elena
303
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:08,427
did caused you to leave
your career in the medical field
304
00:17:08,494 --> 00:17:12,297
and come here.
But maybe here
305
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:17,136
is where you belonged all along.
Maybe you need more than
306
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:24,943
she's able to give you.
>> Elena: So what do you think
307
00:17:25,010 --> 00:17:29,548
Victoria has in store for Nate?
>> Audra: I am not privy to that
308
00:17:29,615 --> 00:17:32,985
level of information.
In fact, I was just
309
00:17:33,051 --> 00:17:36,088
kicked out of meeting with Nate
because Victoria wanted
310
00:17:36,155 --> 00:17:40,325
to have a word in private.
>> Elena: About what?
311
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:44,096
>> Audra: Uh, data, numbers.
>> Elena: But wouldn't you be
312
00:17:44,163 --> 00:17:46,965
included in that discussion
since you are the COO?
313
00:17:47,032 --> 00:17:49,635
>> Audra: Yeah, I thought that
was rude, too.
314
00:17:49,701 --> 00:17:52,271
But when Victoria wants
to meet with Nate,
315
00:17:52,337 --> 00:17:56,775
I make myself scarce.
>> Elena: Hm.
316
00:17:56,842 --> 00:18:02,448
And, um, does has happen often?
>> Audra: Look, all I know is
317
00:18:02,514 --> 00:18:06,084
that Victoria must see something
truly magnificent in him to give
318
00:18:06,151 --> 00:18:09,455
him so much one-on-one
attention.
319
00:18:09,521 --> 00:18:12,324
>> Elena: I suppose.
>> Audra: He'll be moving up
320
00:18:12,391 --> 00:18:14,026
in the Newman organization
any day now.
321
00:18:14,092 --> 00:18:16,728
You should be so proud
of your boyfriend.
322
00:18:20,132 --> 00:18:23,302
>> Tucker: You expected to see
my wheels turning as I
323
00:18:23,368 --> 00:18:27,272
formulated my grand plan to sell
McCall to Newman for millions
324
00:18:27,339 --> 00:18:28,874
more than it's worth, didn't
you?
325
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:30,843
>> Ashley: I thought it was
a strong possibility.
326
00:18:30,909 --> 00:18:33,045
>> Tucker: I've never been
happier to disappoint you.
327
00:18:33,111 --> 00:18:34,379
>> Ashley: Won't be the first
time.
328
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:36,949
I'm sure it won't be the last.
>> Tucker: Ashley, the only
329
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:40,085
thing I'm interested in at this
point is to have a fresh start
330
00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:42,821
with the two people who matter
the most to me in life,
331
00:18:42,888 --> 00:18:44,022
you and Devon.
That's it.
332
00:18:44,089 --> 00:18:47,960
>> Ashley: Okay, tell me this.
What happens if you can't
333
00:18:48,026 --> 00:18:49,261
convince Devon to buy your
company?
334
00:18:49,328 --> 00:18:50,963
And I'm not convinced
that you actually want to be
335
00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:53,398
a better man.
What if we both turn our backs
336
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:54,833
on you?
What then?
337
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:57,569
>> Tucker: I would still forge
ahead with my mission
338
00:18:57,636 --> 00:19:01,507
of self-improvement.
Here's the thing.
339
00:19:01,573 --> 00:19:04,910
No matter who purchases McCall,
the sale will provide me
340
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:09,681
with the means of a fresh start.
Uh...
341
00:19:09,748 --> 00:19:12,618
The way lived my life up until
now, yes, has made me rich,
342
00:19:12,684 --> 00:19:18,223
but I'm completely devoid
of the things that matter,
343
00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:22,427
and a major loss
has forced my hand, finally.
344
00:19:22,494 --> 00:19:25,430
>> Ashley: So to be a better
person, you need to be abandoned
345
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:28,700
completely?
>> Tucker: Is that what you're
346
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:31,937
planning to do?
If I can't win Devon over, are
347
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:35,007
you just going to turn your back
on me?
348
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,846
>> Devon: It doesn't feel good,
does it?
349
00:19:40,913 --> 00:19:42,848
>> Lily: Sorry, the comment of
Dad being ashamed of me?
350
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:45,050
>> Devon: Yeah.
Same thing you said to me last
351
00:19:45,117 --> 00:19:46,785
time we got an argument about
this.
352
00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:49,955
>> Lily: No, I actually wish he
were here to see what I've
353
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,424
become, because I know that he
would be incredibly proud of me.
354
00:19:52,491 --> 00:19:53,892
>> Devon: Are you sure about
that?
355
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:58,697
>> Lily: Absolutely.
It is so easy to be a copy of
356
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:03,135
him, but I am out of his shadow.
I'm forging my own path.
357
00:20:03,201 --> 00:20:05,804
>> Devon: Okay, so, what, is
that a dig at me?
358
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:08,941
>> Lily: You can take it however
you want, but you thought
359
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:11,176
that you could make demands,
and I would just roll over?
360
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:15,480
Well, I am sorry, but, no.
This lawsuit is going to define
361
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,516
everything.
It's going to change
362
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:20,719
our companies, the way
the business world sees us,
363
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:24,356
our relationship moving forward.
But in the end,
364
00:20:24,423 --> 00:20:27,793
you will see that I won.
>> Devon: Right, you won by any
365
00:20:27,859 --> 00:20:29,861
means necessary, too, right?
>> Lily: Well, it's not
366
00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:31,330
personal.
It's business. Remember?
367
00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:33,198
You kept telling me that.
>> Devon: Yeah, you're
368
00:20:33,265 --> 00:20:34,800
ridiculous.
You're unbelievable, actually.
369
00:20:34,866 --> 00:20:36,134
>> Lily: Sorry, I'm
unbelievable?
370
00:20:36,201 --> 00:20:38,036
>> Devon: Yes, you are.
>> Lily: You're the one who
371
00:20:38,103 --> 00:20:40,706
won't honor a contract that you
signed.
372
00:20:40,772 --> 00:20:42,874
You won't take the money
that we offered you.
373
00:20:42,941 --> 00:20:44,843
You want to burn everything
to the ground.
374
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,378
So here we are.
>> Devon: Yeah, here we are,
375
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:48,547
with you willing to sacrifice
our relationship for
376
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:50,582
a business deal that went bad.
>> Lily: Because you won't
377
00:20:50,649 --> 00:20:52,050
loosen your grip on Dad's
company.
378
00:20:52,117 --> 00:20:54,186
>> Devon: And what's wrong with
me trying to preserve
379
00:20:54,252 --> 00:20:56,822
his memory like that, Lily?
Really? What is it?
380
00:20:56,888 --> 00:20:58,290
I mean,
after everything he taught us,
381
00:20:58,357 --> 00:21:00,792
after everything he did for us,
how can you turn your back
382
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:04,329
on him like that?
>> Lily: [ Sighs ]
383
00:21:04,396 --> 00:21:08,734
Devon, I am warning you.
Do not go there.
384
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,603
And you still have your
biological father, Tucker.
385
00:21:11,670 --> 00:21:13,839
>> Devon: You have your
biologic-- you got Malcolm.
386
00:21:13,905 --> 00:21:15,574
>> Lily: Tucker is here in
Genoa City.
387
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,876
He wants a relationship
with you.
388
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:21,146
You have a young son who you get
to see every single day.
389
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:24,316
My children have their own life.
This is all I have left.
390
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:26,585
>> Devon: What are you talking
about it's all you -- you have
391
00:21:26,652 --> 00:21:29,588
me.
I'm here in town with you.
392
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:31,823
And I never wanted you
to feel alone in any of this.
393
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:33,792
You're the one that's made
the decision to side with Jill
394
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:35,794
in this IPO move.
So what was I meant to do?
395
00:21:35,861 --> 00:21:39,031
>> Lily: Honor the contract
that you signed.
396
00:21:39,097 --> 00:21:42,334
>> Devon: Yeah.
You know, say whatever you want
397
00:21:42,401 --> 00:21:46,905
about Tucker.
He will never fill Neil's shoes.
398
00:21:46,972 --> 00:21:51,376
>> Lily: And neither will you.
You know, you want to say all of
399
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:54,212
these things about how family
is so important to you,
400
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:58,016
but yet you're willing to throw
me away for a company.
401
00:21:58,083 --> 00:22:01,386
So in my mind,
you are a hypocrite.
402
00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:15,133
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
403
00:22:33,051 --> 00:22:35,821
>> Devon: Lily, do you know why
you feel like you're so alone?
404
00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:37,656
'Cause who the hell would want
to be around you when you're
405
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:38,990
acting like you act?
>> Lily: Oh --
406
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:41,660
>> Abby: You know, one of the
guys in the kitchen just told me
407
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:43,328
about a rage room
where you can go
408
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:45,731
and put on a hard hat,
get a sledge hammer,
409
00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:48,600
smash up a bunch of old TVs.
You can get as loud as you want.
410
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:51,503
So maybe you guys should head
over there, because if you can't
411
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:53,238
keep it down, I'm going to
have to ask you to leave.
412
00:22:53,305 --> 00:22:54,973
>> Devon: I'm sorry.
>> Lily: Yeah, I'm --
413
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,276
I'm sorry, Abby. I'm sorry.
>> Abby: Louise just texted me
414
00:22:58,343 --> 00:23:00,545
that we're out of diapers,
so I think
415
00:23:00,612 --> 00:23:02,214
we should go grab some.
We'll get them much faster if we
416
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,548
go get them.
>> Devon: We can't order them,
417
00:23:03,615 --> 00:23:04,850
have them delivered?
>> Abby: No, come on.
418
00:23:04,916 --> 00:23:18,430
We're going to go get them.
Thank you.
419
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:42,387
>> Elena: Of course, I am proud
of Nate.
420
00:23:42,454 --> 00:23:46,525
Uh, his new career has just been
an adjustment for both of us.
421
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:49,828
>> Audra: You know, to me, it
seems perfectly natural for him
422
00:23:49,895 --> 00:23:52,464
to pivot from medicine
to business.
423
00:23:52,531 --> 00:23:55,433
To be a doctor or a CEO,
you have to have a certain
424
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:57,469
confidence,
you know, that your decision is
425
00:23:57,536 --> 00:24:01,373
the right one, and everything's
going to work out in the end.
426
00:24:01,439 --> 00:24:03,842
>> Elena: Yeah, he certainly has
that.
427
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:06,711
>> Audra: He's a born leader.
You know, if he ever ran for
428
00:24:06,778 --> 00:24:10,415
office, he'd have thousands
of supporters.
429
00:24:10,482 --> 00:24:15,554
I mean, mostly women, with those
eyes and a smile like that.
430
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:18,490
Not that I need to tell you,
since you know what he's like.
431
00:24:18,557 --> 00:24:21,493
>> Elena: I certainly do.
>> Audra: I didn't upset you,
432
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,728
did I?
>> Elena: No, not at all.
433
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:26,898
I just realized the time.
>> Audra: Well, this was fun.
434
00:24:26,965 --> 00:24:30,135
We should do it again -- soon.
>> Elena: Yeah, my schedule's
435
00:24:30,202 --> 00:24:33,238
pretty packed, but if something
opens up, I'll let you know.
436
00:24:36,174 --> 00:24:39,978
>> Tucker: Nice.
You make it look so easy.
437
00:24:40,045 --> 00:24:42,614
>> Audra: Why?
Whatever do you mean?
438
00:24:42,681 --> 00:24:44,549
>> Tucker: Alright, let's just
pretend that you're not here --
439
00:24:44,616 --> 00:24:47,552
>> Audra: Trying to make friends
with Elena, who seems
440
00:24:47,619 --> 00:24:52,190
like a super sweet gal.
>> Tucker: God, you're just
441
00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:54,893
amazing.
I wish we could harness
442
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,730
your super powers
for the good of all mankind.
443
00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:01,733
>> Audra: I'm a source of
amusement?
444
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,071
How about you entertain me
for once?
445
00:25:06,137 --> 00:25:07,839
>> Tucker: What do you have in
mind?
446
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:10,375
>> Audra: Tell me the story of
who gets to run your company.
447
00:25:10,442 --> 00:25:12,878
>> Tucker: No, no, no, no.
>> Audra: Who are you selling
448
00:25:12,944 --> 00:25:14,379
to?
>> Tucker: That's classified,
449
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:16,982
I'm afraid, but I might be
persuaded to give you a hint
450
00:25:17,048 --> 00:25:20,151
if you tell me something first.
>> Audra: Ask away.
451
00:25:20,218 --> 00:25:23,288
>> Tucker: So, on a scale from a
minor sibling squabble
452
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:27,926
to total annihilation,
how would you rank the little
453
00:25:27,993 --> 00:25:32,664
spat between Devon and Lily?
>> Audra: Why do you even care
454
00:25:32,731 --> 00:25:37,969
about what...
[ Chuckles ] Okay.
455
00:25:38,036 --> 00:25:41,072
You think you can step in
and be the dad that Devon
456
00:25:41,139 --> 00:25:44,242
so desperately needs?
>> Tucker: I haven't given up
457
00:25:44,309 --> 00:25:48,446
hope that I might be back in his
good graces someday soon, yeah.
458
00:25:48,513 --> 00:25:53,919
>> Audra: By exploiting
the brother/sister cage match?
459
00:25:53,985 --> 00:25:56,621
Are you offering Devon
the keys to McCall Unlimited?
460
00:25:56,688 --> 00:25:58,857
>> Tucker: Why don't you answer
my question first?
461
00:25:58,924 --> 00:26:02,928
How bad is this fight?
>> Audra: Look, I have limited
462
00:26:02,994 --> 00:26:05,397
firsthand knowledge,
but from what I've heard,
463
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:09,267
they're going scorched-earth.
Devon and Lilly's relationship
464
00:26:09,334 --> 00:26:13,071
may not survive the war.
Now, tell me, are you offering
465
00:26:13,138 --> 00:26:17,976
your company to Devon?
>> Tucker: I already have.
466
00:26:18,043 --> 00:26:20,512
>> Victoria: I'm not going to
apologize for being direct.
467
00:26:20,578 --> 00:26:23,615
>> Nate: No, no, I find it
refreshing.
468
00:26:23,682 --> 00:26:27,218
>> Victoria: That's good,
because I approach my personal
469
00:26:27,285 --> 00:26:30,155
life the same way that I
approach my business life.
470
00:26:30,221 --> 00:26:33,892
I'm very straightforward.
>> Nate: So what are your
471
00:26:33,959 --> 00:26:36,361
expectations for us, moving
forward?
472
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:39,130
>> Victoria: I hope that we
enjoy a very long and fruitful
473
00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:41,967
partnership.
>> Nate: As do I.
474
00:26:42,033 --> 00:26:44,636
>> Victoria: In order to do
that, we're going to have to be
475
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:47,205
fully transparent with one
another.
476
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:48,740
So there aren't
any complications
477
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:51,509
or miscommunications.
>> Nate: That is a solid
478
00:26:51,576 --> 00:26:54,913
approach.
I will do my best to follow it.
479
00:26:54,980 --> 00:27:01,920
>> Victoria: Okay.
>> Nate: So in the spirit
480
00:27:01,987 --> 00:27:10,095
of full disclosure...
...I admire you, Victoria.
481
00:27:10,161 --> 00:27:15,633
You're intelligent, driven,
powerful...
482
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:22,774
beautiful.
But I am in love with Elena.
483
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:34,052
>> Victoria: I respect that.
[ Knock on door ]
484
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,188
>> Audra: Victoria. Good.
I was hoping you'd still be
485
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:39,391
here.
I hope I'm not interrupting your
486
00:27:39,457 --> 00:27:41,659
meeting, but I have news about
McCall.
487
00:27:41,726 --> 00:27:42,927
>> Victoria: What have you
heard?
488
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:44,829
>> Audra: Well, it appears he's
changed course and wants to sell
489
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:47,599
the company to his son.
>> Victoria: Well, that confirms
490
00:27:47,665 --> 00:27:51,102
exactly what my father and I
suspected.
491
00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:55,173
Ashley bought up Tucker's debt.
>> Nate: Why?
492
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,477
Is this a power move by Jabot?
>> Victoria: Sounds like more of
493
00:27:59,544 --> 00:28:02,714
a move by Ashley alone.
She probably wanted the debt
494
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:05,283
acquisition so she could
strong-arm Tucker into turning
495
00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:08,720
things around with Devon.
Seems that she wants Tucker to
496
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:11,890
redeem himself, which is
surprisingly noble, in a
497
00:28:11,956 --> 00:28:14,692
lopsided kind of way.
>> Audra: If she's expecting him
498
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:17,095
to change, I mean, she'll be
deeply disappointed.
499
00:28:17,162 --> 00:28:19,330
>> Nate: We're apparently gonna
be disappointed, too, since this
500
00:28:19,397 --> 00:28:20,899
means we're losing out on
acquiring McCall.
501
00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:23,168
>> Victoria: Makes things more
difficult, but it's not
502
00:28:23,234 --> 00:28:26,237
impossible.
Besides, I like a challenge.
503
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:28,606
>> Nate: What's your plan?
>> Audra: We have to convince
504
00:28:28,673 --> 00:28:31,876
Devon that buying McCall would
be disastrous and that it would
505
00:28:31,943 --> 00:28:34,446
be a financial black hole from
which he would never be able to
506
00:28:34,512 --> 00:28:38,950
extricate himself.
And who better to relay that bad
507
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:46,124
news than his cousin Nate?
>> Abby: Okay, I couldn't
508
00:28:46,191 --> 00:28:49,394
possibly have heard you right.
>> Devon: Oh, you did, though.
509
00:28:49,461 --> 00:28:53,465
Lily has hired Amanda to
represent them in court.
510
00:28:53,531 --> 00:28:55,533
>> Abby: I thought Amanda left
Chancellor.
511
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,170
>> Devon: She did.
She did, but she's the perfect
512
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:01,940
weapon to aim at
Hamilton-Winters -- and to aim
513
00:29:02,006 --> 00:29:05,610
at me 'cause, you know, that's
really what this is about.
514
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:08,947
Let's not pretend like it isn't.
>> Abby: Okay, I get that this
515
00:29:09,013 --> 00:29:12,283
feels like a personal shot, but
why would Lily do that?
516
00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:14,519
>> Devon: Because she wants to
win.
517
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:16,988
That's why.
And she will obviously do
518
00:29:17,055 --> 00:29:19,224
whatever it takes.
And she thinks it's gonna rattle
519
00:29:19,290 --> 00:29:22,961
me in court.
I'm just wondering what she and
520
00:29:23,027 --> 00:29:25,864
Amanda have up their sleeves.
You know?
521
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:29,601
They'll probably have a damn
hologram of Neil and fill the
522
00:29:29,667 --> 00:29:32,070
courtroom with everybody else
I've wronged in my life.
523
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:34,606
>> Abby: That would be a very
short list.
524
00:29:34,672 --> 00:29:38,042
>> Devon: I...
I'm dreading this entire thing
525
00:29:38,109 --> 00:29:42,147
now.
>> Abby: Tell me something.
526
00:29:42,213 --> 00:29:46,851
Are you worried that you're
gonna lose the lawsuit?
527
00:29:46,918 --> 00:29:50,588
Or is this about having to come
face-to-face with Amanda again?
528
00:29:55,226 --> 00:29:58,263
>> Lily: I am beyond mortified
to have an argument like that in
529
00:29:58,329 --> 00:30:00,331
public.
>> Daniel: The public will
530
00:30:00,398 --> 00:30:04,435
recover.
How are you doing?
531
00:30:04,502 --> 00:30:08,473
>> Lily: Not good.
It's like every time Devon and I
532
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:11,843
are around each other, all we do
is try to hurt each other.
533
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:16,781
And I don't know how much more I
can take.
534
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:21,119
>> Daniel: Yeah, well, family
seems to have a way of pushing
535
00:30:21,186 --> 00:30:26,257
buttons like no other person
can.
536
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,927
>> Lily: It's just, this merger
was supposed to bring us closer
537
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:33,431
together as a family, and it's
torn us apart.
538
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:36,467
Nate is gone.
Devon wants nothing to do with
539
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:38,369
me.
>> Daniel: So, what are you
540
00:30:38,436 --> 00:30:41,039
gonna do?
>> Lily: [ Scoffs ]
541
00:30:41,105 --> 00:30:44,542
I don't know. I just --
I have to stop believing that I
542
00:30:44,609 --> 00:30:48,546
can salvage things.
It's like I have to fight to
543
00:30:48,613 --> 00:30:53,751
save Chancellor-Winters because
it's all I have left.
544
00:30:53,818 --> 00:30:57,722
So I have to fight with
everything that I have.
545
00:31:02,827 --> 00:31:05,096
>> Daniel: Seems a little
extreme.
546
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:06,965
You're more than
Chancellor-Winters.
547
00:31:07,031 --> 00:31:09,300
You have a lot of people in your
life that love you.
548
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:16,641
>> Lily: Not really.
I mean, my parents are gone.
549
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:19,277
My relationship with Billy is
over.
550
00:31:19,344 --> 00:31:23,181
I don't know if Devon and Nate
and I will ever fix anything.
551
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:25,250
My kids are living their own
life.
552
00:31:25,316 --> 00:31:32,590
Like, what's left but my career?
>> Daniel: What about your
553
00:31:32,657 --> 00:31:36,894
friends?
What about me?
554
00:31:36,961 --> 00:31:39,197
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean, you've
been the better part of the past
555
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:42,634
couple of months.
If only you could make this
556
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:45,837
lawsuit go away.
>> Daniel: I wish I had that
557
00:31:45,903 --> 00:31:50,275
power.
>> Lily: I know things are gonna
558
00:31:50,341 --> 00:31:53,511
get really ugly.
>> Daniel: I don't doubt that
559
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:58,349
for a second.
Are you sure it's worth the
560
00:31:58,416 --> 00:32:03,454
agony?
>> Devon: It's not like I have a
561
00:32:03,521 --> 00:32:08,026
choice about facing Amanda
again, you know?
562
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:10,795
>> Abby: Well, I have never
really thought about this
563
00:32:10,862 --> 00:32:16,200
before, but I feel like I'm the
lucky one in the fallout of all
564
00:32:16,267 --> 00:32:18,670
of our breakups.
>> Devon: What makes you say
565
00:32:18,736 --> 00:32:20,338
that?
>> Abby: Because I have to see
566
00:32:20,405 --> 00:32:22,340
Chance.
I have to communicate with him
567
00:32:22,407 --> 00:32:25,043
because of Dominic.
And all of that awkwardness,
568
00:32:25,109 --> 00:32:28,446
everything that was difficult
between us when Amanda and
569
00:32:28,513 --> 00:32:32,583
Chance walked in on us
together -- well, it's gotten
570
00:32:32,650 --> 00:32:35,620
a lot less.
But you -- you haven't seen
571
00:32:35,687 --> 00:32:37,388
Amanda since she broke things
off.
572
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:38,556
I mean, you haven't crossed
paths.
573
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:39,824
>> Devon: Oh, I know.
Believe me.
574
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:41,859
And then now the next time I see
her is gonna be in a courtroom.
575
00:32:41,926 --> 00:32:45,263
And it's gonna hurt.
>> Abby: I'm sorry.
576
00:32:45,330 --> 00:32:48,700
This stress is the last thing
you need on top of everything
577
00:32:48,766 --> 00:32:51,002
else that you're going through.
>> Devon: That's what Lily's
578
00:32:51,069 --> 00:32:54,005
banking on.
She wants this to be a painful
579
00:32:54,072 --> 00:33:00,845
process financially,
professionally, and personally.
580
00:33:00,912 --> 00:33:04,849
>> Abby: Are you sure that this
lawsuit is worth the destruction
581
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:09,821
that it will cause?
I think you should reconsider
582
00:33:09,887 --> 00:33:21,032
Tucker's offer.
>> Ashley: Hey.
583
00:33:21,099 --> 00:33:22,867
I hope you're calling with
good news.
584
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:24,736
>> Tucker: As in, I can't get
you off my mind?
585
00:33:24,802 --> 00:33:27,772
>> Ashley: As in, you got Devon
to sign on the dotted line.
586
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,475
>> Tucker: Uh, not quite.
>> Ashley: Tucker.
587
00:33:30,541 --> 00:33:32,343
>> Tucker: Not yet, I mean to
say.
588
00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:35,813
I'm on a fact-finding mission.
>> Ashley: Okay, but you have to
589
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,983
proceed honestly.
No interfering, no manipulations
590
00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:41,419
of any kind.
>> Tucker: Fear not.
591
00:33:41,486 --> 00:33:43,821
I'm simply collecting
information on a person I might
592
00:33:43,888 --> 00:33:45,590
do a deal with.
That's just good business
593
00:33:45,656 --> 00:33:47,992
practice.
I want to make sure that when
594
00:33:48,059 --> 00:33:50,962
Devon contemplates buying McCall
that he believes it'll be the
595
00:33:51,028 --> 00:33:53,698
solution to all his problems.
>> Ashley: Okay.
596
00:33:53,765 --> 00:34:02,640
Call me when you get it done.
>> Nate: You want me to sabotage
597
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:04,709
Devon's purchase of
McCall Unlimited?
598
00:34:04,776 --> 00:34:06,911
>> Victoria: Yes, that is the
mission.
599
00:34:06,978 --> 00:34:09,046
I assume that you're going to
accept it.
600
00:34:09,113 --> 00:34:11,883
>> Nate: I'm not on good terms
with either one of my cousins.
601
00:34:11,949 --> 00:34:14,719
I doubt I could even convince
them that the sky is blue these
602
00:34:14,786 --> 00:34:15,953
days.
>> Victoria: I'm sure that you
603
00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:19,157
can find a way to put a stop to
Devon reconciling with Tucker.
604
00:34:19,223 --> 00:34:20,725
>> Nate: Still, that wouldn't
feel right.
605
00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:23,795
My willingness to help you
acquire a controlling interest
606
00:34:23,861 --> 00:34:26,964
in Chancellor-Winters via the
company's IPO is what started
607
00:34:27,031 --> 00:34:28,699
all this tension in my family in
the first place.
608
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:30,568
>> Victoria: But you didn't
cause the current conflict
609
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:32,437
between Devon and Lily.
It's not your fault that they
610
00:34:32,503 --> 00:34:34,272
can't decide whether or not to
proceed with the IPO.
611
00:34:34,338 --> 00:34:36,474
>> Nate: Still, I hate that they
are fighting.
612
00:34:36,541 --> 00:34:39,911
And maybe this offer from Tucker
can help end this feud.
613
00:34:39,977 --> 00:34:43,014
>> Victoria: You want to bring
peace to the Winters, which will
614
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,684
only happen if Devon agrees to
give up his claim in Neil's
615
00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:49,220
company in favor of running
Tucker's.
616
00:34:49,287 --> 00:34:52,023
>> Nate: Honestly, on a personal
level, I'd like to see that
617
00:34:52,089 --> 00:34:54,225
happen.
>> Victoria: But professionally,
618
00:34:54,292 --> 00:35:05,937
it's not in our best interests.
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
619
00:35:06,003 --> 00:35:09,040
>> Audra: Looks like you don't
have much of a choice.
