>> Kyle: Claire?
>> Claire: Hi.
>> Kyle: Hey,
I'm surprised to see you here.
Figured you'd be
big sistering today.
>> Claire: That was the plan.
>> Kyle: Oh, what happened?
>> Claire: Somebody needed
a break.
>> Kyle: I'm guessing that
somebody wasn't you?
Things didn't go well
with Johnny and Katie, did they?
>> Claire: Johnny seemed fine
with me being there.
He even laughed
at one of my jokes.
That was a highlight.
>> Kyle: And Katie?
>> Claire: Not so much.
>> Victoria: Here, son.
Katie?
>> Katie: What?
[ Victoria sighs ]
>> Victoria: It's okay to be
upset and confused.
I know it's a lot to take in.
Get a new house, a new sister.
None of it feels familiar,
I get that.
>> Katie: I'm fine.
>> Victoria: Honey.
>> Katie: I just miss my room,
that's all.
All my stuff got burned
in the fire.
>> Victoria: I know.
I'm really sorry about that.
>> Katie: It wasn't your fault.
Anyway, I'll get over it.
>> Victoria: You don't have to
just get over it.
I mean, it's something that we
should talk about as a family.
>> Katie: I guess so.
>> Victoria: Maybe we ought to
talk about Claire, too.
>> Katie: No, we don't.
>> Victoria: I think that
we should.
I mean, you weren't very nice
to her earlier.
She was so looking forward
to meeting you guys.
>> Katie: Then, I'll apologize
if that's what everybody wants.
>> Victoria: It's not about
that, all right?
[ Victoria sighs ]
You were so kind to her
when we first learned
the news about who she was
and that meant so much to her.
It meant a lot to me as well.
>> Katie: What do you want me
to say, Mom? I'll try harder.
>> Victoria: Katie, look,
none of us expected
this to happen, but it has.
Claire's your family.
She's your sister.
Look, just remember this.
I mean, she probably feels
as awkward and out of place
as you and Johnny do.
>> Katie: The kids at school say
she's crazy and dangerous.
Is she?
♪♪
>> Billy: Forgive me,
but I'm going to assume that
this is a good sign.
>> Lily: What is?
>> Billy: The fact that you
wanted to meet me outside
of the office.
So, do you have
good news for me?
>> Lily: As a matter of fact,
I do.
>> Devon: Hey, hey, Mr. Newman.
>> Victor: How's my man?
>> Devon: How are you?
>> Victor: How are you
doing, Devon?
>> Devon: It's good to see you.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Devon: What's, uh, what's
with that smile on your face?
>> Victor: Well, I just came
from a soccer game,
and believe it or not,
my grandson scored
the winning goal
with a header.
>> Devon: That's fantastic. Wow.
>> Victor: I mean, boom.
You know, just like Ronaldo.
>> Devon: Just like Ronaldo.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Devon: Spoken like
a true proud grandfather.
I can't wait until Dominic
gets into sports, man.
>> Victor: Oh, he'll get there
sooner than you think.
>> Devon: Believe me, I know.
Time is flying by.
But it's good to see you,
though. It really is.
>> Victor: If you have a minute,
why don't you sit down?
Let's talk.
>> Devon: Sure.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Nate: So, Tucker faked
a heart attack?
>> Audra: You know,
if I weren't so mad at him,
it would have been funny.
But in the end, it was really
just kind of pathetic.
Desperate.
He knew I had the board in
my pocket and that he was only
delaying the inevitable.
>> Nate: So, you won.
>> Audra: As simple as that.
>> Nate: I'm impressed.
>> Audra: Thank you.
I admit,
there were moments along the way
when I had a lot of doubts,
but I always kept
my eye on the prize.
And in the end, I got it.
>> Nate: Hm.
So, what happens next?
>> Audra: I make Glissade
a massive success.
>> Nate: Agreed.
But this is Tucker McCall
we're talking about here.
Revenge and retaliation
are his forte.
And Tucker does not
like to lose.
And you know he knows
how to play dirty.
>> Audra: I'm not afraid
of Tucker.
>> Nate: I can see that.
But that doesn't mean
he can't cause trouble.
>> Audra: You weren't
there, Nate.
You didn't see him.
Tucker was shocked.
I wouldn't be surprised if
he stayed in Paris permanently,
muttering to himself how
he used to be a big shot.
>> Nate: I don't know.
Tucker's never struck me as
the type to wallow too long.
>> Audra: Yes, but his
circumstances have changed
and he knows it.
No matter how he tries to
spin it, losing Glissade to me
was a very public defeat.
It will cripple him in
the business world, so no,
I don't think Tucker
has any more moves left.
And even if he does,
I know all his tricks.
I have seen them up close and
they don't impress me anymore.
>> Nate: Good to know.
Just making sure.
>> Audra: You know, maybe now
he'll realize why
everyone he claims to care about
is walking away from him
for good.
He's the one pushing
everyone out of his life.
Ashley, Devon, and finally, me.
>> Nate: What if he did make
those changes in his life?
>> Audra: Then, he'd be making
them for someone else.
>> Nate: And not for you.
>> Audra: Tucker made
the mistake of thinking this was
part of our dance.
That business conflict was
a version of seduction.
But those feelings
didn't just die.
They were erased.
All trace is gone.
>> Victor: So, I understand Abby
is happy in her personal life?
>> Devon: Oh, yeah?
>> Victor: And that she enjoys
her role on the Chancellor
Board of Directors?
>> Devon: She does indeed, yes.
>> Victor: How's everything
going in the company?
>> Devon: They're going well.
They're going really well.
Our numbers are up.
>> Victor: Great to hear that.
>> Devon: Thank you.
>> Victor: Have you spoken to
Tucker McCall lately?
>> Devon: I have not. No.
We're not on the best of terms.
I don't know if you're
aware of that.
>> Victor: So you haven't heard?
>> Devon: Haven't heard what?
>> Victor: Well, apparently
he suffered an enormous business
setback while in Paris.
>> Devon: Oh.
>> Victor: I have a feeling
he's so humiliated,
he may go into hiding.
>> Devon: What do you mean
by hiding?
>> Victor: I have a feeling he's
reluctant to come back
to Genoa City because a lot of
people are dancing on his grave.
>> Devon: Huh.
Well, I sure didn't know
anything about this.
>> Victor: But you know,
if he does come back,
then he will try to weasel
himself back into your company.
You must know that.
>> Devon: No, no, no.
There's-- there's no chance
of that happening.
I already have one weasel
to deal with.
>> Billy: What is this good news
you want to share?
>> Lily: Well first,
I have some other business
to discuss with you.
>> Billy: Ah. Okay, go ahead.
>> Lily: Uh, Daniel and I have
come to an agreement
and we're not going to move
forward with the arbitration.
>> Billy: Really?
>> Lily: Mm-hmm.
>> Billy: Did he drop
the lawsuit?
>> Lily: It was mutual.
We came to a compromise.
So, we'll keep
the Princess Louisa game
and in exchange, we'll finance
a college fund for Lucy.
>> Billy: Lily, that's amazing.
That's extremely
generous of you.
>> Lily: Well, I mean,
it didn't seem right
to keep fighting over it.
>> Billy: Even though
you probably would have won
the case.
>> Lily: Won what though?
I mean, you told me, you know,
I was reacting emotionally.
And I was. I was hurt and angry,
but I'm over it now.
So, we all win a little
something and we can move on.
>> Billy: You're a class act.
>> Lily: Well, I'm trying
to be now.
>> Billy: You are. I mean,
you took the high road
and that's a lesson
that I could learn.
>> Lily: So, how is Jill doing?
Have you talked to her?
[ Billy sighs ]
>> Billy: You know,
she'll never admit how hard
this has been.
She keeps talking about how
the treatment's taking too long,
you know, but I don't know.
I can-- I can see
the toll that it's taking.
She's having
a hard time walking.
She's got shortness of breath.
She's tired all the time
and that drives her nuts.
>> Lily: Well, yeah, I mean,
she's used to attacking
life at a hundred miles an hour,
so I'm sure
it's frustrating for her.
>> Billy: You know it.
But, you know,
Snapper seems optimistic.
He keeps saying that
the treatment is working
and you know what kind
of a warrior she is, so
if anyone's going to beat this,
I'm putting my money on my mom.
>> Lily: God, I really wish
I could call her.
She doesn't know that
I know still, right?
>> Billy: No, she doesn't.
And I don't want to cause her
more stress when she finds out
that her big-mouthed son started
yapping about something that she
does not want to share.
>> Lily: Well,
I won't expose you. I promise.
>> Billy: Thank you.
I appreciate that.
So, back to business.
>> Lily: Well, I have thought
a lot about your proposal.
>> Billy: And just to be clear,
we're talking about you and me
taking over Chancellor-Winters
and running it together.
>> Lily: Yes, we are.
>> Billy: Okay, so have all this
thought led you to a conclusion?
Ready to pull the trigger?
>> Victoria: Katie,
do you remember what Claire told
you about her Aunt Jordan?
>> Katie: Which part?
She kind of went on.
>> Victoria: Claire spent
her whole childhood,
her whole life up until now,
being manipulated and controlled
by that terrible woman.
But Claire's not crazy.
She's not dangerous.
>> Katie: She was in the mental
hospital for being fine?
>> Victoria: But then the
doctors decided to release her
because it was the right thing
to do.
And now the rest of the family's
gotten to know what a good and
loving and kind person she is.
>> Katie: Maybe she's faking it.
Maybe she'll murder us all
in our sleep.
>> Victoria: Where are
you getting this?
Please, Claire's trying so hard
to make amends.
Would you please give her
a chance?
>> Johnny: Come on.
She's trying, right?
>> Katie: I don't care.
You can't make me like her.
She's not a member of my family,
so just stop pushing her on me.
>> Kyle: The kids just
got home, right?
>> Claire: Earlier this morning.
>> Kyle: So, they're adjusting
to summer break.
Living in a new house.
Give Katie some time.
She'll come around.
>> Claire: I wasn't saying
I'm giving up.
Not by a long shot.
>> Kyle: Hm.
>> Claire: I just know if I try
to force it, it's going
to push her away further.
Which is why I came here,
where hopefully my presence
can't annoy anyone.
>> Kyle: Oh, I know
it's disappointing.
>> Claire: I sort of
expected it.
>> Kyle: Still.
>> Claire: I guess I did kind of
have this fantasy of
us all being together.
Being a big sister
and teaching her things.
Also learning things from her,
because God knows Katie has more
experience in the normal
real world than I do.
>> Kyle: And you will do
all of those things.
>> Claire: I hope so.
>> Kyle: I know so.
I mean, look at the list of
people you've already won over.
All of the Newmans,
which is a feat in itself,
and even Summer's coming around.
>> Claire: A little.
>> Kyle: Hm. She will.
And Katie will, too.
Look, you're funny,
smart, genuine.
You're optimistic about living
the real world, and you're
cheerful without it being fake.
And you know a lot
about caterpillars,
so let's face it, Claire.
You're kind of hard not to like.
>> Lily: Well, even though
I have hated how you have butted
heads with Devon,
your vision and drive
for the company is contagious.
And it makes me feel like maybe
I should be thinking bigger.
>> Billy: The answer to that
question is already yes.
>> Lily: Exactly.
And, you know, I mean,
when I really think about it,
is it a tribute to Jill and
my dad if we just keep
the company running in place?
I mean, it's so hard to get
anything done around the office,
let alone have it advance
in any meaningful way,
and you've made me see that.
>> Billy: I hope I also
helped you see that we're
the only ones that can fix it.
>> Lily: Well, as crazy as it
sounds, yes, you did.
And taking the company to
new heights with you
definitely sounds appealing.
>> Billy: So, we're going
to do this?
>> Lily: Yeah, we're going
to do it.
>> Billy: Well,
that means we need some very
expensive champagne because
we're going to celebrate.
>> Lily: Well, hold on, hold on.
Before we start celebrating,
there is a catch.
>> Audra: Tucker did
a number on me.
I let my guard down for a minute
and allowed myself the fantasy
that I could fall in love again.
But I learned a tough
and painful lesson.
Trust no one
with your heart, ever.
>> Nate: That'd be a shame,
in my opinion.
>> Audra: Why?
I'm more than okay with it.
>> Nate: Yes.
But to let someone like
Tucker McCall close the door
on the possibilities
of love and happiness in
your life to me is a waste.
Here's to, uh,
hoping you change your mind.
>> Audra: I wouldn't count
on that happening anytime soon.
>> Nate: I'm not saying anytime
soon, but someday.
>> Audra: Hm.
Have anyone specific in mind?
[ Nate chuckles ]
>> Nate: I'm not even, um,
close to there yet.
>> Audra: Good.
Because I have an empire to
build and I don't need any more
distractions in my life.
[ phone pings ]
>> Nate: Something important?
>> Audra: Could be.
>> Nate: I'm guessing it's not
from Tucker or any other
future love interest.
>> Audra: Very funny, Nate.
>> Nate: So, who was it?
>> Audra: It was
a business meeting.
>> Nate: From someone pretty
high up in the chain,
from the looks of it.
>> Audra: Maybe.
>> Nate: Hm.
So, let me guess.
Is it from this mystery investor
you've told me so little about?
>> Audra: Thank you.
I've gotta run.
>> Nate: Yes, yes,
your big investor awaits you.
>> Audra: Be nice, Nate.
>> Nate: I am being nice.
It's just that we spent
the last hour or so going over
every detail about this coup
to take down Tucker,
but you left out a key part.
>> Audra: Because that part is
confidential.
>> Nate: Mm. Must be a pretty
big fish.
>> Audra: Sorry, no clues.
But I will tell you this.
Glissade is not in competition
with Chancellor-Winters.
So, you have nothing
to worry about.
>> Nate: Wow. Well, thank you
for the heads up.
>> Audra: You are welcome.
>> Nate: Although, I am seeing
a red flag here,
even if you're not.
>> Audra: What do you mean?
What red flag?
>> Nate: Whoever this investor
is paid an awful lot of money
for what's basically a startup
that isn't even turning
a profit yet.
>> Audra: Because they believe
in Glissade and believe
in my leadership.
>> Nate: That's-- that's fine
and dandy, I'm happy to hear it.
I just want you to keep in mind
that Tucker may not be
the only person
you have to look out for.
This money person, whoever
he or she is, is going to want
to know what you plan to do
with their investment.
And they just may have ideas of
their own.
>> Billy: I should have known
this wouldn't be easy.
You've always been
a tough negotiator.
>> Lily: This is not
a negotiation.
It's a compromise.
>> Billy: Okay.
I'm listening.
>> Lily: Well, look, what's
important to me is that I do not
want Devon or Nate to feel hurt
or denigrate them in any way.
And I feel like with
your scenario,
that's inevitable.
>> Billy: Okay, but we can't
all run the company, Lily.
We can't all be bosses.
>> Lily: No, I agree.
But Devon's my brother.
And I love him very much.
I don't want him
to feel marginalized.
That's way more important to me
than any business deal.
>> Billy: No, I mean,
I understand that,
but I-- I mean, I don't really
know what to say to that.
You know the conflict
and the tension that is going on
in the office right now.
Devon and I, unfortunately,
will never be on the same page,
so it's not going to work.
>> Lily: I agree.
So, here's my deal.
And just so you know, this is
the only way
I can move forward.
We divide Chancellor-Winters.
>> Billy: You want to undo
the merger?
>> Lily: Yes.
We let Devon take Winters
and he can either run it solo
or with Nate,
and you and I run Chancellor.
[ Billy scoffs ]
>> Billy: I mean, I gotta say,
out of all the possible options
running through my head,
that was not one of them.
>> Lily: What do you mean?
This was your initial proposal.
>> Billy: Oh, I know that.
And you fought me on it.
You didn't want to break
this company up at any cost.
>> Lily: I know, I know.
I held on to that idea
for way too long.
But I had to face the reality
of what we are, and not what
I wanted us to become.
So, if you agree,
Devon takes back Winters
and you and I run Chancellor.
Or should I say,
Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Claire: We're always talking
about me and my problems.
We never talk about you.
>> Kyle: Well, my life is
pretty boring these days.
>> Claire: I doubt that
very much.
>> Kyle: I go to work,
hang out with Harrison,
watch a little TV,
maybe have a drink, eat dinner,
you know, wash, rinse, repeat.
>> Claire: That sounds pretty
wonderful, actually.
Quiet, normal life.
>> Kyle: Yeah, yeah,
I can see that.
But maybe it's
too quiet and normal.
>> Claire: You don't talk about
your work much.
>> Kyle: There's not much
to talk about.
It's fine.
It's okay.
>> Claire: I noticed that
there was some tension between
you and your mother a while ago.
Was that a work situation?
>> Kyle: Yes, and I don't want
to bore you with it.
It's just--
It's one of those family things.
>> Claire: You wouldn't be
boring me at all, Kyle.
>> Kyle: Okay.
Okay. I'll give you
the short version.
A little while ago, my mom
came back into our lives after
many years where we had
no contact with her at all.
>> Claire: She just disappeared?
>> Kyle: Actually, we thought
she was dead.
It's another long, long story.
Um, so anyway, she comes back,
and it's difficult
to mend fences, you know?
There's a lot of hurt feelings
and anger on my dad's part.
And mine.
Eventually, we all work it out
and she and my dad fall back
in love and remarry.
It's happily ever after, right?
Only then, my dad appoints her
co-CEO of Jabot, my old job,
in spite of her having
no experience at that level.
And now I report to my mom and
so things are a little awkward.
>> Claire: I can imagine.
>> Kyle: Actually, no.
Awkward is too easy of a word,
Claire. Brutal is more like it.
I'm just better at this
than she is, Claire.
And I know that sounds
arrogant, but it's true.
And every time I do something
or suggest something before
she thinks about it, she thinks
I'm undermining her,
when all I'm trying to do is
fix her mistakes.
>> Claire: What does your father
say about it?
>> Kyle: He tells me that I need
to smooth it over or he just
tries to ignore it
and what I don't understand is
that they both can't see this
is holding me back.
It's keeping me in my place.
Claire, I earned that job.
And my dad snatched it away
from me and gave it to my mom
like-- like some sort of
wedding present.
[ Claire sighs ]
Yeah, that's-- that's really
short version of it.
That's probably more than
you signed up for, huh?
>> Claire: If you're
that unhappy, maybe...
have you thought about
going somewhere else?
>> Kyle: I have, but Jabot was
my family's legacy.
It's pretty hard
to walk away from.
>> Claire: Nothing has
to be permanent.
Sounds like working together is
making everyone unhappy.
Can't imagine this has been
easy on your parents either.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I guess not.
And maybe you're right.
Maybe it is time I take a look
at what else is out there.
It'd be refreshing to work
somewhere where my talents are
actually valued.
>> Victor: Send her in.
Thank you.
>> Audra: Hello.
>> Victor: Hello, Audra.
Nice to see you.
>> Audra: Ah, the same to you.
>> Victor: Thank you.
I'm very glad this momentary
glitch in our plans has been
resolved. Once the lawyers have
done their legal work,
you can assume
the reigns of Glissade.
>> Audra: And I am looking
forward to it.
>> Victor: Good.
You know, I wish I'd seen
the look on Tucker McCall's face
when he realized that
you had beaten him.
>> Audra: Well, I'd be happy
to describe it to you.
>> Victor: Oh, yeah?
Have a seat.
>> Audra: Thank you.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Audra: He looked stunned.
>> Victor: Really?
>> Audra: Destroyed.
>> Victor: I bet.
>> Audra: All the color drained
from his face.
>> Victor: Oh, boy.
>> Audra: As though someone had
opened a vein and the life
poured out of him.
You know, he never thought
it could happen to him.
Or that I would be the one
to do it.
>> Victor: Well, I expect great
things from you once
you run the company.
>> Audra: I will deliver.
I promise you that.
I am curious about
one thing, though.
>> Victor: Oh, what's that?
>> Audra: You wanting
to remain anonymous.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Audra: I understood why
in the beginning,
but now that it's all over,
I would expect you to want
to declare your victory
over Tucker
and make your identity known.
It makes me wonder if
this isn't just a business deal.
That there's something else
you're after with
this acquisition?
>> Victor: My so-called
motivation should be of
no concern to you.
>> Audra: Oh, Victor,
I didn't mean to--
>> Victor: And kindly do not
ever second-guess
my intentions, all right?
>> Audra: Understood.
>> Victor: I want you to turn
Glissade into a powerhouse.
>> Audra: That's the plan.
I've actually put together
some ideas about how we can
rejuvenate the company
starting day one.
>> Victor: Before you make
any changes,
I would like to add someone
to your leadership team.
Namely, Kyle Abbott.
>> Audra: You want me to--
>> Victor: I know the two of you
have had history.
Is that a problem?
>> Audra: No, not for me.
>> Victor: Good. All right.
>> Audra: But Kyle already has
a big job at Jabot.
He's the COO at his family's
company, so it's hard
to imagine him leaving that
to come over here.
>> Victor: Well, situations
change, don't they?
>> Audra: All right.
Well, if that's the case,
I'm sure I can find a division
for Kyle to manage.
>> Victor: I do not want Kyle
to run a division.
I want him to become
your co-CEO.
[ phone rings ]
>> Claire: It's my mom.
Everything okay?
>> Victoria: Yeah,
everything's good.
The kids are getting settled
in their room.
>> Claire: That's great.
>> Victoria: Um, listen,
I'm sorry about
how things got tense
with Katie earlier.
I mean, she's a--
she's a good kid.
It'll get better, I promise.
>> Claire: I don't blame her.
I don't know how I would react
if I were in her situation.
>> Victoria: Yeah, it's just
that I don't want you to feel
like you have to avoid being
at the house.
I think that, you know,
Katie just needs a little time
to get to know you
and to see how special you are.
>> Claire: Thank you, Mom.
>> Victoria: So, when will you
be home?
>> Claire: I'm on my way.
>> Victoria: Good.
I love you.
>> Claire: You too.
>> Kyle: Let me guess.
You have to go.
>> Claire: Baby steps
with the siblings.
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
>> Claire: I enjoyed
our conversation.
>> Kyle: I did, too.
>> Claire: And I'm sorry
if I overstepped when
I suggested you should leave
your job if you're unhappy.
I know it's not as simple
as that.
>> Kyle: Family never is.
>> Claire: Beginning to learn
that myself.
Anyway, bye.
>> Kyle: Bye.
>> Billy: Excuse me.
Uh, two glasses of your
finest champagne, please.
And when I say finest,
I mean it. We're celebrating.
Thank you, sir.
This is great.
Okay, so tell me.
Is Devon going to give you
pushback here?
>> Lily: Well, I already floated
the idea by him
and he seemed intrigued.
>> Billy: All right,
but he assumes that you're going
to join him at Winters.
He might not be as enthusiastic
when he finds out that you're
partnering with me.
>> Lily: Well, I'll deal
with that when the time comes.
Frankly, I'm actually more
worried about how Jill's going
to respond.
>> Billy: Why do you say that?
>> Lily: Well, she was against
it when I wanted to take
the company public.
And she didn't like the idea
when Mamie brought it up
to divide the company.
>> Billy: Yeah, but that...
I mean, that was all about
rekindling their ancient feud.
It had nothing to do
with the breakup.
Trust me, that was
all about Mamie.
>> Lily: So, you're
not concerned?
>> Billy: Not in the least.
She gave me the power.
So, this is my call.
>> Lily: So, this is
really happening.
>> Billy: You better believe it.
>> Lily: Thank you.
>> Billy: Thank you.
To spectacular new beginnings.
>> Lily: To new beginnings.
>> Lily: So, when do
we break the news?
>> Billy: I think that
we hold off until
everything is in place.
I'll talk to Jill,
you talk to Devon,
and I-- I realize that is not
going to be easy for you.
>> Lily: Well, I'm hoping
in the end,
it'll be easier than you expect.
>> Johnny: All done.
>> Victoria: You're all
settled in?
>> Johnny: Yeah.
>> Victoria: Good.
>> Johnny: I like my room.
It's cool.
>> Victoria: What about
your sister?
>> Johnny: No, she's not cool.
Joke.
>> Victoria: Did she
talk to you?
>> Johnny: Don't be mad at her.
>> Victoria: No, Johnny,
I'm not mad at her.
I'm just a little bit surprised
by her reaction to Claire.
>> Johnny: It might not even
be about that.
>> Victoria: What do you mean?
>> Johnny: There was this boy
at school who she kind of liked
and he invited her
to a movie night,
but then the next week
he invited someone else.
It was a whole thing.
>> Victoria: Oh.
Well, when did this happen?
Why didn't she tell me about it?
>> Johnny: You think
I'd tell you about every girl
I hang out with?
>> Victoria: Well, you can.
I mean, you guys can talk to me
about anything if you wanted to.
>> Johnny: Yeah, I know,
but Katie, she just, she thinks
she can do everything
on her own.
She pretends she's all tough.
>> Victoria: I know.
I remember what I was
like at that age.
Nobody could tell me anything.
>> Johnny: Did they have TV
back then or was it just radio?
>> Victoria: Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they had television and
they had cars and telephones.
>> Johnny: But I bet you
couldn't put the phone
in your pocket.
>> Victoria: No, we couldn't.
They were actually attached
to the wall of all places.
>> Johnny: No video?
>> Victoria: Nope.
If we wanted to see someone,
we actually had to be with them.
>> Johnny: Tough time
for introverts.
>> Victoria: Yeah.
[ Victoria laughs ]
Hi.
>> Claire: What's so funny?
>> Victoria: Oh, nothing.
Johnny was just reminding me
of how ancient I am.
>> Johnny: It was just a joke.
Hey, Claire.
>> Claire: Hi, Johnny.
Where's Katie?
>> Johnny: Upstairs,
not talking.
I was just telling my mom not to
take anything personal with her.
She can be a pain sometimes,
but it never lasts long.
>> Audra: I'm not saying Kyle
isn't highly qualified.
He is, but I am more than
perfectly capable of running
the company on my own.
>> Victor: Yes, well,
that was the original plan.
>> Audra: And I still think
it's the best one.
>> Victor: This is in no way
a reflection of what I think of
your abilities and your skills.
Had I doubted those, I would not
have bought the damn company.
You know,
this is not merely a suggestion.
>> Audra: What is it, then?
>> Victor: A non-negotiable
directive.
Your work at Glissade is
contingent upon you agreeing
to work with Kyle.
Is that clear?
Hello, Kyle.
Thank you for coming.
>> Kyle: Victor.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Kyle: May I ask why you
invited me here?
>> Victor: Well, now there's
nothing for you
to be suspicious about.
There's been a development.
In fact, some good news.
Don't you agree, Audra?
>> Billy: Hi, Mom.
How you doing?
>> Jill: Oh, like
I'm ready to run a marathon.
How about you?
>> Billy: Okay, seriously,
how's-- how's your
treatment going?
>> Jill: It's going.
>> Billy: Okay, well,
Snapper says it's helping.
>> Jill: Yeah, it is, I suppose.
Anyway, what is the news
at Chancellor-Winters?
>> Billy: It's fantastic news.
And I really think you're
going to be happy about it.
>> Jill: It sounds like you're
trying to sell me something.
What is it?
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Nate: What's up?
It sounded urgent.
>> Devon: So, I just got back
from seeing Lily and Billy
have a very cozy lunch together.
And it looked like they were
celebrating something.
>> Nate: Could mean Lily's
moving forward with her plan.
>> Devon: It could, yeah.
>> Nate: What, you don't think
that's what's going on?
>> Devon: I just got a very
different vibe from seeing them.
>> Nate: Oh, come on, you can't
read anything to a vibe.
>> Devon: All right, well,
then, I don't know, then,
maybe this is me questioning
my instincts and wondering
if I've got everything wrong.
>> Victor: Kyle, kindly
take a seat.
>> Kyle: All right.
I'm listening.
What is this wonderful news?
>> Victor: So, with my
off-the-record assistance,
Audra is now
in charge of Tucker McCall's
cosmetics business, Glissade.
>> Kyle: What does this
have to do with me?
>> Victor: Well, it so happens
that she needs someone
to run the business with her.
And you came to mind.
>> Kyle: Are-- are you serious?
>> Victor: Remember, you and I
had a discussion at the bar
when you informed me
that you weren't quite happy
with your job at Jabot.
It wasn't challenging enough.
Well...
co-running Glissade with Audra
would be quite a challenge.
You interested?
>> Billy: I just finished
a meeting with Lily.
We're going to undo the merger.
>> Jill: No, Billy.
>> Billy: Just hear me out
for a second.
>> Jill: No, that's not the way
I wanted it all and I've
already explained my reasons.
>> Billy: Would you change
your mind if Lily decided
to come and work for our side?
>> Jill: That will never happen.
>> Billy: Well, it just did.
Devon is going to run Winters,
and Lily and I will partner
together and we will
be running Chancellor.
>> Jill: Wait, what?
>> Billy: It's all coming
together, Mom.
Your original plan.
And this time,
we'll be equal partners.
Chancellor will become
Abbott-Chancellor.
And your legacy is secure.
>> Nate: Wait a minute.
You don't think Lily's reneging
on her plan to trick Billy,
do you?
>> Devon: I'm just telling you
what I saw and what I felt.
That's it.
>> Nate: And your instincts?
>> Devon: I'm starting to worry
that she might really be
buying into the idea
of running the whole
Chancellor empire with him.
>> Nate: Or is it possible that
knowing who your sister is and
how she operates, that maybe
she has Billy on the hook
and is slowly reeling him in?
>> Devon: You think I'm
being paranoid?
>> Nate: Maybe a little.
>> Devon: You might be right.
I think it just got to me
seeing them together.
>> Nate: Your sister knows
what she's doing.
>> Devon: I still think we need
to keep our guard up, though.
I'm going to Paris with Abby
to check on her mom
and I would like for you to keep
an eye on Billy while I'm gone.
>> Lily: Oh, you don't have to
worry about Billy.
I have him right
where I want him.
But can you rethink
your trip to Paris?
Because this whole thing
is going to explode.
