>> Traci: Jack, she has to
know the kind of push back
175
00:07:45,998 --> 00:07:46,966
she's gonna get from you.
176
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:49,936
>> Jack: So, the family's
the last to know because
177
00:07:50,002 --> 00:07:50,903
she's a coward?
178
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,972
>> Traci: Am I going to have
to say this?
179
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:55,341
Okay, fine. Jack, you didn't
call us together for a family
180
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:57,610
meeting when you announced
Diane's promotion to the press.
181
00:07:57,677 --> 00:07:59,345
>> Diane: That's hardly
the same thing.
182
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:00,146
>> Traci: Oh, really?
183
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:01,247
Tell me how.
184
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:03,816
>> Jack: This is the second
time in recent memory that
185
00:08:03,883 --> 00:08:06,719
Ashley has chosen to play
dirty. She's not discussing
186
00:08:06,786 --> 00:08:07,887
this with any of us.
187
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:09,956
She's not answering
my questions. If she's
188
00:08:10,022 --> 00:08:12,225
determined to keep us in
the dark, we have to protect
189
00:08:12,291 --> 00:08:13,793
Jabot at all costs.
190
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:17,129
>> Traci: Oh, I hate to ask,
what does that mean?
191
00:08:17,196 --> 00:08:18,431
>> Kyle: Hey.
192
00:08:18,497 --> 00:08:20,967
>> Diane: Kyle, hi.
193
00:08:21,033 --> 00:08:23,436
>> Traci: Oh, hi, sweetheart.
194
00:08:23,502 --> 00:08:28,174
>> Kyle: Family meeting minus
Ashley and me.
195
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:30,810
Got something to tell me,
now would probably be
196
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:31,878
a good time.
197
00:08:40,987 --> 00:08:43,589
>> Sally: I've been meaning
to thank you for the card
198
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:45,925
and the flowers. It was very
thoughtful, especially in light
199
00:08:45,992 --> 00:08:49,161
of everything you and Nick
and Faith went through.
200
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:51,831
>> Sharon: Well, we all went
through quite an ordeal
201
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:53,232
that night.
202
00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:55,801
>> Sally: Yeah, they should
really make "I heard you were
203
00:08:55,868 --> 00:09:01,340
a badass and I'm glad you
didn't explode" cards.
204
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:03,809
>> Sharon: That would be...
205
00:09:03,876 --> 00:09:05,578
quite a niche market.
206
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:08,247
>> Sally: Thankfully.
207
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:11,484
>> Sharon: But you and Adam,
you lost your baby and I know
208
00:09:11,550 --> 00:09:13,619
how difficult that is.
209
00:09:13,686 --> 00:09:16,722
People grieve in many different
ways, but they say if the
210
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:20,459
parents can manage to grieve--
>> Sally: Together.
211
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:23,095
>> Sharon: Yeah, I--
I don't mean
212
00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:26,332
to overstep or suggest that
you do something that makes
213
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:27,600
you uncomfortable.
214
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,936
>> Sally: Thank you.
215
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:33,572
>> Sharon: It's just sad to see
both of your hearts broken
216
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,207
like that.
217
00:09:35,274 --> 00:09:37,276
>> Sally: Yeah, well, Adam's
fine. He's back to wheeling
218
00:09:37,343 --> 00:09:38,377
and dealing.
219
00:09:38,444 --> 00:09:40,112
>> Sharon: You heard him
on the phone.
220
00:09:40,179 --> 00:09:41,213
>> Sally: Mm-hmm.
221
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,215
>> Sharon: Yeah. He's, um,
firing people left and right
222
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:44,317
like it's a game.
223
00:09:44,383 --> 00:09:47,119
>> Sally: Mm-hmm. He's playing
god with people's lives.
224
00:09:47,186 --> 00:09:50,056
[ Sally sighing ]
Anyway, if you can support
225
00:09:50,122 --> 00:09:52,224
him in any way, I'm sure
it'd be much appreciated
226
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:56,462
by his family and
his employees, but I...
227
00:09:56,529 --> 00:09:59,465
don't owe him anything and
I have given all I plan
228
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:01,133
to give.
229
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,168
Thanks again.
230
00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:09,275
>> Ashley: A wedding gift?
231
00:10:09,342 --> 00:10:11,811
Isn't that just
slightly premature?
232
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:14,046
>> Tucker: Okay,
an engagement gift.
233
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:15,314
What can I tell you?
234
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:16,449
I'm a giver and a lover.
235
00:10:16,515 --> 00:10:17,950
That's my curse.
236
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:20,619
>> Ashley: Yeah, we talked
about this though.
237
00:10:20,686 --> 00:10:23,656
>> Tucker: Inside that box
is your fondest wish come true.
238
00:10:23,723 --> 00:10:25,891
>> Ashley: Oh, I find that
hard to believe. In a box?
239
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,360
One that small?
240
00:10:35,434 --> 00:10:38,437
I think I need to give you
a little refresher course
241
00:10:38,504 --> 00:10:40,439
on my hopes and dreams
because, um,
242
00:10:40,506 --> 00:10:41,540
a phone number, really?
243
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:42,375
>> Tucker: Yes.
244
00:10:42,441 --> 00:10:43,576
>> Ashley: And whose is it?
245
00:10:43,642 --> 00:10:46,245
>> Tucker: It's a gentleman
I know who is the key to
246
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:48,214
bringing Phyllis home for good.
247
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,549
>> Ashley: Oh, and Phyllis
is the person that could
248
00:10:50,616 --> 00:10:53,386
get rid of Diane once and
for all.
249
00:10:53,452 --> 00:10:55,688
This guy's gonna make
my dreams come true?
250
00:10:55,755 --> 00:10:56,856
>> Tucker: Yes.
251
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:58,591
>> Ashley: How'd you find him?
252
00:10:58,657 --> 00:11:01,727
>> Tucker: Let's just say
he is closing in on the EMT
253
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:04,663
who survived Phyllis'
ambulance crash.
254
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:06,665
>> Ashley: Okay, you're not
toying with my emotions,
255
00:11:06,732 --> 00:11:07,700
are you?
256
00:11:07,767 --> 00:11:12,538
>> Tucker: No, I overheard
Michael talking with...
257
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:15,241
Michael talking with Phyllis'
kids yesterday.
258
00:11:15,307 --> 00:11:16,375
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
259
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:18,978
>> Tucker: And from what I've
gathered, this Carson guy,
260
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:21,614
this EMT, is the key to
making her self-defense
261
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,883
claim stick.
262
00:11:23,949 --> 00:11:25,985
>> Ashley: That's not gonna be
enough to get her off
263
00:11:26,052 --> 00:11:27,019
the hook completely.
264
00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:29,755
>> Tucker: Eh. Baldwin has
been known to pull some
265
00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:32,591
rabbits out of a hat
and she's got you and
266
00:11:32,658 --> 00:11:34,727
Nikki Newman to vouch for her.
267
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:37,730
>> Ashley: Oh, I hate to get
my hopes up. It hurts so bad
268
00:11:37,797 --> 00:11:39,231
when they crash and burn.
269
00:11:39,298 --> 00:11:42,435
>> Tucker: I understand,
but if I can bring this EMT in
270
00:11:42,501 --> 00:11:47,139
on a platter, that'll keep
Phyllis out of lockup.
271
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:51,510
She would be beholden to us,
would she not?
272
00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:53,679
>> Phyllis: All right, tell me,
where does it stand with
273
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:55,748
you and Kyle?
274
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:58,751
>> Summer: I got a room at
the Athletic Club.
275
00:11:58,818 --> 00:12:00,453
>> Phyllis: You did?
276
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,255
Oh, no. What about Harrison?
277
00:12:03,322 --> 00:12:08,194
>> Summer: Harrison, he's
confused. He's sad.
278
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:11,864
He's trying to act like
he's brave and it just sucks
279
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:15,534
because I-- I mean,
I love him like he's my own.
280
00:12:15,601 --> 00:12:18,737
>> Phyllis: I know,
but this is horrible.
281
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:21,707
>> Summer: Yeah, Kyle hates me
and I-- I don't know if I can
282
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:23,075
turn it around.
283
00:12:23,142 --> 00:12:24,143
>> Phyllis: Don't say that!
284
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:25,778
Of course you can
turn it around.
285
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:26,979
Hate is as strong as love.
286
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:30,549
It's an emotion that is as
strong as love, okay?
287
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:33,686
It's filled with passion,
so just step back and let
288
00:12:33,752 --> 00:12:36,155
Kyle sort of go through
what he has to go through
289
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:37,456
and he'll come around.
290
00:12:37,523 --> 00:12:41,861
>> Summer: I don't think I can
talk myself out of this one.
291
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:45,431
>> Phyllis: God, I-- I feel
horrible that this is
292
00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:48,033
happening to you. I-- I--
I feel like I'm kind of
293
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:50,936
responsible for this.
294
00:12:51,003 --> 00:12:52,972
>> Summer: Well, yeah.
295
00:12:53,038 --> 00:12:55,975
You absolutely are.
296
00:12:58,410 --> 00:13:01,247
>> Diane: Your father wanted
to discuss the landscape that
297
00:13:01,313 --> 00:13:03,415
Ashley and Tucker are creating.
298
00:13:03,482 --> 00:13:06,118
>> Jack: Yes, we're discussing
the family company.
299
00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:09,155
Clearly, not a concern of yours
as you refused my offer
300
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:10,789
to have you stay on at Jabot.
301
00:13:10,856 --> 00:13:12,625
>> Kyle: And I was co-CEO once.
302
00:13:12,691 --> 00:13:16,428
Ran Marchetti. I had a seat
at the table making decisions,
303
00:13:16,495 --> 00:13:18,631
and then you choose Summer
and expect me be okay
304
00:13:18,697 --> 00:13:19,765
with scraps?
305
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:21,700
>> Jack: You chose to chart
your own course. I am trying
306
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:22,601
to respect that.
307
00:13:22,668 --> 00:13:23,936
You can't have it both ways.
308
00:13:24,003 --> 00:13:25,771
>> Kyle: Is that
the new motto?
309
00:13:25,838 --> 00:13:27,540
Family, you're either in
or you're out?
310
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:28,307
Is that right?
311
00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:29,441
>> Diane: No, Jack.
312
00:13:29,508 --> 00:13:31,310
>> Traci: Let's just take
a moment and everybody just--
313
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:32,478
just step back.

00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,647
>> Billy: I don't see the big
deal, okay? Better or worse,
315
00:13:34,713 --> 00:13:35,748
we're family here. Let him stay.
316
00:13:35,814 --> 00:13:37,950

talk about this?
317
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:39,185
>> Kyle: No, no, no, no, no.
318
00:13:39,251 --> 00:13:41,687
The great and all-knowing
Jack Abbott has spoken.

Let his will be done.

any choice! Sweetheart,

Look, your place is here
with all of us. It is.
326
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:56,402
Please, just stay.

you're here.

learned his lesson by now.
345
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,769
>> Victoria: Well, there is
a crazy sort of logic to it,
346
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:05,471
I suppose.
347
00:15:05,537 --> 00:15:08,073
>> Nick: Said the sister who
couldn't wait to get rid of me.
348
00:15:08,140 --> 00:15:09,742
>> Victoria: Oh, come on.
349
00:15:09,808 --> 00:15:12,144
That's not true. You know
how much I love you.
350
00:15:12,211 --> 00:15:13,479
>> Nick: Then talk to me.
351
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:17,516
I mean... [ sighing ]
You wanted me out of here,
352
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:18,517
so you made it happen.
353
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,519
You can't even be honest
about it. Why?
354
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,588
>> Victoria: I'm just trying
to give you time to deal
355
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:23,589
with your personal life.
356
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:25,658
Stop trying to make me
feel guilty.
357
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:27,793
>> Nick: What did it have
to be Nate? Why didn't you
358
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:28,994
replace me with him?
359
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:30,929
>> Victoria: He's more in line
with the way that I work now.
360
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:32,064
>> Nick: Oh, ruthless?
361
00:15:32,131 --> 00:15:33,265
>> Victoria: Admit it.
362
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:37,069
You've never had the stomach
for that.
363
00:15:37,136 --> 00:15:39,338
>> Nick: Who's gonna be the
voice of reason for you now?
364
00:15:39,405 --> 00:15:41,240
>> Victoria: I don't need one.
365
00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:42,541
I'm in a good place.
366
00:15:42,608 --> 00:15:44,543
The company's in a good place.
367
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:47,246
Look, if you wanna put your
abilities to good use,
368
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:50,616
then maybe you should go work
with Adam. If anyone could
369
00:15:50,683 --> 00:15:56,755
use a voice of reason,
it's definitely our brother.
370
00:15:56,822 --> 00:16:01,160
>> Phyllis: I made so many
mistakes. I put you through
371
00:16:01,226 --> 00:16:04,496
so much, Summer. I'm so sorry.
372
00:16:04,563 --> 00:16:08,067
I--
I didn't even realize that
373
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:09,435
you still needed me.
374
00:16:09,501 --> 00:16:13,038
>> Summer: Look, Daniel and I
shut you out and I--
375
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:15,607
I know how much that hurt you.
376
00:16:15,674 --> 00:16:20,412
>> Phyllis: I know, but look
what I put you through. I--
377
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:22,281
Listen, I'm gonna work this out.
378
00:16:22,348 --> 00:16:25,184
I'm gonna find a way to work
this out for you--
379
00:16:25,250 --> 00:16:26,318
>> Summer: No, Mom.
380
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:28,454
I don't want you to get anymore
involved in my marriage
381
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,488
than you already are.
382
00:16:29,555 --> 00:16:31,056
>> Phyllis: No, no. Listen,
listen. I'm gonna talk
383
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:32,691
to Kyle--
>> Summer: No, please!
384
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,526
>> Phyllis: I'm gonna get him--
>> Summer: No.
385
00:16:34,593 --> 00:16:37,429
Look.
386
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:42,000
I know your intentions are good
and I really appreciate that,
387
00:16:42,067 --> 00:16:44,937
but this is just something
that I need to work out
388
00:16:45,003 --> 00:16:48,741
on my own, okay?
389
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:51,777
Uh, Michael said that you
might be ready to stop living
390
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,412
on the lam?
391
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:55,280
>> Phyllis: Uh...
392
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:56,648
yeah, yeah.
393
00:16:56,715 --> 00:17:01,820
He's gonna try and find Carson
so I can come back to town
394
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:03,756
and make everything up
to everyone.
395
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,924
>> Summer: I've been saying
that we should find Carson
396
00:17:05,991 --> 00:17:07,259
and you shot me down. I mean.
397
00:17:07,326 --> 00:17:08,894
what-- what's changed?
398
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:10,396
>> Phyllis: Oh, I don't know.
399
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,965
Maybe he knows a little more
than we thought.
400
00:17:13,031 --> 00:17:15,067
>> Summer: Why would you
think that?
401
00:17:15,134 --> 00:17:15,968
>> Phyllis: I don't know.
402
00:17:16,034 --> 00:17:16,869
Michael's gonna find him.
403
00:17:16,935 --> 00:17:19,071
Listen, you just worry about
Kyle, okay?
404
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:21,340
>> Summer: I told you, Mom,
it might be too late for
405
00:17:21,407 --> 00:17:22,040
me and Kyle.
406
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:24,243
>> Phyllis: Nope, nope. No.
407
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:26,378
It's never too late for love.
408
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:28,347
Never.
409
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:30,649
Love always finds a way.
410
00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:42,728
>> Audra: Yeah, we can--
we can look into that.
411
00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:46,498
You know, maybe it's time
you broke away from the family.
412
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:47,699
The family business.
413
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:50,068
You know, grab some freedom.
414
00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:53,605
It's so much easier and cleaner
when you go after what you want
415
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:54,973
when you want it.
416
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,711
And to hell with expectations.
417
00:17:59,778 --> 00:18:01,447
>> Kyle: It's quite an offer.
418
00:18:01,513 --> 00:18:03,682
I'm intrigued.
419
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:09,087
Newman Media is going places,
that's for sure.
420
00:18:09,154 --> 00:18:11,190
But, uh...
421
00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:13,992
it's not really a decision
I can make in the spur
422
00:18:14,059 --> 00:18:17,763
of the moment.
423
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:20,466
>> Audra: Hm.
424
00:18:20,532 --> 00:18:24,436
It'd be a lot more palatable
than working with your
425
00:18:24,503 --> 00:18:27,673
estranged wife.
426
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:30,576
Yeah, no, I'm excited about
the possibilities.
427
00:18:30,642 --> 00:18:34,446
Uh, let me run it by my partner
and see what he has to say.
428
00:18:34,513 --> 00:18:37,449
Oh, yeah. I'm looking forward
to growing a relationship
429
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:38,784
as well.
430
00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:41,787
Yeah, let's stay in touch.
431
00:18:41,854 --> 00:18:45,757
>> Kyle: This partner,
anyone I know?
432
00:18:45,824 --> 00:18:47,693
>> Audra: Possibly.
433
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:53,532
About 6'2", eyes I can drown in
and kisses that can put
434
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:55,667
the curl back in my hair.
435
00:18:55,734 --> 00:18:58,670
>> Kyle: It's kind of bold
of you to assume, isn't it?
436
00:18:58,737 --> 00:19:01,907
>> Audra: That you're dying
to come work with me.
437
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:05,711
Um, I'm just manifesting
our future.
438
00:19:05,777 --> 00:19:09,214
>> Kyle: Hm. Well, let's talk
about my future.
439
00:19:09,281 --> 00:19:11,016
Your job offer.
440
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:14,086
I'm interested.
441
00:19:14,152 --> 00:19:15,754
>> Audra: See?
442
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:16,822
It pays to be bold.
443
00:19:27,466 --> 00:19:29,468
>>The Young and the Restless
will continue
444
00:19:47,986 --> 00:19:49,688
>> Traci: I know that you're
upset with Ashley.
445
00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:50,923
>> Diane: But you can't
take it out on Kyle.
446
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:52,891
>> Jack: He is old enough
to face the consequences
447
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:54,092
of his actions!
448
00:19:54,159 --> 00:19:55,827
>> Diane: He's hurting because
of what happened with Summer.
449
00:19:55,894 --> 00:19:57,930
>> Jack: Yes, and this house
is whole lot sadder without
450
00:19:57,996 --> 00:19:59,498
her here. He chose this course.
451
00:19:59,565 --> 00:20:01,199
We need to focus on Jabot.
452
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:04,836
>> Billy: Pivoting to business,
yeah? I suggest that we bump
453
00:20:04,903 --> 00:20:06,872
up the release of the teenage
fragrance line.
454
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:08,941
Marketing is ready to go,
puts emphasis on what we
455
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:10,042
actually do as a company.
456
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:11,944
>> Traci: Do you really think
that Ashley is that big
457
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:13,946
a threat right out of
the gate? I mean, aren't they
458
00:20:14,012 --> 00:20:15,614
gonna need months to get
this off the ground?
459
00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:17,583
>> Jack: We don't know if
they're building this from
460
00:20:17,649 --> 00:20:18,951
the ground up or if they
bought a company that's ready
461
00:20:19,017 --> 00:20:19,918
to market her products.
462
00:20:19,985 --> 00:20:21,720
She hasn't told us and
I probably don't have to
463
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:24,323
remind you, the last time
she split from Jabot, she
464
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:26,458
took her patents
and left us scrambling.
465
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:28,327
>> Billy: And this is assuming
Tucker's behind this.
466
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:30,262
>> Jack: Oh, he has somehow
seduced her into turning
467
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:31,997
her back on us and make
no mistake,
468
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,966
his end game is Jabot.
469
00:20:34,032 --> 00:20:35,734
>> Diane: Then they're both
out of their minds.
470
00:20:35,801 --> 00:20:37,502
>> Billy: Okay, we don't have
to worry about them.
471
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:40,205
They can't do anything
to hurt Jabot. They'll have
472
00:20:40,272 --> 00:20:40,973
fun for a couple months,
they'll get bored and then
473
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:41,873
they'll be over it.
474
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:44,977
>> Jack: I wish I could be
that nonchalant.
475
00:20:45,043 --> 00:20:47,279
>> Traci: And I didn't ever
think I would ever live to see
476
00:20:47,346 --> 00:20:49,181
the day that Billy is the
calm and rational one.
477
00:20:49,247 --> 00:20:49,848
No offense, honey.
478
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:50,949
>> Billy: None taken.
479
00:20:51,016 --> 00:20:52,684
>> Jack: We can't just wait
and see what Ashley does.
480
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:54,686
We have to act. Now.
481
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:57,990
I suggest we see to it
that our sister is removed from
482
00:20:58,056 --> 00:21:00,125
the Jabot board immediately.
483
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:02,928
Who's with me?
484
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:11,436
>> Kyle: You like this,
don't you?
485
00:21:11,503 --> 00:21:13,305
Tempting me.
486
00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:14,873
>> Audra: Oh, you like it too.
487
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,541
You want more.
488
00:21:16,608 --> 00:21:18,644
>> Kyle: Hm, I do.
489
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:20,946
>> Audra: You can have all
you want, Kyle.
490
00:21:21,013 --> 00:21:23,115
You know, I think we'll work
well together.
491
00:21:23,181 --> 00:21:25,150
>> Kyle: How do you know that?
492
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:27,019
>> Audra: Intuition.
493
00:21:27,085 --> 00:21:29,588
You know, we have so much
that we could teach each other,
494
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:31,690
you know?
495
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:34,192
And, uh, Newman Media needs us.
496
00:21:34,259 --> 00:21:36,928
>> Kyle: Could be dangerous,
mixing business and pleasure,
497
00:21:36,995 --> 00:21:39,698
don't you think?
498
00:21:39,765 --> 00:21:43,035
>> Audra: You know that feeling
you get right under your skin
499
00:21:43,101 --> 00:21:44,002
when we're together?
500
00:21:44,069 --> 00:21:45,771
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
501
00:21:45,837 --> 00:21:49,307
>> Audra: Imagine if you could
infuse that electricity
502
00:21:49,374 --> 00:21:51,743
and energy into our company.
503
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,979
>> Kyle: That sounds like
we'd be spending a lot of time
504
00:21:54,046 --> 00:21:54,946
with the doors locked.
505
00:21:55,013 --> 00:22:00,152
You know, putting our
heads together.
506
00:22:00,218 --> 00:22:02,254
>> Audra: Tell me what
you want, Kyle.
507
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,657
Just say the words and
it's yours.
508
00:22:05,724 --> 00:22:07,459
>> Kyle: Newman Media.
509
00:22:07,526 --> 00:22:09,061
>> Audra: Mm.
510
00:22:09,127 --> 00:22:12,364
Music to my ears.
511
00:22:12,431 --> 00:22:14,099
How soon can you start?
512
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:15,701
>> Kyle: Oh, no.
513
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:19,504
She thought this was gonna
be easy. No, I'm gonna make
514
00:22:19,571 --> 00:22:21,640
you work for it.
515
00:22:21,707 --> 00:22:27,946
I may take my time,
make you wait.
516
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:31,883
Watch you lose all your chill.
517
00:22:31,950 --> 00:22:33,785
>> Audra: You wouldn't.
518
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:38,123
>> Kyle: No?
519
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:41,993
>> Audra: You know, we should
have a rule: no looking at me
520
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:45,097
that way when we're in
a public place.
521
00:22:45,163 --> 00:22:47,299
>> Kyle: What is that?
522
00:22:47,365 --> 00:22:51,536
>> Audra: Like you wanna take
me upstairs and finish what
523
00:22:51,603 --> 00:22:52,604
you're starting.
524
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:54,673
>> Kyle: Mm. Can't do that.
525
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:56,374
>> Audra: Now that--
that would be bad.
526
00:22:56,441 --> 00:22:57,342
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
527
00:22:57,409 --> 00:23:01,079
>> Audra: I have a company
to run and you, uh--
528
00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:07,385
You know, it would be so much
better if we run it together.
529
00:23:07,452 --> 00:23:10,422
>> Kyle: Okay. What's
the pay like?
530
00:23:10,489 --> 00:23:12,691
>> Audra: Negotiable.
531
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:15,627
>> Kyle: I have demands.
532
00:23:15,694 --> 00:23:18,897
>> Audra: You silver spoon
in the mouth types are just
533
00:23:18,964 --> 00:23:23,401
used to having it
your way, right?
534
00:23:23,468 --> 00:23:25,637
Tell me.
535
00:23:25,704 --> 00:23:27,906
How do I make you mine?
536
00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:34,846
>> Sharon: I know that you
would do anything to make
537
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:38,683
Adam happy,
including risking the happiness
538
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:42,487
of your other children,
but here's my question:
539
00:23:42,554 --> 00:23:45,557
Moving Nick to McCall,
is that to save Adam
540
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:48,126
or is that for
your own benefit?
541
00:23:48,193 --> 00:23:50,328
Hoping that the boys would have
some kind of sibling
542
00:23:50,395 --> 00:23:51,997
breakthrough working together?
543
00:23:52,063 --> 00:23:54,933
>> Victor: What makes you think
I can't achieve both things
544
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,701
at once?
545
00:23:56,768 --> 00:23:59,471
>> Sharon: That's an
admirable goal. Nick can
546
00:23:59,538 --> 00:24:02,607
balance things out, as long
as Adam doesn't feel resentful
547
00:24:02,674 --> 00:24:06,144
for the interference and
add fuel to the fire.
548
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:08,346
>> Victor: Nick can
handle himself.
549
00:24:08,413 --> 00:24:09,414
>> Sharon: That's true.
550
00:24:09,481 --> 00:24:12,651
But is it fair to put Nick
in that position? Where an
551
00:24:12,717 --> 00:24:16,388
already tense relationship
could be made worse?
552
00:24:16,454 --> 00:24:18,423
>> Victor: You have
another solution?
553
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:20,292
>> Sharon: Hm... I don't know.
554
00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:22,360
Maybe. I might.
555
00:24:31,002 --> 00:24:31,937
>> Nick: I know I upset you
earlier when I was talking
556
00:24:32,003 --> 00:24:34,840
about working with Adam.
557
00:24:34,906 --> 00:24:37,209
>> Sally: You should be able
to talk about Adam whenever
558
00:24:37,275 --> 00:24:41,279
you want. So, I promise
I will try and make space
559
00:24:41,346 --> 00:24:43,381
for that.
560
00:24:43,448 --> 00:24:48,553
>> Nick: Good because I could
really use your advice.
561
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:49,120
[ Nick sighing ]
>> Sharon: Good, you got
562
00:24:55,861 --> 00:24:56,728
my message.
563
00:24:56,795 --> 00:24:58,697
>> Adam: Yeah. You said
I forgot something?
564
00:24:58,763 --> 00:25:00,565
>> Sharon: Your manners.
565
00:25:00,632 --> 00:25:03,335
You didn't say goodbye.
566
00:25:03,401 --> 00:25:07,939
>> Adam: Uh, sorry. I--
I have a new company to run.
567
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:10,308
>> Sharon: Yeah, so do I.
568
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:12,944
Exciting, isn't it?
569
00:25:13,011 --> 00:25:15,413
Putting all the right
ingredients together.
570
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:22,053
Figuring out what works,
what gives us the best outcome.
571
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,823
>> Adam: Wh-- what company
are you talking about?
572
00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:27,392
>> Sharon: Kirsten Incorporated.
573
00:25:27,459 --> 00:25:30,495
Cameron left it to me
in his will.
574
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:40,272
So now, as a new business owner,
I have a proposition for you.
575
00:25:40,338 --> 00:25:42,340
>> Tucker: Looking a gift
horse in the mouth is
576
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:43,508
considered bad form.
577
00:25:43,575 --> 00:25:46,378
>> Ashley: I very much like
my wedding gift. It was very
578
00:25:46,444 --> 00:25:47,479
thoughtful of you, actually.
579
00:25:47,545 --> 00:25:49,881
>> Tucker: This is--
this is the guy that can keep
580
00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:50,949
Phyllis out of prison.
581
00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:52,951
>> Ashley: I know, listen,
I realize that I'm the one
582
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:54,686
that said that Phyllis is
the answer to our--
583
00:25:54,753 --> 00:25:57,188
our Diane problem, but she
could be creating a whole new
584
00:25:57,255 --> 00:25:59,324
Phyllis problem. I'm not sure
we should get her involved.
585
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:01,493
>> Tucker: Well, she won't
be involved, per se.
586
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:02,827
She's just a...
587
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:05,497
She's like a battering ram.
588
00:26:05,563 --> 00:26:07,299
You just gotta wind her up
and point her in
589
00:26:07,365 --> 00:26:08,400
Diane's direction.
590
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:10,135
>> Ashley: Problem is she
doesn't have an off switch.
591
00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:12,170
If she goes rogue,
bad things happen.
592
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:15,407
The last time she went rogue,
Jeremy Stark ended up
593
00:26:15,473 --> 00:26:16,274
threatening my family.
594
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:17,342
It wasn't good.
595
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:20,612
>> Tucker: Well, look at it
this way. Phyllis is an
596
00:26:20,679 --> 00:26:24,316
apex predator and now that
Stark is dead, Phyllis is
597
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:25,417
the top of the food chain.
598
00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:27,285
>> Ashley: Yeah, she doesn't
know how to stop.
599
00:26:27,352 --> 00:26:28,620
She never does.
600
00:26:28,687 --> 00:26:31,923
>> Tucker: Well, how much harm
can one person do, really?
601
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:34,559
And plus, she's there for
reinforcement. She's an added
602
00:26:34,626 --> 00:26:36,027
level of attack.
603
00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:37,996
>> Ashley: It's very risky.
604
00:26:38,063 --> 00:26:40,899
>> Tucker: But you like risk,
don't you?
605
00:26:40,966 --> 00:26:41,967
>> Ashley: I do.
606
00:26:42,033 --> 00:26:43,568
I like it a lot, actually.
607
00:26:43,635 --> 00:26:45,203
When it comes to business.
608
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:45,937
Not so much Diane
and definitely not where
609
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:47,172
Phyllis is concerned.
610
00:26:47,238 --> 00:26:49,441
>> Tucker: Okay.
611
00:26:49,507 --> 00:26:52,944
How about we not point her
in Diane's direction?
612
00:26:53,011 --> 00:26:54,813
We point her at Jack's?
613
00:26:57,215 --> 00:27:00,085
>> Kyle: I'll need you
to be flexible. I mean,
614
00:27:00,151 --> 00:27:02,854
what I need in a partner
may change moment to moment.
615
00:27:02,921 --> 00:27:06,157
>> Audra: Done. What else
can I do to make this
616
00:27:06,224 --> 00:27:08,293
transition smooth?
617
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,894
>> Kyle: It'll take a lot
to get me to put Jabot in
618
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:11,930
the rear view.
619
00:27:11,997 --> 00:27:14,432
>> Audra: Well, I promise
to make you forget
620
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:19,104
and give you something to...
621
00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:20,505
>> Summer: Hi.
622
00:27:20,572 --> 00:27:21,873
I'm glad that I found you.
623
00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:23,975
Unless I'm
interrupting something.
624
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,211
>> Audra: Uh, no, not at all.
625
00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:29,681
I was actually just on my way
to the office.
626
00:27:29,748 --> 00:27:31,750
It's good to see you, Summer.
627
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:33,218
>> Summer: You too.
628
00:27:33,284 --> 00:27:36,254
>> Audra: Oh, Kyle, uh,
we'll be in touch about that
629
00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:37,756
other matter.
630
00:27:37,822 --> 00:27:39,224
>> Kyle: Counting on it.
631
00:27:39,290 --> 00:27:41,459
>> Audra: Ta.
632
00:27:41,526 --> 00:27:43,361
>> Summer: Ta.
633
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:57,008
>> Billy: I'm sorry, Jack.
634
00:27:57,075 --> 00:27:59,277
You wanna remove Ashley from
the board of directors?
635
00:27:59,344 --> 00:28:01,279
>> Traci: I can't believe
you're even suggesting that.
636
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:03,715
>> Jack: I don't see how she
can possibly stay. She has
637
00:28:03,782 --> 00:28:06,684
just created a company in
direct competition with Jabot
638
00:28:06,751 --> 00:28:09,687
and there is a chance she could
take her patents and run.
639
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:12,023
>> Billy: We don't know if
she can do that or if that's
640
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:13,091
her intention.
641
00:28:13,158 --> 00:28:14,859
>> Traci: We didn't oust her
when she started her own
642
00:28:14,926 --> 00:28:15,894
company in Paris.
643
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,328
>> Jack: She didn't have
Tucker dripping poison in
644
00:28:17,395 --> 00:28:19,164
her ear at the time.
645
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:20,965
>> Traci: No, I am so sorry.
646
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:24,836
Daddy wanted us all to have
seats on the board for a reason.
647
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:28,206
I'm with Billy. Ashley stays.
648
00:28:28,273 --> 00:28:29,774
>> Billy: It's our
decision, Jack.
649
00:28:29,841 --> 00:28:31,776
[ Jack sighing ]
Diane, you're practically
650
00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:35,080
family. I assume that you're
gonna stand with your fiance?
651
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:36,381
Go with Jack?
652
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,349
>> Diane: Actually.
653
00:28:38,416 --> 00:28:39,784
>> Jack: Wait, actually what?
654
00:28:39,851 --> 00:28:41,986
>> Diane: Well, we already
talked about this.
655
00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:46,591
Ashley and Tucker can only
hurt us if we let them.
656
00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:49,427
>> Traci: And that is how those
of us on the high road get
657
00:28:49,494 --> 00:28:52,864
the majority, which is
as it should be.
658
00:28:52,931 --> 00:28:55,834
Jack, please don't make
this worse. Hasn't this
659
00:28:55,900 --> 00:29:00,205
blood feud gone on long enough?
660
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,343
>> Tucker: Imagine what Diane's
reaction would be if Phyllis
661
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,045
could get Jack to forgive her?
662
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:10,148
>> Ashley: Yeah, but Phyllis,
she's just too unpredictable.
663
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:12,684
I mean, she has no censor
at all. I mean, she basically
664
00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:15,053
despises and
distrusts everybody.
665
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,122
>> Tucker: Those are all
positive qualities when it comes
666
00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:18,556
to using her.
667
00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:21,960
How is she the wrong person
for this job?
668
00:29:22,026 --> 00:29:24,195
Are you just afraid that
the other side is
669
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:25,029
gonna retaliate?
670
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:26,898
>> Ashley: Well, they will.
671
00:29:26,965 --> 00:29:30,568
Jack is never going to forgive
Phyllis. She put Diane in jail.
672
00:29:30,635 --> 00:29:31,636
>> Tucker: I don't know.
673
00:29:31,703 --> 00:29:35,573
I just-- I trust Phyllis
to find a way.
674
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,277
And Phyllis' freedom--
Actually, her very existence is
675
00:29:39,344 --> 00:29:42,380
an affront to Diane.
676
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:45,850
And she can get Diane off
her game in ways that we never
677
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:47,619
could, so.
678
00:29:47,685 --> 00:29:50,588
>> Ashley: Okay, look, if we
decide to do this, you promise
679
00:29:50,655 --> 00:29:52,924
me that Phyllis isn't going
to get arrested, she's not
680
00:29:52,991 --> 00:29:56,127
going to go into hiding,
she's not gonna get dead again.
681
00:29:56,194 --> 00:30:01,366
>> Tucker: Nobody gets dead
in this one.
682
00:30:01,432 --> 00:30:03,535
>> Ashley: You think it's gonna
work? This Operation Get Rid
683
00:30:03,601 --> 00:30:04,702
of Diane?
684
00:30:04,769 --> 00:30:07,805
>> Tucker: Just need the right
players. And a yes from you.
685
00:30:07,872 --> 00:30:11,009
You know I love to hear
you say it.
686
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:13,878
Say it. Tell me to find
this Carson guy.
687
00:30:13,945 --> 00:30:15,046
>> Ashley: Okay.
688
00:30:15,113 --> 00:30:15,747
>> Tucker: Okay.
689
00:30:15,813 --> 00:30:16,848
>> Ashley: Let's do it.
690
00:30:16,915 --> 00:30:20,418
Let's get rid of Diane
once and for all.
691
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:21,853
Yes.
692
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:27,692
Yes, yes, yes.
693
00:30:34,132 --> 00:30:35,567
>> Phyllis: Hi.
694
00:30:35,633 --> 00:30:38,903
>> Michael: Oh--
We have got to stop meeting
695
00:30:38,970 --> 00:30:39,971
like this.
696
00:30:40,038 --> 00:30:41,706
No, I mean it.
697
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:44,042
Because if we don't,
you're gonna get locked up.
698
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:47,011
I mean, some internet detective
with a drone up there
699
00:30:47,078 --> 00:30:49,314
or a police officer out on
a stroll and your life on
700
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:50,982
the run comes to
a screeching halt!
701
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:52,050
>> Phyllis: Okay, listen to me.
702
00:30:52,116 --> 00:30:52,850
Listen to me.
703
00:30:52,917 --> 00:30:53,651
>> Michael: What?
704
00:30:53,718 --> 00:30:55,186
>> Phyllis: I'm running out
of time.
705
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:57,655
Summer's whole life is
imploding. Her entire marriage
706
00:30:57,722 --> 00:31:00,225
is falling apart, okay?
707
00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:02,994
I mean, I guess I could turn
myself in, but I would never
708
00:31:03,061 --> 00:31:04,028
see daylight again.
709
00:31:04,095 --> 00:31:06,397
I have to help my daughter.
710
00:31:06,464 --> 00:31:07,498
I have to.
711
00:31:07,565 --> 00:31:09,567
At least, I have to try.
712
00:31:09,634 --> 00:31:12,070
>> Michael: Because of your
track records
713
00:31:12,136 --> 00:31:13,137
with relationships before?
714
00:31:13,204 --> 00:31:14,072
I mean...
715
00:31:14,138 --> 00:31:15,640
>> Phyllis: I need your support.
716
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:20,111
Michael, seriously. I need you.
717
00:31:20,178 --> 00:31:22,547
My daughter thinks that
I'm to blame for her marriage
718
00:31:22,614 --> 00:31:25,183
falling apart.
719
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,952
>> Michael: All right, I hate
to have to break this to you,
720
00:31:28,019 --> 00:31:31,656
but this might require more
work and determination than
721
00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:35,526
even you possess, my friend.
722
00:31:35,593 --> 00:31:38,630
>> Phyllis: I have to give it
a try. I have to.
723
00:31:38,696 --> 00:31:43,001
I mean, I can't have my daughter
worried that I'm going to jail
724
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:45,436
and worried that she's gonna
lose her husband at
725
00:31:45,503 --> 00:31:48,773
the same time. I can't.
726
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,041
>> Michael: All right.
727
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:52,510
I shouldn't raise your
hopes, but--
728
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:54,212
>> Phyllis: You gotta give
me something. You do.
729
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:55,847
>> Michael: Listen to me,
listen to me.
730
00:31:55,913 --> 00:31:58,149
>> Phyllis: You gotta give me
something. Did you find Carson?
731
00:31:58,216 --> 00:31:59,384
>> Michael: We are so close.
732
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:05,423
If you could just hang on,
just a little longer.
733
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:07,759
>> Summer: Could I ask what
you and Audra were
734
00:32:07,825 --> 00:32:11,763
talking about?
735
00:32:11,829 --> 00:32:17,268
>> Kyle: She wants me to come
work at Newman Media.
736
00:32:17,335 --> 00:32:20,038
Say it. Whatever it is.
737
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:21,606
>> Summer: Didn't waste
a minute.
738
00:32:21,673 --> 00:32:23,107
>> Kyle: Who?
739
00:32:23,174 --> 00:32:25,109
Me or Audra?
740
00:32:25,176 --> 00:32:29,013
My job as CEO of Marchetti
was sacrificed for you.
741
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,482
>> Summer: I'm the one that
got the job at Marchetti
742
00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:35,586
after the woman you had
an affair and baby with
743
00:32:35,653 --> 00:32:36,988
threatened me.
744
00:32:37,055 --> 00:32:42,193
I left my home to protect
your relationship with Harrison.
745
00:32:42,260 --> 00:32:45,430
And-- and you followed me
to Milan after I begged you
746
00:32:45,496 --> 00:32:47,899
not to. Do you remember that?
747
00:32:47,965 --> 00:32:51,903
[ Summer sighing ]
After I told you that we would
748
00:32:51,969 --> 00:32:56,274
never work together,
that we didn't belong together,
749
00:32:56,341 --> 00:32:59,377
you ignored me because
you knew that deep in your
750
00:32:59,444 --> 00:33:00,111
heart that we did.
751
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:01,179
>> Kyle: No, no, no.
752
00:33:01,245 --> 00:33:03,548
Okay, okay, I'm not--
I'm not doing this. Not here.
753
00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:04,449
>> Summer: You know what?
754
00:33:04,515 --> 00:33:05,616
Fine. Fine.
755
00:33:05,683 --> 00:33:07,652
Fine.
756
00:33:07,719 --> 00:33:13,925
I'm gonna let you figure out
where you belong now.
757
00:33:13,991 --> 00:33:18,196
I-- I just want to remind you
that Audra is my brother's ex.
758
00:33:18,262 --> 00:33:20,431
And he doesn't trust her.
759
00:33:20,498 --> 00:33:23,334
She doesn't seem--
I don't know, sketchy to you?
760
00:33:23,401 --> 00:33:26,104
Like she's up to something?
761
00:33:26,170 --> 00:33:28,639
>> Kyle: Maybe I do have
a type after all.
762
00:33:28,706 --> 00:33:32,143
[ Summer exhaling ]
>> Summer: You just want
763
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:35,012
to hurt me and that's fine,
I get it, but I'm just
764
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:37,014
trying to--
>> Kyle: I don't-- I don't
765
00:33:37,081 --> 00:33:38,549
need anything from you, Summer.
766
00:33:38,616 --> 00:33:41,018
I wish you the best with
your choices because I'm doing
767
00:33:41,085 --> 00:33:43,755
just fine with mine.
768
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:51,062
>> Sally: So, I'm assuming
this dilemma has something
769
00:33:51,129 --> 00:33:54,665
to do with Victor asking you
to join Adam at McCall.
770
00:33:54,732 --> 00:33:56,434
>> Nick: Yeah.
771
00:33:56,501 --> 00:33:58,002
>> Sally: Okay.
772
00:33:58,069 --> 00:34:00,338
So, what would it look
like if you did not go back
773
00:34:00,405 --> 00:34:01,472
to Newman?
774
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:04,175
>> Nick: Well, Vic would be
overjoyed. She wants someone
775
00:34:04,242 --> 00:34:06,043
who's more in line with
her priorities.
776
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:08,746
>> Sally: Someone who brings
out her vicious side?
777
00:34:08,813 --> 00:34:11,249
>> Nick: Yeah, that is
definitely not me.
778
00:34:11,315 --> 00:34:15,052
>> Sally: And what happens
if you take door #2?
779
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:18,589
>> Nick: If I went to McCall,
I would just be a pawn in
780
00:34:18,656 --> 00:34:21,292
another one of Dad's games.
781
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:24,796
But, if I'm being honest,
it might be the best place
782
00:34:24,862 --> 00:34:27,732
for me right now, and if
I did it, I wouldn't be doing
783
00:34:27,799 --> 00:34:29,367
it for Dad.
784
00:34:29,434 --> 00:34:32,003
>> Sally: Why then?
785
00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:35,506
>> Nick: I mean, you've seen
Adam. He's got no one to talk
786
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:38,776
to about what he's gone through
and he's just gonna try and
787
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:43,281
bury himself in his work
and that will never work.
788
00:34:43,347 --> 00:34:45,783
Then, he's gonna turn into
the old Adam again and then
789
00:34:45,850 --> 00:34:47,585
none of us is safe.
790
00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:49,720
>> Sally: Wow.
791
00:34:49,787 --> 00:34:52,690
That was unexpected.
792
00:34:52,757 --> 00:34:54,392
>> Nick: What?
793
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:57,228
>> Sally: You really care
about your brother.
794
00:34:57,295 --> 00:35:02,667
Maybe more than you've ever
admitted to yourself.
795
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:05,203
>> Sharon: You should see
the condition Cameron left
796
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:06,537
his company in.
797
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:10,408
It's a mess, but it's my mess.
798
00:35:10,475 --> 00:35:14,579
To be honest, it's something
that I never thought I wanted,
799
00:35:14,645 --> 00:35:19,517
but it's funny how life throws
you a challenge, something
800
00:35:19,584 --> 00:35:26,924
you didn't expect, and you
just figure it out.
801
00:35:26,991 --> 00:35:30,228
>> Adam: Are-- are you
proposing that I buy this
802
00:35:30,294 --> 00:35:31,295
company from you?
803
00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:32,997
>> Sharon: No, no.
804
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:37,902
Not at all. I have the perfect
recipe for success.
805
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:42,473
We merge. We put it all
together and turn it into
806
00:35:42,540 --> 00:35:44,909
one powerhouse company.
807
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:48,579
We do this thing together.
808
00:36:53,077 --> 00:36:55,079
Join us again for
"The Young and the Restless."
