>> Adam: I'm thinking
burgers after this.
What do you say?
>> Chelsea: Well, I--
I don't know.
I think, um, I think pizza
would be a better bet, right?
>> Adam: Okay.
Well, we got one vote for
pizza and one for burgers.
>> Billy: I like both.
I abstain.
>> Chelsea: So, I guess
we need a tie breaker.
>> Adam: Well, clearly it's
gonna come up to the big man.
But before you decide,
let me just say, burgers comes
with milkshakes for dessert.
>> Chelsea: This is true.
But cupcakes follow pizza.
So, that's a solid choice.
>> Connor: Am I in trouble?
>> Adam: What?
>> Billy: Of course not.
>> Chelsea: Why would
you think that, sweetheart?
>> Connor: You're all
here at the same time.
So, if I'm not in trouble,
then maybe you're here
because something's
really wrong with me.
♪♪
>> Christine: Well,
you were right.
I am so glad I made that call.
So thanks for the advice.
>> Nina: Oh, no.
Well, thanks for taking it.
You know, the only reason
Danny's all turned around
right now is because
Phyllis is being Phyllis.
You just need to sit down with
him and talk to him and make him
see what's at stake.
>> Christine: I mean,
I don't wanna give up on Danny.
I know this is right for both of
us, but for him to say
that it's a competition
between the two of us.
I mean, I--
I have to make it clear to him
and obvious that Phyllis
is the one playing games.
>> Nina: Yeah, but
that's an intellectual argument.
You know, what matters
is the heart, the deep emotions,
the love, the longing,
even the fear and loss.
If you don't force Danny's
hand and make him realize
that he's pushing you away,
he's about to lose you for good.
This could go on for
God knows how long.
>> Christine: No, no.
We don't have
God knows how long.
I don't wanna waste any more of
my life because Phyllis is
a vulture and Danny's too nice.
>> Nina: Well, this is my point.
Good.
So, hopefully he'll call soon.
And listen when he does--
>> Christine: I-- I know.
Don't mention Phyllis.
>> Nina: Okay, good.
Just focus on the two of
you and no one else.
>> Christine: Well, let's just
hope she hasn't gotten to him
first and scared him away before
this reverse psychology plan
has a chance to work.
>> Phyllis: Hey, ooh, Abby.
Just the person I wanna see.
>> Abby: Phyllis,
what do you want?
>> Phyllis: Okay.
I-- I want to rent out
your restaurant for the evening.
Not just a restaurant,
the kitchen too.
>> Abby: Oh, tonight?
Now? Ha! No! Excuse me.
>> Phyllis: But...
how's that a response?
>> Abby: How is it not?
>> Phyllis: Well,
we can at least have
a conversation about it.
>> Abby: We just did.
>> Phyllis: But-- but no,
no, no, we didn't.
You-- you have to
let me do this.
>> Abby: Apparently, you
don't understand because this is
my restaurant and I don't
have to do a damn thing.
>> Phyllis: No, no.
You don't understand.
Everything in my life right
now is riding on this.
>> Nina: Danny's not gonna leave
town without saying so,
without saying goodbye to you.
>> Christine: I'm not
so sure about that.
>> Nina: What are you talking
about?
>> Christine: Look...
as far as Danny's concerned,
this isn't about him and me.
This is about me and Phyllis.
And that might be enough as
it is to scare him away.
Look at what happened the last
time Phyllis thought I was
coming between them.
She tried to kill me,
for God's sake.
Danny doesn't wanna go through
that again, and neither do I.
>> Nina: [ softly ] I know.
>> Christine: And if
he is already scared, you know,
she's gonna blame me and--
>> Nina: Okay. Okay, Cricket.
Stop it. Just stop it.
>> Abby: Phyllis, I have
a sold-out book of reservations,
so what am I supposed to do?
I'm supposed to call all
of those people and tell them to
make other dinner plans because
you, Phyllis Summers, of all
people has waltzed in here with
some hare-brained emergency.
>> Phyllis: I mean, well, that
won't be effective, of course.
>> Abby: You think?
>> Phyllis: You know what,
Abby, I believe in you.
I know
you can think of something.
You could say, you know, uh,
"Our kitchen caught fire."
Or, "Hey, everyone,
our fridge blew up, you know,
and all our food is spoiled."
Or, "Our entire staff
came down with, um, the bird flu
or something like that."
>> Abby: Yeah. Yeah, Phyllis,
that's exactly what I should do.
I should tell everyone
that our-- our kitchen equipment
is unsafe and that you
could potentially get
food poisoning here. Yeah.
You have a real business sense.
>> Phyllis: Okay.
I will financially make
this worth your while.
>> Abby: Which is exactly what
you should tell the other
restaurants in town when you
give them your crazy idea.
I'm sure they would be
happy to take your money.
>> Phyllis: I don't want
any other restaurant.
I want this restaurant, Abby.
I want yours.
That should flatter you enough
to do me this favor.
>> Chelsea: Sweetheart,
the reason we're here is we love
you and we know you've
been having a hard time,
so we just wanna figure out
why and how we can help you.
>> Connor: The way you got help?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
I mean, everybody needs help
every once in a while
for something, right?
>> Adam: Absolutely.
>> Chelsea: And that's nothing
to be frightened about.
>> Adam: Yes.
Believe it or not, your mom
and I don't know everything.
I know, but it is true.
That is why we arranged for you
to see a specialist.
>> Connor: What's she gonna do?
Give me a bunch of
tests or something?
>> Adam: All she's gonna do,
she's gonna ask you
some questions.
And all you have to do
is answer them truthfully.
>> Connor: What kind
of questions?
>> Billy: She's just gonna ask
you about, you know, what you're
thinking, how you feeling.
Get you to open up a little bit
so you can feel like yourself.
Think about it this way,
you know, the more she knows,
the more she can help you
figure out how to make
it easier on yourself.
>> Alcott: Hello, Connor.
I'm so happy to meet you.
I'm Dr. Alcott.
Why don't we go talk for a bit?
Oh, I think just one
of your parents will come in
right now.
How about mom?
That work for you?
>> Adam: Are you sure?
Because I think maybe--
[ Adam sighs ]
No, that makes sense.
I'll be right here buddy.
>> Chelsea: We got this.
>> Billy: Maybe we should
check and see if Dr. Alcott
has a spare hour when
she's done with Connor.
>> Adam: What the hell
is that supposed to mean, Billy?
>> Billy: You gotta get
a handle on yourself, Adam.
Do you honestly think Connor
can't pick up on your attitude?
>> Alcott: Just to tell you
a little about myself,
I got my PhD in psychology
at Northwestern University
in Evanston, Illinois.
I specialize in cognitive
behavior therapy and I've been
practicing for 31 years.
Which is a long way of saying
I've been doing this
a long time and I've met
a lot of wonderful kids.
Connor, I want you to know
there's nothing you can say
that I won't understand.
So, I'd like to get started by
asking you a few questions.
That okay?
>> Chelsea: Remember
what we talked about.
Everything's gonna be fine,
I promise.
>> Adam: Who are you
trying to impress, Billy?
Hm? The doctor? Connor?
'Cause you're not his parent.
You don't have any say in this.
>> Billy: Lighten up.
Just relieve some of
the tension, okay?
Maybe put a smile on
the kid's face so he's not
walking in there thinking
it's all doom and gloom.
>> Adam: You're here
for Chelsea.
I'm here from my son.
>> Billy: Yeah.
And he's nervous. He's afraid.
And you sitting there
all wound up 'cause I'm here
is not helping.
>> Adam: So in other words, you
think you know better than me
what he thinks and how he feels?
Is that what
you're saying, Billy?
>> Billy: No,
it's not what I'm saying.
In fact,
it's exact opposite of that.
'Cause I can be a little
bit more objective.
'Cause as much as I care about
Connor, he's not my son.
So, I can pick up on
a few things that you're
too upset to register.
>> Adam: Well, thank you
for your insights...
Dr. Abbott.
>> Billy: I'm not attacking you,
okay?
I am 100% here
to support Connor.
And that puts us on
the same team,
whether you like that or not.
I know this can't be
easy on you, all right?
If it were Johnny and Katie
in there, I honestly,
I don't know how I would feel.
I really don't.
>> Adam: The kid hasn't had
a break in his entire life,
okay?
I was there, I wasn't there,
finding out about Johnny,
watching what his mom went
through, and now this?
I mean, I look at him and
I see how perfect he is.
I-- I---
I didn't know
what was happening.
I didn't know what
he was going through.
>> Billy: But he's here now.
You put him in a situation to be
surrounded by people that know
how to handle this, okay?
That's a good thing.
>> Adam: Okay. So then,
what if the school's
suspicions are right?
And what if he does have OCD?
>> Billy: Then, you deal with it
the way that you would deal with
any other diagnosis.
You find the right specialist,
you get the right treatment,
and you move forward.
>> Abby: Society is the only
restaurant that you want?
That must mean all
the other restaurants
in town turned you down.
Am I right?
>> Phyllis: You know, Abby,
I thought we got past the point
of hating each other.
I really did.
>> Abby: Phyllis,
this is nothing personal.
It's business pure and simple.
>> Phyllis: No, no, it's not.
Because if anybody else in
this town, anyone you didn't
despise asked you for this,
you would absolutely say yes.
>> Abby: [ sighs ] Okay.
Maybe I can work something out.
>> Phyllis: Really?
>> Abby: Later in the week.
>> Phyllis: No, no, no, no.
It has to be tonight.
>> Nina: Cricket, you're letting
Phyllis drive this thing.
This whole fear that Danny has
about this being a competition
between you two and that he's
essentially beside the point.
>> Christine: Which is
ridiculous.
>> Nina: Yes, it is.
It's ridiculous.
So put a stop to it.
Just forget about Phyllis.
Remove her from the equation.
Put her out of your mind
and concentrate on what
you and Danny deserve.
>> Christine: Yeah, believe me.
I would love nothing more.
>> Nina: This is your time.
You two have finally found
your way back to one another
after all of these years.
>> Christine: Right?
It almost makes you start
believing in fate again.
>> Nina: No, not almost.
Look, you have to stop
inviting Phyllis to become
part of this scenario.
I mean, really, Phyllis?
>> Christine: How could you--
Inviting? What?
>> Nina: Well, maybe you're
not opening the door to her,
but as soon as she's there,
you are right back at it.
You're lowering yourself
to her level.
>> Christine: I admit she brings
out the worst in me.
>> Nina: Well, she can
try, but you let her.
That's a lot of power to hand
over to a narcissistic
drama queen.
>> Christine: A narcissistic
drama queen who should be
in jail.
>> Nina: I know.
She should be in jail.
We all know that. But she's not.
Get over it. Cricket, come on.
You're better than this.
You're better than her.
You gotta start acting like it.
I guarantee Danny is not
gonna stop seeing this
as some game that you're playing
until you stop playing it.
Stop dragging her into it.
>> Danny: Hey.
>> Christine: Hi.
>> Danny: Hi.
>> Christine: Did you get
my message?
>> Danny: Yeah.
Um, I--
I'm really sorry for not
getting back to you sooner.
I've just been really
swamped scheduling
some added tour dates.
>> Christine: Added tour dates?
>> Danny: Yeah.
I've moved up the second
half of my concert tour,
and so I'll be, um, hitting
the road in a couple weeks.
>> Christine: So just like that,
you're-- you're leaving?
Are you really ready
to give up on us?
>> Nina: I'll leave you to it.
I'll see you.
>> Danny: Yeah.
>> Nina: I'll call you.
>> Danny: Take care.
>> Christine: She's right.
We need to talk alone.
Let's go out here.
>> Danny: Of course. Yeah.
>> Christine: I, um,
I guess I was afraid that you
didn't call me back because you
were surprised to hear from me
and you didn't know what to say.
>> Danny: Well, um, actually,
I...
I wasn't surprised.
In fact,
I kinda knew you'd call.
>> Christine: You did?
>> Danny: Yeah.
>> Christine: Look,
I-- I know that you are tired of
this constant back-and-forth
battle between Phyllis and me.
>> Danny: [ chuckles ] Tired
is an understatement.
I am exhausted.
>> Christine: I'm exhausted too.
In fact, I--
I'm so exhausted that
I've-- I've had enough.
>> Danny: What does
that mean exactly?
>> Christine: The fact
that Phyllis is even
part of our conversation,
it just, it makes me sad.
I-- It doesn't even make--
It-- it makes me furious.
What the hell is wrong with you?
>> Danny: Wait, I--
>> Christine: Danny, Danny,
just when I thought that we were
almost there,
that we were
getting back to the place
that we both wanted to,
you essentially let
Phyllis come between us.
I mean, she can try,
but you let her get to you.
And if that's the case, I...
I don't even know how
I'm supposed to think
about a future between us.
>> Abby: So, it has to
be tonight.
What's so special about tonight?
Hm? Who's the unlucky prey?
>> Phyllis: Oh, yeah,
that's right.
That's me all over the place.
This evil, relentless predator.
That's who I am.
>> Abby: Oh my gosh, Phyllis.
I was kidding. Sort of.
>> Phyllis: You know what?
Even if you weren't,
it doesn't matter.
I would never tell you who my
prey is because you would just
misinterpret it and mock me,
make fun of me like
everybody else in this town.
You know what? Forget it.
I rescind my request.
>> Abby: Oh, great.
I've already forgotten about it.
>> Phyllis: Can I have
a martini? Three olives, please.
>> Phyllis: Grazie.
>> Danny: Prego.
[ both laugh ]
>> Phyllis: All right.
Mm.
Oh, my goodness.
That's incredible. It's so good.
It's better than I could
have ever thought possible.
How can I thank you?
>> Danny: By letting me
cook this way for you
for the rest of our lives.
>> Connor: I like to sit in
the back.
>> Alcott: What's better
about sitting in the back?
>> Connor: Because then no
one's looking at me.
>> Alcott: You don't
like anyone looking at you?
>> Connor: No.
>> Alcott: So, tell me about
your favorite part of the day.
>> Connor: I guess
I don't have one.
>> Alcott: There's nothing
about school you like?
>> Connor: Not anymore.
I used to like some of it,
but it's a lot harder lately.
>> Alcott: Why do you
think that is Connor?
>> Connor: I don't know.
Just can't concentrate anymore.
>> Alcott: Well,
that's interesting.
You used to be able to
concentrate and now you can't.
Did something change and
that keeps you from being
able to concentrate?
>> Connor: It's the thoughts.
Scary ones.
All day long and out of nowhere,
no matter what teacher's talking
or if I'm in the middle
of practice, they keep
coming and won't go away.
>> Alcott: Like what, Connor?
Would you be willing to share
what some of those scary
thoughts are with me?
>> Adam: When you said
earlier that everyone gets help?
>> Billy: Yeah?
>> Adam: Did you, you know,
for the, uh, gambling addiction?
>> Billy: I did, off and on.
A little more off than on.
You know, I tried to white
knuckle my way through it
because, you know,
I'm Billy Abbott and I gotta
be stronger than some stupid
self-destructive compulsion.
Looking back on that, that
was stupid and self-destructive.
>> Adam: Huh.
So in general, you would
say that therapy worked?
>> Billy: Yeah, I would.
There was one time that it
actually made me crack.
>> Adam: What do you mean crack?
You had a breakdown?
>> Billy: Maybe a little
too much information,
so just forget I said that.
>> Adam: Hey.
Kinda too late for that.
I mean, you just backed yourself
into a corner there.
>> Billy: Adam, uh, let's not
worry about my situation, okay?
Let's focus on Connor here
because I think it's best I try
and ease your mind so you can be
calm and connect with your son
when he walks outta here.
'Cause the last thing he needs
is a freaked out father.
>> Adam: And the last thing that
you need is to expose any
more of your weaknesses to a man
that you often see as an enemy.
>> Billy: Believe me, Adam,
I have zero interest in hiding
myself from you or anyone else.
Who I am, who I am not,
what I have done, the things
that I have been through,
you name it, I own it.
>> Adam: Well,
that's good to know.
>> Billy: Yeah.
I had a breakdown.
And I was in the throes of it
when I tried to run you down
with that car a few years ago.
[ Adam scoffs ]
>> Adam: Yeah.
Yeah, that happened.
Thank God for Kevin and Chloe
or I'd be dead right now.
>> Billy: If I never said this
to you before, I will regret
that for the rest of my life.
And I agree.
Thank God for Kevin and Chloe.
They didn't only save your life,
they saved mine as well.
I got into therapy right after
that and I have been better
and stronger ever since.
>> Adam: Well,
I'm glad to hear that, Billy.
I really am.
>> Billy: Correct me if
I'm wrong, but I have
the feeling that you've
reached out for help from a few
professionals over the years.
Is that right?
>> Adam: Yes.
Yeah, I have.
>> Alcott: What are some
of these scary thoughts that
keep barging into your mind?
>> Connor: Well, like
when I eat, I can be
really hungry, but then
I get scared the food
might make me sick.
>> Alcott: Is that why
you don't eat lunch sometimes?
>> Connor: It's not just
food either.
You can get sick
from other things too.
>> Alcott: Like what?
>> Connor: Like everything.
There are germs everywhere.
And germs can make you really,
really sick.
>> Alcott: Have you ever
gotten really, really sick?
>> Connor: No,
but that's because I wash
my hands all the time
to get the germs off of them.
>> Alcott: Sounds like
a good idea to me.
So thoughts of getting sick
keeps scaring you.
Anything else?
>> Connor: Lots of things
all the time.
>> Alcott: I'd love
to hear what they are
if you'd like to tell me.
>> Connor: The kids
are talking about me.
The-- they're making fun of me
and they're going to hurt me.
>> Alcott: Oh, Connor,
I'm so sorry.
I'm sure that's not true.
So, of all these scary thoughts
you keep having,
what are the scariest ones
of all?
>> Connor: You mean the ones
that wake me up in the middle
of the night and like,
can't go back to sleep?
>> Alcott: Exactly.
Will you tell me what they are?
>> Chelsea: It's okay,
sweetheart.
You're doing great.
What are the scariest thoughts
of all?
[ Connor sighs ]
>> Connor: That something
horrible will happen
to my mom and dad
and it'll be all my fault.
>> Danny: If I've ever
given you the impression
ever that she has taken priority
over you, then I am sorry.
But-- but no.
Never.
Yes, I-- I-- I see that she's
changed somewhat and--
and I'm supporting Daniel
and-- and I'm supporting her.
But she's taking this and she's
running with it and she's turned
this into a huge competition.
>> Christine: Which is what
I've said all along.
>> Danny: And you were right.
I didn't shut the door in
her face.
But, I mean, this is on you too.
You know, you have been more
than willing to engage
in this battle with Phyllis.
This is about beating
Phyllis and then whoever
wins, you get the door prize.
Me.
And I just come too far
in my life to know that I do
not wanna settle,
and I am not going to get sucked
in by anything that's not real.
>> Christine: Okay.
>> Danny: You understand?
>> Christine: Yeah.
Well, guess what?
I have never thought of you as
a door prize, and I never will.
You're the man I'm falling back
in love with.
And I believe with all
my heart that if you just
shut out Phyllis's noise
just for a second,
you would see
that you're falling back
in love with me too.
>> Danny: I was such a fool
to even think that there was
a future with Christine.
My future and my destiny
is right here in your arms
where I belong.
>> Phyllis: And I belong
right here with you
in your arms.
That's the truth.
I'm so happy
you finally realized it.
>> Abby: Good.
You're still here.
>> Phyllis: Yes,
I am still here.
The humble petitioner throwing
herself on your mercy.
>> Abby: Can you please stop,
Phyllis?
>> Phyllis: Yes, I can.
>> Abby: Okay.
Here is what I am willing to do.
I looked at the reservations.
My last reservation is at 8:30,
so if that's not too late
for whatever, uh,
thing you have planned,
I can hand the restaurant
over to you at 10:00.
>> Phyllis: That's fantastic.
Thank you.
>> Abby: But you have
to pay my staff double time.
>> Phyllis: No, no, no, no.
I-- I don't need your staff.
Um, my prey, as you call it,
um, he's gonna bring the food,
I'm gonna bring the drinks.
>> Abby: Do you honestly think
I'm gonna leave you
here alone in my restaurant?
>> Phyllis: Well,
I'm not gonna rob you.
>> Abby: I don't know
what you're gonna do.
Besides, someone has to close.
>> Phyllis: Fine.
A double pay for your staff.
>> Abby: And don't make a mess.
No one's cleaning up after you.
>> Phyllis: Okay.
Hey, Abby.
I just wanna say thank you.
Really. You have--
you have no idea
what it means to me
that you changed your mind.
>> Abby: You're welcome...
I think.
Enjoy.
[ phone rings ]
[ Danny sighs ]
>> Danny: I'm sorry.
>> Christine: What's wrong?
[ Christine groans ]
You've gotta be joking.
>> Danny: I-- I should have
turned the phone off.
>> Christine: She just doesn't
give up, does she?
And what's this?
Um, Phyllis can't wait for what?
>> Alcott: And when these
scary thoughts start
invading your mind, what
do you do to try
to keep them away?
>> Connor: Sometimes, I count
to drown it out.
Counting calms me down, but
it can only be certain numbers.
>> Alcott: Why is that?
>> Connor: Those numbers make it
so bad things won't happen.
That's why I hate math.
I have to deal with
numbers that aren't lucky.
>> Alcott: I can see how
that would be hard for you.
What are your luckiest numbers?
>> Connor: Seven.
And-- and numbers that can be
divided by seven, like 14,
28, 70, numbers like that.
Oh, you know what else helps
me keep the scary thoughts away?
Straightening up my room.
I do that a lot.
My closet too.
>> Alcott: I see.
It's important for you
to keep things in order.
>> Connor: It's like
the numbers.
If everything is exactly right,
then nothing can go wrong.
It gets rid of germs,
which is a bonus too.
>> Alcott: Thank you so much
for talking to me, Connor,
and letting me get to know you.
You've been very helpful.
>> Connor: That's good, right?
>> Alcott: It is.
And outside, uh, in the waiting
room is your father
and your mom's friend?
>> Connor: Yeah, Billy.
He's a good guy.
He likes me and I can trust him.
>> Alcott: I'm glad
to hear that.
Would you mind waiting outside
with him for a while
I talk to your parents?
It's nothing bad.
Just to get some more
information from them.
>> Adam: That, uh,
expose that you published about
me a few years ago, you know,
"The Making of a Monster?"
>> Billy: Yeah.
Not my finest moment.
>> Adam: Oh, well, I probably
should thank you for that.
>> Billy: No.
Please don't do that.
>> Adam: No, I mean it.
When I learned that I had been
suppressing the fact that I--
I killed a man
when I was 11 years old,
I got into therapy myself.
>> Billy: And did it help?
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
I managed to expose some, um,
past traumas that I didn't
realize were still driving me.
>> Billy: I think
we all assume that we can handle
the psychological issues
that were dealing with,
but the truth is, we all need
help at some time or another.
>> Billy: So, how'd it go?
>> Connor: Pretty good, I guess.
Better than I thought it'd be.
>> Billy: That's good.
What'd you think
about Dr. Alcott?
Did you like her?
>> Connor: She was nice.
She asked me about the things
that bother me and scare me.
She didn't act like I was
a freak or something.
>> Billy: Well, you're not
a freak or something,
but that's good.
Sounds like you were
comfortable with her.
>> Connor: I was.
And you wanna know
what else I liked about her?
>> Billy: What's that?
>> Connor: She made it okay
to talk.
Like I was safe.
>> Billy: You know,
she could only do that because
you were brave and honest.
I'm really proud of you.
Give me some.
>> Alcott: For a child
to come in and relax
on his first visit
and to open up the way he did,
that's a child who knows
on some level
that he is loved and supported.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. I mean,
we-- we love him so much.
>> Alcott: It's clear
he's been struggling.
>> Chelsea: He's been in
so much pain, Adam.
>> Adam: So, um,
were you able to get enough
information to make a diagnosis?
>> Alcott: I was.
Your son
is showing all the signs of
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
or OCD is
a mental health disorder.
I'll be emailing you both
a wealth of information
and it'll be a lot
to take in all at once.
But for now, I can say that
his symptoms aren't unusual.
Invasive thoughts create anxiety
and get in the way of
Connor's day-to-day functioning.
His fear of contamination,
germs, illness are overwhelming.
His need to arrange things until
he feels they're right,
like the objects on my table,
he put them in order.
And the relief he seems
to find in straightening up
his room and his closet.
The counting, he mentioned.
The lucky and unlucky numbers.
>> Adam: This is what he's been
going through every day?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
The way he was talking,
Adam, it's taking up
every waking moment.
I mean, it's no wonder
he doesn't wanna
participate in sports and--
and he can't focus in class.
I mean, things have been
awful for him.
[ Chelsea sniffling ]
>> Adam: Um, what causes OCD?
I mean, is it, um,
is it genetic?
>> Alcott: There are
no definitive answers
to what causes it.
Genetics, neurotransmitters,
the environment,
all possibilities.
But it's not productive
to look for blame,
especially self-blame.
What's important is you're
taking the steps that Connor
needs so he can learn
to manage the illness.
>> Adam: Wait a minute.
Manage?
Are you saying that there is
no cure for this?
>> Chelsea: No, Adam,
there is no cure.
But we will manage it
and we will make sure
that Connor has the tools
to remain the wonderful kid
that he is out of pain.
And we will get
those tools as well.
We can't panic
or do anything that's gonna get
in the way of helping Connor.
[ Connor sighs ]
>> Connor: What did she say?
Am I really sick?
>> Adam: You know what?
Why don't we go for those
burgers and we will talk there.
>> Connor: Please, just tell me.
>> Chelsea: Sweetie,
you have something called
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
>> Connor: Do people die
from that?
>> Chelsea: No, no.
>> Adam: And we would never
let that happen.
And it can be treated. Okay?
>> Chelsea: Yeah, the way
I treat my depression.
So we're gonna learn
all about it.
You, me and your dad, and,
the doctors are gonna help us
figure it out.
>> Connor: Am I going
to be okay?
>> Adam: Yes.
>> Chelsea: Yes, you are.
I promise you.
>> Danny: You're right.
Phyllis won't give up
unless I stop her.
>> Christine: You know,
not too long ago, your exact
words to me were, "I want you."
Remember?
>> Danny: Yes, absolutely.
>> Christine: Okay.
And did you mean that
or was that just something
you said in the heat
of the moment
and now you regret it?
>> Danny: No.
No.
I meant it from
the bottom of my heart.
>> Judah: All kids have worries.
It's part of growing up.
>> Melissa: But worries
and anxiety can turn
into something more.
>> Mark: And when that happens,
it's time to get help.
>> Melissa: Talk to your doctor.
Treatment looks different
for every child.
>> Mark: To learn more about
children's mental health...
>> Melissa: Including
the warning signs
for OCD visit Onoursleeves.org.
