[ Audra sighing ] >> Audra: Remind me again
why we ever stopped doing this? >> Kyle: 'Cause you fired me.
>> Audra: Oh. That. Have you forgiven me yet?
[ Kyle chuckling ] I have a proposition for you.
>> Kyle: Oh, I hope it's as good as the last one.
>> Audra: I am changing the subject now.
>> Kyle: Okay. All right. I'm listening.
>> Audra: It'll be risky. >> Kyle: Oh. I can do risky.
>> Audra: And your first instinct will probably be
to say no, but I want you to hear me out.
>> Kyle: Mm. >> Audra: Can you do that?
[ lock rattling ] >> Billy: Hey.
>> Jack: Hey. >> Billy: Got here
as soon as I could. Where's Diane?
>> Jack: She and Traci are out for the night.
I want to fill you in before they get back.
>> Billy: Fill me in on what? >> Jack: Tucker's wedding gift.
It appears the bonsai tree had a special added attraction.
A listening device. >> Billy: Are you kidding me?
I mean, what am I thinking? Of course, he planted
a listening device in a wedding gift.
>> Jack: Yep. >> Billy: Where is it?
>> Jack: It's in the study. Door's closed, it can't hear us.
>> Billy: Well, you were right about him.
>> Jack: Oh, yeah. He's still coming after us.
All those mea culpas added up to just what I thought. Garbage.
>> Billy: Well, I give him points for ingenuity.
A plant in a plant. >> Jack: Well, he took a page
out of Ashley's playbook years ago.
When we were at war, she planted a bug in, what did she call it?
A truce gift. >> Billy: So, she mentioned that
somewhere along the way and Tucker's eyes lit up
like it was a genius plan? Who-- who tipped you off
about this? >> Jack: Surprisingly, Phyllis.
>> Billy: Phyllis told you about it?
>> Jack: Well, she told me enough to put me
on the right track. >> Billy: Okay, well,
right there, that is enough to be suspicious.
♪♪♪
>> Phyllis: Okay. Look at this! Having dinner
like a normal family. So normal.
>> Daniel: Just wanted to celebrate your
first day at your new job. >> Phyllis: Oh, goodness! Great.
Ha! You're paying, right? Because, you know,
I'm not making the kind of money I'm used to.
>> Daniel: I know, I know, but you know,
this is all about getting a clean start.
Emphasis on the word "clean," remember?
>> Phyllis: Yes. Exactly. And I will not let you down.
>> Daniel: No. >> Phyllis: Yeah.
>> Daniel: That's all either of us could ask for.
>> Phyllis: Good. >> Summer: Okay, so tell me,
how was it? How did it go today?
>> Phyllis: Oh, um... well, I'm in the IT department,
not running the IT department, of course, but I'm in there.
>> Summer: That's a change for you.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My immediate superior,
she is a embryo, a zygote actually.
>> Daniel: Kayla is 29 and she has a masters
in computer science. >> Phyllis: Ooh! Oh wow.
A masters. Oh, my goodness.
Well, I have a lot to learn from her, don't I?
>> Daniel: Mom? >> Phyllis: My goodness!
She's a lovely, lovely, young, so very young lady.
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm. >> Phyllis: Yeah.
Listen, I-- I'm happy to be there.
I'm just having fun with you, okay?
And I was very productive today, don't you think?
>> Daniel: I was told you were on your best behavior.
>> Phyllis: Yes. And-- and like I said,
I will not let you down. >> Daniel: You know, the, uh,
trick is going to be to see if you can continue
that team spirit for longer than a day.
>> Phyllis: Right. Yes. I-- I-- I do have team spirit.
I-- I can and I will. >> Daniel: You know we're both
rooting for you here, right? >> Summer: Yeah. Exactly.
I mean, that's why we're here. We're here to celebrate
this new you, and we really appreciate
the fact that you're willing to work your way back.
I know that it's not easy for you,
but you can do it. >> Phyllis: I know I can do it.
I won't let you down like I've said so many times.
[ Phyllis laughing ] Um, listen, I-- I--
I really feel like I'm on a roll.
I really do. Um, I was able to find the money
that Stark hid and stole from me and I was able to pay back
the insurance company, and that's all good.
And then, um, I'm working with my genius son.
So, I feel really, really positive.
I feel like all the bad karma is sort of slipping away from me
and I won't-- I won't get back into my,
you know, dark ways. I-- I just feel
from here on out, it's just smooth sailing.
>> Phyllis: Okay. >> Tucker: Good evening.
Daniel. >> Daniel: Tucker.
>> Tucker: Summer. And Phyllis.
I hope you don't mind my saying you look
particularly radiant tonight. >> Phyllis: Thank you, Tucker.
>> Tucker: You're welcome. And here you are in
the bosom of your family. Positively warms the heart.
Enjoy your meal. Hey.
Single malt, please. Neat. Make it a double.
>> Summer: Okay, What is going
on between you and Tucker now? >> Phyllis: Nothing.
>> Summer: What was that? >> Phyllis: What?
>> Summer: Mom, he was glaring at you.
It was creepy. >> Phyllis: That's what he does,
you know? He makes people uncomfortable.
He likes it. It's my turn in the barrel,
I suppose. >> Summer: Uh, he's still
doing it. >> Phyllis: Okay, well,
let's ignore him. Here. Get your menu.
>> Daniel: I don't think so. >> Phyllis: Oh, Daniel, what are
you doing? What are you doing? >> Daniel: I'm just gonna go
have a little chat with him. >> Phyllis: No, no, no, no,
You are not. That's what he wants you to do.
Just ignore him. Sit down. Sit down. Daniel! Daniel!
>> Tucker: Hey, Daniel. Can I buy you a drink?
>> Daniel: Oh, no, thank you. Um, just wanna know
what's with the glare. >> Tucker: The what?
>> Daniel: The glare. Ever since my mom came in here,
you've been glaring at her. Something wrong?
>> Billy: How many times does Phyllis have to burn us
before we realize that she can't be trusted?
>> Jack: I am not arguing with that.
>> Billy: Okay, then why do you trust her now?
>> Jack: Because she's given us usable information
that's proven to be true. She said that Tucker
bought this listening device and she was right.
>> Billy: Okay, but we don't know what motivated her
to share that information, Jack. She could be working both sides
against the middle. We're talking about
Phyllis here, okay? Whoever's the highest bidder
wins her services. So, why don't you tell me
how much you paid for this? >> Jack: Nothing.
>> Billy: I'm sorry, what? >> Jack: She didn't ask
for a dime. >> Billy: Wow. You must be
a magician. First, you get Adam Newman
to share dirt on Tucker for free and now Phyllis.
>> Jack: No, in the case of Adam, I am all but certain
it was transactional. I'll do this for you if
in the future you do it for me. With Phyllis, I--
A part of me is starting to believe she realistically
wants to redeem herself. >> Billy: Well, that is
a stretch for me. >> Jack: I know who she is,
I know what she's done, I'm not disagreeing.
We need to monitor her carefully,
but I think she's getting tired of people crossing the street
when they see her. And I know she is fed up
with her kids losing their faith in her.
>> Billy: Okay, so what? She wants to be liked now?
>> Jack: Respected, and she knows she's lost that.
>> Billy: Okay, let me just remind you.
Phyllis was helping Tucker frame me
for embezzlement, okay? Again, it's Phyllis.
And now if she went to Tucker to help pay her debt,
that means Tucker holds something on her.
>> Jack: So, it's your theory that Phyllis is still working
for Tucker, that this tip of the planted device is just
another misdirection to-- to regain our trust?
>> Billy: Makes just as much sense as her suddenly
developing a conscience. >> Audra: So, how are things
between you and your father? >> Kyle: Oh, no, no, no.
What about this risky proposition?
>> Audra: We'll get to that. I was just curious if,
you know, you've made any progress convincing him
to dump Billy and put you back in charge at Jabot?
>> Kyle: It's not looking likely at this point.
>> Audra: So, Billy isn't going anywhere?
>> Kyle: Apparently not. Just when I thought my dad
had wised up and was ready to throw Billy out,
Billy somehow convinced him otherwise.
>> Audra: And where does that leave you?
>> Kyle: Nowhere. My dad offered me
some other position at Jabot, one he can't seem to pinpoint.
But it wouldn't matter even if he could,
'cause it's an absolute non-starter for me.
>> Audra: You sound angry. [ Kyle scoffing ]
>> Kyle: Hell yeah, I'm angry. I deserve the
second-in-command position. I've done it before.
I can't imagine going back to Jabot in any other position.
And my dad... seems like deep down, he feels
like I don't have what it takes. >> Audra: Well, he's wrong.
And I know it-- it stings. >> Kyle: Yeah, it doesn't feel
great when you feel like you're being pushed out
of your family. Anyway, why are
we talking about this? >> Audra: I was just curious
to know where things stood with you and your family.
>> Kyle: Why? >> Audra: Because I'm interested
in you, Kyle. Would you prefer
I don't ask you anything about your personal life?
>> Kyle: Uh, no. Don't be mad.
>> Audra: I'm not. Trust me, if I ever get mad,
you'll know it. >> Kyle: Hm.
So, you ever gonna tell me? >> Audra: Hm?
>> Kyle: This risky proposition you keep teasing me with?
>> Audra: Oh. So, I am-- I'm teasing you, am I?
>> Kyle: Heartlessly. [ Audra chuckling ]
>> Audra: Well, Kyle, you know, I've been called
many things in my life, but never a tease.
>> Kyle: Hm.
[ both sighing ] >> Audra: Mm.
Good thing we got that out of the way.
>> Kyle: Oh, I hope not. >> Audra: Mm. Don't worry.
We have all the time in the world now.
>> Kyle: I like the sound of that.
>> Audra: Me too. Now, no more sneaking around,
no more looking over my shoulder to see if Nikki approves.
>> Kyle: Mm. >> Audra: It'll be just us.
>> Kyle: That sounds really nice.
>> Audra: Mm-hmm. It does. So, are you ready?
>> Kyle: Wow. You're insatiable. >> Audra: I wasn't talking
about that. I am talking about
the proposition I was gonna offer you.
>> Kyle: Ah, that. Finally.
>> Audra: Now remember, you promised me
you wouldn't say no right away. >> Kyle: I did.
>> Audra: Okay. So...
what would you say if I told you I could offer you a position
at Jabot? >> Kyle: I would be confused.
Which I am. >> Audra: What if I could make
that happen for you, Kyle? You know, and I'm not talking
just some, you know, middle management position.
I'm talking about the job you want.
[ Kyle laughing ] >> Kyle: Okay, then I guess
I would have to ask, how you managed to pull off
that little coup because last time I checked,
my family still owns the company.
>> Audra: For now. >> Kyle: Oh, you're gonna
make a move on Jabot? >> Audra: Well, it wouldn't
just be me. But I mean, I would be
a part of it, yes. >> Kyle: Okay. All right.
Enough with the games. Where's this headed?
>> Audra: I was getting to that. >> Kyle: No, we are already
there, Audra. What are you asking me to do?
>> Audra: I want you to form an alliance
with Tucker and me. >> Tucker: No, I think you
got it wrong. >> Daniel: Sure.
>> Tucker: I wasn't glaring at her.
I was just looking at her. I was looking at
all of you actually. And, uh, I was jealous.
>> Daniel: Jealous? >> Tucker: Yeah.
Yeah, coming here and I-- and I see you all together,
you know, pulling together after everything
that's happened to you guys, and it made me think about
the situation I'm in currently, which is not at all like that.
It's a beautiful thing to see and painful.
>> Daniel: Well, we have been working on things.
>> Tucker: Yeah. I can tell. Makes me wonder if I ought to be
more forgiving of Ashley. >> Daniel: That's not
a bad idea. You could always hop on
the next flight out to Paris and, uh, go give it a try,
right? What do you think? >> Tucker: Maybe I should.
Meanwhile, may I pick up your dinner tab?
>> Daniel: No, that's-- >> Tucker: No, no. Please.
I insist. It's the least I can do.
'Cause you really have, all of you,
given me such hope. Please.
>> Daniel: I'll think about it. >> Phyllis: What did he say
to you? >> Daniel: Him? Oh, he just
wants to pay our tab. >> Phyllis: What?
>> Daniel: Yeah. Oh, and he admires how we've forgiven you.
>> Phyllis: Oh, he doesn't care about that.
>> Daniel: Obviously, he doesn't care about that.
I'm just telling you what he told me.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well... he just is playing mind games.
That's what he's doing. He's trying to play
mind games with us. Let's not let him.
But I'm happy to let him pick up the tab.
It's the least he could do. >> Summer: What does that mean?
>> Phyllis: Excuse me? >> Summer: Mom, you've been
glaring at Tucker ever since Daniel walked over there.
So, what's going on? What does Tucker owe you?
>> Phyllis: Nothing. >> Summer: Nothing?
>> Phyllis: Nothing, Summer, okay?
Honestly, would you let up on me?
I mean, not everything I do has, you know, something to do
with collusion or conspiracy. Just let it go. Just relax.
>> Phyllis: I don't owe Tucker McCall anything.
He doesn't owe me anything. We're square, okay?
Uh, I'm nothing like him. He thinks I'm like him,
but I am not at all. Is that understood?
>> Summer: Yeah. >> Phyllis: Okay, is that
understood, Daniel? >> Daniel: Maybe he was just
being generous. >> Phyllis: Oh, really?
Ha! I doubt that. Sir? >> Summer: Mom, what's the--
What are you doing? >> Phyllis: Uh-- uh,
his presence has clouded our nice family gathering.
Okay, let's go elsewhere. All right?
Can we have the check? >> Waiter: Um, Mr. McCall
has taken care of it. [ Summer sighing ]
>> Phyllis: Seriously? >> Daniel: Hm.
>> Phyllis: Let's get outta here.
>> Summer: Wait, aren't you gonna thank him?
>> Phyllis: Who? >> Summer: The guy that just
bought our dinner. Isn't that how it usually works?
>> Phyllis: I'll send him an email.
>> Summer: Mom, come on. It's the polite thing to do.
>> Daniel: Yeah, I agree. I don't see what could be
so wrong about just saying thank you.
>> Phyllis: Sure. I would like to thank you
for dinner... bottom feeder.
[ Tucker chuckling ] >> Jack: I am not saying we
should trust Phyllis completely. She has burned us many times.
>> Billy: Not just that. She's lied, cheated, and stolen
from almost everyone in town. Has no problem
sending them to jail. >> Jack: No one has forgotten
that, but we have to go back to what she's doing for us now.
I found the bug that Tucker planted because
Phyllis told me about it. >> Billy: I find it hard to
believe that she did that out of the goodness of her heart.
>> Jack: I don't care what her motivations are.
As long as it benefits us, that's what I give a damn about.
I am nowhere close to forgiving Phyllis for all
that she put Diane and Kyle and Summer through,
but I am grateful that she helped us
with this latest Tucker thing. >> Billy: I wonder what it is.
>> Jack: What? >> Billy: This hold that Tucker
has on her and whatever she's trying to do to pay him back.
It's gotta be exhausting living your life that way.
Always on guard, not being able to relax and just live
because she knows that those lies are gonna
catch up with her. They always do.
>> Kyle: Why on earth would I consider joining
forces with Tucker McCall? >> Audra: Because one way
or another, he will get his hands on Jabot.
It's what he does. And-- and there's no one else
in the world who's better at it than him.
>> Kyle: Was this what tonight was about?
>> Audra: What? >> Kyle: The sex, the tease.
Were-- were you just playing me? >> Audra: I don't have to seduce
you into coming on board. You either will or you won't.
>> Kyle: You already know my answer.
>> Audra: And you promised me you'd think about it.
>> Kyle: Yeah, but I wasn't expecting this.
>> Audra: Well, this is where we are, Kyle.
You know, and I think you at least owe it to yourself
to hear me out. >> Kyle: What did Tucker
offer you? >> Audra: The top job.
>> Kyle: Figures. >> Audra: And you
running it with me, okay? Tucker prefers to stay
on the sidelines. He wouldn't be involved
in the day-to-day. Hey, we could run Jabot
the way it should be run. >> Kyle: And all I would
have to do is betray my mother and father.
>> Audra: What have they done for your career, Kyle?
Jack fired you and Diane stood aside
and allowed it to happen. >> Kyle: Audra, my mother
wants me back at Jabot. >> Audra: Where?
In some subservient position where you get to report
to Billy? Is that really what you want?
>> Kyle: Okay, this is insane. >> Audra: No, it's not.
It's an opportunity... for you and for us.
And you haven't exactly said no yet either.
>> Kyle: You know, what makes you think I won't go straight
to my dad and warn him? >> Audra: Jack and Billy
already know that Tucker is coming after them.
It's no big secret. So, fire away.
You know, it compromises me, but I can take it.
>> Kyle: Well, I'm not participating in this.
>> Audra: Then, why are you still here?
Why didn't you slam out the door the minute I laid this
out for you? Because you know
this makes sense. Look, all I'm asking you to do
is to think about yourself for a change.
What's best for Kyle? Instead of settling
for whatever crumbs your family throws at you.
Your father, he had his success. A great career.
Okay, now-- now, would it really be the end of the world for him
to step back and see his son take the reins?
Yeah, isn't that how family dynasty survive?
>> Kyle: No. No, no. What you are proposing will blow
up our family dynasty. >> Audra: Not if you
were on board. Hey, not if you and I took over
that family business, okay? And made it vital
and exciting again. >> Kyle: You're not family.
>> Audra: Well, you know, Jack clearly doesn't wanna
give you the chance. Tucker and I can.
And it would be the mistake of a lifetime
if you turned it down. >> Jack: I wanna believe,
at the end of the day, Phyllis is not going to allow
herself to be forced by Tucker to work against us.
>> Billy: It's a lot of hope, but not a whole hell of a lot of
history there, Jack. 'Cause this is Phyllis,
again, right? she's gonna take care of herself.
And I've seen nothing to believe that she's changed her ways.
>> Jack: I have seen something. >> Billy: Really? What is that?
>> Jack: She deeply cares what her children think,
especially Summer. >> Billy: That's why she lied
to them about being dead? >> Jack: Billy, she's trying
to win them back, she knows she played a large role
in ruining Summer's marriage to Kyle.
She also knows if Tucker is making a play for Jabot, that
is going to impact Marchetti, which means it will affect
Summer's livelihood. Phyllis does not wanna do
anything to hurt her daughter. That is to our benefit.
>> Tucker: Right back at you, my love. I...
I happen to know that you've been feeding Jack
information about me. >> Phyllis: Who told you that?
>> Tucker: Ah, Phyllis, please, don't insult my intelligence.
Just tell me what it is. What is it you think
you have on me? >> Phyllis: I have
plenty on you. >> Tucker: You don't really
think you can play both sides of this game, do you?
>> Phyllis: Well, if I were to play sides, I definitely
wouldn't be on yours, okay? Our business is concluded.
>> Tucker: Normally, I would agree with you, you're
more trouble than you're worth, but that was before you sold me
out to the Abbotts. I'm very upset about it.
>> Phyllis: I think you'll get over it.
>> Tucker: You're gonna have to make it up to me.
>> Phyllis: When hell freezes over.
[ Tucker chuckling ] >> Tucker: That can be arranged.
>> Phyllis: Tucker, I don't owe you anything. We're done
doing business together. I think you're a little paranoid.
>> Tucker: You know what? Maybe, you're right.
>> Jack: Phyllis has something on Tucker.
>> Tucker: You wanna try again? >> Phyllis: Hm.
You heard a conversation. >> Daniel: What could possibly
be keeping her over there right now?
What kind of connection could the two of them possibly have?
>> Summer: You know, let's-- let's go find out.
>> Tucker: Meet me in my room in 15 minutes.
It was my pleasure. Absolutely my pleasure
to do for you all. I was telling Daniel that, um, seeing you
all together like that has given me renewed hope.
Maybe Ashley and I can, uh, resolve our differences
and reunite as well. So, I gotta go, but, uh, enjoy
the rest of your evening, bye. >> Daniel: Have a good night.
>> Tucker: You too. >> Phyllis: What?
>> Daniel: Just thought it was taking an awful long time
to say thank you. >> Phyllis: Tucker goes on
and on, you know-- >> Summer: Okay. Enough. Mom!
>> Phyllis: I was just saying that Tucker goes on and--
>> Summer: Stop with the lies, okay? Just tell us the truth.
If you ever want us to believe anything that you say
ever again, you and Tucker, you're not a good combination.
So, just tell us what's going on.
And if you don't wanna do that, then, we're both gonna
walk out that door.
>> Billy: We know for a fact that Tucker is gunning for us,
and that listening device is even further proof
that he is not backing down. And that's even with us
threatening to go public with the damning information
that he's involved in a cover-up, Jack.
>> Jack: He doesn't know, but he's given us some power.
>> Billy: I don't see that. >> Jack: Tucker doesn't know
that we're onto him about that listening device. We could
use it to misdirect him. Give him bogus information
that will chase him out in the open.
>> Billy: I-- I don't think that's gonna work, okay?
Tucker's a lot of things, but he's not dumb. Coming up
with a phony story in the hopes that he's listening to it?
He's gonna see that in a heartbeat.
>> Jack: Yeah, you're probably right.
What is our alternative? You have any ideas?
>> Summer: Mom, it's really not a hard question. Something's
going on between you and Tucker. Tell us what it is.
>> Phyllis: Okay. Listen. I don't wanna lie to you guys
ever, ever again, so, um, I'll let you know. So, Jack
asked if I could help him find out some information
about Tucker and I agreed. >> Summer: To do what?
>> Phyllis: To help Jack. >> Daniel: How specifically
did you help him? What did you have to do?
>> Phyllis: Hacking. >> Summer: Hacking?
>> Phyllis: Yeah, I-- I hacked-- I hacked into--
I hacked into Tucker's computer and found out that he recently
purchased some listening devices along with some software.
Um, my suspicion is that he was gonna use it against
the Abbotts and I told Jack. >> Daniel: Mm-hmm, and I bet
Tucker found out. >> Phyllis: Well, yeah,
he found out, and so, then, he wanted me to help him in turn,
but I absolutely said no. [ Daniel laughing ]
You know, Tucker is always trying to work an angle.
But that's not gonna work with me.
Tucker McCall has met his match and he knows it.
What? What's wrong? I did the right thing.
>> Summer: Oh, my gosh. >> Phyllis: I did
the right thing, no, no, no. I helped the Abbotts.
Tucker's a bad guy. He's a shark. I'm the good guy.
I help them defend themselves against Tucker McCall.
What's wrong with that? >> Summer: Mom, you've made
yourself a target of Tucker's now, again.
>> Phyllis: So what? I can handle that.
>> Daniel: No, no, no. That's not the point. Yeah,
you were helping the Abbotts, okay, that's a good thing,
but you were working a scam to do it.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, I didn't have any other options.
>> Daniel: Did you even consider any other options?
>> Phyllis: Okay, such as? >> Daniel: Such as
doing nothing. >> Phyllis: Ugh, I already
told you. >> Daniel: No, you told me.
You told me you're on the side of the angels, I get it.
Well, why couldn't you just say no to Jack and to Tucker?
Why couldn't you just tell him you don't wanna be a part
of their little stupid game? >> Phyllis: Daniel, Daniel,
it's a little more complicated than that.
>> Daniel: Is it? >> Phyllis: Yes, it is.
Okay, what would you suggest I should have done? You tell me.
>> Daniel: What would I suggest? >> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
>> Daniel: I don't know. Focus on yourself.
Focus on your job. Maybe focus on loving
your family. Let that be the thing that turns Jack's
opinion around about you. But no, you--
>> Phyllis: Jack's opinion? >> Daniel: Yes, Jack's opinion.
You seem to care what he thinks. You're helping him, right?
You see a shortcut though and you gotta take it.
>> Phyllis: I can't have this conversation
with you guys anymore. >> Summer: No, Mom,
all that Daniel is trying to suggest
is that maybe, there was a less sketchy way to handle things.
>> Phyllis: There wasn't. I would've appreciated a less
sketchy way, but there was not. And I swear to you, I did
the right thing right now. I did the right thing, but it's
not enough for you guys. So, you know what?
I don't even know what to say. >> Daniel: Okay, now,
you are overreacting. >> Phyllis: No, I'm not!
>> Daniel: And you're not being fair.
>> Phyllis: Oh, you're not being fair. I'm being
completely fair. I am trying to do the right thing, but it's
not enough for you guys. I am over this. Seriously.
I truly, truly give up. [ Summer exhaling ]
>> Daniel: Mom. >> Phyllis: Hm?
>> Daniel: I am sorry. >> Phyllis: And why would you
apologize to me? I'm a lifelong criminal,
a lifelong screw-up. I don't deserve an apology.
>> Summer: Look, we recognize that you-- you actually have
been trying and maybe-- maybe we haven't been
totally fair to you today. >> Phyllis: There's no maybe.
You have not been fair. >> Daniel: Okay, look,
we questioned your motives and your methods.
That has kind of become a knee-jerk reaction for us
and it is not okay. It's not cool.
>> Summer: You're right about the Jack thing.
We just really hate that it's put you back on Tucker's radar.
That's it, okay? >> Daniel: Yes.
>> Phyllis: Okay, listen, I-- I want you two to know that
I can handle that, trust me. >> Summer: Okay, but Mom,
just don't do anything stupid. >> Phyllis: Me?
[ Daniel chuckling ] Listen, okay, guys.
I know I have a long way to go before you trust me again.
I know that. I want you guys to give me
the benefit of the doubt, please, and by the way,
I'm far from stupid. [ phone chiming ]
Oh. Uh-oh. >> Daniel: What?
>> Phyllis: Um, I have some unfinished work.
Oh, I have to go back to the office. Um, you know,
my boss, he's a real stickler, so...
Well, um, hey, maybe, we can get together tomorrow
and finish our celebration, and hopefully, it won't get
interrupted. >> Daniel: That would be nice.
It sounds like a good plan. >> Phyllis: Okay.
>> Daniel: You have a good night.
>> Phyllis: Okay. Good night. Hey, today's the beginning
of my new life. >> Summer: Okay.
>> Phyllis: Yay! >> Summer: Night, Mom.
>> Daniel: So? >> Summer: I don't know.
I really just wish that we could have a night with our mom
that was just a normal night with our mom.
>> Daniel: Think that's ever gonna happen?
>> Summer: I keep wanting to believe her and she keeps
pulling the rug out from under me again, so.
>> Daniel: So, you think there's more to the story?
>> Summer: It's our mom, Daniel. There's always
more to the story. And it usually
doesn't have a happy ending. >> Jack: What's your plan?
>> Billy: We stop playing games with Tucker.
He enjoys it too much. We don't give him the satisfaction.
>> Jack: How? >> Billy: We drop
the hammer on him. We release everything we have
out into the public. He's gonna come after us
and come after our company, that's fine,
but we release that dirt and we show him that we are
not backing down. >> Jack: Hey, Kyle.
>> Kyle: Hey, Dad. >> Jack: Hey, you okay?
>> Kyle: Um, sure, yeah, Dad, everything's fine.
>> Jack: You don't seem fine. What is it? What's wrong?
>> Tucker: Right on time. Come on in. I'm happy
you've seen the wisdom of falling into line.
>> Phyllis: Mm, is that why you think I'm here, Tucker?
>> Tucker: What other reasons could there be?
>> Phyllis: Well, um... [ both laughing ]
You're about to fall into line. I, once again,
am holding the cards. >> Tucker: Oh, brother.
This should be amusing. >> Phyllis: Okay, well,
let me tell you, um... we'll see if you
find it amusing. I, uh, was doing a deep dive
into all of your spy purchases recently for Jack, and, um,
I came across a really, really interesting connection
to Mamie Johnson. >> Tucker: And that's supposed
to mean something to me. >> Phyllis: Well, maybe,
not to you... but it's gonna mean something
to Lily and Devon. It's gonna mean something to Jill Abbott.
That you and Mamie Johnson are silent partners.
[ Phyllis laughing ] Oh.
Let me see. Let me see. Let me see.
Well, I once again, am in the driver's seat
and I'm sure this is a secret that you don't wanna let out.
So... how should we proceed?
