[ knock on door ]
>> Daniel: Hey.
Is this a bad time?
>> Lily: What are you
doing here?
>> Daniel: Well, I texted you
asking if I could stop by,
but I never heard back, so...
>> Lily: Well, I'm busy.
>> Daniel: Right.
But I checked with Esther and
she seemed to think that you
might have some time in between
your meetings.
>> Lily: Well, she thought
wrong. I don't have time for
whatever this is.
>> Daniel: I wanna discuss
the lawsuit.
The arbitration date's
coming up.
>> Lily: Yes,
I am aware of that.
>> Daniel: I think that if you
and I could just talk
one-on-one, you know,
before this all gets
completely out of hand--
>> Lily: There's nothing
to talk about.
You're suing Chancellor-Winters
and we're gonna fight back.
>> Daniel: Lily, you know
this isn't right.
I'm not asking for everything.
I am just asking for the pieces
of OmegaSphere that are
closest to my heart.
>> Devon: Gosh, Dominic's gonna
be a little mountain climber,
isn't he?
>> Abby: Oh, my gosh, he's
obsessed with the monkey bars.
It took a while for him to get
the hang of 'em, but now he is
a pro.
>> Devon: I know.
Nothing stops him either.
He'll fall down, scrape himself
up, get blisters and bruises.
>> Abby: Oh, yeah, he just dusts
himself off and gets
back up again.
>> Devon: Where do you think
he gets that stubbornness from?
You or me?
>> Abby: Hm.
Okay, I might be a little bit
stubborn, but you...
>> Devon: I know.
I can take it to another level.
>> Abby: I think it's
a good thing, though.
>> Devon: Really?
>> Abby: Yeah.
So, before you mentioned that
there were some things going on
at work?
No, what is it?
Was it Mamie?
>> Devon: No.
It's, uh, Billy, actually.
>> Abby: Billy, yeah.
Of course.
What did he do this time?
>> Devon: He told Lily and me
that Jill handed over all of her
power at Chancellor-Winters
to him.
>> Abby: Wait, what?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Abby: All of her power?
>> Devon: All of her power.
She's taken a step back
and he has control.
>> Abby: Okay, well that doesn't
make any sense.
>> Devon: No, it doesn't make
any sense at all.
Which is why I don't think Jill
made this call on her own.
>> Abby: What do you mean?
>> Devon: I mean that this feels
like a move by Billy to assert
his control over us.
And I'm not gonna stand
for it.
♪♪
>> Ashley: Hi.
Well, hi.
Fancy meeting you here.
>> Audra: Oh, look who it is.
>> Ashley: Yeah, so please tell
me you've wised up about Tucker.
>> Audra: Oh, my God,
we're back to that?
>> Ashley: I know, I'm sorry.
I can't help it.
I really can't.
I mean, I just don't understand
why you're so taken with him.
Oh, well. I guess everybody has
their blind spots.
>> Audra: Um, of the two of us,
I'm the one
with the issues here.
>> Ashley: You know what, here
you are all by yourself, right?
A grown woman ready to take on
the world.
So maybe you really have
ditched that snake?
>> Audra: Sorry to disappoint
you, but Tucker and I are solid.
We're connected.
>> Ashley: Aw.
>> Audra: We're actually leaving
town for a bit.
>> Ashley: Travel?
I love that.
Where to?
>> Audra: You know where.
>> Ashley: No?
Seriously, you're going to...
What?
I mean, oh, I know, because
Tucker's relationships always
work out so well for him
in Paris.
>> Tucker: Hey, Doc.
>> Alan: Ah, Alan will do.
Good to see you, Tucker.
>> Tucker: Good to see you too.
Leaving so soon?
>> Alan: Um, yes.
I have business elsewhere.
>> Tucker: So, you're just gonna
leave your friend, Ashley,
in the lurch here?
>> Alan: Is that how you see it?
>> Tucker: Yeah.
That's how I see it.
She needs help.
Desperately.
You gotta do something
about it.
>> Alan: And what kind of help
do you think I can offer Ashley?
>> Tucker: You're
the psychologist.
You're her friend.
I am asking you to stay
on top of this.
Don't go on your merry way now.
>> Alan: This matters a lot
to you.
>> Tucker: It's not really
about me, though.
Give her some insight.
Give her some guidance.
Be her therapist.
Be her friend. Whatever.
Just do something.
>> Alan: Look, I don't think
Ashley would be very comfortable
with me discussing her
with her ex.
>> Tucker: All right, then
consider me a concerned friend.
>> Alan: Okay.
Well, what makes you so certain
that she needs
psychological therapy?
There must be some kind of
signs you've seen to bring you
to this conclusion.
>> Tucker: Oh, man, I could give
you a play-by-play of all her
disturbing and bizarre behavior
since our honeymoon in Paris.
>> Alan: I know.
I understand that didn't end
too well.
>> Tucker: No, it did not.
She convinced herself
that I would behave violently
toward her.
And it took her months
to realize she was mistaken
about that.
But ever since, it's been one
wild personality swing
after the other.
>> Alan: Well, people are
entitled to their emotions.
>> Tucker: It's deeper
than that.
I mean, given your profession
and how well you know her,
you have to have seen that.
And her family is absolutely
terrified for her.
Has, um, uh, Traci or Jack
approached you?
>> Alan: Do you think it's
possible that some of what
Ashley's going through might be
a result of your behavior, or...
>> Tucker: I will admit to you
that I was not the perfect
husband in the short time
we were married.
And I'm very sorry for
the ways we hurt each other.
We both made mistakes.
Um...
And I probably could've been
a little more supportive.
>> Alan: Have you told
Ashley that?
>> Tucker: Alan, whatever is
going on with Ashley is not
gonna be solved by a kind word
from me.
So, you can catch your flight or
you can stick around and do
something to help her.
She is not gonna get well
if left on her own.
>> Audra: Do you find this
entertaining?
Because I find it boring.
>> Ashley: Oh, I'm just trying
to make friendly conversation.
>> Audra: Well, maybe you can
find someone else
to have it with.
You know, someone you haven't
insulted a dozen times.
>> Ashley: I totally get that.
>> Audra: Look, lady, I am not
trying to be rude, but I just
don't see the point.
I-- I don't know
what you want from me.
>> Ashley: I don't want anything
from you. I really don't.
I just--
As you know, I think
you can do better.
I mean, Tucker's not worth
the trouble. That's all.
>> Audra: Yeah, for you,
obviously.
But Tucker isn't trouble
for me.
We have something real
and honest and it's unlike
anything I've ever had before.
>> Ashley: Unlike anything
you've ever had
and that's a good thing?
>> Audra: You know, you either
don't want to see how solid
Tucker and I are or you just
can't understand.
But I don't give up on him when
things get tough.
I don't give him mixed messages
or patronize him.
That's the difference.
>> Ashley: Wonderful.
Love should be cherished
and celebrated and I wish you
only the best.
>> Audra: You know, maybe that
visit from your therapist friend
is helping.
You seem a little more
even-keeled.
>> Ashley: Alan, mm.
He's a charmer, isn't he?
>> Audra: You might wanna
be careful there.
>> Ashley: Oh, why?
>> Audra: Well, you know,
the whole doctor-patient thing.
Might not be the best idea
to get involved
with your therapist.
>> Ashley: Look at you.
You're gonna give me
dating advice?
Now, that's adorable.
>> Abby: Okay, yes.
I understand why you would be
suspicious of Billy.
The method and the timing of
the announcement is
quite strange.
>> Devon: Yeah, I'd say so.
Especially since Jill hasn't
mentioned a word of it.
And we've been on calls with
her and in meetings about the
Daniel lawsuit and about Mamie
and nothing.
>> Abby: Okay, so what's
Jill's explanation?
>> Devon: Oh, we don't get
to hear it. You know why?
'Cause Billy told us she's
unreachable while traveling.
>> Abby: Okay, that is odd.
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Abby: So Billy drops this
huge bomb and Jill's not even
around to corroborate it?
>> Devon: Nope.
It's classic Billy.
To do something that's
underhanded with
an ulterior motive.
>> Abby: Okay, look.
Let's say that Billy is telling
the truth and Jill has handed
her role over to him.
Is it so she can focus on her
personal life instead
of business?
She has earned the right
to do that.
>> Devon: Sure she has, but she
wouldn't do that without talking
to me and Lily first.
We're her partners.
>> Abby: Well, that would've
been a much better way
to handle it instead of having
it come through Billy.
>> Devon: You think so? Yeah.
And also, if she did do this,
why blindside us?
Why blindside Lily?
Those two are close.
She put Lily in charge of
Chancellor Industries.
Just gonna pull the rug out
from under her like that?
>> Abby: I don't know,
but she must have a good reason.
>> Devon: But she also is aware
of the tension between
me and Billy.
So to just hand him power like
this, a grenade like that,
without warning me?
Come on.
>> Abby: Jill is smarter
than that.
So she's either being
careless or...
>> Devon: Or she wants
to go to war.
>> Lily: I don't know why you
don't understand this,
but OmegaSphere is not yours.
It belongs to
Chancellor-Winters.
>> Daniel: That platform
wouldn't exist without me.
It was my vision
and my direction
that made it successful.
>> Lily: Yeah, your vision
and your direction because
of our offices and our capital
and our resources.
>> Daniel: I made
Princess Louisa for my daughte.
I made it so I could feel close
to her when she was far
away from me.
I--I made it to prove to her
that I loved her.
To prove to her that I deserve
to be her father.
Are you really just not
sympathetic to any of that?
>> Lily: Just because you want
something doesn't mean that
you're entitled to have it.
>> Daniel: Well, I was hoping
that maybe you had changed
your mind.
>> Lily: Why would I do that?
>> Daniel: I don't know.
You know, I thought maybe just
with a little bit of time,
things would've cooled off
between us.
>> Lily: Oh, you mean
after you cheated on me?
>> Daniel: What happened
between us--
>> Lily: No, nothing happened
between us.
I was gone, remember?
Helping my daughter in
California while you
were sleeping with Heather
behind my back.
And now you want me to do you
this very expensive favor?
For what?
Old time's sake?
>> Daniel: So you think it would
be better just to punish me
by taking away everything
that I made?
>> Lily: You didn't make it
on your own.
And you definitely don't get
to keep it.
>> Daniel: Okay.
You know, I am sorry
that I hurt you. I am.
But we need to keep
this separate.
>> Lily: It is separate.
>> Daniel: Is it?
Because it doesn't feel
that way.
It feels like you're only gonna
be happy if you crush me.
It feels like this is just all
about revenge.
>> Lily: We really shouldn't
have this conversation without
lawyers present.
>> Daniel: Okay, look, if it's
not about revenge, then tell me.
What is it?
>> Lily: Fine.
I mean, I'll-- I'll tell you,
even though I don't
owe you anything.
>> Daniel: Please. Thank you.
>> Lily: You wanna maintain
a portion of OmegaSphere
and I'm not gonna allow that
for the good of the company.
It's nothing personal.
>> Daniel: Okay.
>> Lily: And you signed
a contract.
You agreed to the terms
in the deal.
>> Daniel: I am not hurting
the company by asking
for what I deserve.
>> Lily: Well, you kind of are,
because we've invested a lot of
time and money and resources
into OmegaSphere and the games
on it.
>> Daniel: No one's
disputing that.
>> Lily: And it's of great value
to the company.
>> Daniel: It is to me, too.
>> Lily: And per the contract,
we own the IP.
So, if we hand you back bits and
pieces for free because you
can't afford to buy us out,
that undercuts our bottom line.
>> Daniel: Okay.
That's what it's about, right?
The bottom line.
>> Lily: Yeah.
Gotta start over from scratch.
It's gonna decimate
what you created.
I mean, is that what you want?
>> Daniel: I get it.
You're just looking out
for the company.
>> Lily: Yeah. It's my job.
>> Daniel: You know, you have
a lot of logic and the law
behind you, but it's also
something for you
to hide behind.
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Daniel: Lily, I've known you
almost my entire life.
We've always had
each other's back.
We've always been there for
each other.
We've even loved each other,
and now I'm coming to you as
a friend, and as someone who
adored you,
and I am begging you.
Please do not take
this from me.
>> Abby: Okay, I don't think we
should jump to conclusions or
make any assumptions about what
Billy and Jill are up to.
>> Devon: It's kind of hard not
to, given the circumstances,
'cause I know that Jill has no
reason to give up control.
>> Abby: And the way this whole
thing was delivered, I mean,
it's definitely very odd.
>> Devon: Yeah.
To say the least.
>> Abby: So, if it's true,
if Jill really is handing all
of her power over to Billy,
what do you wanna do?
>> Devon: I don't wanna let
my mind go there until Lily
and I actually have
a conversation with Jill.
That's what I'm gonna do.
>> Abby: You're frustrated.
>> Devon: If this is real,
yeah, I am.
>> Abby: I know-- I know there
have been a lot of changes
at Chancellor-Winters recently,
and it has been chaotic,
to say the least.
>> Devon: Yeah.
And it all started when Lily
went out of town.
And Billy was brought in, and
then Chance was brought in,
Mamie started causing issues.
We've just never found
our footing.
>> Abby: At least
Chancellor-Winters has remained
profitable.
>> Devon: Yeah, but how long
can that last?
You can't do good business when
management is unstable
like this.
What?
>> Abby: Through all the changes
and the tension
that it's brought,
how do you think Neil would've
handled it?
>> Audra: Believe me, I have
no desire to interfere in your
romantic life.
>> Ashley: Hm,
much appreciated.
>> Audra: You know, not that I'm
an expert on ethics, but isn't
it unethical for a therapist to
be involved with this client?
>> Ashley: Alan's not
my therapist. We're friends.
>> Audra: Oh, of course.
>> Ashley: Oh, don't tell me you
don't think men and women
can be friends.
>> Audra: Well, I've seen you
with him, and it definitely
looked more than just friendly.
>> Ashley: You think so?
>> Audra: I do.
And I think I know
what you're after.
>> Ashley: What's that?
>> Audra: You lure Alan in,
charm him, flirt with him,
maybe even try to get him
to fall in love with you.
But it's all a distraction,
you know, because he'll be too
busy crushing on you to focus on
your psychological problems.
But it's a con,
and he'll never see it coming.
>> Ashley: That's quite the
juicy plot you've cooked up,
sister.
>> Audra: I don't know, it can't
be easy to hide whatever
is happening to you.
Not with a psychologist
hovering.
>> Ashley: Okay, look, is Alan
brilliant at what he does? Yes.
And is he attractive? Yes.
And have I noticed?
Of course.
But see, we're not involved
in a professional way, so
nothing to be concerned about.
>> Audra: Well, I'm not
concerned.
But does that mean you--
you won't pursue him?
>> Ashley: Well, I'm always open
to whatever the universe has
in store for me.
Bye.
>> Tucker: Ashley's attitude
towards me
is constantly shifting. Uh...
One minute, she will approach me
and wanna reconnect with me
and she'll intimidate Audra,
telling Audra that Ashley's the
one that should be with me.
And then the next minute,
she'll just reject me outright.
She'll lash out,
she'll imply threats.
>> Alan: You mean threatening
violence?
>> Tucker: Yes, uh,
Audra told me about an incident
where Ashley seemed to
be talking about herself in
the third person, saying
that she was out to get me.
So, yeah, something needs to be
done, and immediately.
Someone needs to step up here,
whether it's you or her family.
>> Alan: Well, all of this, um,
it does sound concerning, but
it could be just
a misunderstanding.
>> Tucker: I bet you're good
at poker.
What hand am I holding
right now?
>> Alan: I'm afraid
I don't follow.
>> Tucker: What am I thinking?
>> Alan: I don't do parlor
tricks or play games, Tucker.
>> Tucker: Humor me.
>> Alan: All right.
You're guilty.
>> Tucker: As in, I'm to blame?
>> Alan: You're worried that
Ashley's suffering from severe
trauma, pain she's carrying from
how you treated her, and you're
hoping she will seek help.
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
And that would benefit me how?
>> Alan: Well, if Ashley does
get help from me or from someone
else, then, well, you're off
the hook for having hurt her.
>> Tucker: That's an interesting
take, Doc.
>> Alan: You don't agree?
>> Tucker: I've already accepted
my responsibility
for hurting Ashley.
I'm not entirely to blame here.
>> Alan: I'm sure that's true.
>> Tucker: I really want her
to get help and get better for
her own sake and for her family.
Oh, and by the way, I've moved
on from her romantically.
And I sleep very well at night.
>> Alan: Well, obviously,
I'm not as good at reading
people as you thought.
>> Tucker: But what about
Ashley? How do you read her?
>> Alan: I'm not prepared
to discuss Ashley with you.
>> Tucker: But...
>> Alan: Thank you.
>> Tucker: Did you forget
something?
Or have you decided to stay
and booked another room?
>> Alan: Well,
my business can wait.
I've just arrived here
in Genoa City.
I see no reason to rush off.
>> Tucker: Love it.
So, you have decided to stick
around and help her.
That decision was made before
I sat down, wasn't it?
>> Alan: Was it?
>> Tucker: You're good, Alan.
I sat here and gave you all
this information and you just
ate it up with a spoon,
didn't you?
I like your style.
>> Alan: I wish you well,
Tucker.
>> Tucker: You too.
>> Devon: Neil would tell us
that we need to cut through our
issues and figure out how to
work together or walk away.
>> Abby: But you don't wanna
walk away.
You already tried to do that.
>> Devon: I would love
to walk away.
I really would.
But I can't do that.
I can't do that to Lily.
And our partnership is too
important to us.
And I-- I would feel awful
taking a step back and just
watching everything that
we worked for fall apart.
>> Abby: So, there's no way
that you and Billy can work
on things?
>> Devon: I don't know how
because Billy's not interested
in changing his ways.
>> Abby: No way for the two of
you to just hash things out?
>> Devon: Honestly,
I don't want to.
I really don't want to 'cause
I feel like he is a threat to
the company and he needs
to be gone.
>> Abby: But if Jill wants him
in that role...
>> Devon: Then we need to figure
out a clever way to get him out.
>> Abby: Now, I'm worried.
>> Devon: The only thing you
need to be worried about is the
damage that he could do
if he stays.
'Cause what Billy's doing is
underhanded and I need to
figure out how to undercut him
in return.
>> Abby: Devon, that is not
who you are.
You do not play dirty.
>> Devon: Well, I am gonna do
whatever it takes to protect
the company, all right?
'Cause this is war that
Billy's declared.
And if I don't do something,
we could lose everything.
>> Lily: Well, if I didn't
know any better, I would say
that sounded like a guilt trip.
>> Daniel: I know that I'm
pushing, but I cannot
walk away from this.
>> Lily: There is nothing
I can do.
>> Daniel: Just give me
Princess Louisa.
That game is like a love letter
to my kid.
Let me hang on to that and--
>> Lily: It's not my call.
The board voted to keep all
of OmegaSphere's
intellectual property.
I can't just undo that.
>> Daniel: I understand that,
but if you backed down,
said you changed your mind,
then other members might follow.
>> Lily: Well, there's
no guarantee.
>> Daniel: Oh, come on.
Devon and Nate, they'll do
whatever you think is best.
Jill, she respects
your perspective.
So does Billy.
>> Lily: There are more factors
at play.
>> Daniel: Okay.
They know this is about you
and me and they are just trying
to make this easier on you.
>> Lily: That might be your
perception, but it's not true.
It's about the company.
>> Daniel: Okay, well I still
think other board members would
follow your lead.
>> Lily: Listen, we have enough
things on our plate right now.
>> Daniel: You're stressed
about something.
You wanna talk about it?
>> Lily: With you?
No.
>> Daniel: Fair enough.
Look, I know I am asking a lot,
but this is as big
as it gets for me.
I believe that we can figure
out a solution.
>> Lily: Look, no promises,
okay?
I can revisit it with the board
when it's convenient and that's
all I can tell you.
>> Daniel: That's all I can
really ask for then.
Thank you for that much.
Right.
Good luck.
With whatever else it is that
you're dealing with.
[ Lily sighs ]
>> Jill: Hello, Lily.
Sorry for the delay.
>> Lily: Jill, what the hell?
Did you really give Billy all
of your power behind our backs?
>> Audra: You won't
believe this.
>> Tucker: Try me.
>> Audra: Ashley
just wished us well.
>> Tucker: As in, I wish you
well as I watch you plummet
to your deaths after I push you
off a cliff?
>> Audra: She said she hopes we
have a wonderful life together.
>> Tucker: And how did this
come about?
>> Audra: Well, I-- I ran into
her at Society.
At first, she told me that
I could do better than you.
>> Tucker: No question
about that.
>> Audra: Well, after I defended
our relationship and connection,
she backed down.
She said she was glad that we
were happy and had each other.
>> Tucker: I'm sure she is.
>> Audra: You know, it's such
a weird switch from before.
When she insisted she was your
one true love, you know?
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
>> Audra: You know, she's
all over the place emotionally.
Well, I don't wanna make it
worse by giving her
a hard time.
>> Tucker: Aw,
such a kind person.
>> Audra: You know, maybe
this shift has something to do
with her therapist friend.
Maybe he really is helping her.
>> Tucker: It's possible.
>> Alan: Ah, hello.
>> Ashley: There you are.
>> Alan: I am so sorry.
There was a delay in getting
into my new room.
>> Ashley: No, that's okay.
I'm just so happy you're
sticking around.
>> Alan: Oh, me too.
You know, um, I had a little
bit of a run in
with your ex-husband.
>> Ashley: Ah!
He's just such a selfish pig.
Don't you think?
I mean, honestly, he just likes
to hear himself talk and yap,
yap, yap, yap, yap.
>> Alan: Well, he did seem
genuinely concerned.
I think he carries a lot of
guilt over what happened
between you two.
>> Ashley: Please.
Tucker does not do guilt.
He doesn't do any emotion,
really.
>> Alan: But he may care
about you more than you realize.
>> Ashley: Well, poor him.
I am only interested
in better things.
>> Tessa: Can I help you?
>> Daniel: No.
Uh, I'm-- I'm sorry.
I'm just a little distracted.
>> Tessa: Oh, that's okay.
>> Daniel: I recognize you.
>> Tessa: Um, we have mutuals
on social media.
You're Summer's brother,
Daniel.
I'm Tessa, Mariah's wife.
Uh, Cassie's sister.
>> Daniel: Yes.
No, all of that is true, um...
What I meant is
I am a fan of your music.
I've actually played some of
your songs on repeat.
>> Tessa: Oh my gosh, thank you.
I-- I really appreciate that.
>> Daniel: I appreciate it.
It's helped me get through some
rough times.
>> Tessa: Well, that's what
music is for.
Not to be pushy,
but is now a rough time?
>> Daniel: That'd be
an understatement.
>> Tessa: Well, I mean, I can't
play a song here, but there's
drinks and food to cheer you up.
I've also been told that
I'm a good listener, if you need
someone to talk to.
>> Daniel: That's okay.
I'm sure that you're busy.
I didn't even realize that Abby
had hired you on staff.
>> Tessa: Well, I've been told
I'm a fabulous manager and also
a good listener.
So, I don't know...
why don't you give me a shot?
I might surprise you.
>> Jill: I assume that Billy
explained to you
what's happening?
>> Lily: Yes, but I wanna hear
it from you.
You're stepping back and just
giving Billy control?
>> Jill: That's right.
>> Lily: But why would you
do that? Why-- why now?
>> Jill: Because Devon is
determined to push Billy
out of the company.
>> Lily: Jill, I wouldn't have
let that happen.
>> Jill: Please, Lily.
Devon is determined
to get him out.
And I had to make sure that
that wasn't possible.
And that's why I didn't warn yu
and Devon about my decision.
>> Lily: Oh, so you just
blindsided us.
I mean, I thought we trusted
each other.
>> Jill: Devon forced my hand.
He has never given Billy
a chance.
He's never taken him seriously.
Well, now he has to.
>> Lily: Because Billy is
the new you.
>> Jill: This move is binding,
Lily. And I believe it will hep
the company.
>> Lily: How?
>> Jill: By limiting arguments.
Billy now has my role
and my power equal to that
of you and Devon.
>> Lily: So where does that
leave you?
>> Jill: I'm not walking away.
I will still be available
as an advisor.
[ Lily scoffs ]
>> Lily: And that's that?
>> Jill: That's that.
So, now you and Devon and Billy
will all be forced
to work together.
And we can get back to busines.
>> Lily: No, Jill.
You are wrong.
This is not a solution.
You have made things
so much worse.
>> Tessa: And for the record,
I am a fan of yours, too.
>> Daniel: Really?
>> Tessa: Yeah.
Princess Louisa is the best.
And it's all your vision, right?
>> Daniel: It was.
>> Tessa: I heard you named
the character after
your daughter.
Such a cool tribute.
I write songs for Aria,
but it's mainly about bath time
and important things like that.
But someday, I would like
to write an album for her,
about how much we love her.
>> Daniel: A love letter?
I was talking to Lily about
the game earlier and that's
what I called it.
A love letter to my kid.
>> Tessa: And that upset you?
[ Daniel sighs ]
>> Daniel: Well, I don't know
if you've heard or not,
but I am no longer working
for Chancellor-Winters.
And since they own all
the rights to OmegaSphere
and its games,
they are no longer mine.
>> Tessa: Oh, no.
I'm so sorry.
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm.
Lily and I aren't
together anymore.
That ended badly between us.
>> Tessa: How badly?
>> Daniel: I cheated on her.
>> Tessa: Oh. Ouch.
>> Daniel: Basically, I don't
have a leg to stand on,
but you know, I just-- I don't
wanna let go of the work
that I created.
Everything's pretty much just
a giant mess and it's all
kind of my fault.
>> Tessa: Hm.
I can relate to that feeling.
>> Daniel: So, you've ruined
your own life, too.
>> Tessa: Um...
Yeah, I mean, it felt that way,
but, ah, it all worked out.
I'm just saying that I have
plenty of experience of causing
trouble for myself and the ones
around me.
>> Ashley: I wanna make you
a promise.
I am never gonna scare you
off again because I want you to
stay around as long as possible.
>> Alan: Well,
that sounds lovely.
>> Ashley: Good.
>> Alan: You know, Tucker seemed
intrigued that I was staying
in town, too.
>> Ashley: Oh, yeah?
Intrigued how?
>> Alan: Well, he seemed to
think it was for professional
rather than personal reasons.
Started asking a lot
of questions.
>> Ashley: Oh.
Did you humor his curiosity?
>> Alan: I didn't see a need to.
>> Ashley: Ah, good answer.
>> Alan: Tucker is the kind of
man who, um,
well, if he wants something,
he thinks he deserves it.
He's entitled.
And I, uh--
I'm not inclined to help.
>> Ashley: I like that
about you.
But I don't care what Tucker
says or what he does.
I just wanna focus on what's
right in front of me.
>> Tucker: We have to move on
from the issue of Ashley.
It won't seem to move on
from us.
>> Audra: Yeah, she's suddenly
all up in my face.
I never know which attitude
I'll get next.
>> Tucker: All right,
let's let it go.
Right now, okay?
Let's-- let's make a conscious
effort to drop
the subject of her.
No more.
Now and forever, right?
'Cause I-- I just wanna
concentrate on us.
And I wanna get the hell
out of this town.
Let's book an earlier flight,
right? 'Cause we're ready to--
Yes! We're ready to go.
We're packed.
Let's do it.
You dis-- What, you disagree?
>> Audra: About this trip?
Uh...
you're not trying to run away
from something, are you?
>> Abby: I really don't wanna
think the worst of Billy.
And I hope his intentions aren't
as bad as you think they are.
>> Devon: Yeah, but what if
they are?
>> Abby: If Billy is doing all
this without Jill's approval,
then he would essentially be
gaining more power and control
for himself.
>> Devon: Exactly.
And if he gets exposed, then
Jill will be pissed and Lily
will never trust him again.
>> Abby: Okay, but what would
Billy have to gain from that?
He's smarter than that.
So before you draw up battle
plans, you need to figure out
what he's really up to.
[ phone buzzes ]
>> Devon: Well, this is Lily.
Hey.
>> Lily: Hey.
Jill finally called me back.
>> Devon: And what'd she say?
>> Lily: Everything Billy said
is true.
She handed him her control.
>> Devon: Wow, wow, wow.
Um, okay.
Uh, there's something that
I need to take care of first
and then I'm gonna come straight
to the office.
>> Lily: Well, make it fast.
We don't have time to lose.
>> Devon: All right.
>> Abby: Yeah, uh, go.
Dominic and I will be fine.
>> Devon: I'd much rather be
spending time with you guys
than dealing with this.
>> Abby: I know.
But what's so urgent that you
have to do that before you stop
by the office?
Please don't do something that
you'll regret.
>> Devon: I won't. I promise.
I love you.
>> Abby: I love you too.
>> Devon: Gonna say bye
to Dominic.
>> Abby: Yeah.
>> Tessa: Work and romance can
definitely be messy
when they intersect.
Picture it.
An awesome trip
to San Francisco
to a music festival.
Me and Noah Newman.
Mariah and Devon.
>> Daniel: Not you and Mariah?
>> Tessa: No, we were very much
not a couple back then.
I was seeing Noah.
Mariah was seeing Devon.
And there was chemistry
between Mariah and me.
But I was signed
to Devon's label.
Not selling well.
And in some really deep denial
about Mariah.
And in a truly brilliant move,
I used her journal
for inspiration without
her permission.
Yeah, that mistake cost me
a job, a friend
and a boyfriend.
>> Daniel: Wow.
Yeah, no, that is a mess.
>> Tessa: Yeah.
My whole world fell apart.
>> Daniel: But it didn't
stay that way.
>> Tessa: Hm.
But I had help putting
the pieces back together
for the best life possible.
>> Daniel: Well, you know,
if you could tell me how
to do that,
step by step, if possible.
I would forever be
in your debt.
>> Ashley: This is so pretty.
Definitely one of my very
favorite places.
>> Alan: Ah,
it's absolutely lovely.
I-- I saw that it was named
after a woman named, uh,
Katherine Chancellor.
Did you know her?
>> Ashley: Yeah, I did.
Somewhat, sure.
>> Alan: Then she must've been
quite a powerful figure in town.
>> Ashley: Quite the mogul.
Why can't I remember
Ashley's past?
>> Ms. Abbott: Because I want
you to fail, you dumbass.
>> Alan: Are you-- are you okay?
>> Ashley: Yeah, I'm just
enjoying the sunshine.
The company.
It's been a while since
I've been so at ease, you know.
>> Alan: Ashley, I, uh--
>> Ashley: I really wanna
kiss you.
I've been wanting to kiss you
ever since you first came
to town.
>> Audra: You know, you never
answered my question.
>> Tucker: Audra, I am not
running away from anything.
I just--
I wanna get away. With you.
And concentrate on you.
You're all that matters now.
Let's go.
>> Devon: Hey.
Do you have a second?
'Cause I can use your help.
