>> Abby: Hey.
Why was part of me hoping
you wouldn't show up?
>> Phyllis: Stop, I'm paying you
handsomely for this.
>> Abby: You are,
and I hope it's worth it.
>> Phyllis: Well,
if tonight goes as planned,
this could be the beginning
of something really amazing.
>> Abby: You didn't exactly
share earlier.
What is this all about?
>> Phyllis: I'm having dinner
with Danny Romalotti.
He's making his special pasta
with his special sauce, so.
>> Abby: So, he's cooking
for you here and not
at his place or your place?
Yeah, I get it.
He doesn't want to be
alone with you.
He wants to be in public
with witnesses.
>> Phyllis: That's ridiculous.
[ Phyllis sighs ]
Hey, um,
what's going on with them?
>> Abby: Well, they paid.
>> Phyllis: But can we shoo them
out or something?
>> Abby: No, look at them.
They're in love.
>> Phyllis: Well, I think
they need to take it
somewhere else.
>> Abby: No, Phyllis,
don't you dare.
>> Phyllis: I was gonna buy
a drink for them somewhere else.
>> Abby: Please don't make me
change my mind about this.
>> Danny: Hey,
are you sure about this?
You really didn't have
to come along.
>> Christine: Oh, I think I did.
I don't trust Phyllis
as far as I can throw her.
>> Danny: But you trust me,
don't you?
>> Christine: I do.
But with Phyllis in the mix,
anything can happen,
and it's never good.
>> Danny: I understand.
But this is
a delicate conversation.
I mean, I really do feel
that I should talk to her alone.
>> Christine: It's just
the two of you.
Phyllis is gonna twist
everything you say around.
I'm gonna be back up,
like an audience.
She can't plant a kiss
on you and claim
you initiated it.
>> Danny: You really have
thought this out, haven't you?
>> Christine: Oh, Danny,
this has happened so many times.
I am not about
to let it happen again.
>> Danny: You're right.
And tonight it ends, right?
But just give me a head start,
all right?
Let me see if I can defuse
this thing before it blows up.
>> Summer: Hey.
You in the mood for company,
or have you turned into one
of those workaholic types?
>> Chance: You know what?
I was just thinking about you.
>> Summer: Were you?
>> Chance: Yeah.
>> Summer: Good thoughts?
♪♪
>> Victoria: Claire?
>> Claire: I would've been
in some of these
if Jordan hadn't ruined my life.
>> Nikki: Officer Padilla,
the officer outside said
to see you.
I'm Nikki Newman.
I need you to tell me more
about what happened.
I need to know.
>> Padilla: Mr. Morgan
left with a woman.
Then patrons heard tires
screeching and the impact.
>> Victor: Anything else?
>> Padilla: Woman
comes back, says the subject
jumped into the path of the car,
saying, "Tell Nikki Newman
I'm sorry."
>> Nikki: Oh, my God.
Ah!
>> Nikki: This happened
because of me.
>> Victor: No, sweetheart.
It didn't happen because of you.
It happened
because of this maniac.
She's out for revenge.
Barkeep,
can I have a word with you?
How often had you seen
the couple that we were just
talking about now in here?
>> Barkeep: Who, Isabel?
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Barkeep: Yeah,
a couple times.
>> Victor: What did she
look like?
>> Barkeep: Red hair, glasses,
60-ish.
>> Victor: Ah, thank you.
Officer, please.
Would you kindly take
the glass that the woman drank
out of and lift the DNA
and fingerprints off it, okay?
Thank you.
I'll tell you one thing.
If he stepped in front
of that car, he didn't do
it of his own volition.
[ Victor sighs ]
>> Victoria: You know,
Claire, there'll be
new pictures and new memories.
>> Claire: What if...
>> Victoria: What if, what?
>> Claire: What if, someday
I'm in the pictures,
but I don't really fit in.
>> Victoria: Why would you
say that?
>> Claire: Adam.
He's in the pictures,
but like me, he came into
this family as an adult.
He's still not exactly
in everyone's hearts.
>> Victoria: Well, Adam's story
is very different from yours.
>> Claire: Maybe I should talk
to him.
He knows what it's like trying
to adapt to the Newman world
after not being raised in it.
>> Victoria: How about instead
of asking Adam for advice,
you just be yourself?
Let us love you.
>> Claire: I'm not sure it's
gonna be that easy for everyone.
If I were Nikki,
I'd never forgive me.
>> Victoria: Well, then I guess
that's something we're just
gonna have to work on.
Because all I see right now is
my bright and beautiful daughter
standing in front of me.
Who's exactly where she belongs.
What are you doing up anyway?
I thought you said
you were exhausted.
>> Claire: Turns out, I'm having
trouble shutting my brain off.
>> Victoria: Yeah, well,
you have had quite a day.
[ Claire sighs ]
[ phone ringing ]
>> Claire: It's the number
that I called earlier.
Do you think it's Jordan
calling back?
>> Victoria: You don't have
to answer it.
>> Jordan: Pick up.
Pick up, damn it.
Whoever you are.
>> Summer: What prompted that?
>> Chance: I haven't seen you
in a while. I missed you.
>> Summer: I've missed you too.
>> Chance: Well,
let's do something about that.
Join me.
>> Summer: Best offer
I've had all day.
>> Chance: Have you eaten yet?
>> Summer: I haven't
and I'm starving.
>> Chance: Maybe we should grab
a table.
You can tell me about
all the fashion drama.
I can tell you about
the Chancellor-Winters drama.
>> Summer: I don't know.
All that personal talk,
recapping our days.
Kind of sounds like something
a real couple would do.
>> Chance: Yeah, kind of does.
Unless you'd rather not.
>> Summer: I have a better idea.
>> Phyllis: Hey, welcome.
>> Danny: Hi.
Abby, it's good to see you.
>> Abby: Yes, you too.
>> Phyllis: What are you
doing here?
>> Christine: Danny wanted me
to come.
>> Phyllis: Oh. Okay, well,
I don't want you to be here.
This is a private dinner.
Just the two of us.
So, you can go.
>> Christine: That's not
gonna happen.
>> Abby: Okay, well, I'm
gonna leave you to your evening.
Um, try not to destroy anything.
>> Phyllis: Um, but...
I'm sorry, this dinner
was just the two of us.
It was a private dinner.
Um, just to say goodbye
before you go off on tour.
I mean, God knows when I'm gonna
see you again, so...
>> Christine: Never
would be good.
>> Danny: Look,
we-- we need to talk.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, we do.
At dinner.
We could talk at dinner,
for sure.
Just us. You promised me.
You're not breaking
your promise, are you?
Please tell me you're not.
>> Christine: As a matter of
fact, he is.
>> Phyllis: Um,
I don't understand.
>> Christine: It's--
it's pretty simple.
You and Danny aren't gonna
have that romantic dinner
you were gonna ambush him with.
>> Phyllis: Romantic?
Um, I'm-- I'm sorry.
I think
there's a misunderstanding.
It was just us having
dinner together, you know?
Two friends, you know?
It was a farewell dinner.
So, you can farewell
and leave us alone.
>> Christine: You rented out
the restaurant.
You expected Danny
to cook as just friends.
That's not so believable.
>> Phyllis: Is the idea of
having dinner with me
so abhorrent to you?
>> Danny: I see you went
to a lot of trouble.
>> Phyllis: It's no trouble
at all if we actually
have dinner.
>> Danny: I never
should've agreed to this.
>> Phyllis: But you did.
What did she do?
I mean,
what did-- She start crying?
Did you pitch a fit?
Did you act
like the jealous ex-girlfriend?
I mean, honestly,
what she's trying to do here is
isolate you and control
your life.
>> Danny: This is my call,
all right?
I'm sorry.
I never meant to hurt you
or lead you on, and I'm afraid
that's exactly what I've done.
>> Phyllis: You don't have
to cook. It's no big deal.
We could just scrounge out
something in the kitchen.
>> Christine: What don't you
understand about Danny
is not having dinner with you?
>> Phyllis: Are you gonna
let her talk for you?
Really?
Are you really gonna let
this jealous, very jealous witch
ruin our evening together?
[ Danny sighs ]
>> Danny: Hey,
let me talk to her alone, okay?
It's important.
>> Summer: Nothing beats
room service after a long,
hard day in the office.
Can I order for you?
>> Chance: Well, that depends.
What do you think
I'm in the mood for?
>> Summer: I'm hoping
it's the same thing I am.
>> Chance: Yeah.
And, ah, that would be...
>> Summer: French fries.
>> Chance: French fries?
Yeah, that's exactly
what I was gonna say.
But you know what?
If you don't like it with mayo,
we're gonna have a big problem.
>> Summer: Noted.
Hey, could I place
an order for room service?
Yeah,
could I get two orders of fries,
extra mayo, a hot fudge sundae,
and a bottle of your Pinot Noir?
Yeah, that's fine.
Thanks.
>> Chance: Well-balanced meal.
>> Summer: Glad you approve.
But they did say that
the kitchen is
a little backed up,
so it's gonna be like 30,
40 minutes.
Is that okay with you?
>> Chance: As long as I'm here
with you, I am perfectly fine.
>> Summer: Good answer.
>> Chance: Yeah.
So...
30 minutes?
>> Summer: Mm-hmm.
Ish.
>> Chance: Yeah.
Is this where you tell me
about your day
and I tell you about mine?
>> Summer: We could do that.
Or...
>> Claire: I need to know
if it's Jordan.
We have to stop her and this
could be our only chance.
>> Victoria: I'm right here,
okay?
And remember, you're in control
of your future now, not Jordan.
>> Jordan: Finally.
To whom do I have
the pleasure of speaking?
Hello?
>> Claire: It's Claire.
>> Jordan: My, my.
What a surprise.
>> Claire: You're Isabel.
[ Jordan chuckling ]
>> Jordan: Aren't you
the clever one?
Nikki must have given you
this number.
And I know exactly
why you've called.
>> Claire: You do?
>> Jordan: Well,
it's all over the news.
The great Victor Newman must
have pulled all kinds
of strings to get you released
into the loving arms
of your mother and father.
And you just couldn't wait
to rub it into my face.
>> Claire: That's not it.
>> Jordan: Well, then what,
Claire?
After all the hateful things
that you said to me.
Calling me a monster,
wishing that I was dead.
Do you finally realize
that you've made a mistake?
Or, have the Newmans
turned on you already?
>> Nikki: I should have been
a better friend.
Not kept my distance
because Seth was drinking.
If it weren't for me,
he would still be alive.
>> Victor: Sweetheart, please
don't say that.
It has nothing to do with you.
It has all to do with
that crazy woman, all right?
She killed Seth.
And she killed those prisoners
in that prison fire.
And now, she's gonna
come after you again.
>> Nikki: Oh, God,
all I want to do is drink until
this whole thing is over.
Victor, please take me home.
>> Victor: Yeah, come on.
>> Jordan: Well, don't say
that I didn't warn you.
I forgive you.
You were under the influence
of the Newmans.
A viper's nest, with you
settled in their bosom.
But, Claire, you and I are
connected on a different level,
from beginning to end.
Never do we put asunder.
Do you remember how many times
I told you that growing up?
>> Claire: I do.
>> Jordan: The Newmans
will not love you.
They will hate you, but
it doesn't have to be that way.
>> Claire: You're wrong.
The Newmans have been wonderful.
They love me.
They've helped me heal.
They've given me a real family,
a real home.
>> Jordan: I see.
So, you've called me
to stab me in the heart?
Again?
After everything
I've done for you?
>> Claire: You destroyed me.
>> Jordan: No.
The Newmans will destroy you.
How can you not see that?
You really believe
that the Newmans would take you
into their fold?
That you will be
Princess Victoria's
long-lost daughter?
>> Claire: They're my family.
>> Jordan: Don't you see?
That's what they want you
to think.
They will grind you into nothing
but pain, just like they did
your grandmother and my sister,
Eve. Oh, and then Victor.
Victor.
I know him.
He will use you,
and then he will throw you
out like trash.
>> Claire: You don't know them.
You've never known them.
And-- and Victor has been really
kind to me in spite
of what you turned me into.
>> Jordan: My, my, my.
How could you be so gullible?
How can you think
that they would give a damn
about some little guttersnipe
who tried to kill them?
>> Claire: I have a message
for you from Victor.
>> Jordan: Ah, Victor.
Oh, so he is using you.
>> Claire: Victor wants
this to end.
He wants to meet.
He's ready to accept
his guilt in whatever
happened to my grandmother.
And he will do
whatever you want,
within reason, to make amends.
>> Jordan: I can't imagine what
Victor Newman will do to try
to protect that drunk of a wife.
On his knees begging for mercy.
Is he there now?
I'd like to speak with him.
>> Claire: No, he's not.
I'm with my mother.
>> Jordan: Mother.
So tell me, Claire.
Are you all settled into
Victoria's beautiful,
gracious home?
Are you drinking hot chocolate?
Roasting marshmallows?
The perfect picture
of a loving family?
>> Claire: Yes, that's exactly
where we are, and that is
exactly what we're doing.
>> Jordan: How wonderful
for you.
I hope you get everything
you ever want
until they turn you to ashes.
>> Claire: Do you have
an answer for Victor?
>> Jordan: You tell Victor,
I'll be in touch.
Oh, and Claire,
give Nikki my best.
>> Victoria: Are you okay?
[ Summer sighs ]
[ Chase chuckles ]
[ zipper opens ]
>> Danny: Can you meet me
at Crimson Lights in 15 minutes?
I meant everything
I said to you.
>> Christine: Just watch out
for this one.
She, uh, plays dirty.
>> Phyllis: That's not
who I am anymore.
That's the old Phyllis.
>> Christine: Come on,
there's only one Phyllis.
You'll never change.
>> Phyllis: Don't let the door
hit you on the way out.
>> Danny: Hey, come on.
>> Christine: Okay,
I'll wait 15 minutes.
His sauce is spectacular.
[ Danny sighs ]
>> Phyllis: Okay.
Um, well, I'm glad she's gone.
What a downer she is.
Oh.
Look.
And they're leaving.
Yay, we have the place
all to ourselves, so.
I have this great bottle
of wine. Look.
And I'm sure that we can
maybe find some nuts
and some crackers in the kitchen
and have a really nice evening.
>> Danny: Phyllis, hey.
Just-- just stop, okay?
There's not gonna be
a dinner tonight.
Or nuts or a bottle of wine.
There's not gonna be anything--
anything between us, okay?
Tonight or ever.
>> Danny: I never should've
agreed to this dinner
in the first place.
>> Phyllis: But you did agree.
You agreed.
Why'd you agree?
>> Danny: Because I--
>> Phyllis: No, because...
because there's a part of you
that wanted to have dinner.
There's a part of you
that can't say no to me.
Because you know that
what we have together--
>> Danny: Phyllis, just--
>> Phyllis: Okay, hey, stop.
Christine wins.
>> Danny: Not a competition.
>> Phyllis: It's not
a competition, I know that.
But you are choosing Christine.
>> Danny: Yeah. I am so sorry
I gave you the wrong impression.
>> Phyllis: But you didn't.
See, I think you want this,
but you just chickened out.
>> Danny: No.
No, I...
I truly know what I want.
>> Phyllis: Christine.
>> Danny: And I want
to be your friend.
Don't you understand?
I want to be able to call you
and talk to you about Daniel
and Lucy and have coffee
and catch up when I'm in town.
And it was never meant to be
any more than this, ever.
I promise you that.
And-- and I know that you think
you have these feelings for me,
but I just think it's
because you don't have
many friends right now.
But you can.
You can and you will, all right?
I just can't be one
of those people right now.
Do you understand?
Not-- not right now.
>> Phyllis: Okay.
Well then, go ahead.
You should go.
Really, go ahead.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Hey, Christine's
waiting for you.
You got 15 minutes, you know?
>> Danny: Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?
>> Phyllis: I do understand.
I get it. Don't worry about me.
Really, you-- you can go.
Please don't worry.
I-- I-- Have a good tour.
Okay? Have a good life.
Please. I get it.
I understand.
>> Abby: Are you okay?
>> Chance: That is not how I saw
my evening play out.
>> Summer: Better than
discussing our work in
a restaurant full of people
with too many clothes on?
>> Chance: So much better.
Hm. How did I get so lucky?
>> Summer: You said yes when
I invited you up here.
>> Chance: Ah, it's a bold move.
I loved it.
>> Summer: I have
a confession to make.
>> Chance: Yeah?
>> Summer: I have been
thinking about you all day.
If I didn't run into you,
I was gonna call you and see
if you wanted to get a nightcap.
>> Chance: Ooh.
A woman
who knows what she wants.
I love it.
>> Summer: Okay, and don't
laugh at this part, okay?
>> Chance: Okay.
>> Summer: When I saw you
at the bar by yourself, I kind
of felt like it was a sign.
>> Chance: Well, hey,
I'm an absolute believer
in signs, especially when
they're as beautiful as you.
>> Chance: Hm.
You know what this means, right?
>> Summer: That you're gonna
share your fries with me?
>> Chance: No, I-- I think we're
one of those real couples
that you were talking about.
>> Summer: But we haven't even
gotten to the part where
we discuss our days yet.
>> Chance: Well, you had
a much better idea.
Come on.
And you know what?
I didn't get around
to thanking you for that,
by the way.
>> Victoria: This is
incredibly brave of you.
Thank you.
>> Claire: Jordan was--
was angry and vicious,
which I expected,
but there was something else.
There was an edge,
a desperation.
>> Victoria: Mom, what happened?
Where did you go?
>> Nikki: We got
a call about Seth.
>> Victor: Claire, would you
kindly get your grandmother
some chamomile tea?
>> Claire: Of course.
>> Victor: Thank you.
>> Victoria: What's going on?
>> Victor: Jordan has
struck again.
>> Victor: You know, Seth died.
>> Victoria: What?
How did that happen?
>> Victor: Well, apparently,
that Jordan woman and Seth left
a bar, walked outside, and he,
according to Jordan,
walked right in the path
of a speeding, oncoming car.
>> Victoria: She pushed him?
>> Victor: I know she did.
>> Nikki: She must have
figured out that
Seth was helping me,
was trying to protect me.
>> Victoria: And now she's gone.
>> Victor: Yes, but you're safe,
okay?
>> Victoria: You see?
That is exactly
what I was afraid of.
What if she comes after Claire?
>> Victor: What I'm telling you
is that you are safe as long
as Claire and you stay right
here at the ranch.
>> Victoria: How can that be?
Claire spoke with Jordan.
That makes her a target.
>> Victor: What did Jordan say?
[ Victoria sighing ]
>> Victoria: She's intrigued
by the proposition.
>> Victor: Well, that's good.
>> Victoria: No, there's nothing
good about it.
Claire said that she sounded
even more unhinged than usual.
What if she comes
after my daughter?
>> Victor: She's not gonna come
after your daughter,
nor after you.
>> Victoria: Dad, I'm sorry,
but that's-- that's just
not a promise that you can keep.
>> Nikki: Jordan is still
toying with us.
She wants us to think
that she has the upper hand.
>> Victor: But that's exactly
what I want her to believe,
all right?
Now, my plan is in motion.
This will all be over with soon.
>> Jordan: That ungrateful,
spiteful little brat.
How-- how dare
she talk to me like that?
I think someone needs a lesson.
I think they all do.
[ Jordan chuckles ]
[ Jordan grunts ]
Oh, my.
Well,
the fun doesn't have to end yet.
[ Christine sighs ]
>> Danny: Hey.
>> Christine: Hi. I was almost
ready to give up on you.
>> Danny: I'm so glad
you didn't.
>> Christine: So, what happened
with Phyllis after I left,
or do I even want to know?
>> Danny: No, everything was--
was quite civilized.
>> Christine: I find
that hard to believe.
>> Danny: I told her
that I want you.
And that she and I have
no future together,
except parents to Daniel.
And that I'd like to be
her friend, but maybe it wasn't
wise right now, if ever.
>> Christine: Okay, what, wait?
And she didn't make a scene,
throw some dishes,
try and seduce you?
>> Danny: No, no,
none of the above.
No, she was-- she was
very understanding.
>> Christine: Wait, what?
That's impossible.
>> Danny: Look, like I said,
she took this whole thing
very graciously.
>> Christine: Why does
that worry me more than
if she had broken a few things
or tried to shove her tongue
down your throat?
>> Danny: Hey,
I know this has been
an incredible challenge for you.
>> Christine: It's been hell.
>> Danny: I'm sorry.
But she really isn't
the same Phyllis.
>> Christine: Danny, that's what
she wants you to believe.
So, you'll let your guard down,
then she'll come
right at you again.
I-- I just don't want
to be a part of this circus
any more than you do.
>> Danny: I think it's safe
to say the circus is behind us,
all right?
It's gonna be different
this time.
Phyllis was different.
I saw it in her eyes.
There's this acceptance.
I really believe that she's--
she's ready to accept
the truth about you and me.
>> Christine: I-- I hope so.
>> Phyllis: Hm.
You sure you don't want
some of this?
>> Abby: No, thank you.
>> Phyllis: All right.
Well, more for me.
This was a good year.
Better than the year I'm having.
>> Abby: You and Christine,
that was pretty intense.
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
It was intense.
Do you see how she is?
So possessive.
She has no sense of humor.
She's so boring.
I don't get it, Abby.
I don't get why he loves her.
>> Abby: That's what tonight was
supposed to be about.
You were gonna convince Danny
that he wants you.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
But, uh, he chose Christine.
She wins again.
I mean, not that it's
a competition because she's
not competition for me.
>> Abby: Maybe it's time
to move on.
>> Phyllis: I'm moving on,
please. I've moved on.
I will fully move on after
I finish this bottle of wine.
Why do you care, Abby?
You don't even like me.
>> Abby: I don't, no, but...
I saw how much effort
you put into this evening.
You were trying to make
it special and then
it just fell apart.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
Thanks to Christine.
>> Abby: Maybe you're
lying to yourself.
>> Phyllis: What?
What are you saying?
>> Christine: Look, you may
have been right about me being
a little too willing to engage
in battle with Phyllis over you.
I...
I said and I did some
things that I regret.
Things that I know
made you uncomfortable and--
and unhappy and I just want you
to know I'm sorry.
>> Danny: Hey.
You brought me some
lovely masala chai tea.
It was good.
>> Christine: How do you
do that?
How do you just be
so kind and forgiving?
>> Danny: Because I'm inspired.
That's why.
>> Christine: Listen,
I meant what I said before.
You're not some door prize
that I'm trying
to beat Phyllis out of.
You're the man
I'm falling back in love with.
>> Danny: Hey.
What do you say we keep Phyllis
out of this entire conversation,
okay?
And talk about something else?
Can we do that?
>> Christine: Anything.
>> Danny: Okay, okay,
good, good.
Let's talk about my tour.
>> Christine: Oh, God.
I mean, the fact that you're
leaving when we finally have
a chance to reconnect
without any interference.
>> Danny: What does
your agenda look like
for the next six weeks?
>> Christine: Why are you
asking that?
>> Danny: Because if
you're free,
I would love for you to join me
on the first leg of my tour.
>> Christine: And I wouldn't be
in the way?
>> Danny: No.
No, are you kidding?
I would-- I would sing
to you every night.
I would find you out there
in the crowd somehow,
and it would just be you and me.
What do you say?
Like old times.
Together and inseparable.
>> Abby: All right, clearly,
that's what this is all about.
This is about beating Christine.
Just admit it.
>> Phyllis: Trust me, it wasn't.
But now, it is.
>> Abby: Well,
that definitely doesn't sound
like you're moving on.
>> Phyllis: You see,
Christine thinks she's won
because Danny ran after her.
But I'm gonna make
her wish she never had.
>> Chance: Yes.
>> Victor: Claire,
Victoria tells me
that you spoke with Jordan.
>> Claire: I did.
>> Victor: How did she seem?
>> Claire: Angry.
Amped up, definitely rattled.
