>> Chelsea: I have enormous
faith in therapy and treatment.
I really do.
But, um, I'm just not sure
I know how to do this.
And I'm actually not
quite sure I-- I can do this.
Um, deal with Connor's OCD,
his, um, his treatment, I mean.
>> Alcott: You're not
the first parent
to worry that they won't
be able to cope with
this kind of diagnosis.
But once you have all
the information and are equipped
with the right tools,
I think you'll find you're
stronger than you believe, more
than capable of helping Connor.
>> Chelsea: My situation
is-- is different.
I'm-- I'm not talking about
your average, everyday,
run-of-the-mill
parental anxiety.
Things are, um, different for me
because of my past.
And I'm worried that it's gonna
make things much worse for
my sweet little boy,
if it hasn't already.
>> Adam: I haven't really had
a chance to check out
your new room.
>> Connor: Yeah.
>> Adam: It's nice.
I, uh, I can help you put away
your stuff you asked for
from home if you want?
>> Connor: No,
you'll do it wrong.
>> Adam: Do you like this room
better than the other room?
You never really explained to us
why you wanted to change rooms.
>> Connor: I don't wanna
talk about it.
>> Adam: Well, it must be
a pretty big reason for you to
wanna up and move in
the middle of the school year.
>> Connor: It's no big deal,
all right?
>> Adam: Connor, come on.
I'm your old man.
You can tell me anything.
Is there a problem
with another student?
>> Connor: Nothing like that.
>> Adam: Well, then what?
You didn't like the view?
Didn't like the color
of the walls?
It was too far
from the dining hall, hmm?
>> Connor: It was me.
>> Adam: You?
What does that mean?
>> Connor: I couldn't stay in
there because of me
and my craziness.
♪♪
>> Kyle: There's definitely
more to Claire's story than what
she and Victoria were willing
to share.
>> Summer: Yeah, I'm not saying
that anybody has to tell us
anything, but the way that
Victoria was so careful with
each of her words, it...
I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe I am wrong.
Maybe I'm overreacting.
Sure, Claire was sweet, and she
did have some sort of an instant
connection with Harrison,
and he was in a very bad mood,
and she made him smile and
come out of his shell.
>> Kyle: It's a nice change of
pace after how the day started.
>> Summer: Not just today.
I mean, we haven't seen
Harrison's happy, usual self in
a while now, and I just--
I do want him to feel
safe again, like he was
before Linda went away,
and definitely before--
>> Kyle: When we split up.
>> Summer: Yeah.
Look, I'm not saying no
to interviewing Claire.
I'm just saying before
we really consider it,
we need to do some research.
>> Nick: Mom?
Dad? Vic?
>> Victor: Son, didn't realize
you were coming.
>> Nick: Where is everyone?
[ banging ]
>> Jordan: Ah! Ow! Ow!
Damn it.
>> Claire: She doesn't
sound happy.
>> Victoria: Just wait until
she sees us.
>> Jordan: Is someone there?
[ banging ]
Is someone there? Help me!
Help me! I'm locked in here
to die like an animal!
Please, let me out!
Someone help me!
Oh, thank God!
[ gasping ]
>> Nikki: Sorry to burst
your bubble, Jordan,
but this isn't a rescue party.
>> Jordan: Get out!
Get out!
>> Nikki: She says that as if
she has any power here.
>> Jordan: Oh.
I can take you all.
>> Nikki: I would advise you
not to try anything.
>> Claire: The three of us could
easily take you.
>> Jordan: Aren't you suddenly
so brave?
And you? Bluffing!
[ Jordan laughing ]
What kind of sick tea party
is this, huh?
This is ridiculous.
>> Claire: Looks like
she's broken a nail.
Ooh, several of them.
>> Victoria: Did she really
think she'd be able to claw
her way out of here?
>> Nikki: Guess she's not as
smart as she thinks she is.
>> Jordan: Stop it.
Just stop it.
>> Nikki: Not much fun being
locked up against your will,
is it?
>> Jordan: That's it?
That's all you got?
You merely came to gloat?
>> Nikki: After all the hell
you have put us through,
I can't think of a better
way to spend an afternoon.
Ladies, who wants to go first?
>> Victor: Your mother has taken
your sister and Claire
to where Jordan is.
>> Nick: What are you
talking about?
>> Victor: Your mother insisted
on confronting Jordan.
And Claire and Victoria are with
her right now as we speak.
>> Nick: Dad, are you serious?
How is that remotely
a good idea?
>> Victor: I agree with you.
I was more than reluctant
to give my okay.
However, your mother thinks
confronting that Jordan
woman would allow her to
reclaim her own strength,
allow her to remain sober.
>> Nick: What about Claire and
Victoria? Why are they there?
>> Victor: Well, they feel
similarly empowered by
confronting Jordan
and showing Jordan that she can
no longer terrorize them.
I don't like the whole thing.
>> Nick: Some strong women
in this family.
>> Victor: You can say
that again.
>> Chelsea: I'm not sure
if you noticed, but earlier,
I mentioned getting
help for my own issues.
I attempted suicide about
a year and a half ago.
I was on the roof of a building,
standing on a ledge,
ready to jump.
Convinced it was the only way to
escape the pain that had
become pretty much unbearable.
You know,
my own intrusive thoughts,
similar to Connor's, I suppose.
Uh, the only reason I'm here
now is a friend was able
to get to me in time.
He stopped me.
And even though he held me in
his arms and told me everything
was gonna be okay...
I just wanted it all to be over.
>> Alcott: You sought help?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
I went to an inpatient facility
and I had an amazing therapist.
It was really hard at first,
you know, digging through
years of emotions I had been
ignoring pretty much, but, um,
eventually it got easier and
I've been in therapy ever since.
>> Alcott: What you've done
takes a great deal of strength.
You should be very proud
of yourself.
>> Chelsea: Thanks. I am proud.
I am proud, but I have
to be honest with you.
Yeah, the guilt-- the guilt--
I'm starting to feel that
maybe I...
I passed something
horrible onto my son.
It's overwhelming.
>> Adam: Connor, we talked
about this, right?
The "crazy" word?
That is just the OCD talking.
Because you, Connor Newman,
you are the greatest kid ever.
>> Connor: Who's crazy.
>> Adam: Buddy--
>> Connor: Call it what you
want. It's still what it is.
>> Adam: We're gonna
fix this, okay?
And everything is gonna be okay.
Can we get back to the room
change for a second? Was
somebody being a jerk to you?
Was someone bullying you,
Connor?
>> Connor: No, that's not it.
>> Adam: Look, I'm sorry.
I'm trying to understand
so I can help you.
>> Connor: It was
the room number.
>> Adam: Okay.
It was the room number.
Well, your favorite number is
seven, or anything that can be
divided by seven. Those are your
lucky numbers, right?
>> Connor: My room was 23.
Two and three add up to five,
and... that's bad.
>> Adam: You know what
my favorite number is?
21.
>> Connor: Because of Vegas.
>> Adam: Excuse me?
>> Connor: You like to gamble.
>> Adam: Who told you that?
>> Connor: Johnny overheard
his mom and dad talking about it
one day. That...
you used to live in Vegas
and liked to play cards.
[ Adam sighing ]
>> Adam: Well, that--
that was another lifetime ago.
So, this retreat that
Dr. Alcott was suggesting,
what do you think?
>> Connor: The hospital
for crazy people.
>> Adam: Connor,
that is not what this is.
It's a place where people
that know about this kind
of stuff, they can get
you the help that you need.
Wouldn't that be a relief
to not have to worry
so much about this?
>> Connor: You said we didn't
have to decide yet.
>> Adam: Well, I said that
we would talk about it.
And that's what we're doing
right now.
>> Connor: I don't wanna go,
Dad. I'm scared.
>> Adam: I get moving to a new
place can be scary,
but your mom and I,
we could do everything we can to
make it easier for you.
>> Connor: There's nothing
you can do,
so there's no point.
>> Adam: I'm sure that we could
get the room numbers in advance.
I'm sure that wouldn't be
a problem.
>> Connor: I know where
everything is here.
I know where everything is
at home. But there?
I wouldn't know
where anything is.
I'll be alone.
>> Adam: How?
Connor, you would
make friends there.
>> Connor: I don't have
friends here.
How would I have friends there?
>> Adam: It's gonna be
all right, okay?
>> Connor: Not if I have to go
to that place.
>> Adam: Let's just see how
this all plays out.
We're just starting
this whole process.
And like you said, you know,
no decisions have been made yet.
Okay?
>> Kyle: I'm in total agreement.
We find out what we can about
Claire and her past,
and then we go from there.
>> Summer: Wouldn't it be nice
if she was perfect, though?
>> Kyle: Yeah.
But something to consider
is she may not even be
interested in the job.
>> Summer: She did say that
she wants to work with
children, right?
>> Kyle: It doesn't mean she
wants to be a nanny.
But I still think it's worth
a shot.
>> Summer: Okay.
I'm gonna do some digging,
see if I can come up
with the parts of the story that
Victoria didn't share with us,
and we'll go from there.
>> Jordan: So that's
why you're here?
You're here for closure?
There will never be any closure.
And you better believe that
I'm going to come haunt each
of you every minute of
every day and every night
for the rest of your lives.
>> Victoria: She's so dramatic.
>> Claire: She's always been
like that, but it's a lot less
effective than I remember.
>> Victoria: That's interesting.
>> Jordan: Just stop it.
>> Nikki: You can rant
and rave all you want.
Your days of terrorizing
our family are over.
>> Jordan: You tell yourself
that when you're all alone,
pouring yourself a really
tall glass of vodka.
Oh! [ chuckles ]
You're drunk right now,
aren't you?
Of course you are.
Because it's the only way
you could get yourself
ginned up to confront me.
>> Nikki: I haven't had a drop
in days.
You may have stolen my sobriety,
but I've taken it back.
>> Victoria: Just like you stole
my daughter,
but now she's home
where she belongs.
>> Claire: And like you stole
my life,
but I'm getting it back with
a family that loves me.
It's even better than
I could have dreamed.
>> Jordan: You are
all so stupid.
Whining, strutting around,
worrying about what I did
to you, what you deserved.
You think that will
solve all your problems?
Do you really think
it's that easy, Nikki?
>> Nikki: Remind me.
Which one of us was stupid
enough to get tricked into being
locked in this basement?
>> Jordan: Time has
given me clarity.
>> Victoria: Is she for real?
>> Jordan: You know,
for years I have studied you.
I've seen your arrogance
and I predict nothing but
tragedy and doom for you.
And you!
And you,
you ungrateful little brat.
>> Claire: Don't you dare speak
to my daughter like that.
>> Jordan: Your daughter?
Your bouncing baby daughter?
Now all grown up and full
of just so much hate.
What do you think she
might do next, huh?
Maybe try to kill you again.
Maybe this time with success.
>> Victoria: Well, that was all
due to you.
To your influence.
>> Jordan: Whatever you say.
You know, I raised her.
And I loved her.
Do you trust her?
Do you, Victoria?
Because you couldn't really
love her if you don't trust her.
That's what a mother does.
>> Claire: You used me.
>> Jordan: You see how
she loathes me?
Is that what you want?
You better watch out.
Because who knows if
she will turn on you.
>> Victoria: There's nothing you
can do or say that would make
me doubt my daughter.
She has all of my love
and trust.
Neither of which you
understand at all.
>> Jordan: Well then,
welcome her into your home.
But I would sleep
with one eye open.
>> Victoria: You're a monster.
>> Jordan: No, no, no.
I see the world for what it is.
Every man, every woman.
Just the way I raised Claire.
Eye on the prize, right, honey?
She snowed all of you
as Nikki's assistant.
Competent, honest, beautiful.
Who's to say that she's not
scamming you right now
as the long lost daughter?
Until...
Snap.
>> Claire: I've changed.
I've gotten help.
I know what love
and family are now.
>> Jordan: You
understand nothing.
How much heart do you have
left, huh, Victoria?
How much heart?
I mean, you couldn't even
hold on to a man, could you?
Or a house.
All you have left is all
the Newman's grandeur
and the Newman name
to keep you going.
>> Nikki: That's enough
out of you. Shut up, bitch.
[ Jordan laughing ]
>> Jordan: No, no, no, no.
You shut up!
'Cause I know what
you really want.
All you really want is to
run out to a liquor store and
find the best bottle of vodka
you can find and guzzle it down
so all of this will go away.
>> Nikki: I don't think so,
Jordan.
Because, you see, I have won.
I've survived you.
I've survived your attack
on my sobriety.
And now, to see you here like
this, humiliated, exposing what
a miserable human being you are,
well, it's just another reminder
that I am much stronger
without a drink.
>> Jordan: I wish you could've
shared that joy with
your poor sponsor, Seth.
He's dead because of you.
>> Nikki: He's dead because
of you! Because you
are a serial killer.
>> Victoria: It's over.
You've lost.
You can never hurt us again.
>> Jordan: What a pretty
picture.
>> Nikki: I hope that
pretty picture torments you
for the rest of your life,
because the three of us
are bound in love, in strength,
something that you could never
have any comprehension of.
But at least you'll have
plenty of time to think
about it, because you will
be in prison forever.
>> Jordan: Oh.
Oh, so Victor's not gonna
keep me here and feed me spoiled
food and the occasional rat?
>> Nikki: Lady, if I had my way,
you'd never leave this hellhole,
which quite literally
was of your own making.
So, I guess the next best
thing is to know that you
will slowly, oh, so slowly,
rot away in your cell.
>> Jordan: Do you hear
that, Claire?
All I did
was do what had to be done.
Avenge my sister's
humiliation with the Newmans,
with their crocodile tears.
They can get away with anything
with the Newman name.
>> Claire: You're sick, Jordan.
>> Jordan: And what are you?
You think you're gonna
fit right in here?
You think that?
You're gonna be just like
your new Uncle Adam.
Another black sheep.
Another outcast.
Only, worse for you,
because you're half Howard.
>> Claire: You can't get
to me anymore.
I'm right where I wanna be,
where I always belonged.
>> Jordan: You hateful
little backstabber.
I hope that selling out to these
vipers makes you miserable
with every last breath you take.
>> Victoria: Our family loves
and accepts Claire completely.
She has the love and the home
that you stole from her, but
you're just gonna die all alone.
>> Jordan: Maybe.
Or maybe...
someone else might die
sooner rather than later.
>> Nikki: What is that?
>> Jordan: Something
you've forgotten.
That while you've been running
off your mouth, I'm the one
that's still in charge.
>> Adam: Hey, you know what?
We can go get some pizza.
Get a few slices
with extra pepperoni.
>> Connor: I'm not hungry.
>> Adam: Okay. Well, then...
maybe we can hang here.
Hmm?
We can unpack the bag
that I brought for you.
>> Connor: I told you,
you'd do it wrong.
>> Adam: You could show me.
>> Connor: I don't wanna
be here.
>> Adam: What do you mean,
you don't wanna be "here"?
>> Connor: I hate it.
>> Adam: Hate what?
You hate this room?
>> Connor: I hate this school.
I don't want to go to that place
for crazies Dr. Alcott
wants to send me to.
>> Adam: Connor, she thinks
that it could help you.
>> Connor: Maybe nothing
can help me.
>> Adam: Connor, look at me.
You're not alone in this.
You know that, right?
Your mom and I, we just want
what's best for you.
And maybe that's
the residential program.
Maybe it's something else.
But whatever it is,
we're gonna be with you
every step of the way.
>> Connor: Do you mean that?
>> Adam: Of course I mean that.
>> Connor: Then you won't
make me go to that place.
I wanna go home.
I'll be good.
I'll do everything
I'm supposed to.
Please, Dad.
Can I come home?
>> Adam: Absolutely.
Absolutely.
>> Chelsea: Connor is such
a sensitive kid.
He picks up on my every mood,
even more so since
my suicide attempt.
>> Alcott: That's not unusual.
>> Chelsea: My actions have
already caused him so much pain.
I can't be more of a burden
to him. I can't cause him
any more suffering than
I already have.
>> Alcott: It's important for
Connor and for you and Adam
to understand there is
no issue of blame involved here.
>> Chelsea: But how could
my child be in so much pain
and I didn't notice?
Why were we not more aware?
>> Alcott: There are probably
a collection of reasons,
including Connor didn't want
you or anyone else to find out
what he was going through.
What's important is that
he's getting treatment now,
so there is no it's too
late in this scenario.
>> Chelsea: But what if...
>> Alcott: Go on.
>> Chelsea: For years, I acted
out to avoid the voices in
my head, until eventually,
one day, they chased me
onto a ledge.
Connor says things
like he hates himself.
He says things like he doesn't
wanna be here, and that
he has scary thoughts.
And so he counts or he organizes
things or he cleans things in
order to make them go away.
But what if it's not enough?
What if one day,
those scary thoughts chase him
onto a ledge before we're
able to get him treatment?
>> Chelsea: I'm sorry. I mean,
you must think I'm so selfish.
I'm not trying to
make it about myself.
I just, if my issues are at
all responsible for what
Connor's going through, I--
>> Alcott: No blame, remember?
And what you see as a liability
is actually a great asset.
>> Chelsea: What do you mean?
>> Alcott: You've struggled
with mental health.
You are especially sensitive to
what Connor's needs are
and will be.
You understand there's no quick
fix, that it's a process.
You're on the right path.
>> Chelsea: You really think
this residential facility
is the best step?
>> Alcott: The exposure and
response prevention treatment
is a critical step in
helping Connor habituate to
the uncomfortable feelings that
spark his ritualistic behaviors.
It's not an easy process,
but it's a path to
managing the disorder.
I suggest you make the decision
as soon as possible.
>> Chelsea: Okay, I'll talk
to his father,
and I'll get back to you.
Thank you for the talk and
answering my questions
and holding my hand.
>> Nick: Hey, you.
>> Summer: Hi, Dad.
Thanks for meeting with me.
>> Nick: Sure.
>> Summer: Is Grandpa here?
>> Victor: Hi, sweetheart.
>> Summer: Grandpa.
>> Victor: There you are.
Nice to see you. My goodness.
>> Summer: You too.
>> Nick: Did you make that call?
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Nick: Did you get an update?
>> Victor: Things are being
taken care of as we speak.
>> Nick: Everything's all right?
>> Victor: Everything is fine.
Please, sweetheart, have a seat.
Right.
>> Summer: Well, I hope I didn't
drag you away
from anything too important.
>> Victor: Not at all.
You're here.
My granddaughter.
That's more important.
There something you wanna
talk about specifically?
>> Summer: Yeah. I guess I just
had a few questions
about Claire. You see,
Kyle and I brought Harrison
to Crimson Lights earlier today,
and we ran into Aunt Victoria,
and Claire was with her,
and it-- it's just so wild.
Everybody thought that she died
after she was born,
but she's actually alive
and well and living here.
>> Victor: I know.
>> Nick: Yeah, it is a hell
of a story.
>> Summer: Thank you.
Well, she seemed really great,
and Harrison adored
her right off the bat.
We had a nice conversation,
but it did kind of seem like
Aunt Victoria didn't
really wanna get into
the details of Claire's past,
where she's been all this time.
I guess I just wanted to ask,
um, what should I know
about my new cousin?
>> Nick: Claire's backstory is
complicated and ugly.
Truth is, it's not going to be
as easy for some members
of this family to completely
welcome Claire into this family.
>> Summer: What exactly
went down with Claire?
>> Victor: As part of
our family,
you need to know
the unvarnished truth.
>> Summer: Claire really was
a part in trying to kill
all of you?
>> Victor: She was raised
to hate us.
And she was used by her aunt
as a weapon against us.
She's as much a victim
of her aunt as we have been.
>> Summer: What?
That somehow excuses her?
Why isn't Claire in prison?
>> Victor: Because, my lawyer,
Michael Baldwin, saw to it
that she be put into
a mental institution.
>> Summer: I saw in the press
that Claire was in a hospital.
That was a psychiatric ward?
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Summer: I knew that
Aunt Victoria wasn't telling me
the whole story, but this, I...
I don't even have any words.
>> Victor: I know, Summer.
This is a lot to absorb, okay?
But I ask you to give Claire
the benefit of the doubt,
considering all that
she has been through.
>> Summer: What about what
she put you through?
>> Victor: Oh, darling,
that's all in the past, okay?
Now, we all need to welcome her
into our family.
>> Summer: Dad?
You haven't said much.
>> Nick: It's not as easy
for me, given what happened
at the lake house.
>> Summer: No kidding.
You were drugged and stabbed.
>> Nick: It's not just that.
It's the fact that Claire
is one of the reasons why
Mom's sobriety is destroyed.
Every time I look at Mom and see
her struggling and in pain,
I cannot just forgive and
forget what happened.
Now, for Victoria's sake,
I will be civil.
I will be kind.
I will give Claire her chance to
prove herself in this family.
But it's gonna take me some time
to get over what she and
Jordan did to my mom.
>> Victor: I understand
your father, Summer.
But this is on Jordan.
And trust me,
she's being dealt with...
as we speak.
>> Jordan: As Nikki so
charmingly put it,
this is a hellhole.
I should know.
I created it.
And I am nothing
if not thorough.
Toxin?
More lethal than the one
I used at the lake house?
You see, my original plan
was to capture you and
Victor here and provide you with
the ultimate way out together.
But alas, on to plan B.
>> Nikki: You are beyond evil.
>> Jordan: I am so sick
of your pompous yapping.
You think that your money and
your name puts you in charge.
>> Nikki: Oh, please.
You are the one with delusions
of grandeur, going around
claiming that you're
righting wrongs when in reality,
your life has been meaningless.
I-- I can just see it,
when you get to prison,
begging others to listen to
your stories of how
when you would stick it
to the Newman family.
And you know what?
They're not gonna listen to you,
because they won't care.
You will not be
an avenging crusader.
You'll just be another
inmate with a number.
[ Jordan laughing ]
>> Jordan: Nikki, are you really
so stupid that you believe
that future's going to happen?
That's not going to happen,
because, you see, this is not
your ultimate way out.
It's mine.
Ta-ta, Claire.
And you can all just go to hell.
>> Adam: Nice.
Everyone up for a round
of hot chocolate?
>> Connor: I wanna go up
to the apartment.
>> Adam: What? Already?
I mean, I think one of
these delicious brownies
is calling your name.
>> Connor: Mom might have
changed something in my room.
I'll need to fix it.
>> Chelsea: No, I didn't touch
anything, sweetheart, I promise.
>> Connor: Still, I need to.
>> Chelsea: Well, can't we just
be together for a little bit?
>> Connor: We were just in
the car together.
>> Chelsea: True. Um,
but, Connor,
we need to make some decisions.
So, um, Dr. Alcott
highly recommends
this ERP residential program.
>> Adam: You know what?
It has been a long day.
Maybe we could, uh,
we could talk about this later.
>> Connor: Yeah. I'm tired.
>> Chelsea: Well, sweetie,
I don't think this is something
that we can just put aside,
okay? This is really important,
and we have to figure
some things out.
Connor, I know you're concerned
about falling behind
with your schoolwork,
but if we stay on top of it now,
we can make sure that you keep
up with all your classwork while
you're in treatment.
Connor, I-- I know this all
feels very weird and scary.
The idea of going to some
retreat probably freaks you out,
but, you know, once we find
the right place for you,
I-- I promise you're gonna
start to feel better.
So what do you say?
>> Connor: Dad says I don't
have to go if I don't want to.
And I don't.
>> Kyle: Well, that took
a while. What'd you find out
about Claire?
>> Summer: Well, my dad and
grandpa had plenty to say.
And it's a good thing
that we checked.
>> Kyle: Uh, okay. That doesn't
sound like good news.
>> Summer: Bottom line,
it would be a colossal mistake
for us to let Claire look after
Harrison or be alone
with him, ever.
>> Kyle: How did we get
to colossal?
>> Summer: My cousin is
emotionally and--
and mentally unstable.
Kyle, the things that she's
done, what she's capable of,
I-- I can't even believe
that anyone would accept her
into the family.
>> Jordan: No final words
for me?
The woman who loved you?
Who made all these sacrifices
for you?
Oh...
>> Claire: What do--
what do we do?
>> Victoria: Maybe we should
help her.
>> Nikki: We didn't even know
there was poison here.
We didn't force her to take it.
She swallowed it willingly.
>> Victoria: Yes, but she
swallowed it to avoid justice.
Is that what we want?
>> Claire: After everything
Jordan's put us through,
everything she's taken from us,
does she deserve to live or die?
