How are you?

>> Cole: We knew this
wasn't gonna be easy.
4
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,695
>> Claire: I was raised
by a difficult woman
5
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:30,697
to do difficult things.
6
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:37,370
I did what I needed to do.
7
00:00:37,437 --> 00:00:40,306
I said things that I didn't
think I'd ever be able
8
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:41,808
to put words to.
9
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:44,411
Jordan might not ever realize
what she's done.
10
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:46,780
She tried to ruin so many lives.
11
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:53,086
But she doesn't get
to destroy mine anymore.
12
00:00:53,153 --> 00:00:58,992
>> Cole: Well, the right thing
to do is usually the hardest.
13
00:00:59,058 --> 00:01:01,394
>> Claire: Thank you.
14
00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:04,597
Thank you so much.

Thank you for making
this meeting possible
16
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,502
and for coming with me.
17
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:11,838
It's so much more
than I expected,
18
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:14,741
especially after everything.
19
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:16,409
>> Cole: Whatever you need.
20
00:01:16,476 --> 00:01:20,413
All right? Day or night,
anything you need.
21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,415

22
00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:23,583
We're all yours.

we get out of here, go home?
24

Come on.

26
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:56,783
>> Victoria: Hi, Dad. I came
straight from the airport.
27
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,953
>> Victor: So?
28
00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:00,920
>> Victoria: So...
29
00:02:00,987 --> 00:02:02,989
>> Victor: You look exhausted,
my darling.
30
00:02:03,056 --> 00:02:04,858
>> Victoria: Yeah, well,
we did hit some weather
31
00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:07,627
over South Dakota
that added to my stress level.
32
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:10,263
>> Victor: I talked
to the pilot.
33
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:11,731
>> Victoria: Of course you did.
34
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,166
>> Victor: Yes.
35
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:14,868
How was the trip?
36
00:02:14,934 --> 00:02:17,403
Was the security I provided,
was it adequate?
37
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:19,439
>> Victoria: Yes, Dad,
it was more than adequate.
38
00:02:19,506 --> 00:02:21,574
Thank you for arranging
all that.
39
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:23,943
Even though that Mom was less
than thrilled with the plan.
40
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:26,412
>> Victor: Well, I wanted all of
you to feel as safe as possible.
41
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:27,347
>> Victoria: And we did.
42
00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:28,081
Thank you.
43
00:02:28,147 --> 00:02:30,283
It was greatly appreciated.
44
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,619
>> Victor: Was the trip
productive?
45
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:34,153
>> Victoria: Well, yes.
46
00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:36,122
Claire did
what she set out to do.
47
00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:39,025
She confronted her aunt
about her hellish upbringing
48
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:41,628
and all of it.
49
00:02:41,694 --> 00:02:44,097

girl has a lot to sort through,
50
00:02:44,163 --> 00:02:45,565
doesn't she?
51
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:48,434
>> Victoria: She's not
the only one.
52
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:50,503
I'm scared, Dad.
53
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:53,540
And I'm so tired.
54

[ sighs ]
How do I make up
55
00:02:56,676 --> 00:03:00,046
for all of the pain
that she's lived through?
56
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:04,284
And how do I make sure
she never feels that hurt again?
57
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:07,220
>> Victor: Sweetheart, I--
I don't know what to say.
58
00:03:07,287 --> 00:03:10,723
All I can tell you
is that as a parent,
59
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:12,926
one never stops worrying.
60
00:03:15,828 --> 00:03:19,832

some Chamomile with honey.

you haven't said two words

I mean, I've only met him twice,
so I'm not exactly a good judge,

this in front of him, but...

that look he had.

all too well.

the weather,

There's too much history

harsh, but you're not listening,

You know I've changed.

You know that.

How many times have you said
that lately that I've changed?

romantic going on between us

much about the actual meeting

121

She didn't say much except that
she did what needed to be done,
122
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:59,252
and then she slept
most of the plane ride home.
123

I mean, we all made it happen.

138
00:07:46,566 --> 00:07:49,302
You know, I look into her eyes
and there's so much that I don't
139

know, but there's also
this familiarity
140
00:07:52,471 --> 00:07:55,575
and this recognition.
141
00:07:55,641 --> 00:08:00,813
You know, the thought of losing
her again is-- It's unbearable.

to know my daughter.

I wanna try to find a way to
make up for the horrible life

that she had because of Jordan.
146
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:15,595
She deserves to know who we are,
and-- and she should know

who she is too.
148
00:08:16,829 --> 00:08:22,902

deserving and she's lovable.

I feel compassion for you, okay?

00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:35,281
Because of Adam.

>> Victor: Yeah.
154
00:08:36,816 --> 00:08:39,151
When I think back, I should
never have allowed Hope to raise
155
00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:42,521
that boy all by herself.
156
00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:44,857
>> Victoria: Do you know, Daddy,
every time he self-destructs,
157
00:08:44,924 --> 00:08:48,227
he pushes you away, and that
just reopens the wound.
158
00:08:48,294 --> 00:08:50,529
>> Victor: Yeah.
159
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:54,800
I tried to reconnect with Adam
many a time, you know?
160
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:56,736
Don't know if I ever succeeded.
161
00:08:56,802 --> 00:08:59,639
But one thing
you've got to know,
162
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:02,775
Claire is a victim.
163
00:09:02,842 --> 00:09:06,846
All the hurt she has suffered
will not wash away overnight.
164
00:09:06,913 --> 00:09:08,247
>> Victoria: I know that.
165
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:11,584
I know. And even if she softens
her stance towards Cole and me,
166
00:09:11,651 --> 00:09:15,922
it could be months or years
before she trusts us.
167
00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:19,792
>> Victor: I'm very glad you're
being realistic, my sweetheart.
168
00:09:19,859 --> 00:09:22,561
But there's something else
you need to reconsider.
169
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:24,397
>> Victoria: What's that?
170
00:09:24,463 --> 00:09:29,201
>> Victor: Claire just met
Jordan again.
171
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,604
That may have reawakened
her loyalty towards
172
00:09:31,671 --> 00:09:33,940
that terrible woman.
173
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:37,677

to deal with.

00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,813
>> Victoria: Yeah.
175
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,682
>> Lauren: Hold up there.
176
00:09:42,748 --> 00:09:45,051
You don't get to blame yourself.
177
00:09:45,117 --> 00:09:47,853
Even if you're right
and Seth is drinking,
178
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,856
you are not responsible
for his actions.
179
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:52,224
>> Nikki: That is true.
180
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:55,027
I said the same thing to Victor
just this morning.
181
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:59,365
He-- he wanted to know
why my sponsor hadn't stopped me
182
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:00,833
from drinking.
183
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,601
>> Lauren: Well, he can't.
184
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:04,770
It's not his job.
185
00:10:04,837 --> 00:10:07,540
You get to decide if you're
gonna take that next drink.
186
00:10:07,606 --> 00:10:09,308
>> Nikki: Oh, that is true.
187
00:10:09,375 --> 00:10:12,178
But every day is a battle.
188
00:10:12,244 --> 00:10:16,649
They tell us in the program,
the only thing we have to do
189
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:18,684
is not drink.
190
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:20,720
But that's a very tall order.
191
00:10:20,786 --> 00:10:24,757
>> Lauren: Yeah, Fen says that
it's one day at a time.
192
00:10:24,824 --> 00:10:28,160
And that is a goal
for a very select group.
193
00:10:28,227 --> 00:10:31,330
Because when an addict
is tempted to use,
194
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:33,532
it can be one minute at a time.
195
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:36,902
>> Nikki: And then when you see
somebody stumble,
196
00:10:36,969 --> 00:10:39,238
then you worry about
your own sobriety.
197
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:42,541
You-- you fear that a relapse
is inevitable
198
00:10:42,608 --> 00:10:46,812
and then it just becomes
a self-fulfilling prophecy.
199
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:51,317
Oh, I just--
I could see it in Seth's eyes,
200
00:10:51,384 --> 00:10:57,623
in the puffy face
and gritting his teeth.
201
00:10:57,690 --> 00:11:01,127
I think he's drinking again
and was dying to get back to it.
202
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:05,865
And I would hate myself
if I caused my own sponsor
203
00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:07,133
to go off the wagon.
204
00:11:07,199 --> 00:11:10,069
>> Lauren: And I would hate
for this misguided guilt
205
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:14,006
to set off a negative reaction
in you.
206
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:16,542
Nikki, what can I do to help?
207
00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:19,145
[ footsteps approach ]
>> Jack: Hey,
208
00:11:19,211 --> 00:11:22,515
two of my favorite people.
209
00:11:22,581 --> 00:11:24,250
Uh, bad timing.
210
00:11:24,316 --> 00:11:25,484
Am I interrupting?
211
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:37,630
>> Nikki: Well, hello, Jack,
and bye.
212
00:11:37,696 --> 00:11:40,833
I'm afraid I've got to get home.
213
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,501
Thanks for keeping me company.
214
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:44,970
>> Lauren: Yeah, why don't
I drive you back to the ranch?
215
00:11:45,037 --> 00:11:46,939
Is Victor there?
216
00:11:47,006 --> 00:11:48,707
>> Nikki: Oh, well,
at this hour,
217
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:50,443
I can't imagine he wouldn't be.
218
00:11:50,509 --> 00:11:52,678
>> Lauren: Well, there's
something I'd like to run by him
219
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:55,948
and I would feel better
if we left together.
220
00:11:56,015 --> 00:11:57,249
>> Nikki: Oh, Lauren, no.
221
00:11:57,316 --> 00:11:58,384
It's fine.
222
00:11:58,451 --> 00:12:01,320
In fact, I'm sure that Victor's
probably in bed by now.
223
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,023
So, have a nice
rest of your evening.
224
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:05,691
>> Jack: You take care, Nikki.
225
00:12:05,758 --> 00:12:08,260
>> Lauren: Drive safely.
226
00:12:08,327 --> 00:12:10,496
>> Nikki: Always.
227
00:12:16,135 --> 00:12:23,042
>> Jack: I'm sure it's none of
my business, but is Nikki okay?
228
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:26,112
>> Victoria: That's one thing
we don't have to worry about.
229
00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:27,646
Claire is done with Jordan.
230
00:12:27,713 --> 00:12:29,849
This trip made that very clear.
231
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:35,020
They're not gonna be teaming up
or posing any threat to us.
232
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,256
>> Victor: I want you to proceed
with caution, okay?
233
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:38,190
>> Victoria: I will, Daddy.
234
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:40,059
Absolutely, I will.
235
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:42,595
But I want you to promise me
that you're not gonna hold
236
00:12:42,661 --> 00:12:43,796
any grudges against her.
237
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:44,797
>> Victor: No, I won't.
238
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,599
>> Victoria: Claire's not
to blame for Jordan's
239
00:12:46,665 --> 00:12:47,700
manipulations and her abuse.
240
00:12:47,766 --> 00:12:49,435
I've let that go, all right?
241
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,237
I wish you would too.
242
00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:53,172
>> Victor: What do you think
about the treatment she's
243
00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:53,973
getting at Memorial?
244
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:56,142
Do you think she's
in the right unit?
245
00:12:56,208 --> 00:12:58,477
>> Victoria: I honestly
don't know.
246
00:12:58,544 --> 00:13:02,948
I mean, she's an adult,
so her sessions are private.
247
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:04,517
[ sighs ] Dad, I don't know.
248
00:13:04,583 --> 00:13:08,754
This is just all just
new territory for all of us.
249
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:11,824
We're just a little lost,
I guess.
250
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:13,993
>> Victor: Well, at least Cole
seems to be
251
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:16,795
a rather steady ally.
252
00:13:16,862 --> 00:13:21,033
By the way, how does it feel to,
you know, have him in your life
253
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:22,902
again after all these years?
254
00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:28,507
>> Phyllis: When we kissed just
now, you were hardly
255
00:13:28,574 --> 00:13:29,508
a pillar of stone.
256
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:32,211
You kissed me back.
257
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:34,914
You didn't push me away
and you could have.
258
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:37,683
That should tell you something.
259
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:40,152
>> Danny: You caught me off
guard. It won't happen again.
260
00:13:40,219 --> 00:13:41,253
>> Phyllis: Really?
261
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,289
You're gonna stand here
and tell me that was nothing?
262
00:13:43,355 --> 00:13:44,256
>> Danny: This is pointless.
263
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:45,424
>> Phyllis: I beg to differ.
264
00:13:45,491 --> 00:13:47,426
>> Danny: Look, would you just
forget the kiss, all right?
265
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:48,727
That's the least of it.
266
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:51,263
Posting that video online,
suggesting that we're
267
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:52,031
romantically involved?
268
00:13:52,097 --> 00:13:53,098
That was way out of line.
269
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:55,701
>> Phyllis: Are you kidding me
right now? Really?
270
00:13:55,768 --> 00:13:58,037
You're a rock star.
271
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:02,241
People post videos of you
all the time, Danny.
272
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,544
Walking down the street,
eating at a restaurant.
273
00:14:05,611 --> 00:14:09,014
As long as it's respectful,
it's fine.
274
00:14:09,081 --> 00:14:12,084
Or maybe this is about
something else.
275
00:14:12,151 --> 00:14:13,919
Is it?
276
00:14:13,986 --> 00:14:16,855
Is it about
your precious Christine?
277
00:14:16,922 --> 00:14:19,725
That you want her to feel safe,
and I feel--
278
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:22,127
>> Danny: Wrong.
279
00:14:22,194 --> 00:14:23,262
>> Phyllis: Excuse me?
280
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:28,334
>> Danny: This isn't gonna work.
281
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,902
It doesn't feel good.
282
00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:33,739
It doesn't feel right.
283
00:14:33,806 --> 00:14:39,178
Maybe some version of friends,
for Daniel's sake, but...
284
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:42,314
anything else, no.
285
00:14:42,381 --> 00:14:43,215
Never.
286
00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:44,343
>> Danny: Hey, gorgeous.
287
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:45,611
Boy, am I glad to see you.
288
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:46,645
>> Christine: Oh, wait.
289
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:49,448
What, did Phyllis get called
away on an emergency?
290
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:53,986
Is that why you suddenly
have free time?
291
00:15:54,053 --> 00:15:56,989
[ Danny sighs ]
>> Danny: You saw the ridiculous
292
00:15:57,056 --> 00:15:58,157
video of me at the piano.
293
00:15:58,223 --> 00:15:59,224
>> Christine: Even better.
294
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,727
I saw the two of you live
and in person downstairs.
295
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:08,067
>> Danny: Now, look,
what you saw...
296
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:10,035
Phyllis tried to set me up.
297
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:12,571
Okay? Just-- just listen, okay?
298
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:16,075
I have--
I've seen the change in her.
299
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:18,744
At least I thought I had.
300
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:21,046
But then she just steps right
back into her same messy
301
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:22,581
patterns and you were right.
302
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:25,417
You were right when you told me
that she was gonna come after me
303
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:28,420
to get to you, and this video,
it's just proving that
304
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:34,126
she just wants to needle you,
and hey...
305
00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:37,629
I was so foolish, all right?
306
00:16:37,696 --> 00:16:40,532
To-- to give her
the benefit of the doubt.
307
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:44,103
But just now I'm gonna tell you,
I made it very clear to her.
308
00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:46,271
I said, "Look,
this has got to stop."
309
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,741
I'm not-- I'm not taking part
in this competition of hers.
310
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:51,443
>> Christine: Danny,
I saw the kiss.
311
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:56,815
It didn't look to me
like you were set up at all.
312
00:16:56,882 --> 00:17:00,119
>> Victoria: Cole is--
He's a wonderful man.
313
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:02,821
Yeah, I mean,
he's a little quiet at first,
314
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:06,291
but he's very calm
and reassuring and he--
315
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:07,726
he cares about Claire, Daddy.
316
00:17:07,793 --> 00:17:11,630
He-- he feels the same
connection to her that I do.
317
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:14,299
>> Victor: Seems the two of you
have had some
318
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:15,534
important conversations.
319
00:17:15,601 --> 00:17:17,403
>> Victoria: Well, yes, because
we're the only two people
320
00:17:17,469 --> 00:17:19,905
who understands how this feels.
321
00:17:19,972 --> 00:17:23,275
I mean, so I understand why
he wants to see this through.
322
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:26,945
Because I want the same thing.
323
00:17:27,012 --> 00:17:29,081
>> Victor: But you know,
you both have put your lives
324
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:35,020
on hold, so that will have
some ripple effects.
325
00:17:35,087 --> 00:17:41,827
>> Victoria: Do you miss me
at Newman?
326
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,796
>> Victor: What do you think?
327
00:17:43,862 --> 00:17:45,697
>> Victoria: So, how is
everything working out
328
00:17:45,764 --> 00:17:47,833
with Nick and Adam?
329
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,935
>> Victor: Working out
all right.
330
00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:52,371
That's a decision
I had to make on the fly.
331
00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:54,306
>> Victoria: Dad,
is that a reprimand?
332
00:17:54,373 --> 00:17:56,909
Because I thought you were on
board when I announced that
333
00:17:56,975 --> 00:17:58,143
I was taking a leave of absence?
334
00:17:58,210 --> 00:17:59,344
You're not upset with me?
335
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:01,847
>> Victor: Sweetheart, I fully
understand that you have to be
336
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:03,549
there for Claire, okay?
337
00:18:03,615 --> 00:18:07,052
And I want you to know
that you obviously are,
338
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,722
obviously, an invaluable part
of Newman Enterprises.
339
00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:12,057
You always will be.
340
00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:13,158
>> Victoria: Thank you.
341
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:15,561
It's good to know that I can
take the time without it
342
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:18,931
disrupting the business.
343
00:18:18,997 --> 00:18:22,134
>> Victor: I'm gonna tell
you something.
344
00:18:22,201 --> 00:18:24,203
I've lived a little longer
than you have.
345
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:27,005
I've always found that whenever
I was stressed,
346
00:18:27,072 --> 00:18:31,877
it's just good to get away
to work, you know? Really.
347
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,245
>> Victoria: Oh, yeah, sure.
348
00:18:33,312 --> 00:18:34,279
No pressure.
349
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:37,049
>> Victor: No. No, no.
350
00:18:37,115 --> 00:18:39,218
>> Victoria: You know, Dad,
the more that I think about this
351
00:18:39,284 --> 00:18:42,120
journey that Claire's on,
the more that I know I have to
352
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:44,723
be a part of every minute of it.
353
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,391
>> Nikki: Oh! Oh, Victoria.
354
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:50,229
I-- I didn't realize
you would be here.
355
00:18:54,233 --> 00:18:56,134
>> Jack: I don't mean
to put you on the spot.
356
00:18:56,201 --> 00:18:59,505
If this is private
or it's none of my business, but
357
00:18:59,571 --> 00:19:02,975
if Nikki's in trouble,
I'd like to help.
358
00:19:03,041 --> 00:19:05,110
>> Lauren: You're a good friend,
Jack.
359
00:19:05,177 --> 00:19:08,547
>> Jack: To you and Nikki,
I hope.
360
00:19:08,614 --> 00:19:10,883
>> Lauren: You know,
Michael is out of town and
361
00:19:10,949 --> 00:19:13,285
I could really use some advice.
362
00:19:13,352 --> 00:19:16,255
>> Jack: Any way I can help.
363
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:19,358
>> Lauren: But what I'm about
to share with you is strictly
364
00:19:19,424 --> 00:19:21,360
between the two of us.
365
00:19:21,426 --> 00:19:23,929
Can I trust you with that kind
of confidentiality?
366
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:28,233
>> Jack: Absolutely. Always.
367
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:30,636
>> Lauren: Nikki is in trouble.
368
00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:33,238
And I'm in over my head.
369
00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:35,908
You have been down this road
yourself, and you will
370
00:19:35,974 --> 00:19:40,579
understand, and I know
you won't pass judgment.
371
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:45,584
>> Jack: Nikki is drinking
again, isn't she?
372
00:19:45,651 --> 00:19:48,353
>> Lauren: Uh, I think we should
talk about this privately.
373
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:49,421
>> Jack: Uh, yeah.
374
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:51,456
Can you meet at my house
right now?
375
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:52,524
>> Lauren: Yes. Yes, absolutely.
376
00:19:52,591 --> 00:19:53,325
>> Jack: Good.
377
00:19:53,392 --> 00:19:54,326
I will see you there.
378
00:19:54,393 --> 00:19:55,894
>> Lauren: Okay.
379
00:20:06,171 --> 00:20:08,774
>> Victor: Baby...
380
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,143
you seem agitated.
381
00:20:11,209 --> 00:20:13,812
>> Nikki: Yeah, I--
I suppose I am.
382
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,582
>> Victor: Did something happen?
383
00:20:16,648 --> 00:20:21,353
>> Nikki: I ran into Seth,
my sponsor,
384
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:25,290
and he didn't seem himself
and I think I know why.
385
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:27,292
I think he's been
drinking again.
386
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,361
>> Victoria: Do you know
for a fact he's been drinking
387
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:30,295
or are you just projecting?
388
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:31,363
>> Nikki: I know the signs.
389
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:33,131
>> Victoria: I'm not saying
that you don't, Mom.
390
00:20:33,198 --> 00:20:36,368
>> Nikki: And I am so afraid
that I drove him to it.
391
00:20:36,435 --> 00:20:38,770
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
stop it right now.
392
00:20:38,837 --> 00:20:41,006
That's not how it works
and you know it.
393
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:42,240
>> Victoria: Yeah, Dad's right.
394
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:43,709
You don't have that power.
395
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:46,078
Not over alcohol or anyone else.
396
00:20:46,144 --> 00:20:47,980
>> Victor: Victoria's right.
397
00:20:48,046 --> 00:20:51,683
You're not responsible for his
behavior and he's not for yours.
398
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:52,985
You told me that yourself.
399
00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:54,186
>> Nikki: I know.
400
00:20:54,252 --> 00:20:56,588
And I know our circumstances
are completely different.
401
00:20:56,655 --> 00:20:57,389
I know that too.
402
00:20:57,456 --> 00:20:59,024
>> Victor: Yes.
403
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:01,126
They put a needle in your veins.
404
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:04,029
>> Nikki: And I did not ask
for the vodka
405
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:08,634
to be injected into my system,
But I did buy
406
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:10,135
the pint afterward.
407
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:11,370
I have the flask.
408
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:13,372
I took the drink.
409
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:18,310
Yes, I had a trigger,
but so did Seth.
410
00:21:18,377 --> 00:21:20,746
And I am his trigger.
411
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:28,253
>> Jack: Can I get you anything?
412
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,588
>> Lauren: No, thank you.
413
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:30,956
I'm fine.
414
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:33,291
>> Jack: Yeah, but Nikki's not.
415
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:34,860
>> Lauren: No.
416
00:21:34,926 --> 00:21:38,397
To answer your question from
before, she's drinking again.
417
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:41,667
>> Jack: Oh, I couldn't be
sorrier about that.
418
00:21:41,733 --> 00:21:44,302
Any idea what started it
this time?
419
00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:46,405
>> Lauren: You know,
I don't have all the details,
420
00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:49,141
but it's awful and sordid.
421
00:21:49,207 --> 00:21:52,611
There was this vile,
vengeful woman
422
00:21:52,678 --> 00:21:55,881
who forced alcohol on her
and now her addiction
423
00:21:55,947 --> 00:21:58,316
is in full force
through no fault of her own.
424
00:21:58,383 --> 00:22:01,053
>> Jack: Poor Nikki. She has
been clean for a long time.
425
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,287
>> Lauren: Years.
426
00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:04,456
She is devastated.
427
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:06,825
Shame comes off of her in waves.
428
00:22:06,892 --> 00:22:09,528
>> Jack: So, you say
you're trying to support her
429
00:22:09,594 --> 00:22:12,731
and that's all anyone
can really do from the outside.
430
00:22:12,798 --> 00:22:16,068
Why do you say
you're in over your head?
431
00:22:16,134 --> 00:22:21,239
>> Lauren: Because Nikki thinks
her sponsor is drinking again.
432
00:22:21,306 --> 00:22:23,442
>> Jack: Wow. Oh, boy.
433
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:25,444
>> Lauren: And that it's
her fault.
434
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,879
As if watching her struggle
has caused him to break
435
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:28,880
his sobriety.
436
00:22:28,947 --> 00:22:32,084
>> Jack: Yeah. They call that
stinking thinking.
437
00:22:32,150 --> 00:22:34,986
You're absolutely convinced
things will only get worse.
438
00:22:35,053 --> 00:22:37,022
The downward spiral is intense.
439
00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:39,958
It's amazing how quickly
it takes hold once the booze
440
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:41,560
is in control again.
441
00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:44,529
>> Lauren: She's overwhelmed
with shame and guilt
442
00:22:44,596 --> 00:22:47,532
and I've told her she's not
responsible for his actions.
443
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:50,068
>> Jack: No, she can't see that
at this point, not while she's
444
00:22:50,135 --> 00:22:52,170
still in the throes herself.
445
00:22:52,237 --> 00:22:55,574
>> Lauren: So, if logic isn't
working and if everything that
446
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,543
she knows from the big book
isn't getting through to her,
447
00:22:58,610 --> 00:22:59,745
I'm at a loss.
448
00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:03,014
I mean, I'm trying to stay
close to her, but not hover.
449
00:23:03,081 --> 00:23:04,116
She won't stand for that.
450
00:23:04,182 --> 00:23:06,218
I mean, you saw. Tonight,
she was adamant
451
00:23:06,284 --> 00:23:07,486
that I not drive her home.
452
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:10,021
>> Jack: Is that because Victor
doesn't know and she's worried
453
00:23:10,088 --> 00:23:11,389
about tipping him off?
454
00:23:11,456 --> 00:23:14,292
>> Lauren: No, he knows, and
he's involved as much as he can.
455
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,928
>> Jack: Well, that's
a good thing.
456
00:23:16,995 --> 00:23:19,131
>> Lauren: She's mortified.
457
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:20,932
She doesn't want to be a burden.
458
00:23:20,999 --> 00:23:23,602
She doesn't want him
to see her at her worst.
459
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:25,837
And before you say
that's absurd, I'm just telling
460
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:26,705
you how she feels.
461
00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:28,740
>> Jack: But he's helped her
in the past.
462
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:31,743
I realize I'm preaching
to the choir here.
463
00:23:31,810 --> 00:23:35,313
>> Lauren: Nikki needs someone
who's been an addict
464
00:23:35,380 --> 00:23:37,616
to give her real support.
465
00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:41,153
Real support her sponsor
should be giving her
466
00:23:41,219 --> 00:23:44,823
while actively working
his own recovery.
467
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:48,059
But if Nikki's right
and Seth is drinking,
468
00:23:48,126 --> 00:23:50,695
he is the last person
she should be talking to.
469
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:58,904
>> Jack: You're asking me
to step in, aren't you?
470
00:23:58,970 --> 00:24:00,872
>> Danny: You know how Phyllis
can be when she's
471
00:24:00,939 --> 00:24:01,740
after something.
472
00:24:01,807 --> 00:24:03,708
>> Christine: Yeah,
utterly relentless.
473
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:05,210
Is that your excuse?
474
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:08,146
That she wore you down
with her questionable charms?
475
00:24:08,213 --> 00:24:15,720
>> Danny: No, no, I--
Look, I didn't...
476
00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:20,025
If I'm guilty of anything,
it's being naive.
477
00:24:20,091 --> 00:24:24,462
And you were right, you know,
about her messy patterns and
478
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:26,198
motives, and-- and I was wrong.
479
00:24:26,264 --> 00:24:28,934
And-- and-- and I should have
set her straight when she first
480
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,236
started making eyes at me,
but part of me was thinking
481
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,605
that she would get the hint
and she would, you know,
482
00:24:33,672 --> 00:24:35,040
back off, but...
483
00:24:35,106 --> 00:24:37,776
I-- I didn't want to say
anything hurtful to her.
484
00:24:37,843 --> 00:24:40,245
>> Christine: No, no, you don't
wanna hurt Phyllis's feelings.
485
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:42,414
She's so delicate and fragile.
486
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,217
It still doesn't explain the
kiss or-- or was that your way
487
00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:46,518
of setting things straight?
488
00:24:46,585 --> 00:24:48,153
>> Danny: Christine--
>> Christine: You know what?
489
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:50,055
On second thought, it doesn't
matter, okay?
490
00:24:50,121 --> 00:24:51,790
I'm not gonna play this game.
491
00:24:51,857 --> 00:24:54,593
I have zero interest
in competing with Phyllis
492
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:56,962
for your attention and I--
I know you're used to this
493
00:24:57,028 --> 00:24:59,631
being on the road and with fans,
and maybe-- maybe it's something
494
00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:04,236
you like, but it's just not
a road I wanna go down.
495
00:25:04,302 --> 00:25:06,338
[ phone chiming ]
>> Danny: Hey...
496
00:25:20,418 --> 00:25:23,288
can we just go someplace,
just the two of us, and talk?
497
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,656
>> Christine: I don't think so.
498
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:26,391
No.
499
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:29,694
You need to figure out
what the hell you want.
500
00:25:29,761 --> 00:25:32,330
And you need to do that
without me.
501
00:25:38,336 --> 00:25:40,839
>> Danny: I know what I want.
502
00:25:40,906 --> 00:25:42,641
I want you.
503
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:44,509
>> Christine: Do you?
504
00:25:44,576 --> 00:25:47,245
I mean, do you really want
either of us, or is it just too
505
00:25:47,312 --> 00:25:48,747
much fun being in the middle?
506
00:25:48,813 --> 00:25:51,016
>> Danny: No, this is not fun.
507
00:25:51,082 --> 00:25:52,851
Cricket, you know me better
than that.
508
00:25:52,918 --> 00:25:55,020
>> Christine: Or is it because
you got caught?
509
00:25:55,086 --> 00:25:57,923
If you want to be with Phyllis,
it's fine.
510
00:25:57,989 --> 00:26:02,827
I mean, it-- it's crazy,
but it's fine.
511
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:05,263
Okay? It's-- it's your choice
to make.
512
00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:08,333
You have to make it.
513
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,539
Because the kiss I witnessed
tells me you're not sure.
514
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:26,851
>> Victor: Well, sweetheart,
I'm sorry you have to go through
515
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:29,988
all this torment again.
516
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:34,092
It may seem right now as if
it's really all happening,
517
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:35,860
but it is not.
518
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:39,531
Although in the moment,
you feel it is.
519
00:26:39,597 --> 00:26:41,099
>> Nikki: Thank you
for understanding.
520
00:26:41,166 --> 00:26:42,100
>> Victoria: You know what?
521
00:26:42,167 --> 00:26:43,802
Maybe you just need a good
night's rest, and then
522
00:26:43,868 --> 00:26:45,403
in the morning--
>> Nikki: I don't think
523
00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:46,237
that I was overreacting.
524
00:26:46,304 --> 00:26:48,740
I don't believe that I was,
Victoria.
525
00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:51,943
And as much as I would like
to detach from this,
526
00:26:52,010 --> 00:26:55,013
I am worried about Seth.
527
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,116
I mean, they call AA a support
group for a reason.
528
00:26:58,183 --> 00:27:01,152
Because we look after
each other.
529
00:27:01,219 --> 00:27:03,588
And on the way home,
I reached out to him.
530
00:27:03,655 --> 00:27:04,756
No response.
531
00:27:04,823 --> 00:27:07,459
He normally answers right away
or he calls me back
532
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:08,560
within 15 minutes.
533
00:27:08,626 --> 00:27:10,895
>> Victoria: Well, he could be
busy, Mom. He could be
534
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:15,166
at a movie or dinner.
535
00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:17,402
>> Nikki: All right,
I-- I'll give it more time.
536
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:26,945
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
I think that's wise.
537
00:27:27,012 --> 00:27:29,147
>> Nina: Is it my imagination,
or are you just
538
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:30,682
a big ball of tension?
539
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:32,650
>> Christine: It's been one of
those nights.
540
00:27:32,717 --> 00:27:36,154
>> Nina: Oh, well, I was
considering something red.
541
00:27:36,221 --> 00:27:37,455
>> Christine: Uh, yeah, please.
542
00:27:37,522 --> 00:27:39,524
>> Nina: Um, excuse me,
can we have two glasses
543
00:27:39,591 --> 00:27:40,825
of house cabernet, please?
544
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:42,193
Thanks.
545
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:44,095
So, talk to me.
546
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:45,764
[ sighs ]
>> Christine: Well, first of
547
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:48,433
all, can I just say how grateful
I am that you're back in town
548
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,035
and that you're up so late?
549
00:27:50,101 --> 00:27:50,935
>> Nina: Oh, is it?
550
00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:51,603
I don't know.
551
00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:52,971
I'm on California time.
552
00:27:53,038 --> 00:27:54,105
I'm wide awake.
553
00:27:54,172 --> 00:27:56,207
>> Christine: Okay, good,
'cause this might take a while
554
00:27:56,274 --> 00:27:58,910
or I might just scream
at the top of my lungs
555
00:27:58,977 --> 00:27:59,878
and let it all out.
556
00:27:59,944 --> 00:28:01,579
>> Nina: Oh, wow.
557
00:28:01,646 --> 00:28:05,050
Something's really
got you going. Is it...
558
00:28:05,116 --> 00:28:06,384
Is it Paul?
559
00:28:06,451 --> 00:28:07,419
Did you hear from him?
560
00:28:07,485 --> 00:28:08,353
>> Christine: Oh, no.
561
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:10,522
Other than some generic
Christmas card, no.
562
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:13,191
I-- I don't expect to.
563
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:15,393
>> Nina: Well, that just leaves
Danny, and you guys were gonna
564
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:17,262
spend the holidays together
last time we spoke.
565
00:28:17,328 --> 00:28:19,130
>> Christine: Yeah, we had
a great Christmas.
566
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:20,965
>> Nina: Oh, good,
New Year's?
567
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:22,100
>> Christine: Even better.
568
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:23,168
And-- Thank you.
569
00:28:23,234 --> 00:28:26,571
We had in the books to go away
on a romantic getaway
570
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:30,208
this weekend, which is now
on an indefinite hold.
571
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:33,011
>> Nina: So, I'm sorry,
what am I missing?
572
00:28:33,078 --> 00:28:34,813
>> Christine: Not what.
573
00:28:34,879 --> 00:28:35,847
Who.
574
00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:37,449
>> Nina: Oh.
575
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:39,884
I only know one person who can
put that look in your eye.
576
00:28:39,951 --> 00:28:41,586
Like you could actually
commit murder.
577
00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:44,022
>> Christine: I tell you, I was
so close to just diving in,
578
00:28:44,089 --> 00:28:46,424
seeing where things would go
with Danny.
579
00:28:46,491 --> 00:28:49,394
I should have known better
than to trust his feelings
580
00:28:49,461 --> 00:28:51,029
with Phyllis in the mix.
581
00:28:51,096 --> 00:28:52,430
>> Nina: Whoa, no.
582
00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:53,398
Danny and Phyllis?
583
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:54,833
There's no way.
584
00:28:54,899 --> 00:28:56,301
>> Christine: Not yet, but...
585
00:28:56,367 --> 00:28:58,103
I don't know,
it seems like it's possible
586
00:28:58,169 --> 00:29:01,439
and I'll be damned if I'm gonna
sit by and watch that happen.
587
00:29:01,506 --> 00:29:03,975
>> Nina: Okay, so just back up.
588
00:29:04,042 --> 00:29:05,043
I need details here.
589
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:05,977
>> Christine: Sorry.
590
00:29:06,044 --> 00:29:07,679
Okay, earlier tonight,
she posted this video
591
00:29:07,745 --> 00:29:09,414
of Danny playing her a song.
592
00:29:09,481 --> 00:29:13,785
And she captioned it,
"That feeling when your ex
593
00:29:13,852 --> 00:29:15,420
plays you a love song."
594
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:17,522
>> Nina: Oh, jeez.
595
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:18,990
The nerve on her.
596
00:29:19,057 --> 00:29:20,792
Making it sound like
she and he are--
597
00:29:20,859 --> 00:29:21,860
>> Christine: Okay, but hold on.
598
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:23,428
It gets worse.
599
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:26,297
I was able to see from the video
that they were at
600
00:29:26,364 --> 00:29:29,767
the jazz lounge,
so I went to go find Danny.
601
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:30,735
>> Nina: And?
602
00:29:30,802 --> 00:29:34,839
>> Christine: And I found Danny
with Phyllis,
603
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:38,076
attached at the lips.
604
00:29:38,143 --> 00:29:39,911
>> Nina: Nah, come on.
605
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:41,746
Time out.
606
00:29:41,813 --> 00:29:42,847
>> Christine: They were kissing.
607
00:29:42,914 --> 00:29:45,650
Yes. Yes.
608
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:46,985
>> Nina: Did they see you?
609
00:29:47,051 --> 00:29:50,555
>> Christine: No, I-- I turned
around and got out of there.
610
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,891
>> Nina: Okay, let's just
take a step back here.
611
00:29:52,957 --> 00:29:54,759
This is Phyllis
that we're talking about,
612
00:29:54,826 --> 00:29:55,727
all right?
613
00:29:55,793 --> 00:29:58,930
I mean, she could have staged
the whole thing.
614
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:00,732
It's exactly the kind of thing
that she would do.
615
00:30:00,798 --> 00:30:04,035
She would lure you with the
video and then kiss on cue.
616
00:30:04,102 --> 00:30:06,137
>> Christine: Okay, and timed it
to the exact second
617
00:30:06,204 --> 00:30:07,372
when I walked in the lounge?
618
00:30:07,438 --> 00:30:09,674
>> Nina: Maybe the timing was
luck, but I wouldn't put it
619
00:30:09,741 --> 00:30:10,341
past her.
620
00:30:10,408 --> 00:30:12,443
You know how conniving she is.
621
00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:15,146
I mean, she has no shame,
zero pride.
622
00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:17,882
I can totally see her
throwing herself at Danny
623
00:30:17,949 --> 00:30:20,985
and then making you nuts
in the process.
624
00:30:21,052 --> 00:30:24,022
>> Christine: I don't know.
625
00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:25,356
It's an interesting theory.
626
00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:31,462
It's just--
There's just one thing.
627
00:30:31,529 --> 00:30:35,033
You didn't see the way
he kissed her back.
628
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:42,807
>> Lauren: If you're willing
to put the time in?
629
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:45,143
>> Jack: There's nothing
I wouldn't do for Nikki.
630
00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:46,844
>> Lauren: I was hoping
you'd say that.
631
00:30:46,911 --> 00:30:48,613
I don't think there'd be
anyone better.
632
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,181
>> Jack: Yeah, there is
one caveat though.
633
00:30:50,248 --> 00:30:52,850
I saw the look she gave you when
she left us at the coffeehouse.
634
00:30:52,917 --> 00:30:55,787
She does not want me to know
what's going on.
635
00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:57,789
>> Lauren: Well, she's given me
no choice.
636
00:30:57,855 --> 00:31:00,358
I mean, she doesn't want
Victor worrying, and I can't
637
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:04,095
imagine that she would reach out
to anyone else in AA because of
638
00:31:04,162 --> 00:31:05,663
the terrible guilt
she's carrying.
639
00:31:05,730 --> 00:31:07,799
>> Jack: Yeah, but I don't want
to jeopardize your very
640
00:31:07,865 --> 00:31:09,033
important relationship with her.
641
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:11,436
She needs to know
she can confide in you.
642
00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:13,905
I don't know how I can offer
to help her without bringing you
643
00:31:13,972 --> 00:31:15,206
into it.
644
00:31:15,273 --> 00:31:19,143
>> Lauren: I really appreciate
you wanting to protect me. Uh...
645
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:22,447
So, maybe you ask to spend
some time with her
646
00:31:22,513 --> 00:31:24,382
and an opportunity will arise.
647
00:31:24,449 --> 00:31:26,851
>> Jack: Yeah, and given our
history, the subject may well
648
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:30,121
come up on its own.
649
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:31,656
It's worth a shot.
650
00:31:33,891 --> 00:31:38,229
>> Victor: You know their
presentation was very sound.
651
00:31:38,296 --> 00:31:41,332
>> Nikki: Well, that's good.
652
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,202
>> Victor: Well, if you had
asked me before if Nicholas and
653
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:47,505
Adam would get along together
and work together,
654
00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:49,374
I would have doubted it,
but I'm very pleased
655
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,043
with the outcome so far.
656
00:31:52,110 --> 00:31:53,911
>> Nikki: Well,
I've never trusted Adam.
657
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:57,048
I doubt that I ever will,
but if they're getting along,
658
00:31:57,115 --> 00:31:57,982
great.
659
00:31:58,049 --> 00:31:59,250
>> Victor: Yeah.
660
00:31:59,317 --> 00:32:01,786
>> Nikki: I'm more concerned
about Victoria.
661
00:32:01,853 --> 00:32:03,321
How did things go with Claire?
662
00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:06,324
Was she able to hold her own
against Jordan?
663
00:32:06,391 --> 00:32:09,861
>> Victor: That whole thing
has concerned me a lot.
664
00:32:09,927 --> 00:32:13,398
But Victoria thought that it was
cathartic for Claire
665
00:32:13,464 --> 00:32:17,201
to meet with her aunt and get
this whole sorry subject
666
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:19,037
done with, you know?
667
00:32:19,103 --> 00:32:21,806
She was happy with the outcome.
668
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:25,176
>> Nikki: Well, thank God,
because things could have gone
669
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:27,045
a different way.
670
00:32:27,111 --> 00:32:29,147
>> Victor: Oh, yeah.
671
00:32:29,213 --> 00:32:33,451
But I have to say,
I trust Victoria's instincts.
672
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:35,019
She's tough.
673
00:32:35,086 --> 00:32:38,556
She knows what she's doing.
674
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:41,192
And she'll work it out.
675
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:46,964
[ phone chimes ]
>> Nikki: Oh, it's from Seth.
676
00:32:47,031 --> 00:32:50,168
"Sorry it took so long
to get back to you.
677
00:32:50,234 --> 00:32:51,703
Are you okay?
678
00:32:51,769 --> 00:32:54,372
Do you need help?"
>> Victor: Wait a minute,
679
00:32:54,439 --> 00:32:55,640
sweetheart.
680
00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:57,675
This the Seth character?
681
00:32:57,742 --> 00:32:58,509
>> Nikki: Yes.
682
00:32:58,576 --> 00:33:00,144
>> Victor: Well, don't
answer him.
683
00:33:00,211 --> 00:33:01,279
>> Nikki: Why not?
684
00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:03,915
>> Victor: Sweetheart, if it
is true what you're saying,
685
00:33:03,981 --> 00:33:05,616
then he broke his sobriety.
686
00:33:05,683 --> 00:33:07,785
He shouldn't be your sponsor.
687
00:33:07,852 --> 00:33:09,954
Don't be in contact with him.
688
00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:12,557
Call AA, have them find
another sponsor for you.
689
00:33:12,623 --> 00:33:14,225
Let them deal with it.
690
00:33:19,197 --> 00:33:22,934
>> Nina: Well, if Danny
was into it, uh,
691
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,136
that adds a whole new wrinkle.
692
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:27,538
>> Christine: Either he's got
feelings for Phyllis that he's
693
00:33:27,605 --> 00:33:30,208
having trouble fighting or...
694
00:33:30,274 --> 00:33:35,179
he's so weak that she's got
him wrapped around her finger.
695
00:33:35,246 --> 00:33:41,753
Look, either way,
I refuse to get hurt again.
696
00:33:41,819 --> 00:33:53,564
So, I'm just gonna end things
before I get in any deeper.
697
00:33:53,631 --> 00:33:59,036
>> Phyllis: What's bugging
the bug?
698
00:33:59,103 --> 00:34:02,173
>> Danny: You went too far,
Phyllis.
699
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,942
>> Phyllis: Excuse me?
700
00:34:05,009 --> 00:34:09,547
>> Danny: Leave me alone
and just let me live my life.
701
00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:11,115
>> Phyllis: Danny, come on.
702
00:34:11,182 --> 00:34:12,717
>> Danny: No, we're done.
703
00:34:12,784 --> 00:34:13,985
>> Phyllis: We're done?
704
00:34:14,051 --> 00:34:14,652
Really?
705
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,654
What does that even mean?
706
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:18,322
We share a son, a granddaughter.
707
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:19,223
We have a family.
708
00:34:19,290 --> 00:34:21,659
>> Danny: We're nothing.
709
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:24,228
Not after tonight.
710
00:34:24,295 --> 00:34:26,731
And I wish you the very best.
711
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:28,699
I sincerely do.
712
00:34:28,766 --> 00:34:32,003
But we have no relationship
after tonight.
713
00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:36,007
No, not in any form.
714
00:34:36,073 --> 00:34:39,477
You just might have blown
the only future I have
715
00:34:39,544 --> 00:34:40,411
with Christine.
716
00:34:40,478 --> 00:34:42,680
>> Phyllis: Mm.
717
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:45,416
You wouldn't be so angry
if you weren't conflicted.
718
00:34:45,483 --> 00:34:46,784
>> Danny: Enough, okay?
719
00:34:46,851 --> 00:34:48,486
Enough.
720
00:34:48,553 --> 00:34:50,154
Just leave me alone.
721
