00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:22,007
It's been approved.
347
00:17:22,074 --> 00:17:23,976
Someone will be in shortly
to discuss these forms
348
00:17:24,042 --> 00:17:25,377
with you.
349
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:27,146
>> Sally: Thank you.
350
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:53,672
>> Audra: Audra Charles,
COO Newman Media.
351
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:56,542
>> Adam: Whatever it is
you want, Miss Charles,
352
00:17:56,608 --> 00:17:58,210
I'm not interested.
353
00:17:58,277 --> 00:18:00,813
No matter how flirtatious
you try to be.
354
00:18:00,879 --> 00:18:03,849
>> Audra: Oh, um...
355
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,285
no flirtation intended.
356
00:18:06,351 --> 00:18:09,221
Look, I was merely curious
about my new competition,
357
00:18:09,288 --> 00:18:11,523
that's all.
358
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:13,959
>> Adam: Well, yes,
that is exactly what I am.
359
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:19,565
I am your newest
and most lethal competition.
360
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:24,102
>> Audra: Wow,
that sounds almost ominous.
361
00:18:24,169 --> 00:18:27,005
How afraid should I be?
362
00:18:27,072 --> 00:18:28,774
Look, from what
I understand here,
363
00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:31,577
company du jour, McCall
is struggling to get back
364
00:18:31,643 --> 00:18:35,414
on its feet
and a man with your track record
365
00:18:35,481 --> 00:18:38,317
doesn't help its chances.
366
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:41,787
>> Adam: I see you have done
your research.
367
00:18:41,854 --> 00:18:44,790
>> Audra: Well, it's hard
to avoid the many
368
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:48,360
sordid exploits
of Adam Newman in this town.
369
00:18:48,427 --> 00:18:49,695
>> Adam: Well,
I wouldn't believe
370
00:18:49,761 --> 00:18:51,897
half of what you hear.
371
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:53,899
But speaking of exploits,
should I believe the one
372
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:56,034
that you're soon going to be
in charge of the whole show
373
00:18:56,101 --> 00:18:58,437
at Newman Media?
374
00:18:58,504 --> 00:19:00,072
>> Audra: Where did you
hear that?
375
00:19:00,138 --> 00:19:01,673
>> Adam: Oh, I have
a pretty good handle
376
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:03,308
on Nate Hastings.
377
00:19:03,375 --> 00:19:05,577
Victoria and he
have gotten involved in,
378
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:11,116
what would you say, um,
extracurricular kind of affair,
379
00:19:11,183 --> 00:19:13,452
but I'm sure
you already know that.
380
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:15,120
So, I can only assume
that Victoria will soon
381
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:16,588
be dragging him
into the business
382
00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:18,490
of the parent company.
383
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:21,026
Something I'm sure
that Nate covets.
384
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:24,830
>> Audra: Hmm,
well, looks like you've done
385
00:19:24,897 --> 00:19:26,899
quite a bit of research
on your own.
386
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:28,800
>> Adam: Mm-hmm, enough to know
that Newman Media
387
00:19:28,867 --> 00:19:30,836
is going to need somebody
that's perfectly positioned
388
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:32,838
to step up.
389
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:34,573
>> Audra: Well, who am I
to speculate,
390
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,578
but if you are right,
I am more than ready.
391
00:19:39,645 --> 00:19:42,514
>> Adam: Yeah,
I just bet you are.
392
00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:45,417
[ Victor sighing ]
>> Nikki: This is really
393
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:46,752
weighing on you, isn't?
394
00:19:46,818 --> 00:19:48,754
>> Victor: Yeah.
395
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:51,390
I mean, it's not only
Nicholas and Victoria, it's the
396
00:19:51,456 --> 00:19:53,091
whole family is at odds.
397
00:19:53,158 --> 00:19:54,927
I don't like it.
398
00:19:54,993 --> 00:19:57,195
>> Nikki: I can't argue
with that.
399
00:19:57,262 --> 00:19:59,765
>> Victor: Adam lost his child.
400
00:19:59,831 --> 00:20:03,368
We almost lost beautiful Faith
to that Cameron bastard.
401
00:20:03,435 --> 00:20:06,939
And everyone is going off
in all kinds of directions.
402
00:20:07,005 --> 00:20:09,141
>> Nikki: It does seem that way.
403
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:12,644
Faith is going back to school,
Victoria's trying to drive
404
00:20:12,711 --> 00:20:15,047
Nicholas away.
405
00:20:15,113 --> 00:20:17,149
>> Victor: And you know, Adam...
406
00:20:17,215 --> 00:20:19,885
is clearly on a downward spiral.
407
00:20:19,952 --> 00:20:22,554
>> Nikki: Not to mention
Noah's departure.
408
00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:24,656
And Johnny and Katie
are going to be heading
409
00:20:24,723 --> 00:20:26,858
to boarding school this fall.
410
00:20:26,925 --> 00:20:29,828
>> Victor: You know how
upsetting that is to me?
411
00:20:29,895 --> 00:20:33,498
Considering that I had thought
I had imbued everyone
412
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,234
with a sense of,
"Family sticks together,
413
00:20:36,301 --> 00:20:39,371
whatever problems we have,
we resolve it together."
414
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:41,573
>> Nikki: And you did
an excellent job of that.
415
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,943
Believe me, they know it
deep in their heart.
416
00:20:45,010 --> 00:20:48,146
Sometimes, they just need
a little reminding.
417
00:20:48,213 --> 00:20:52,084
>> Victor: I guess you're right.
418
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:56,121
But one thing I can assure you.
419
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:59,358
I bet you Nate Hastings
has something to do
420
00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:01,727
with our son's departure.
421
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,535
>> Nate: You know, Nick...
422
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:13,605
I remember when we were friends.
423
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:14,773
What happened?
424
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,509
When did that stop?
425
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:19,444
>> Nick: Maybe it's when
you lied to my face
426
00:21:19,511 --> 00:21:21,747
about being with Elena
while she was with Devon.
427
00:21:21,813 --> 00:21:23,515
Now...
428
00:21:23,582 --> 00:21:25,150
everybody knows my story.
429
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:28,186
Who am I to throw stones
about infidelity?
430
00:21:28,253 --> 00:21:30,255
So, it's probably
because you betrayed your family
431
00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:32,357
when you tried to sell out
Neil's company.
432
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:35,360
>> Nate: Man. [ chuckling ]
You really won't let that go,
433
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:36,228
will you?
434
00:21:36,294 --> 00:21:38,797
>> Nick: He was my friend.
435
00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:41,400
The loyalty that Neil showed
to the people he cared about,
436
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:44,269
his family and friends
was unmatched.
437
00:21:44,336 --> 00:21:46,338
It's one of the things
I loved most about him.
438
00:21:46,405 --> 00:21:49,074
>> Nate: So, what
are you saying? I'm not loyal
439
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:50,942
to the people I love
like my uncle was?
440
00:21:51,009 --> 00:21:52,944
>> Nick: Nate, do you think
what you did was loyal?
441
00:21:53,011 --> 00:21:58,316
>> Nate: Nick, I ultimately
did not betray anyone.
442
00:21:58,383 --> 00:22:00,519
Yes, I was angry
at being overlooked
443
00:22:00,585 --> 00:22:04,623
and constantly demoralized,
but in the end...
444
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:07,959
I couldn't,
couldn't go through with it.
445
00:22:08,026 --> 00:22:09,327
>> Nick: Well, look at that.
446
00:22:09,394 --> 00:22:11,663
Obviously, there's a conscience
in there somewhere.
447
00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:14,566
>> Nate: I've tried
to make up for it ever since.
448
00:22:14,633 --> 00:22:16,468
I've done everything
I possibly could
449
00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:19,805
to prove my regret
for the hurt I caused.
450
00:22:19,871 --> 00:22:22,574
Nick,
I wish there was something
451
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:26,211
I could say or do
to allay your suspicions of me.
452
00:22:26,278 --> 00:22:29,081
Anything that could help us
get back to some semblance
453
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:31,616
of a friendship we used to have.
454
00:22:31,683 --> 00:22:33,552
>> Nick: I know exactly
what you can do.
455
00:22:33,618 --> 00:22:35,087
Are you ready for this?
456
00:22:35,153 --> 00:22:37,656
Stay in your lane
at Newman Media.
457
00:22:37,723 --> 00:22:40,092
You don't need to go anywhere
near Newman Enterprises.
458
00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:42,661
Now, Nate, if you do that,
you'll prove to everyone,
459
00:22:42,728 --> 00:22:44,496
especially me,
that this isn't part
460
00:22:44,563 --> 00:22:46,331
of some master plan
that you've cooked up
461
00:22:46,398 --> 00:22:47,532
with my sister.
462
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:51,970
How's that sound? Does it sound
like a good solution?
463
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:54,272
>> Nate: I hear you, Nick.
464
00:22:54,339 --> 00:22:57,075
And I respect
where you're coming from.
465
00:22:57,142 --> 00:23:04,950
But if Victoria needs my input,
I'm not going to say no.
466
00:23:05,016 --> 00:23:09,421
>> Nick: Well, there it is.
467
00:23:09,488 --> 00:23:10,088
[ Nate sighing ]
468
00:23:15,093 --> 00:23:16,962
>> Nate: I've just about had it
with all your insults
469
00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:19,131
and insinuations.
470
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:20,132
>> Nick: Why is that?
471
00:23:20,198 --> 00:23:22,734
I haven't said anything
that isn't true, have I?
472
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:24,703
>> Nate: Aren't you supposed
to be using this personal time
473
00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:27,706
to take care of all the things
and turmoil in your life
474
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:28,774
right now?
475
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,976
>> Nick: Yeah, Vic said
I should be using this time
476
00:23:31,042 --> 00:23:34,679
to take care of the people
I love, so that's exactly
477
00:23:34,746 --> 00:23:36,047
what I'm doing.
478
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:37,482
I'm trying to keep them safe.
479
00:23:37,549 --> 00:23:39,518
>> Nate: Hm. From me.
480
00:23:39,584 --> 00:23:42,921
>> Nick: I'm glad
you finally admit it.
481
00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:45,590
>> Nate: Nick,
I am genuinely sorry
482
00:23:45,657 --> 00:23:47,025
to hear what
you've had to endure
483
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,393
these past few days.
484
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:50,962
Genuinely.
485
00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:52,864
But don't blame me
because you couldn't stop
486
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:55,567
your daughter
from being kidnapped.
487
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:58,270
Or for the fact
that you weren't there for Sally
488
00:23:58,336 --> 00:23:59,871
when she lost her baby.
489
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:06,211
>> Tucker: Hey, Victoria.
490
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:14,686
Better break that up
before it gets physical.
491
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:17,155
>> Victoria: You didn't waste
anytime, did you?
492
00:24:17,222 --> 00:24:20,892
You just had to come here
and blame Nate for my decision
493
00:24:20,959 --> 00:24:22,861
for your time off?
494
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:25,530
And wrongly so, I might add.
495
00:24:25,597 --> 00:24:28,867
>> Nate: Everything's fine,
Victoria.
496
00:24:28,934 --> 00:24:32,304
I don't fault Nick
for jumping to conclusions.
497
00:24:32,370 --> 00:24:34,139
Your brother's had this idea
in his head
498
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:37,776
for quite some time now,
but no worries.
499
00:24:37,843 --> 00:24:38,944
I can handle it.
500
00:24:40,478 --> 00:24:41,713
[ phone chiming ]
>> Nick: You know what?
501
00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:53,892
You two, uh,
just do exactly whatever it is
502
00:24:53,959 --> 00:24:55,861
you think you got to do.
503
00:24:55,927 --> 00:24:57,863
Just remember,
plans like this usually end up
504
00:24:57,929 --> 00:24:59,397
crashing and burning.
505
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:06,905
>> Audra: You know,
when I arrived in Genoa City,
506
00:25:06,972 --> 00:25:09,407
I first considered
uh, looking for a little
507
00:25:09,474 --> 00:25:12,077
pied-a-terre to settle into.
508
00:25:12,143 --> 00:25:14,079
But I'm glad I decided
to stay here,
509
00:25:14,145 --> 00:25:15,847
you know, at the club.
510
00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:19,651
It's just so convenient
having the lounge downstairs.
511
00:25:19,718 --> 00:25:22,354
You know, it turns out,
this is a hot spot
512
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:27,792
where all the movers and shakers
seem to stop through.
513
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:30,061
>> Tucker: Hi there.
514
00:25:30,128 --> 00:25:31,796
>> Adam: Are you-- are you
looking to cause
515
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:33,231
more trouble, Tucker?
516
00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:34,666
Or you just trying
to stick your nose
517

that Sally Spectra
lost her child

offer my condolences.

how do you even know

that Victoria

would allow herself
to be manipulated by a man

00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:26,618
after everything that happened
with Ashland.

she's the one driving this?

Nate Hastings is more than eager
to follow her.
542
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:53,745

And having to deal with Adam
doesn't help.
548
00:27:15,834 --> 00:27:21,606

pushing you to forgive him.

have to be something

am I taking you?

Have you given any thought
to my offer of...

00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:56,207

>> Sally: I love the way you're
always looking out for me.
562
00:28:07,786 --> 00:28:09,654
You're the sweetest man
that I know,
563
00:28:09,721 --> 00:28:16,628
and I really am touched
by your offer, but...
564
00:28:16,694 --> 00:28:19,998
moving in with you and Christian
is a really big, important step,
565
00:28:20,065 --> 00:28:23,668
so I hope you don't mind
if I just...
566
00:28:23,735 --> 00:28:27,072

to think about it.
567

to my room at the Athletic Club

and take a long, hot shower.

I assume you, Nick, you know.

I had a paternity test

that tested Nick's DNA
and it ruled him out.

00:34:52,790 --> 00:34:55,460
you look like you've been
through the ringer.
691
00:34:55,526 --> 00:34:59,931
[ Victoria laughing ]
>> Victoria: Yes, I-- I have.
692
00:34:59,997 --> 00:35:03,201
The Mom and Dad spin dry.
693
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:06,137
Both my parents were all over me
about insisting that Nick
694
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:08,139
takes time off.
695
00:35:08,206 --> 00:35:09,707
>> Nate: Does that mean
you're having
696
00:35:09,774 --> 00:35:11,309
second thoughts now?
697
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:12,210
>> Victoria: Actually, no.
698
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:14,679
It's just given me more resolve.
699
00:35:14,745 --> 00:35:20,785
I, um, made it perfectly clear
that this was my decision.
700
00:35:20,852 --> 00:35:23,254
But I can't back down
because I know it's what's best
701
00:35:23,321 --> 00:35:25,356
for the company
and for Nicholas.
702
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:29,727
>> Nate: So, you held your
ground. Good for you.
703
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,562
>> Victoria: I'm sure my brother
must have told you
704
00:35:31,629 --> 00:35:35,600
that this leave of absence
is effective immediately.
705
00:35:35,666 --> 00:35:37,468
>> Nate: Immediately?
706
00:35:37,535 --> 00:35:39,170
That was fast.
707
00:35:39,237 --> 00:35:41,005
>> Victoria: Yes.
708
00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:45,209
Which is why I would like
to officially name you
709
00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:48,779
interim COO
of Newman Enterprises
710
00:35:48,846 --> 00:35:51,516
in Nick's absence.
711
00:35:51,582 --> 00:35:53,317
Are you okay with that?
712
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,593
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
713
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:04,729
>> Jack: You lied to Kyle.
714
00:36:04,795 --> 00:36:06,130
Again.
715
00:36:06,197 --> 00:36:08,599
>> Summer: Kyle wants
to separate.
716
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:10,935
He asked me to move out.
717
00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:12,803
>> Audra: My achievements
are not confined
718
00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:14,972
to the boardroom.
719
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:19,110
I got a few moves. [ chuckling ]
>> Kyle: I bet you do.
720
00:36:19,176 --> 00:36:20,912
How about you show me some?
721
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:31,989
