[ Tucker sighs ] >> Tucker: Oh, man.
What's that smile for?
>> Audra: I'm happy. >> Tucker: Are you happy?
>> Audra: Mm-hmm. >> Tucker: That makes me happy.
What if I were to tell you that you're about
to get even happier? >> Audra: Mm. I'd say that
I doubt that's even possible. But don't let me stop you
from trying. >> Tucker: I have a surprise
for you. >> Audra: Ooh, I love surprises.
What is it? >> Tucker: Guess.
>> Audra: Hm... Is it something sparkly?
>> Tucker: Not yet. [ Tucker laughs ]
>> Audra: Oh. >> Tucker: Sorry.
>> Audra: What about... yacht? >> Tucker: Closer.
>> Audra: Okay. So, if yacht is closer...
travel? >> Tucker: Warmer. Keep going.
>> Audra: Plane tickets? >> Tucker: Bingo.
>> Audra: You're right, I-- You know what?
I am happier. Where are we going?
>> Jack: How you doing, Ash?
>> Ashley: I'm better. >> Jack: Times like these, I--
I wish Dad was still around. He was so much better at
comforting you than I am. >> Ashley: I always
wished Dad was around. But don't sell yourself short.
You did great. >> Jack: Yeah,
it doesn't feel like it. >> Ashley: You did.
Absolutely. You just listened.
You comforted me and you didn't judge me.
You reminded me that you and Traci are always there for me no
matter what, through anything. >> Jack: That is one
thing the three of us can always count on.
Together, we can conquer anything.
>> Ashley: That's the truth. >> Jack: I know what Dad
would do for you now. >> Ashley: What?
>> Jack: Bring his beauty a cup of tea.
>> Ashley: He would. You're right.
>> Jack: Yeah, you stay right here.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Kyle: Mom, you and Dad were in a meeting.
Not taking calls. R&D needed a decision
immediately, I made it. Exact same decision
you would have made. So, we're all good.
>> Diane: I appreciate your quick reaction time, Kyle, but
it wasn't your decision to make. You are the Chief Operating
Officer, not the Co-CEO. That's my job.
>> Kyle: Yep, I'm well aware. >> Diane: No,
I'm-- I'm not sure you are. This isn't the first time that
you've tried too hard, and I think we need to deal with it.
>> Kyle: Well, I... >> Ashley: Hello, you two.
♪♪♪
>> Nikki: This could work, don't you see?
I am sick of cowering around here, waiting for her to come at
me with a butcher knife with that smirk of hers.
Jordan thinks she has all the power.
It's time for me to let her know, she's wrong.
>> Victor: And how the hell do you propose to do that,
sweetheart? By pushing her buttons?
What does that mean? >> Nikki: She can't help herself
from coming after me. She thinks that she is
stronger than I am. Well, one more taunt
and I can lure her right out into the open.
>> Victor: I won't have it. I will not allow you
to endanger your sobriety and risk your life.
>> Victoria: Would you please just listen to him, Mom?
She's a vicious, uncontrollable monster.
She's already proven that she'll stop at nothing
to try to get to you. >> Victor: Sweetheart, she
burned down an entire prison. Killed a lot of people
in the process. What are you not getting?
>> Nikki: So, what do you suggest I do?
Sit around here and let her keep torturing me?
That's like she's already won. >> Victor: Sweetheart, just
don't answer the damn phone. Don't let her affect you again
the way she did earlier. >> Victoria: I can't
even imagine how shaken up you must have been.
>> Nikki: Oh, yes, I was. As soon as I hung up,
my first impulse was to run, not walk, to a bottle.
>> Victoria: Oh, Mom, please tell me that you didn't.
>> Nikki: No, no, I didn't, darling. Your father made sure
that wasn't an option. And thanks to Lauren and Jack,
I didn't go looking elsewhere. But they talked me through it
as soon as I called. Jack was here in a heartbeat to
remind me how important my sobriety is.
>> Victoria: What about the next time that Jordan terrorizes
you and Jack isn't around? >> Victor: And what if
Jack Abbott happens to be here and doesn't prevent you
from taking another drink? >> Nikki: He's not a jailer,
Victor. He's a sponsor. We work
through these things together. It's not just a matter of
me avoiding alcohol. There's so much more to it.
>> Victor: Well, I'm not so sure.
>> Nikki: And please stop second-guessing Jack.
And me, for that matter. I have to feel that I have
control over something. And taking on Jordan
will give me a goal, something to focus on,
so that I can destroy her once and for all.
>> Victoria: Unless something goes wrong and she finds some
other way to get to you. >> Nikki: I won't let
that happen. >> Victor: Well, neither will I.
I promise you that. But, sweetheart, do I need
to remind you that last time you thought
you could control situations, Jordan controlled you.
She almost killed you. >> Nikki: Well, I'm still here,
getting stronger every minute. >> Victoria: Please tell me
there's something we can say to talk you out of this?
[ cell phone buzzes ]
Is that her? >> Victor: Let me have
that phone, please. >> Nikki: Absolutely not.
I will handle this.
>> Kyle: How are you doing, Ashley?
>> Ashley: Not bad. How are you?
>> Kyle: Fine, thanks. Um. Hey,
Mom, Dad, and I were going to go to Society for dinner and I just
stopped by to check on Harrison. You should join us.
>> Jack: Yeah. >> Kyle: I'll be right back.
>> Jack: That's a great idea. >> Diane: I would love that.
>> Jack: Yeah, really think about it.
It would be a great distraction for you.
And, I hate to brag, but I have been told...
that I can be a charming dinner companion from time to time.
>> Diane: He's right. I've seen it.
>> Ashley: That's nice. Thank you for the invitation.
I'm a little beat. I think I'll just stay here
and rest. >> Jack: I wish
you'd reconsider. We'd have a lot more
fun if you came along. >> Ashley: Yeah,
because I'm so much fun. [ Ashley laughs ]
Um. It's very sweet of you to be concerned.
Um, but you don't need to supervise me.
>> Jack: It was a sincere invitation, truly.
I am not trying to supervise you.
>> Ashley: Oh, yeah, you are. You're exceptionally good at it.
Seriously. Um, you guys go eat, drink,
and be merry, and... bring me back some cheesecake.
>> Tucker: How do you feel about a little jaunt to Europe?
>> Audra: Ooh. >> Tucker: Mm.
Stop off in Paris. Maybe meet with the new board of
Glissade directors... check out some of those
other companies we're hoping to scoop up.
Party. >> Audra: Hm, let me see.
You and me, enthralling our board of directors, exploring
the sights and sounds of our new kingdom, together, hand in hand.
I love everything about this. >> Tucker: Yeah.
>> Audra: And I've missed Paris. If you're sure you want to go
back so soon after, you know. >> Tucker: Ah, hey.
If you think that I'm going to let Ashley Abbott,
or anyone for that matter, ruin that magnificent city for me,
you are grossly underestimating my powers of
selective perception. And you...
You would make the whole thing so new to me,
you know. You make everything your own.
You have with me. >> Audra: Either you're
giving me a hard sell--- >> Tucker: No, no, no, no.
I'm not selling anything. I'm telling you what
I should have told you a long time ago, Audra.
>> Audra: You mean it? >> Tucker: I mean it.
>> Audra: Well, you wanting us to take this trip together,
to Paris of all places. It's even more proof
that Ashley is really out of your system now.
She can't touch us. >> Tucker: She never could
touch us. It's just taken you
until now to realize it. >> Audra: Which means we're
unstoppable, you know? >> Tucker: Damn right, we are.
After everything we've been through...
and all these years of lying to ourselves about how we
felt about each other, I'm right where I want to be.
As close to you as possible.
>> Tucker: Here's a question for you.
Is ordering two cheeseburgers considered uncouth for
an insanely successful business mogul like me?
I'm famished. >> Audra: You know,
I've actually researched that. Insanely successful moguls
can have anything they want. >> Tucker: That's good,
because that's what I feel like. I feel
like I can have anything I want. I'm gonna have anything I want
because I've earned it. We've earned it.
You know what I'm feeling right now?
>> Audra: Mm, what? >> Tucker: Optimistic.
I feel optimistic, Audra. First time in months,
maybe longer. I mean, look at this.
Is this a dream? I'm standing here with
my best friend in the world, who also happens to be
the most beautiful woman, the best person I've ever known,
and my future with her is so bright, man, I've got to squint.
Are you with me on this? Huh? >> Audra: Every step of the way,
and I'm loving it. Mwah.
>> Tucker: Look out, world. There's a new power couple
in town! Hm.
[ Audra laughs ]
>> Jack: Call if you need me.
>> Ashley: I'm fine. Don't forget my cheesecake.
[ Jack laughs ] >> Jack: Come on, let's go.
Let's do it.
>> Ashley: I can't handle much more.
Breaking her down. Stop it. Don't be negative. I'm worried.
Oh, God. Shut up! Shut up!
Please shut up. Shut up.
>> Nikki: It's not Jordan. It's Seth, my former sponsor.
>> Victor: Well, don't answer him.
He has nothing to offer you. He failed you when you
last time needed him. You were desperate.
I'm saying he's probably calling now to apologize, to grovel.
>> Victoria: Yeah, to see if he can ease his own guilt by trying
to drag you down with him. >> Nikki: The poor man stumbled.
I can't hold that against him when I have done the same thing.
I mean, maybe he's reaching out for help.
Hello, Seth. >> Seth: Nikki,
thanks for answering. I-- I didn't know if you would.
>> Nikki: Well, to be honest, I-- I wasn't sure if I should.
Not because I don't still care about you.
I do, and I've been concerned about you.
I just didn't know if I should call.
>> Seth: Oh. Why? >> Nikki: I don't know.
I thought maybe you were upset that I needed space.
>> Seth: No, no, no, no. You--you had every right to push
me away, and I have no right to reach out to you, but I-- I
thought I should at least try. Just at least once.
>> Nikki: Well, I'm glad. How are you?
>> Seth: Uh, not-- not good. I-- I-- I need help.
>> Nikki: I'm sorry. >> Seth: No, I mean,
I really need help, Nikki. That's why I called.
Just to see if you could do for me what I couldn't do for you.
>> Nikki: You know I can't be your sponsor, Seth.
>> Seth: Yeah, of-- of course not.
That-- that came out wrong. Just, uh--
Look, this was a very impulsive call to make,
and the truth is I'm not even sure I know exactly what to say,
except that I'm thinking about you all the time.
I mean, because I know you're struggling too, right?
And I just think that-- that we should be able to--
to help each other, you know, as-- as fellow travelers on
this path that we're on. Yeah, so...
[ breaths in deep ] Okay. I know that--
that-- that might sound crazy, and-- and
I'm sorry if I overstepped. I'm just saying that it-- it
would really mean a lot to me if I could just talk to you,
because it would help me get past all this guilt
that I've been feeling and been holding onto, you know,
because of letting you down. >> Nikki: Where are you?
>> Seth: I'm at a bar, east of town.
>> Nikki: Seth, I can't see you if you've been drinking.
>> Seth: No, I-- I haven't. Not yet.
I mean, you know, I just got here and then I decided to call.
>> Nikki: All right, well I'll leave right now and
meet me at Crimson Lights, so you can buy me a cup of coffee.
>> Seth: Okay. Okay, it'd-- it'd be my honor.
Um. Thank you so much, Nikki. I'm-- I am on my way.
>> Nikki: Okay, see you soon.
>> Victoria: You're a compassionate woman, Mom.
>> Victor: Sweetheart, you certainly are, but I will not
allow you to leave the premises. Not as long as that Jordan
woman is out there. >> Nikki: Victor.
>> Victor: What? >> Nikki: It's coffee
with my former sponsor in a public place.
They don't even serve alcohol there.
What is the harm in that?
>> Audra: So, we meet our new Glissade board and make
them wonder how they ever survived without us.
And then, you know, we go look at those new companies
we might acquire, and then what? >> Tucker: Go back to the hotel.
Do what you do in a hotel. Celebrate our asses off
'til we pass out. No? I guess I didn't
understand the question. What are you asking?
>> Audra: Well, I'm asking about the bigger picture.
Do we relocate Glissade offices to Genoa City, or do we embrace
a whole new life in Paris? >> Tucker: Would you
actually consider that? >> Audra: Tucker, I came to
Genoa City because of you. I stayed because of you.
So, if you go to Paris or wherever,
I go to Paris or wherever. And business has nothing to do
with it. You know, this feels weird.
>> Tucker: What does? >> Audra: I guess just
letting my guard down. Admitting that I care after
pretending I didn't. And after years of this
push-pull dance we've been doing, it's scary.
And I didn't know I was scared of anything.
>> Tucker: Yeah. I guess for a couple
of fearless risk-takers, we've been pretty cowardly with
one another, haven't we? >> Audra: Are we really
getting past all that? Starting a real,
honest life together, full of endless possibilities?
>> Tucker: Yes. >> Audra: Or is this
too good to be true? >> Tucker: No, it is not.
It's this good. It's this true. Not to mention long overdue.
>> Audra: Okay. So, is your vote for
Paris or Genoa City? It's Genoa City.
I don't even know why I asked. >> Tucker: It's not
because of Ashley. It's not because of the Abbotts
or Jabot or any of that old crap I'm no longer interested in.
>> Audra: No, I believe you. It's because of Devon, isn't it?
>> Tucker: I just-- I love him so much.
I love Dominic so much. I don't show it
very well, though. But I'm willing to learn.
I want to learn. Do you think I'm crazy for not
just giving up and walking away? >> Audra: No.
No. Look, I get it.
I don't know all the details, but I do know that this
disconnect between the two of you is hurting you very deeply.
>> Tucker: A lot more than I've been willing to admit to myself.
And I think what I do is I-- I resort to anger with him
because it's safer than feeling the pain.
I don't know. >> Audra: Nothing hurts more
than the pain of being estranged from your own family.
And that pain won't ever go away unless you find
a way to resolve it. >> Tucker: Yeah, that's
it exactly, isn't it?
>> Abby: So, this is new.
It's from Northern California. We're just trying it out.
Let me know your honest opinion. Free of charge, needless to say.
>> Jack: I love having a restauranteur in the family.
>> Abby: And I love hosting family, so we are even.
Let me know if you need anything.
>> Jack and Diane: Thanks Abby. >> Kyle: Well Dad,
here's to you. >> Diane: Oh,
I'll drink to that. To you.
>> Jack: To me. >> Diane: Sure.
>> Jack: I'm not complaining. Uh, what did I do
to deserve a toast? >> Kyle: Mom didn't give me
details, but she told me how you're helping Nikki
and I really admire that. >> Jack: Well, thank you both.
I'm only doing what I'm sure Nikki would do for me if
the situation were reversed. >> Diane: Your father can be too
kind and unselfish at times. As if you don't have your hands
full enough at home. >> Kyle: So, Ashley.
She seemed okay when we got home.
>> Diane: Yeah, I was surprised she didn't tear into me about
my promotion as soon as we walked through the door.
Not that I'm complaining. >> Jack: I'm sure
that's the last thing on her mind right now.
>> Ashley: So worried. Time for change. How?
Time to take control.
>> Nikki: I know both of you are worried about me,
but I can certainly handle a conversation with my former
sponsor at Crimson Lights. >> Victor: Well, then you
won't mind if I put one of my men at a table nearby
so they can keep an eye on you. >> Nikki: Oh, Victor, you have
got to stop coddling me. >> Victor: Sweetheart,
I'm not coddling you. I'm just aware of how
dangerous this is. We don't know what
this lunatic woman is up to. >> Nikki: Well, whatever it is,
she's the reason why I'm stuck in this house and I hate it.
>> Victor: It won't last forever.
>> Victoria: Mom, please stay home.
Just, you're safe here. Please don't tempt fate.
Let Dad's security team and the police find Jordan
before you venture out again. >> Victor: Sweetheart, please.
If you keep on pressing the issue,
you're forcing that woman to do more than just a phone call.
She could really endanger your life again.
>> Abby: Thank you so much. >> Tessa: Hi!
>> Abby: Hello! Please tell me that that
smile on your face means what I think it means.
>> Tessa: So, I talked to Mariah about your job offer.
>> Abby: And? >> Tessa: With my wife's
blessing, I've decided I'm definitely
interested in accepting it. >> Abby: Are you sure?
>> Tessa: One hundred percent. But I do have a few conditions.
>> Abby: Just name it and consider it done.
>> Tessa: Good. I'm glad you said that,
because I want some serious changes made around here.
>> Jack: There is no doubt about it, Tucker's mind games have
done a real number on Ashley. Though I did have some quiet
time with her this afternoon, and I am cautiously optimistic
she's ready to turn a corner. >> Diane: That's good.
What changed? >> Jack: I think she's just had
enough. Painful as it's all been, I think she's coming
out on the other side and finally, she can put Tucker
behind her once and for all. >> Kyle: It won't be easy.
I mean, I know firsthand just how skilled Tucker is at getting
in your head and refusing to let go until he's done with you.
I'm pulling for her. >> Diane: It is unbelievable how
Tucker has upended this family, and he's still going strong.
I don't think he'll ever take his sights off Jabot.
>> Jack: Despite his claims that he doesn't want payback.
>> Diane: And, exposing his cover-up scandal wasn't
enough to crush him. >> Kyle: Yeah, and-- and
don't forget about Audra blowing our follow-up attack.
I mean, that weapon's useless now.
>> Diane: Tucker's obsession with everything
Abbott is obnoxious. Is there nothing
we can do to stop him? >> Jack: Of course there is.
We make sure Jabot is ready to defend itself from
that man at every level. >> Tucker: You know,
for a woman who's subtly made it clear that the subject
of her own family is off-limits, you're very insightful
about the pain that estrangement can cause.
I'm not asking for anything. I'm just noting.
>> Audra: Good choice. Can I make a suggestion
about your situation with Devon? >> Tucker: Please.
>> Audra: First of all, do nothing.
>> Tucker: Wow. Gosh. Why didn't I think of that?
>> Audra: Just hear me out. Look, I know you love nothing
more than to race over to the Chancellor Mansion
this minute and refuse to leave until Devon tells you
he forgives you. >> Tucker: You're not wrong.
>> Audra: But what I'm telling you is do nothing.
Like just wait a while. Everything is just too fresh
and too volatile after your breakup with Ashley.
So, just let the dust settle. Be patient.
>> Tucker: Not something I excel at.
What then? >> Audra: Well, think about it.
How many times have you promised Devon that you've changed
and then gone back on your promise?
>> Tucker: Over the course of our entire relationship?
Too many times to count. >> Audra: Yeah, so you're going
to need more than words and empty promises
to convince him. Telling him won't mean a thing.
You'll have to show him. >> Tucker: All right.
How do I show him? >> Audra: Just stand down,
take a breath and just be there for him
when you see that he needs help. No scheming, no subterfuge,
no strings attached. For no other reason
than you love him and it's the right thing to do.
>> Tucker: In other words, the last thing that
he would expect from me.
You're amazing.
>> Tucker: Shall we? >> Audra: You know,
I'm not tired and I don't want this evening to end,
so what do you say I buy you a nightcap?
>> Tucker: I love it. Let's do it.
I just have a couple calls to make and then
I'll be right back down. >> Audra: Okay.
>> Tucker: Okay.
>> Tessa: Don't be offended, but I think Society could
use a major makeover. >> Abby: Excuse me?
>> Tessa: So, this is what I'm thinking.
We do a DJ, karaoke. We remove those tables
and put a dance floor. And then, the menu.
We go international. Monday, French cuisine.
Tuesday, Italian-- >> Abby: Tessa.
>> Tessa: Wednesday-- >> Abby: No, no, no.
I'm not sure about any of that, actually. No.
>> Tessa: [ laughs ] I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Abby.
I'm just messing with you. >> Abby: Oh.
>> Tessa: I wouldn't change a single thing about Society.
People love it here. I mean, there would be a riot
in town if you so much as changed the empanada recipe.
>> Abby: Well, thank God, because you really had me
going there for a minute. >> Tessa: Well, don't
be too grateful just yet, because I do have one condition.
>> Abby: I'm afraid to ask. >> Tessa: It's about Aria.
>> Abby: Oh. How's she doing? I haven't seen her
in a couple weeks. >> Tessa: Oh,
she's so fantastic. I mean, it's just such a miracle.
She's adjusting so well to her hearing aids, and she's even
started trying to sing along when we sing her lullabies,
when we put her to bed. So cute.
>> Abby: That's so beautiful. I love that little girl.
So, listen, if your ask is about Aria, you can pretty much
guarantee I'm going to say yes. >> Tessa: Well, I just need
some flexibility with my work schedule here,
so that Mariah and I can coordinate our time with her.
>> Abby: Of course. I was already planning on it.
From one mother to another, I wouldn't have it
any other way. >> Tessa: Wow. That was easy.
I should have held out for all the paella I could eat.
Which is a lot. >> Abby: Well,
I'm sold on that too. Come here. Yay. Aw. Tessa,
you really are a lifesaver. It's going to be such a relief
having you here because you're so positive and energetic.
And I won't feel like I'm shortchanging Dominic
with my new responsibilities on the board
at Chancellor-Winters. And I really do think you're
going to love it here. >> Tessa: Oh, I don't
doubt that for one minute. >> Abby: I cannot wait to tell
Devon. He's going to be just as thrilled as I am.
Hey, why don't you come by after we close and we can
go over everything. >> Tessa: I'm here.
>> Abby: And the customers are going to love you too.
In fact, here, come with me. >> Tessa: Hm.
Oh. >> Abby: Excuse me.
I would like to introduce you to the new manager of Society
Tessa Porter. >> Diane: Congratulations.
>> Jack: Fantastic news, Tessa. Congratulations.
>> Tessa: Thank you. >> Kyle: That's fantastic.
>> Nikki: All right. I won't
meet Seth at Crimson Lights. I'll have him come here.
Does that make you happy? >> Victor: Happy is
hardly the word, okay? But I'm very grateful that
you've decided to stay. [ cell phone ringing ]
Excuse me. I need to take this.
>> Victoria: Thank you. Thank you so much for staying
where you're safe, Mom. So, I won't worry about you,
at least not as much. But I'm glad that Dad is here
with you, so I will go back, and I'll check on Claire.
And I love you. I'll talk to you later, okay?
>> Nikki: I love you too. And don't worry, I'll be fine,
okay?
[ phone ringing ] >> Seth: It's Nikki.
Nikki! Hey.
Please tell me you're not canceling.
>> Nikki: Oh, no. I just have to change locations.
>> Seth: Oh. No problem. Just name the place
and I'll be there. >> Nikki: I can't get away
from the ranch right now. Would you mind meeting me here?
>> Seth: Okay. That-- That's fine. I just--
I just need the address. >> Nikki: 421 Larkspur Trail,
Highway B. I'll tell the security guard
that I'm expecting you. >> Seth: Okay.
Okay, that-- that-- that's-- that's great.
I'll see you soon. >> Nikki: Okay.
>> Jordan: Where are you meeting her?
>> Seth: Uh, at the-- at the Newman Ranch.
>> Jordan: Oh. Well, this just keeps
getting better and better.
>> Seth: Yes, um, yeah.
>> Victor: I will deal with that momentarily, all right?
Thank you. [ Victor sighing ]
Did you talk to Seth? >> Nikki: Yes.
He's on his way here instead of Crimson Lights.
>> Victor: It makes me happy that you changed your mind,
all right? It means a lot to me.
Now, you're looking forward to talking to him?
>> Nikki: Well, yeah. If I can help him even
a little bit, it will be added incentive for my sobriety.
>> Victor: Come here.
I've got to tell you, the fact that you're willing
to help someone while you're struggling yourself
means a great deal, okay? And if that makes you happy
in the process, then... I'm happy for you.
>> Nikki: There's only one other thing I can think of that
would make me happy. >> Victor: Uh-oh. What's that?
>> Nikki: Setting a trap for Jordan before she can
set one for us.
>> Jack: Ash? Ashley?
>> Kyle: Can I pour you a drink? >> Diane: No, no.
I'm-- I'm good. Hey, is everything all right?
>> Kyle: Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?
>> Diane: Well, I can think of a few things.
>> Kyle: Like what? >> Diane: Like Jabot.
>> Kyle: What? I'm supposed to be upset
about work? After hours?
>> Diane: No, not work per se, but what you and I were talking
about when we came in earlier. >> Kyle: Ah.
About my decision that I made with R&D that should have
been yours and my overstepping. >> Diane: I said helping,
not overstepping. >> Kyle: My mistake.
>> Diane: And you seemed to tense up a bit whenever
Jabot came up at dinner. >> Kyle: Okay, Mom,
you're clearly trying to get at something,
but I'm not sure what it is, so just help me out.
>> Diane: I think you know. Jack promoted me to a position
that you used to have. One that you and I both lobbied
for you to have again and I want you to tell me
how you really feel about it. >> Kyle: Okay, this is on your
mind a lot more than it is mine. >> Diane: I don't think so.
>> Kyle: Okay. I stopped lobbying for
myself because I realized you were the right person
at the right time. This is the way it should be.
>> Diane: Yes, but it's created a whole new dynamic at work.
It seems like you're having a hard time accepting that.
I mean, Kyle, I get it. It can't be easy coming back
to a lesser role there than you had before.
>> Kyle: Mom. Mom, I'm not struggling.
>> Diane: Would you tell me if you were?
>> Kyle: I would. And it's all good.
>> Diane: I just want us to find the right balance at work,
where we can be happy and productive and--
and comfortable. I mean,
yes, Kyle, I am your boss. But first and foremost,
I'm your mom. And I don't want this
to come between us. And in fact, I will do
whatever it takes to keep that from happening, so just--
Come on. Tell me the truth.
