>> Adam: What does it mean, Pop? Huh?
[ Adam sighing ] Something is not right here.
>> Nate: What the hell are you doing?
>> Nikki: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
>> Victor: Doing what on purpose?
>> Nikki: You know what I mean. Vacillating between
between lucidity and confusion. This is some
kind of plot you have concocted, isn't it?
Victor, for God's sake, will you please tell me
the truth? I need to know that you're not losing
your mind. >> Victor: Baby, I am not
losing my mind, okay? >> Nikki: So then, you are
tricking everyone. >> Victor: Put it this way.
Things are beginning to coalesce around me, so...
>> Nikki: I-- I don't even know what that means.
>> Victor: Well, that means that I'm beginning to discover
certain patterns among my children
and it's somewhat upsetting. >> Victoria: Mom.
>> Nikki: Oh, thank you for coming, darling.
>> Victoria: Yes. Of course. Is this about, um...
Where's Dad? >> Nikki: He's out taking
a walk. >> Victoria: How does he seem?
That's why you called, right? Because you noticed
he's forgetting things and he's behaving erratically?
Well, how worried do you think we should be?
♪♪♪
>> Danny: All right. To your new home, son.
>> Phyllis: Woohoo! >> Lily: Hear, hear!
>> Daniel: Thank you. >> Lily: Congrats.
>> Daniel: Thank you. Thank you for all of this.
And, um, thank you for bringing chairs.
>> Lily: Well, I know Sally's gonna help you decorate
the place, but at least now you have an option other
than the floor, right? >> Danny: I don't know.
I'm kinda digging this Spartan vibe.
>> Phyllis: I'm just glad that you're out of the hotel
and you have your own place. >> Lily: Me too.
>> Phyllis: Yes. >> Lily: Neighbor.
>> Phyllis: Given everything you've gone through,
I'm surprised you're staying, but I'm very happy.
>> Daniel: You know, it might come as a shock to you,
mother, but the current state of our relationship doesn't
dictate why I want to stay in Genoa City.
>> Danny: Okay, how about some more champagne?
>> Phyllis: No, I'm just saying-- Sure, sure.
I mean, you're putting down roots. That means you have
a reason to stay. >> Lily: Yeah, I hope so.
>> Daniel: You can count on it. [ Lily chuckling ]
>> Phyllis: Several reasons, I'm sure, given the
current developments. >> Daniel: What do you mean?
>> Danny: I'm sure Phyllis is talking about how you and
Lily found your way back together.
>> Daniel: Yeah. >> Lily: Mm-hmm.
>> Daniel: Is that what you meant?
>> Phyllis: Yeah! Yeah. Well, that's one of the
things. For sure, for sure. >> Lily: Well, thank you.
I'm touched. >> Daniel: Well, you are
at the top of my list of good things that have
happened to me, so... >> Phyllis: And don't forget
all of your success with OmegaSphere.
>> Danny: Absolutely. You know, all those good
things in your life, Daniel, they didn't just happen.
You worked hard. You took a video idea and what?
Turned it into a whole division of a company?
I mean, come on. >> Daniel: Mm-hmm. That's all
because somebody believed in me and took a chance on me.
>> Phyllis: Uh, yes, yes, but don't sell yourself short.
You deserve it. >> Daniel: Yes. But I needed
someone to believe in me to make it happen.
>> Lily: Yes, but I heard your vision, I saw how hard
you worked and I knew that you could make it a reality.
>> Danny: And more than a reality. You built a whole
new career for yourself. >> Daniel: Okay, okay, okay.
I will take some of the credit. >> Danny: And you're in
a solid relationship with someone who really
knows you and gets you. Hey, that's a lot to celebrate.
>> Lily: Along with your new home.
>> Phyllis: Yes. And yay! Heather and Lucy are
moving back to Genoa City. You get to be near
your daughter. >> Lily: Yeah and I agree.
'Cause I think it's great that you get to spend more time
with Lucy, right? >> Phyllis: Yeah?
>> Daniel: Well, I am looking forward to spending more time
with my daughter. >> Phyllis: Yes, absolutely.
That's what I meant. >> Adam: You know, why does
it feel like I just got caught sneaking into
my parents' liquor cabinet. >> Nate: I don't know, Adam.
Have you been caught? What are you doing in here?
>> Adam: Why do you care? >> Nate: Oh, that you're
sneaking around Victor's office, sitting in his chair
like you own the place. Why would that
concern me, Adam? >> Adam: Look, I just was--
>> Nate: Fantasizing what it would be like, huh?
>> Adam: Um, I don't need to fantasize since I've
actually run this company. >> Nate: But right now,
you work for me. You know I'm gonna have
to tell Victor, right? >> Adam: And that would be fine.
But okay, I admit it, technically, I should have
run this by you first. I'm supposed to report to you
and I shouldn't be taking orders from anybody else
in the company, but he is, you know, my dad.
>> Nate: What paperwork did he ask for?
>> Adam: The kind that he would consider private.
Do I aspire to this chair again? Of course, I do.
I mean, who wouldn't? I, uh, suspect it has crossed
your mind too. >> Nate: If only my last
name were Newman. >> Adam: Hm. That would
make a difference, I can't lie. Look, I, uh, appreciate
your concern about my father, but there is nothing
to be worried about, boss. All right? Those projections
that you asked for are in your inbox,
so I'll see you in the morning. [ Nate sighing ]
>> Victoria: Well, something upset you enough for you
to reach out to me. What was it, Mom?
Would you please talk to me? I need to know what's
going on. >> Nikki: Victoria, I--
>> Victor: Sweetheart, everything all right?
>> Victoria: Hi, Dad. >> Victor: Hi, my darling.
>> Victoria: Good to see you. >> Victor: What brings you by
so late? Hope nothing was wrong
at the office. >> Victoria: No, everything
is fine at the office. >> Victor: So, why'd you come
by? To check up on me or what? >> Victoria: Would that be
such a bad thing? >> Victor: Yes. Perpetuating
the notion that your father is losing his marbles.
>> Victoria: Well, you have-- >> Victor: It's absurd.
And I hope you were about to tell our daughter that.
>> Nikki: Words to that effect, yes.
>> Victor: Good. And I have your support.
>> Victoria: What's going on between you two?
>> Victor: Nothing, okay? We're having a little private matter
we're discussing. Otherwise, everything is fine.
Nothing to worry about.
>> Victoria: I get it, Dad. I get it. This is not
a conversation that you want to have. I know you
don't like when people question your ability
to manage things, especially because you're
the one who always holds everything together.
>> Victor: Especially when that person feels she
should be running Newman Enterprises
instead of her father. >> Victoria: Oh, come on,
Dad. That's not what this is about. I don't care
about that title. >> Victor: Give me a break.
>> Victoria: As much as I care about you.
I have a lot of questions. >> Victor: The answer's
very simple. There's nothing wrong with me.
>> Victoria: You know? You see, that is exactly
what I said after what I went through with JT.
>> Victor: Why do you bring that up now?
>> Victoria: Because... for months and months,
I told people that I was fine, that there was nothing wrong.
I just needed to get back to work and look after
my family, but then I finally had to face the fact
that there was something wrong, that I couldn't
operate at that level. >> Victor: So, it's a totally
different conversation. That was forced upon you
by JT's madness. >> Victoria: Daddy,
I know, I understand. The circumstances were different--
>> Victor: Yeah. >> Victoria: But you and me,
we're the same. We're the decision makers.
The ones that people look to and when I finally had to
admit that yes, indeed, I was struggling,
I needed your help and I needed your guidance
and it made all the difference in the world.
I just-- I want to return the favor.
>> Nikki: You know, it's late, we're all tired.
We should have this conversation--
>> Victor: What do you mean by wanting me to return the favor?
What do you mean by that? >> Victoria: Just please
talk to a professional. Agree to do that.
If they talk to you, then maybe they can figure out
if something's going on. If not, if I'm overreacting,
then you can throw a big, huge "I told you so" party.
>> Victor: If I did, would that put an end to this?
>> Victoria: If I'm wrong, then yes. Yes, most definitely.
>> Victor: Huh. I'll think about it.
>> Victoria: Thank you. I guess that's the best
that I could hope for. >> Adam: Nick.
Look, I realize that I'm the last person that you
want to deal with right now. >> Nick: Way to read
the room. >> Adam: Listen, wait, wait.
Can we please just put everything else aside
for a minute and talk about Dad?
Because I'm really concerned something's wrong with him.
>> Nick: You know, the first time Vic brought this up,
that she thought that Dad was acting confused,
I didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought that
she was exaggerating because she was bitter that Dad
demoted her. >> Adam: Okay. Well then,
what changed? >> Nick: Dad's the smartest
person in every room, you know? He's always three steps ahead.
>> Adam: Yeah, and yet, he's done some questionable
things lately that things that the smartest man in the room
would not do. >> Nick: But wouldn't it
be just like Dad to do something like this as part
of a grand plan? >> Adam: To what end?
>> Nick: Well, Adam, I no longer think Victoria's exaggerating.
>> Adam: What changed your mind? >> Nick: He made a comment
about Victoria taking over Newman Media and not Mom.
>> Adam: Could've been a slip. >> Nick: Tried to tell
myself that. >> Adam: Like when he called
me by your name? >> Nick: That'd be two slips.
This coming from the man who's usually on top
of everything. >> Adam: Nick, come on.
It has to be something bigger than that to make you
this concerned. Come on, Nick.
I-- I'm concerned too. Can we just put aside
the anger for a minute and act like Victor's sons?
What else happened? >> Nick: He also said that,
uh, you and Sally were still expecting a baby.
>> Adam: He forgot that we lost her?
>> Nick: I reminded him. He just tried to change
the subject. >> Adam: Geez. Wow.
Th-- this morning, Dad, he went off on me
and then later, it's like he-- he didn't even realize
that he had done it. He seemed like everything
was fine, but then he went on this paranoid riff
that you and Victoria were trying to sabotage him.
I, uh, I ended up going to his office.
I'm not sure why. Was trying to find clues
that could help us put this together and
this is what I found. Have you ever known Dad
to doodle? >> Nick: No.
>> Adam: It's not like him at all.
>> Nick: Well, given what we're talking about,
this seems like it's insignificant to me.
>> Adam: Yeah, I-- I thought the same thing until
you look more closely. If you look at the lines,
they're little letters. It's writing.
>> Nick: It's just names over and over again.
Victoria, Adam and Nicholas. >> Adam: Yeah, you see
the image? It's a snake and fangs.
It's really-- It's weird.
And it's really disturbing. >> Phyllis: Okay, okay,
I'll admit it. I had an ulterior motive encouraging
Heather to move back to town. I did.
>> Daniel: Mom. >> Phyllis: I want to be near
Lucy, okay? Big deal, sue me.
That was my reason. >> Lily: Yeah. She's gonna be
off to college before you know it. Trust me.
>> Danny: Reminds me of when you were a teenager,
Daniel, you know? Figuring things out.
Hey, do you remember when we first realized that
he might just have artistic talent?
Yeah, remember that? He drew that wild caricature
of his gym teacher. [ Phyllis laughing ]
>> Phyllis: Mr. Pollard. Do you remember that?
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm. >> Phyllis: He did not think
it was funny. >> Daniel: Nope.
>> Danny: No, no, no. In fact, I think he made him
waterboy for a couple of games, didn't he?
>> Phyllis: Remember that-- remember that tight uniform
he made you wear? >> Danny: You sent me
a picture of it, you know? You did. It was priceless,
wasn't it? >> Daniel: Priceless.
You also remember before I really found my passion
for art, that I want into photography? You should
remember. I was the official tour photographer that
one summer. >> Danny: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Great times. >> Daniel: Yeah, great times,
until Mom found a picture of me and some random girl
partying on the tour bus and decided that it would be
a good idea to show my current girlfriend at the time
and you know, that ultimately led to us breaking up,
but yeah, good times. >> Phyllis: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
>> Danny: And look where we are today, huh? Come on,
you channeled those amazing drawing skills and you used
them to turn your life around. And you created a video game
in which your daughter was the central character. I mean,
how amazing is that? >> Lily: Yeah, it was amazing.
I mean, you gave her an incredible gift.
>> Phyllis: Absolutely. >> Danny: Yeah.
And your mother has turned her life around.
Yeah, she's-- she's been through stuff that...
might have broken someone else, but it made her strong
and I think a newfound appreciation for family
and for all the opportunities that you've given her.
>> Phyllis: Thank you. Absolutely.
>> Danny: I think we should drink to that.
[ Daniel sighing ] >> Daniel: I'll get
more champagne.
>> Danny: It's so nice. >> Daniel: Well, I can't
thank you guys enough for helping me break the place in.
>> Lily: Yes, and the food. Thank you.
>> Danny: Hey, that was all Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: That was my pleasure.
>> Daniel: This feels good. I'm gonna like it here.
[ all chuckling ] >> Phyllis: Thank you for
letting us be a part of your celebration. I really
appreciate it. And I have to tell you, honestly,
after my kids have been all over the globe,
I'm so happy that my babies-- my babies are right here
in town. It makes me so happy. Just saying.
I'm happy you're here too. >> Danny: Well, I feel
the same way. >> Daniel: Well, listen.
Anytime you're ready to move out of the Athletic Club
and into your honorary guest room, it's waiting.
>> Lily: Which will have furniture soon, hopefully.
>> Daniel: Oh, I am gonna call Sally first thing in
the morning, I promise. >> Lily: Okay.
>> Daniel: I will. That is assuming that you're planning
on staying in town. >> Danny: I told you, I have
no place I need to be. I wanna spend time with you,
so yes, I am taking you up on that offer.
I plan on staying for a while. >> Daniel: Great. Fantastic.
>> Phyllis: Well, that's great to hear.
>> Danny: Well, listen. We're, uh, we're gonna get
out of here. It was great seeing you, Lily.
>> Lily: Yeah, you too. >> Phyllis: I'll see you
at work. >> Daniel: Sounds like
a plan. Good night. >> Lily: Good night, guys.
>> Phyllis: Good night. [ Danny sighing ]
>> Danny: I love you. Hey, congrats.
>> Daniel: Yup. Thank you. >> Danny: Bye.
>> Lily: Bye. [ Daniel exhaling ]
[ Lily chuckling ] >> Daniel: Thank you so much
for putting up with my parents, especially
with my mom. >> Lily: No, it was fine.
>> Daniel: No, it wasn't. She just doesn't know when
to leave well enough alone. >> Nikki: I'm relieved that
you'll think about taking this step, for everyone's
peace of mind. [ phone chiming ]
>> Victoria: Oh, it's Nate. He wants to meet.
Something important that he needs to discuss.
>> Victor: Well, why don't you go to it, okay?
>> Victoria: Thank you, Dad. >> Victor: I haven't agreed
to anything. >> Victoria: I know, but
you're at least thinking about it, right?
All I want are some definitive answers and I really feel like
you should want the same. I only care about your health.
Truly. I don't have an ulterior motive, I just--
I just want everything to be all right.
>> Victor: Uh-huh. >> Nikki: Darling, you said
that you would consider a professional opinion.
>> Victoria: And whoever you talk to, if they think
that Nicholas and I are overreacting or taking
things too far, then I will let it go.
I give you my word. >> Nikki: Yes, I think we will
all feel better once we know the facts.
>> Victoria: I love you. >> Victor: I love you too.
>> Victoria: Just let me know what you decide.
>> Victor: Yeah, yeah. >> Nikki: All right, darling.
Uh, have a good evening. I'll talk to you--
>> Victoria: I love you so much, all right? Goodbye.
>> Nikki: Bye. Your daughter is worried
about you. You are lucid enough to see that, right?
>> Victor: She's just upset that I took over the reins
of the company again, that's all.
>> Nikki: Victor, she has done everything you have
ever wanted. The company was thriving under her
leadership and then, you took that away from her.
Of course, she feels slighted. She feels manipulated.
That's what you do. >> Victor: If I hadn't stepped
in, you would have told her everything.
That means I can no longer trust you.
>> Adam: So, does that mean that he sees us as vipers?
Does he think that we're trying to go after each other
or is he imagining that we're trying to attack him?
>> Nick: You're reading too much into it.
>> Adam: No, I think the message is pretty clear.
>> Nick: He was doodling, Adam. He probably doesn't
even realize what he was drawing.
>> Adam: Come on. You don't believe that anymore
than I do, okay? Look at this. The time and energy that
went into this? This is not some random scribbling.
This is a window into his brain. >> Nick: How so?
>> Adam: He didn't just mix up our names, Nick.
He forgot that I worked at Newman. That he put me
working for Nate. And Nikki's in charge
of Newman Media. He forgot that his own
granddaughter died. You gonna pretend like
that's not serious? >> Nick: All right, I'll figure
it out, okay? I will come up with a solution.
>> Adam: You know we cannot let this go on and the only
reason that you're hedging is because you don't want
me involved. >> Nick: Well, you got
that right. >> Adam: You know, he's
my dad too. >> Nick: That won't stop you
from using it to your advantage.
You probably see this as some sort of poetic justice.
[ Adam sighing ]
>> Adam: You don't trust that I'm trying to do
what's best for Dad. And given my history,
I understand. I mean, I'm sure you blame me
for whatever confusion Sally is going through.
>> Nick: I know how good you are at manipulating people,
and this has nothing to do with you and Sally.
This is about you and Dad, and your messed-up relationship.
And the gamesmanship, and the back-and-forth.
Like, remember when you messed his medication?
>> Adam: Okay, I am not that person anymore.
And I'm making a genuine effort to prove that.
>> Nick: For a whole few weeks. Nicely done. Is it even real?
>> Adam: I'm sorry that it hasn't been longer,
so you can see that I'm sincere.
Nick, I can't just keep my head down
and be a good soldier when something could be
really wrong with Dad. I know, we all see him
as indestructible, it's hard to accept.
>> Nick: Well, whatever it is, we will figure it out
without you. >> Adam: I'm already involved.
And the best way to get through to Dad,
to help Dad, is to show him his children
are working together. >> Nick: You're just trying
to maneuver your way back in. >> Adam: No, I'm trying
to give him what he has always wanted.
What he's desperately craved. Family unity.
I mean, he even said that you were coming back to Newman.
Is that even true? >> Nick: No, Adam, I'm not.
I have no idea why he would say that.
>> Adam: Because something is wrong.
I know it's hard to accept, but I'm telling you,
this is the best thing that we can do for him.
>> Adam: Do you really hate me that much that you
will refuse to work together, to do what's best
for our father? >> Victoria: Hi.
>> Nate: Hey. [ Victoria sighs ]
>> Victoria: I, um... I just came from the ranch.
My mom reached out to me and said that
she needed to talk. >> Nate: About Victor?
>> Victoria: I assume so. But before she could tell me
what was on her mind, my dad came back
from his nightly walk. >> Nate: How'd he seem?
>> Victoria: He seemed fine. I mean...
No sign of confusion. And when I brought up
my concerns, and my idea for him to...
to have somebody evaluate him, I mean...
he resisted it. >> Nate: I'm not surprised.
>> Victoria: There was, um... there was some sort of tension
between him and my mother. >> Nate: Maybe your mother's
been after him to get a professional opinion, too.
>> Victoria: Yeah, that makes sense.
I mean, she was being extremely careful about what she said.
>> Nate: Victor is a proud man. He's not used to people
questioning his authority, much less his mental health.
>> Victoria: Yeah. I know that, I...
I mean, I tried to put it... to him in a way that I thought
would be more palatable, that... you know, that he should
talk to someone, and relieve our concerns,
and if I've blown everything out of proportion,
that he can lord it over me, for the rest of time,
never let me forget it. >> Nate: And he agreed?
>> Victoria: He said he would consider it.
>> Nate: Maybe he's, uh... [ sighs ]
Maybe he's afraid of what a specialist might find.
>> Victoria: That's hard for me to imagine.
>> Nate: It's hard to imagine any of this, given it's Victor.
>> Victoria: He's so strong and confident,
I could see him... going in and assuming that
he could fool any specialist, whatever's going on with him.
>> Nate: Exactly. So why hesitate this time?
>> Victoria: Because maybe this time, it's different.
Maybe he is... really scared about
what's going on in his mind. >> Daniel: I just feel like
it's so obvious what my mother was trying to do
And I hate that she put you in this position.
>> Lily: What position? [ Daniel sighs ]
>> Daniel: I don't know, you know, making you feel
like you have to make allowances for her.
Bringing up Heather's name every opportunity that she gets,
or her acting like she's so excited that Heather and Lucy
are moving back to town. >> Lily: Well, of course
she's excited. Her granddaughter is
moving back here and then you get to be
part of Lucy's life again. It's wonderful.
[ Daniel sighs ] >> Daniel: Yeah,
but she's using it to stir up trouble
between the two of us. >> Lily: Daniel,
I don't see it that way. I think she knows
that she screwed up, and that it's gonna
take a long time to gain your trust again.
>> Daniel: This is not the way to do that. Not at all.
>> Lily: Daniel, I think she's just happy
that you're staying in Genoa City, and she's
pointing out other reasons to make it long-term.
>> Daniel: Well, I guess it's nice that you can give her
the benefit of the doubt, even though she's the one
that's pushing for Heather to move here.
>> Lily: Okay, look, all I saw tonight
is that she's very self-conscious around you,
because she's afraid of being judged,
and she is being judged. >> Daniel: With good reason.
Yeah, she is. >> Lily: No, not about this.
Not by me. >> Daniel: So, you really didn't
see what she was oh so subtly trying to do tonight?
>> Lily: Okay, Daniel, I think you're the one
with the problem. >> Daniel: What are you
talking about? >> Lily: You're the one who's
making this about Heather. >> DANNY: And a tea
with honey, thanks. [ Phyllis sighs ]
>> Phyllis: Well... That went well, right?
>> DANNY: Yeah. Yeah, it did. It was a really, uh...
It was a really nice evening. >> Phyllis: Yeah, I'm really
proud of our son, how he's turned his life around.
>> Danny: Me, too. And he and Lily, they-- well...
they seem really happy together.
>> Phyllis: Oh. I'll be honest,
I don't see it. >> Danny: Oh, come on. Why not?
[ Phyllis chuckles ] >> Phyllis: Many reasons.
>> Danny: Careful, Phyllis. >> Phyllis: What?
>> Danny: You're in the process of rebuilding your trust
with Daniel. >> Danny: You're not gonna score
any points meddling in his relationship.
>> Phyllis: I'm not meddling. Oh, my goodness,
I'm not meddling. It's an observation, that's all.
That's it. That's what I see. >> Danny: Uh-huh.
>> Phyllis: I like Lily. >> Danny: Yeah, right.
>> Phyllis: Yeah. >> Danny: But you just
don't like them together. >> Phyllis: Well, I was very
nice to her tonight. >> Danny: Uh, nice-ish.
>> Phyllis: I was nice to her. Listen, they have
a lot of history, I know. >> Danny: Yeah,
they were in love once. Passionately.
>> Phyllis: Yes, and it didn't work out.
For reasons. >> Danny: That doesn't mean
it will happen this time. >> Phyllis: I just don't...
I don't want to see our son get his heart broken,
that's all. [ Danny sighs ]
>> Danny: Couples do have second chances that work out,
you know. >> Phyllis: Yes, I do.
Thanks for reminding me. You're a very positive influence
to have... in someone's life who needs it.
[ Danny chuckles ] >> Danny: Well, I'm...
happy to oblige.
>> Victoria: You know, my whole entire life,
my father has been like this mythic figure, almost.
Like, he's always winning, he's always... finding a way.
So, it's hard for me to imagine him not
thinking that he's in complete control.
I'm sorry, I keep dragging you into my family issues.
>> Nate: No, no. No need to apologize.
>> Victoria: So, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?
>> Nate: It has to do with your family issues.
I know you've been totally focused on your father's health,
as you should be. So, I've made it a priority
to keep an eye on Adam. >> Victoria: If anyone
would take advantage of this situation,
any perceived weakness, that would definitely
be my brother. >> Nate: And I think
he's going there. >> Victoria: Why?
What did he do? I found him sitting
behind Victor's desk, looking rather comfortable.
Like he owned the place. >> Nikki: I was not going
to tell Victoria that you're faking this
mental decline. >> Victor: You were on
the verge, weren't you? >> Nikki: Was I tempted?
Absolutely. And as much as I dislike
what you're doing, I would never betray your trust.
Victor, please. You have to hear what I'm saying
and consider the consequences of what you're doing.
>> Victor: I know what I'm doing and soon enough I'll find out
which one of my children is ready to betray me.
>> Nikki: It's not worth the pain it's causing.
[ Nikki scoffs ] >> Nikki: Nicholas
is so distraught, he will never let on,
Victoria's beside herself. She worships you.
And she is terrified that she might lose you.
>> Nick: Well, I do admit, you...
sound sincere. >> Adam: Well, just give me
a chance to prove that I am. At least admit that what
I'm saying, it makes sense. >> Nick: Ever since the day
Dad announced his intention to step back in as CEO,
my mom's been very concerned about him taking all this on.
>> Adam: Well, yeah, on top of the pressure of running
the company, he's just been consumed with trying to get
all of us to come back to be a part of what he created.
>> Nick: Which you fought him every step of the way,
because the only thing you cared about, Adam,
was what you wanted, what you felt like you deserved.
>> Adam: Yes. I did.
I admitted that. But I want to do what is right,
because Dad is not well. So taking care of him
has to be our top priority, Regardless of you feel about me,
personally. [ Nick sighs ]
>> Adam: Come on, what's going on inside your mind?
You know what this means, don't you?
[ Nick sighs ] >> Nick: I'll handle it.
You stay out of it.
>> Daniel: You know, I'm not the one who kept bringing up
Heather's name in the conversation tonight.
I just brought it up now because I want to apologize
for how my mother was acting. >> Lily: Look at how
worked up you're getting just talking about her.
>> Daniel: Because I can't get my mom to back off.
I mean, Heather told me that she wanted us
to be back together. >> Lily: Even if that's true,
so what? [ Daniel chuckles ]
>> Daniel: It's obnoxious, Lily, and it's manipulative.
>> Lily: Yeah, that is your mother.
I mean, I'm gonna pretend that it doesn't bother me
that you're more upset about this than I am.
>> Daniel: Okay, look, I am... I am upset because this,
because this, right here, this is exactly what
my mother wants. She wants Heather
to be an issue for us. >> Lily: Then stop
making her one. [ Daniel sighs ]
>> Daniel: I'm not. I'm not. She's not.
>> Phyllis: Listen to you... Wild Danny Romalotti,
dispensing all this wisdom. [ Phyllis chuckles ]
>> Danny: Yes, only to a select few.
>> Phyllis: Oh, I'm honored. I'm honored.
It felt really good, being with you tonight,
with our son. >> Danny: Yeah, for me too.
>> Phyllis: Oh. Well...
I have an early morning tomorrow.
I should get home. >> Danny: Yeah.
I'm just gonna... hang out a bit,
finish my tea. Good night, Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: Good night, Danny. [ Danny chuckles ]
[ Danny sighs ] [ approaching footsteps ]
>> Christine: Danny. >> Danny: Hi.
>> Nate: I think Adam is up to something.
And it didn't take long for him to revert to his old ways.
>> Victoria: I never bought his reform act anyway.
So, what did he say when you walked in and caught him
sitting in my dad's chair? >> Nate: That your father
wanted him to grab some documents.
>> Victoria: What documents? >> Nate: Wouldn't share.
Said it was personal. >> Victoria: Are you
buying that? >> Nate: Nope.
>> Victoria: Well, what do you think he's after?
>> Nate: No idea. But I remembered an earlier
conversation we'd had. I had mentioned some of
the things you and I witnessed with Victor.
His first response was: we need to look out
for the company. >> Victoria: There is
no question that he's going to try to use my father's
condition against him. [ Adam sighs ]
[ Adam clears throat ] >> Adam: Hi, Dr. Skelton,
uh, it's Adam Newman. I would like to meet with you.
Uh, I'm gonna need your help. No, it's not me.
It's my father. >> Victor: Sweetheart...
I needed to do this to be certain.
>> Nikki: Victor, you are punishing all of your children
with this stunt. When you need to focus on Adam.
>> Victor: Yeah, Adam seems to be the most obvious one
to use this time to come after me.
>> Nick: Dad, I'm onto you. Time to come clean.
