>> Nate: [ Sighs ] >> Nate: Trust me, the only
thing that's going on between me and Victoria is business.
I admire her, the way her mind works, her business acumen.
Look, I am learning a lot from her,
and I won't deny that we work well together.
I-I don't understand why we have to go through this again.
[ Cellphone touches bar top ] >> Victoria: Right now I need
as much information as possible so that I can make my move,
'cause information is power. And power -- Power is control.
>> Nate: And you like having control.
>> Victoria: It's every bit as important to me as money,
if not more so. >> Nate: [ Breathing heavily ]
>> Nate: [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ] >> Tucker: Adam.
>> Adam: Hey. >> Tucker: [ Grunts ]
>> Adam: Hey. Um,
can I buy you a drink? >> Tucker: Hmm, it's an
interesting offer. >> Adam: It is?
I, um -- I didn't mean it to be interesting.
I just, uh, wanted somebody to drink with, you know.
>> Tucker: Actually on the upswing these days.
If you're looking for someone to commiserate with,
you got the wrong guy. >> Adam: Do you want a drink
or not? >> Tucker: Uh, I'll have a
bourbon, neat, please. Thanks.
>> Adam: So, is, uh, one of the things on the upswing you
selling McCall? >> Tucker: [ Sighs ]
You're not much of a small talker, are you?
>> Adam: Well, word on the street is, your company is
for sale. >> Tucker: Word on the street?
Ah. You and I must be hanging out
on different streets. Where'd you hear that?
Thank you. >> Adam: Well, you know, I keep
my, uh, ear to the ground. >> Tucker: Hmm.
Your sister and dad told you, right?
I didn't know you were in the Newman inner circle these days.
>> Adam: Yeah, we're, um -- we're tight.
We're -- We actually, um -- We've never been closer.
>> Tucker: Hmm. I'm sure.
You relish your role as the black sheep
of the family, don't you? Having plunged a dagger
into your dad's heart by going to work
for Jack Abbott, I can't imagine that put you
on his good side. Frankly, everyone knows
Victoria's distaste for you. So, honestly,
where did you hear this? >> Devon: Thank you so much
for getting this food. I didn't realize
how hungry I was. >> Abby: I didn't want you
to starve to death. I know you.
And I know that you're not gonna take a break, so I had to come
over here and force you to take one with just a few
of your favorite things. >> Devon: Hmm.
Are you talking about you and Dominic?
>> Abby: Well, I was referring to the empanadas, but, yes,
us too. [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: No, they were delicious.
But nothing beats spending time with you and our little guy.
Just looking into his face always puts things
back into perspective. So I appreciate you
bringing him over here. >> Abby: Well, he loves you, and
you certainly wore him out, because he has not made a peep
since you put him down. >> Devon: I -- Right.
[ Both chuckle ] I know.
He's always been a good sleeper, though.
I just love this age and getting to see the world
through his eyes, 'cause it's like you're discovering
everything for the first time. You know?
>> Abby: Doesn't it make you want to be a kid again?
>> Devon: No. >> Abby: No?
>> Devon: It's not -- Not me. No.
But today did remind me of why I'm fighting so hard
to get my company back and why I'm considering
buying McCall, because it's not for me at all.
It's for our son's future. >> Abby: Look, I -- I know
where you're coming from, but you don't have to wrestle
back your company for Dominic. Who knows?
He might not even want to be a part of the business
when he gets older. He's going to be his own person,
create his own career, his own path.
>> Devon: Yeah, I Know. I know. And I would never force him
to do anything he doesn't want to do.
But I just mean, I want him to be proud of me.
You know, I want him to be proud that I'm fighting
to protect the family legacy. >> Abby: Well, he is gonna be
proud of the man you are, no matter what.
I promise you that. And look, I hate to segue
back into business, but are you still considering
buying McCall?
>> Nick: I came down to see if I could catch Vick.
She still around? >> Nate: I'm not sure.
We finished up a while ago. You know, I don't always know
where she is or what she's up to, right?
>> Nick: Yeah, Nate. I'll call her later.
Where are you headed to? >> Nate: It's personal
information. I like to keep it that way.
But Elena and I had an argument earlier.
That's why I decided to come out, you know, have a
drink and clear my head. [ Clears throat ]
>> Nick: Interesting. When I saw you earlier,
you made it seem like you came to meet with Vick
to talk about the McCall deal. >> Nate: Yeah, that's how I
clear my head these days -- scotch and strategizing
about Newman Media. Business is sometimes
a good distraction from your personal life.
You know? >> Nick: And vice versa.
>> Nate: Anyway, I'm too tired to face what's waiting for me
at home, so I thought it'd be a good idea if I give Elena and me
some space and crash here for the night.
>> Nick: Well, good luck with that.
>> Nate: It'll be fine. Good night.
>> Nick: Good night. [ Elevator door closing ]
>> Devon: I told Tucker that I knew about him
offering his company to Newman first.
>> Abby: Mm. And did he have an explanation?
>> Devon: He did, yeah. And it made some sense.
But the more I think about it, I realize
that it doesn't really matter that he went to Newman first,
'cause he pulled that offer. As long as he's being sincere
about what he's offering me. >> Abby: Well, sincerity is
always in question when it comes to Tucker.
>> Devon: Right, right. I just -- I feel like my reasons
for wanting to buy the company are more important
than whatever his reasons are for trying to sell it.
>> Abby: And what are those reasons?
>> Devon: Oh, just the safety-net argument.
You know, in case things don't go well with this lawsuit and
getting back Hamilton-Winters, obviously getting the company
back is my priority. But I have to be smart.
You know? And I have to consider
whether there's a benefit to rebuilding
a company with Tucker. >> Abby: Look, I know that I
have been the one that was kind of pushing this whole
McCall-Tucker thing, but, honestly, I-I don't know
if I can fully trust Tucker, and I would never want you
to get burned again. >> Devon: We did riff off
each other pretty well when we were talking
about our ideas for fixing the company.
>> Abby: Okay, well, I guess it's great to be on the same
page as the person running the company before you,
but it's not like you would be moving forward,
working together. I mean...
>> Devon: Well, there's another element to this whole thing.
He said that if I were to buy the company,
he'd want to come on and take an advisory role and report to me.
>> Abby: Wait, so, he would want to take a lesser position?
>> Devon: Mm-hmm. >> Abby: How do you feel
about that? >> Devon: It's -- It's probably
a sign that he's being honest about wanting to actually
fix things between us, 'cause I know he doesn't like
to take orders from anybody. >> Abby: Yeah, agreed.
That's true. Um, I guess it shows that he's
trying to form a connection. But I mean, that's if we are
giving him the benefit of the doubt.
>> Devon: Right. And should we?
>> Adam: You obviously don't have your ears as low to the
ground as I do. Um, [Inhales deeply] I'm
actually no longer at Jabot. >> Tucker: No, I know that.
Ashley told me you underperformed your way out the
door there. >> Adam: It wasn't a good fit.
>> Tucker: The C-suite press-release lingo.
Did you also quit to spend more time with family?
[ Chuckles ] Of course, that doesn't track,
because your family can't stand you.
>> Adam: No, Victoria, Dad, and I -- we have our issues,
but, uh, at the end of the day, we're family.
And we always will be. >> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
>> Adam: I know you can understand that, with everything
that's going on with Devon. >> Tucker: Indeed, I can.
Father-son relationships are, uh, huh, complicated.
Yeah. >> Adam: Yeah, that's the thing
about Victor me, is we -- we understand each other
on a cellular level because we are so much alike.
>> Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, you are.
You're both miserable, ruthless. >> Adam: See, you, on the other
hand, you are nothing like Devon.
You know, him being principled, thoughtful.
>> Tucker: [ Chuckles ] >> Adam: Yeah, you really
botched that relationship. It sounds like he doesn't want
anything to do with you, including acquiring McCall.
Which means I might actually end up being the CEO of your empire.
[ Slaps bar top ] We should drink to that.
>> Tucker: Adam... [Sighs] over my dead body
will you ever have anything to do with my company.
>> Nate: [ Sighs ] [ Lock rattles ]
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ] I'm glad you're here.
Come in. >> Nate: [ Clears throat ]
>> Victoria: Get you a Scotch? >> Nate: Listen, I, uh -- I need
to make something clear. I'm not, um, here for sex.
I just didn't want to be rude and not respond at all.
>> Victoria: Oh. So, instead, you decided
to come here in person and tell me to my face
that you're not interested. >> Nate: You know full well
I'm interested. And that is the problem.
I'm already in two committed relationships, okay?
One with Elena, and the other with Newman Media.
And I'm not about to screw up either one.
>> Victoria: [ Inhales deeply ] Do you want to sit down and
talk? >> Nate: [ Sighs ]
>> Victoria: Oh, of course. Okay, well, both feet on the
ground at all times. [ Chuckles ]
This isn't exactly great for a girl's confidence.
>> Nate: As much as I'd like to throw caution to the wind --
and trust me, part of me wants to more than you know --
there's a logical side of me that's holding me back.
Okay? Not only because
I'm in a relationship with a woman I care about,
but I would hate for this amazing connection
we have at work to somehow be tarnished.
I'm happier at Newman than I've been in a long time.
>> Victoria: Does some of that happiness have to do with me?
>> Nate: Of course. I love working with you.
You're a great boss, great leader, a true visionary.
>> Victoria: That's it? [ Chuckles ]
You know, the same could be said for my father.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ] You look better in a dress.
>> Victoria: [ Chuckles ] >> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
Obviously, there are, um, other physical feelings.
A lot of desire. >> Victoria: How much desire?
>> Nate: So much... desire.
But I have to rise above it, okay?
We both do, for the sake of our working relationship.
I'm sorry if you disagree or you think this makes things
untenable for you, but I definitely think
it would make things untenable if we act on our feelings.
I hope you're not insulted. >> Victoria: I'm not.
And I think your earnestness makes you even more attractive.
[ Inhales deeply ] You should probably go.
[ Sighs ] I'm gonna just enjoy
my little nightcap alone. >> Nate: Are we okay?
>> Victoria: Yes, of course we're okay.
I'll see you at the office tomorrow.
>> Nate: [ Sighs ] >> Adam: So, when you
sell McCall to Newman, Victor, um, intends
to install me as CEO. >> Tucker: Hmm.
Well, in that case, it's a good thing
I have no intention of selling to Newman...
>> Adam: Hmm. >> Tucker: ...'cause having you
at the helm would be a surefire way to run it into the ground.
And your intel about my relationship with Devon
is old news. I don't know what wild promises
your father is making to you, but you should know better
than to fall for them. The scenario you described is
absolutely never going to happen.
>> Adam: Hmm. >> Tucker: So I would tell him
and your sister to just move on. >> Adam: Well, your deal with
Devon isn't done yet. And there's two things
that I know about my family. One, they don't give up
and just walk away. And two, everyone has their
price. And the Newmans
will pay that price. >> Nick: Well, look at this.
You boys love to hear yourselves talk so much, I'm surprised
there's any oxygen left in the room.
>> Tucker: What is this, a Newman convention?
>> Nick: Just came for some takeout.
Not interested at all in whatever this is.
>> Adam: Well, Tucker was just throwing down the gauntlet,
saying that Newman Enterprises will never get its hands
on McCall Unlimited, which kind of sounds like the
opening of a negotiation to me. So, you know, what would it take
for you to change your mind? >> Tucker: Hmm.
Well, Devon means everything to me.
And you -- you mean less than nothing.
So... how's that for negotiation?
Thanks for the drink. Okay? >> Nick: Well, there you go.
You got your answer straight from the man himself.
He's never going to let Newman buy McCall.
Are you ready to let this go yet?
>> Abby: Well, you have a lot to think about.
>> Devon: Hmm. >> Abby: Hmm.
And I love being your sounding board,
but I should probably take Dominic and head home.
>> Devon: Take Dominic? >> Abby: Mm-hmm.
>> Devon: Why you gonna do that? He's asleep.
You don't want to wake him up. >> Abby: Well, I guess I could
leave him here and come get him in the morning.
>> Devon: I have a better idea. How about you just don't go
home. >> Abby: Hmm, but I have to get
up very early in the morning. >> Devon: Oh, then I can wake
you up very early in the morning.
>> Abby: Can you? >> Devon: I can.
>> Abby: [ Chuckles ] >> Devon: And you just had wine.
You don't need to be driving anywhere.
>> Abby: Oh, is that what you were thinking when you poured me
that glass? >> Devon: No. No.
No, not at all. And I have so much on my mind,
you know I'm gonna be lousy company for myself.
I'm not gonna get any rest. >> Abby: Are you suggesting
that I put you to sleep? >> Devon: Well, that depends on
if you think you're up to that. >> Abby: I am always up to that.
>> Devon: You are? >> Abby: Mm-hmm.
>> Devon: Hmm. Then be my guest.
>> Abby: Hmm. [ Chuckles ]
>> Adam: It's going to take more than Tucker walking out of
here, pouting, for me to give up on McCall.
We just have to make sure that Devon does not accept his offer.
>> Nick: Tucker wants Devon to have the company.
Tucker usually gets what he wants.
AND Well, it might be harder for him to win back his son
than he thinks. And if there's one thing
that I know, it's how to work the angles on a fractured
father-son relationship. >> Nick: [ Sighs ]
Look, Adam, even if Devon wasn't in the picture,
it's Tucker's call to make. What makes you think he's going
to sell McCall to Newman? I mean, he clearly doesn't want
you anywhere near that CEO chair.
>> Adam: Yeah, but Victor does. And Tucker is no match
for our father. >> Nick: Well, that may be,
but you know who is? Victoria.
>> Adam: Okay, well, she's not gonna come out on top
on this one. >> Nick: [ Sighs ]
You know the reason you and Vick don't get along?
Because you're too much like Dad.
You're both willing to fight tooth and nail for this
acquisition, and then you will tear each other apart.
>> Adam: Yeah. I mean, so what?
It -- It's our normal. >> Nick: Mnh-mnh.
It's weird and it's toxic, and you guys need hobbies.
And I have no interest in being a part of another
Newman family drama. It's why I'm working so hard
to keep things civil between you and me when it comes to Sally
and the baby. >> Adam: I appreciate that.
>> Nick: Okay. So is there any chance you could
let go of this dream of running Tucker's company?
Adam, you can do whatever you want.
You have several high-profile options.
Start your own damn company. The world is your oyster.
Why does it have to be Tucker's company that will satisfy you?
>> Adam: Because now I have a reason to fight for it.
I have a baby on the way, and I want to leave a legacy behind --
a Newman legacy for both of my children.
[ Sighs ] >> Audra: Nate.
>> Nate: Hey. >> Audra: What are you doing
here? I thought you had a date night
with Elena. >> Nate: She had a long day,
so it was an early evening. >> Audra: Listen, I still feel
terrible if I caused any misunderstanding between
the two of you. If there's anything I can do --
>> Nate: There's not. I cleared it up with Elena.
>> Audra: Oh. I'm glad.
Uh, then what are you doing here now and not at home?
>> Nate: I just had a restless night.
>> Audra: Then, definitely, the thing you need is coffee.
Why don't you join me? >> Nate: Look, I still have a
ton of work to do at home. That's why I'm here,
to fuel up. >> Audra: Okay, No worries.
See you tomorrow. Did you see Victoria
this evening? >> Nate: Why do you ask?
>> Victor: Hello, son. Sit down.
Now, you made it sound urgent on the phone.
>> Adam: Yeah, well, I wanted to talk to you before morning.
I, um, ran into Tucker tonight. >> Victor: Hmm.
>> Adam: And he seemed awfully determined to make a deal with
Devon. >> Victor: Well,
what Tucker wants and what he thinks Devon will
do -- you know, two different things.
Okay? Victoria tells me that she had
a conversation with Devon, who informed her that he wanted
nothing to do with his father. >> Adam: Okay, well, then maybe
something has changed. I mean, Tucker seemed
pretty confident, pretty adamant that he could
get Devon to make him an offer. >> Victor: Listen,
Tucker McCall has always been full of confidence.
He's been full of bull. >> Adam: I just -- I-I think
McCall is gonna be an uphill battle, but I don't want to
let it go. Okay?
I've gotten pretty excited about this idea.
>> Victor: So have I. I want it for you,
and I want for the family. >> Adam: Hmm.
I'm not sure it's gonna be one big happy family
as you're envisioning, but -- >> Victor: I'll work that out.
>> Adam: Hmm. You're gonna work out Victoria's
lifelong animosity towards me? >> Victor: We'll take things
step by step. And the first step is to acquire
McCall Unlimited. >> Adam: Okay, Well, the key
to our success there is Devon. We need to make sure
that he is not interested, because Tucker made it clear
that he plans to sell to him, and that is his end game.
>> Victor: Leave it up to me.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Victor: I agree with you. I think we do need Devon's help.
>> Adam: Well, I think it may be more effective if you
meet with him. You know, he seems to admire
you. >> Victor: I respect him,
as well, so I'll see what I can do.
Alright? >> Adam: Okay.
Maybe go meet with him tomorrow morning, yeah?
>> Victor: To hell with that. I'll meet him tonight.
>> Adam: Perfect. >> Victor: Now, I'm sort of
feeling that the tide is turning in my favor.
I see you sort of coming back into the family.
>> Adam: Only under the conditions that you promised.
This is not a warm and fuzzy reunion.
It's a totally selfish move. >> Victor: You don't think
I know that? >> Audra: I was curious
where things stood with the McCall acquisition.
I know Victoria had some further thoughts on Newman
coming in with a strong offer. >> Nate: Yeah, I, uh, saw her,
and we talked about it. >> Audra: Tell me.
>> Nate: I guess I can spare a few minutes, since we're
talking shop. >> Audra: And I always love
having the boss's ear. >> Nate: Well, Victoria had
a conversation with Tucker, and she tried to convince him
that Newman was the right place to sell his company.
>> Audra: Was she successful? >> Nate: Not sure.
>> Audra: Listen, I still think you can be instrumental
in this deal. Why not give it a shot
by talking to Devon? >> Nate: I don't think
that would ever work. And frankly,
I don't want to even try. Still too much anger
and hurt feelings there. I want to bridge that gap
eventually, but that isn't the way.
If I try to mix business with personal problems,
it's only gonna make things much worse.
I need to make peace with Devon slowly and carefully.
>> Audra: I know Victoria wanted you to make inroads
with Devon, as well, so she'll be disappointed.
But I'm sure you can smooth that over.
>> Nate: I already let her know where I stand on that.
>> Audra: A woman like Victoria can be hard to say no to.
But I've noticed you hold your own with strong women.
And Victoria will get over it. Ultimately, you know, she'll
admire you for wanting to mend fences with your family,
the same way I do. >> Nate: Hmm.
I don't know if it'd ever work, but thanks for the talk.
Guess I needed to decompress more than I thought.
Well, I should get going. >> Audra: Yeah.
Try and get some rest. I'm sure Elena's probably
waiting up for you. >> Nate: Hmm.
>> Tucker: Well, well, well. Working late, I see.
[ Knock on door ] >> Devon: [ Sighs ]
Uh, just a second. Mr. Newman.
>> Victor: Hello, Devon. >> Devon: Hi.
>> Victor: How the hell are you? >> Devon: I'm alright.
Everything okay? >> Victor: Sorry to disturb you
so late. >> Devon: It's okay.
>> Victor: There's something I need to discuss with you.
>> Devon: And what would that be?
>> Victor: Well, it's about Tucker McCall.
>> Devon: I heard he tried to sell you his company.
>> Victor: Yeah. Now, I want to know from you
whether Victoria was right when she said
that, um, you weren't interested in buying his company.
>> Devon: Well, I may be changing my mind about that.
>> Victor: And why is that? >> Devon: Uh, it's --
It's a complicated situation. I'm not really sure
you'd understand. >> Victor: Huh?
Pardon me, but try me. Devon, try me.
>> Nate: [ Sighs ] Hey.
>> Elena: Hey. [ Keys jingle onto tray ]
>> Nate: I thought you went to bed a while ago.
>> Elena: I did, but I woke up and I couldn't get back to
sleep. I thought you were in
for the night. Where were you?
>> Nate: Ah, well, after you went to sleep, I was still
wired, so I decided to meet up with Victoria to keep talking
about the McCall acquisition. >> Elena: Of course you did.
>> Nate: What? That's what happened.
Would it be better if I told you I went for a walk?
>> Elena: Are you asking me if you should lie to me?
No, Nate, you shouldn't lie to me.
But obviously you thought about it.
>> Nate: I am telling you the truth because I want you to know
you have nothing to worry about. >> Elena: Hmm.
>> Nate: Victoria and I have a work relationship,
nothing more. >> Elena: It's funny.
That's exactly what I used to say to Devon.
>> Nate: Oh. >> Elena: But I guess
that wasn't entirely true. And it wasn't.
>> Nate: The difference is, Victoria and I
aren't doing anything. Look, she's determined
to get McCall. We had to go over
all the different permutations, find the best path to bring
Tucker's company into Newman. She wanted to talk about it
so we can cover every aspect of the deal.
Okay? >> Elena: Yeah.
Victoria is ruthless. When she sets her mind
on something she wants, she won't stop
until she gets it. >> Tucker: So, were you working
on acquiring my company or landing Nate?
>> Audra: The two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.
>> Tucker: Hmm. I like your new target.
Much better than carrying a torch for your ex.
Your quest for Noah was getting quite boring,
and you weren't getting anywhere.
This going any better? >> Audra: It's too early to say.
Nate's quite the catch, so I'm not the only one in the game.
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm. Including his girlfriend.
You better be careful. [ Sniffles ]
Elena might have more teeth than she appears to have.
>> Audra: Elena's a do-gooder doctor with a holier-than-thou
moral code. I don't see her
as my competition. >> Tucker: Hmm.
>> Audra: I'm actually more worried about Victoria Newman.
>> Tucker: Victoria and Nate? >> Audra: Not yet.
And I plan to keep it that way. >> Tucker: So, you're planning
to insert yourself between your boss
and your boss's boss? [ Chuckles ]
Hmm, it's gutsy. It also seems a little
shortsighted and reckless. How do you survive if you steal
the man Victoria Newman wants? >> Audra: I've landed on my feet
after messier situations than this one.
>> Tucker: Yes, I can attest to that.
Still, risky business. >> Audra: The bigger the risk,
the bigger the reward. >> Tucker: And you love
big rewards, don't you? [ Chuckles ]
God, you know, it's too bad that Devon doesn't trust you anymore.
Would have been nice to point you in his direction.
Could have used your help trying to convince him
to take over McCall. >> Audra: What makes you think
I would have helped you? >> Tucker: [ Clears throat ]
Yeah, transactional woman. I would have offered you
something that you wanted in return.
>> Audra: What could you possibly offer that would
interest me? >> Devon: So, you know that I'm
trying to get back control of Hamilton-Winters.
>> Victor: Oh. >> Devon: Right?
>> Victor: I've heard. And to be honest with you,
I am rather saddened by the fact that there's conflict
between you and Lily. I mean, I admire and respect
both of you. Sad that it's come to this.
>> Devon: Yeah, I'm sad that it's come to it, too,
but Lily and Jill have given me no choice.
And I'm being forced to do this to protect the legacy of Neil.
>> Victor: I understand the idea of protecting a legacy.
>> Devon: Good. >> Victor: But why try to do
that whilst attempting to get ahold of McCall Unlimited?
>> Devon: Because it would be a safety net for me in case
this lawsuit doesn't go the way I want it to.
>> Victor: Well, let me tell you something.
You're talking to a man with a lot of experience in business.
Safety nets are no good. You know why?
You never fight to the very end to get what you want.
>> Devon: I would agree with you in most cases,
but this is a very different situation,
because I'm about to go up against Lily and Jill
and the whole Chancellor-Winters legal team.
The only thing I could propose is that if you were able
to convince Jill and Lily to let me keep my company,
I might be willing to forget about McCall altogether.
>> Victor: Let me see what I can do, alright?
>> Devon: Sure. [ Footsteps on stairs ]
>> Abby: [ Sighs ] Dad, um, what are you doing
here?
>> Victor: I'm glad we have this conversation, Devon.
>> Devon: Yeah. >> Victor: Things have become
very clear to me. So I'll see you soon. Okay?
>> Devon: Sounds good. >> Victor: Thank you.
>> Devon: I'll walk you out. >> Victor: Thank you.
>> Devon: Uh-huh. Good night.
>> Abby: Well, um, that was awkward.
Not the way I wanted my dad to find out about our relationship.
>> Devon: Our relationship? >> Abby: Okay, you know
what I mean. I just -- I didn't want him
to find out about us -- whatever this is -- by me
walking downstairs wearing your shirt.
>> Devon: I know. I know. I'm sure he was shocked
by it, but, I mean, we're not doing anything wrong.
Not hurting anybody. You and Chance are divorced.
>> Abby: Yeah. And my dad always wants me
to be happy. >> Devon: Well, that makes
two of us. And if I haven't told you lately
how happy you make me, you need to know that.
I never want to lose it. >> Elena: Why are you
so defensive? >> Nate: Because you're
putting me in that position. You keep insinuating something
is going on with Victoria, and I'm trying to reassure you
that is not the case. >> Elena: I can see that.
And the more you try to reassure me,
the more worried I get. >> Nate: Oh, I can't win.
I can't win. >> Elena: Well, I can't either,
Nate. I hate feeling like this.
I don't want doubts creeping in my mind about our relationship,
but I also tend to trust my instincts.
And right now, they're driving me crazy
because I suspect something that you swear isn't happening.
Nate, I really want to believe you.
And I really hope you're not gaslighting me.
>> Nate: I'm not. I am committed
