>> Billy: Take your time, Chels.
>> Chelsea: Connor was happy.
Happiest we had seen him
in a really long time.
>> Billy: Well,
that's good, right?
>> Chelsea: Well, that's what
we thought.
Until, after we dropped him
off, his OCD flared.
Apparently,
because he was happy.
>> Billy: I'm sorry, Chels,
I-- I don't understand that.
>> Chelsea: He had a good time.
His spirits were soaring.
His OCD wanted to punish him
for that.
Wanted to make him feel he
didn't deserve to be happy.
>> Billy: That's awful.
>> Chelsea: Like, can you
even imagine?
My son can't spend time
with his parents without
this monstrous disease
trying to ruin it for him.
>> Billy: Did he...
hit himself again as well?
>> Chelsea: Billy.
He...
He took a pen and
tried to cut himself.
Luckily, the nurse got to him in
time, so he didn't cause
any major harm, but...
[ Chelsea sighs ]
...they had to transfer him
to inpatient status.
>> Billy: Chels, I'm so sorry.
>> Chelsea: It's just so unfair.
You know, my sweet little boy.
I'm so scared, Billy.
I mean, what if-- what if
he's never gonna be happy again?
What if this is just the way it
is for him, forever?
>> Billy: Okay, you can't think
that way, okay?
You-- you gotta trust that
this treatment program
will eventually work.
I mean, he was taking positive
steps forward before
this point, right?
>> Chelsea: Yeah, when he was
here, it was like the happiest
we'd seen him.
>> Billy: And he will have those
happy moments again,
and he'll learn to fend off
those impulses to--
to hurt himself.
You-- you just...
You-- you gotta believe that.
>> Chelsea: I know.
I'm really trying.
It's just not easy.
>> Billy: I know it's not easy.
Not for you.
Not for Connor.
And not for Adam, either.
How is Adam handling
this setback?
>> Diane: Jack, I thought your
plane had already landed.
Could you please call me
as soon as you get this?
I have to do something,
and I-- I want you to hear it
from me first.
[ Diane sighs ]
[ Kyle sighs ]
>> Kyle: Good morning.
>> Diane: I'm afraid it isn't.
And it's about to get
a lot worse.
>> Kyle: Can we please
not do this?
How about we just put our
heads down and do our jobs?
I'd much rather like
to avoid some more drama.
>> Diane: It's a little late
for that.
>> Kyle: What's this?
>> Diane: Your
termination notice.
You're fired.
♪♪
>> Audra: When Tucker finally
realized he lost and I won,
he panicked.
>> Sally: Cool, calm and
collected Tucker?
>> Audra: Mm. Just before
the board was about to vote,
he faked a heart attack.
>> Sally: Oh, my God.
He did not.
>> Audra: Can you believe it?
He collapsed on the video call.
The hotel doctor was called.
>> Sally: Okay, that is
quite a stunt.
Did anyone buy it?
>> Audra: There were some
concerned executives,
and his assistant
will probably never be the same,
but I knew exactly
what he was up to.
>> Sally: So, what happened?
>> Audra: Well, his impromptu
performance worked as
a delay tactic,
but not for long.
When it was clear that he wasn't
going to die, the board
reconvened and voted him out,
and me in.
>> Sally: Wow, you actually
pulled it off.
>> Audra: Did you doubt me?
>> Sally: No, never.
It's just a very bold move,
considering how hard
Tucker went after you.
I mean, you've seen how
volatile he can be.
And yet,
you poked the bear anyway.
>> Audra: It was risky,
and honestly, nerve-wracking.
But in the end, it was
an exhilarating ride.
It feels good to win.
Mm. What a rush.
>> Sally: For now.
>> Audra: I plan to bask in this
victory for a while, okay?
And the best part, he doesn't
even know who he's losing to.
>> Sally: What are you
talking about?
>> Audra: Well, I didn't pull
this off all by myself.
I had a partner who came in with
a large cash infusion that
played a big part in
convincing the board that
this was the right move.
>> Sally: Who was it?
>> Audra: I can't say.
That was part of the deal,
and my investor wants
to remain anonymous.
>> Sally: Well,
I'm sure Tucker hates that.
How did he react?
>> Audra: Not well.
>> Sally: He is a notoriously
bad loser.
Do you think he will try
and retaliate somehow?
>> Audra: Just let him try.
>> Kyle: You're-- you're
actually firing me.
>> Diane: I'm afraid you've left
me no choice,
but you'll see I included a very
generous severance package.
>> Kyle: I thought you were
threatening me.
A warning to get me to back off.
Now, I see you were setting up
your ultimate power play.
>> Diane: This isn't
a game, Kyle.
>> Kyle: Yeah, this is you
trying to prove who's boss.
>> Diane: It's amazing to me
that you still can't see this is
the result of your actions.
>> Kyle: Look, Jabot is my
family's company! You really
think you can just fire
me like this?
>> Diane: I'm an Abbott
too, you know.
>> Kyle: Only by marriage,
and a recent one at that.
Jabot is my birthright, and
I have grown up knowing that one
day, I'd be running this place.
You think you can just
rip that away from me
with a piece of paper?
>> Diane: I have given you
fair warning,
and you have chosen to ignore me
one time too many.
>> Kyle: You call this fair?
Just springing this on me?
>> Diane: Kyle, you're my son,
and you know how much
I love you.
But to be honest, I've had it.
I am done with you constantly
tweaking my work, embarrassing
me in front of colleagues,
and stabbing me in the back
whenever it's turned.
>> Kyle: Does Dad know
about this?
He doesn't, does he?
Do you really think he's going
to sign off on this?
>> Diane: You know, I--
I'm glad you're here. I--
I've been trying to reach you.
>> Jack: I just came straight
from the airport, just in time
to see my executive staff
engaged in whatever this is.
Both of you, in my office, now.
>> Sally: Well, I am impressed,
because not only did
you mastermind a coup,
you almost seem like you're
daring Tucker to come after you.
>> Audra: Well, I'm sure he's
consumed with rage,
plotting his revenge about now.
He's not used to
getting outplayed,
but I've covered all my bases,
and there is no way in hell
Tucker McCall is
ever hurting me again,
personally or professionally.
>> Sally: Wow, make it sound
so simple and absolute.
>> Audra: It's-- none of this
has been easy.
That's why I'm 100% sure
that I'm done with him.
You know, he broke my trust,
and he doesn't get
any more chances there.
But on the work front,
I've got my mystery investor,
and a person I promise has no
intention of ever letting Tucker
get his hands back on Glissade.
>> Sally: Right, yes,
this mystery investor.
What was their name again?
>> Audra: Nice try.
You're not getting it out of me.
But I do have a feeling
Glissade's new owner is plotting
the perfect time and place
to reveal him or herself.
>> Sally: Well, congratulations.
>> Audra: Thank you.
>> Sally: To a seamless
transition for the new head of
Glissade, and I can't wait
to hear all about your new
leadership when
the news hits the press.
>> Audra: Cheers.
>> Sally: Cheers.
>> Audra: Mm.
>> Sally: Mm.
>> Audra: You know, there are
still a few wrinkles I need to
iron out before we go
public with the changes,
but I am working on that.
Enough about me.
I want to know what's
going on with you. I--
I'm sure you're killing it
at Marchetti.
>> Sally: Well, not to be overly
modest, but uh, yeah, I am.
>> Audra: Well, I will be
the first in line to buy
one of your designs.
>> Sally: Well, thank you.
I am missing Adam, though.
He's still in Baltimore
with Chelsea and Connor.
>> Audra: How's that going?
>> Sally: Uh, not well.
He was supposed to come home
last night, but he called and
said things had taken a turn for
the worse, so they're gonna be
there for a little bit longer.
>> Audra: I'm sorry
to hear that.
Oof, my heart goes out
to that little boy.
>> Sally: Yeah. It's definitely
been unbearable for all of them,
but I just am afraid Adam is
taking it worse than anyone.
>> Audra: Are you thinking of
going to be with him?
>> Sally: I mean,
it's not really my place.
You know, I know Connor,
he's an amazing kid,
but I'm not his family, so...
>> Audra: Yeah, but you're
Adam's partner, and it sounds
like he could use your support.
>> Sally: He has Chelsea.
You know, what they're going
through as Connor's parents,
it's intense, and they've
had to navigate a lot
of their own tensions, and their
different parenting styles,
and I feel like they've finally
found a way to do that, you
know, to be there for their son.
>> Audra: If you say so.
>> Sally: It's a tricky balance,
and I just don't wanna insert
myself in the middle of it.
>> Audra: Now, I'm impressed.
A lot of women wouldn't
appreciate their guy spending so
much time with his ex-wife.
>> Chelsea: Believe it or not,
Adam was a rock.
After the doctor left,
I completely fell apart,
but Adam was the strong one.
He's been that a lot lately.
>> Billy: That is surprising.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, last night,
we just stayed up,
talking things through.
It helped.
I woke up feeling
more hopeful today.
>> Billy: That's good, I'm glad
you're staying positive.
So, what happens now?
>> Chelsea: We don't
really know.
>> Billy: Oh, are you able to
see Connor while he's inpatient,
or-- or are you heading home?
>> Chelsea: Well, we wanna stay
in town in case Connor improves
and we're allowed to go
see him, so...
>> Billy: Yeah, of course. Um,
well, you know, I can come
out there and be with you,
that's no problem.
I will go to your apartment,
I can grab some fresh clothes
and anything else
you might need.
>> Chelsea: Billy,
that's so sweet.
>> Billy: I just feel
so helpless.
You know, there must
be something I can do.
>> Kyle: You gonna tell him?
>> Jack: Tell me what?
>> Kyle: Mom gave me
a pink slip.
Did you agree to this?
>> Jack: No, I didn't.
>> Diane: I was trying to reach
you to explain what was going
on, to avoid a scene.
>> Jack: It seems a bit late
for that.
>> Diane: Jack, you know this
did not come out of the blue.
>> Jack: What I want to know is
what could possibly have
happened in the short time I was
away that would lead you to
fire our son?
>> Kyle: Yeah. That's what
I would like to know.
>> Diane: Oh, come on, Kyle.
You know exactly why
you're being fired.
I have tried to reason with you.
I have warned you multiple times
to back off, and yet,
you've persisted.
You know what? You have pushed
me too far, and your
self-promoting actions
have consequences.
>> Kyle: Do you hear this?
I have done nothing other than
the same job I've always done.
>> Diane: Yeah, and that's
the problem!
It's not your job anymore.
It's mine.
>> Kyle: Hey, are you gonna
step in here? Mom is completely
overreacting.
Clearly, she doesn't have
the experience to be
operating at this level.
>> Diane: Oh, please, please,
do not come to his
rescue now, Jack.
Now, when every time I try
to talk to you about this,
you said you wanted
to stay out of it.
And you wanted Kyle and I
to work it out between us.
>> Jack: I had hoped that the
two of you would be professional
enough to handle this in
a reasonable manner.
>> Diane: I have tried
everything to fix the problem,
and nothing has worked.
And he has left me no choice but
to take the only option I had
left, and I am not backing down.
>> Chelsea: As much as I would
love you to come here and wrap
your arms around me, I don't
want to pull you away from work.
How did it go with
the board vote and Jill?
>> Billy: Oh, you have enough
on your mind right now, okay?
I'll fill you in on the details
when you get back home.
>> Chelsea: Sounds
slightly ominous.
>> Billy: I wouldn't go
that far.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Chelsea: Hold on one second.
Hey, come on in.
Uh, I should go.
>> Billy: Okay. Um,
I'll call you later.
I miss you.
>> Chelsea: I miss you more.
Bye.
>> Adam: I didn't mean
to interrupt.
I can go if you want
to call him back.
>> Chelsea: No, it's okay.
Uh, did you talk to Sally?
>> Adam: Uh-huh.
She wishes that she could
do something to help, yeah.
>> Chelsea: Billy does too.
>> Adam: Hm. If only there was
something they could do.
There really isn't, is there?
There's nothing anyone can do.
>> Sally: What are you
talking about?
If I've given you the impression
at all that I'm jealous,
I'm-- I'm not.
>> Audra: Adam's off in a hotel,
all the way across
country, with his ex.
A twinge of jealousy
wouldn't be surprising.
>> Sally: Honestly,
it never even crossed my mind.
Adam and Chelsea,
their romance is long over.
>> Audra: Yeah, Tucker promised
me he was also done with his ex,
but every time I turned around,
and there she was.
>> Sally: Well, they are
a family in crisis, and
their only focus right now is on
Connor, and how to get him
through this nightmare.
>> Audra: Yeah, um, I'm--
I'm sure their son is
their primary focus.
>> Sally: Exactly. And besides,
Adam and I are in love.
He actually just asked me
to move in with him.
>> Audra: Oh.
>> Sally: He's letting me buy
throw pillows.
>> Audra: Oh, well, that
is love.
>> Sally: Yeah, and I--
I trust him.
Completely.
>> Audra: Wow.
I'm always amazed when
people can do that.
>> Sally: What?
>> Audra: Trust.
Yeah, I-- I've learned
the hard way to never
trust anyone. Ever.
>> Sally: Never.
>> Audra: I mean it.
I intend to spend the rest of
my life relying only on myself.
>> Sally: Okay.
All right then.
Well, then in that case,
what is your next step in
launching your completely
self-sufficient empire?
>> Audra: Making sure the last
few pieces are in place
to assure my success.
>> Kyle: Apparently, my mother
needs a crash course
on corporate protocol.
Can you please enlighten
your wife for me?
>> Diane: There it is again.
That condescending attitude that
I've had to put up with.
Any other Jabot employee would
have been fired a long time ago.
>> Jack: Yes, the attitude is
a problem, but he is upset
for a reason.
>> Kyle: Thank you
for understanding. I-- Dad,
remember how we used to work
together as co-CEOs?
We were in total sync.
I never would have imagined
firing someone without
talking to you first, and
I certainly wouldn't
have waited until he was
conveniently out of the country.
>> Diane: Well, I have been
waiting for you to pull yourself
together and start acting
like an actual executive instead
of an entitled heir apparent,
but you haven't!
>> Kyle: Why don't you just
admit it? You want me gone
because my mere presence shines
a spotlight on all
your inadequacies.
[ Diane scoffs ]
And I'm not the only one that
sees it, am I?
>> Jack: Hold on right there.
Diane has done an exemplary job.
>> Kyle: You have to say that,
to keep peace in your marriage.
>> Jack: Kyle, tone it down.
Now, what happened?
What-- what was the final straw?
>> Diane: Oh, why pick one when
there's been so many?
>> Kyle: Dad, see?
She can't point to anything.
>> Diane: You want to do this,
Kyle? Fine.
What about my press release that
you rewrote, because you felt
my copy was a little rushed?
>> Kyle: I made a few minor
tweaks to clean it up a bit.
That's no big deal.
>> Diane: No, you changed
my work without
discussing it with me.
And what about the meeting you
canceled with my project manager
and then rescheduled
without including me?
>> Kyle: That-- that was an
oversight. I-- I thought you
were busy, so I
stepped in for you.
>> Diane: Oh, nice try.
And what about all of
the emails addressed to me
that you were merely CCed on,
that you take it upon yourself
to answer before I even get
a chance to respond?
>> Kyle: You are harping on all
of the tiny details.
>> Diane: Tiny details?
All these tiny details undermine
my authority.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I was just
trying to help.
Be supportive.
Take a little work off your
plate, and you have somehow
unfairly managed to
turn my good intentions
into fireable offenses.
>> Audra: All right.
I will see you.
>> Sally: Bye.
>> Audra: Bye.
>> Sally: Have a good day.
>> Audra: Billy.
>> Billy: Hi, Audra.
Morning, Sally.
>> Sally: Billy.
>> Billy: Hi.
>> Sally: Hi. Uh, care
to join me?
>> Billy: For breakfast?
>> Sally: I mean, I'd settle
for coffee.
I know we're not exactly
friends, but our lives seem to
be crossing paths more these
days and I don't know,
I thought maybe we should
get to know each other
a little better,
especially since
we're so firmly Team Connor.
>> Billy: Can't argue with that.
Um, since you are being
so generous,
do you mind if I give you
a tip of my own?
>> Sally: Please do.
>> Billy: The woman that
just left.
>> Sally: Audra?
>> Billy: Be careful around her.
>> Sally: Okay.
It's funny, because people would
probably say the same thing
to her about me but, um, yes,
uh, Audra has been nothing but
a good friend to me so far.
>> Billy: Okay.
Well, take it or leave it,
but you've been warned.
>> Sally: Okay, duly noted.
So, uh, when was the last time
you spoke with Chelsea?
>> Billy: We, uh,
we spoke this morning.
She filled me in on what's
going on with Connor.
>> Sally: Yeah, I--
I can't believe it.
Just when things were starting
to get a little better,
and then something like this
had to happen.
>> Billy: Yeah. I mean, I hate
what this OCD is doing to him.
To all of them, frankly.
>> Sally: Yeah, it just seems
cruel and unfair.
>> Billy: And they're in
Baltimore and we're sitting here
with no way to help.
>> Adam: Brought some coffee and
your favorite pastries. You
want to eat a little something?
>> Chelsea: Ah. Thanks,
but I'm not hungry.
>> Adam: Oh.
Yeah, me either.
[ both sigh ]
>> Chelsea: Actually,
we need to stay strong.
For Connor's sake,
so, um, I'll tell you what.
I'll have a bite if you do.
>> Adam: I'm not a toddler.
So, you don't need to
talk to me like one.
>> Chelsea: I wouldn't have to
if you would just eat something.
>> Adam: Give me that.
[ garbled ] Thank you.
>> Diane: Do you care to explain
your good intentions to your
father with the
Huntley deal, hm?
>> Kyle: I-- I was just trying
to help.
>> Jack: Wait, wait.
What happened with Huntley?
>> Diane: Uh, I specifically
told Kyle not to finalize
anything. That there were a few
details I was still working out.
And then, I came to the office
this morning to find out
that Kyle had gone behind
my back and done exactly
what I asked him not to do.
>> Kyle: The deal was done.
I had ironed out the numbers
months ago.
Their CEO called me, furious,
wondering what the holdup was.
Said you were stonewalling him.
You let it languish.
Put a major deal at risk.
He was ready to walk.
>> Diane: He wasn't going
anywhere. I had him right where
I wanted him. He was just trying
to play hardball.
But then, you pushed the deal
through, all on your own,
despite my direct orders.
>> Kyle: He wasn't bluffing.
I talked to him.
He wasn't giving an inch.
>> Diane: Well, you're wrong.
You should have consulted
with me. I was about to get
Jabot a much better deal.
>> Kyle: Okay, look, about to
and getting are two very
different things.
>> Diane: Well, we'll never know
now for sure, will we?
Oh, and on top of that,
the man now won't take my calls.
>> Jack: What? Why?
>> Diane: Because Kyle told him
to bypass me,
and deal directly with him.
So tell me,
how benevolent is that?
How is that anything
but a direct stab in my back?
>> Jack: I have to say, Kyle,
hearing this, I agree.
You went way too far.
>> Kyle: I don't believe this.
You're-- you're actually siding
with Mom on this.
Won't you just at least look
at my Huntley numbers before
you decide that I'm wrong?
>> Jack: Kyle, this isn't
about right and wrong.
>> Kyle: No, there is no way she
could have brokered a better
deal than the one I've--
>> Jack: Don't you see what
you've done?
You have put it out there,
in the business world,
that you don't believe in one of
our chief executives.
That they can just ignore
her when they want to do
business with Jabot.
Why would you do that?
>> Kyle: That's not what I did.
>> Jack: That is exactly what
you did. You did damage
to her credibility,
and Jabot's, and mine.
>> Kyle: Not true.
Your reputation is stellar.
Nothing anyone could
say would change that.
>> Jack: Oh, Kyle, I wish
it was that simple.
You have made it look
like I gave my wife a job
she didn't deserve and
wasn't qualified for.
Nothing could be
further from the truth.
You were the one that advocated
for me giving Diane that
job to begin with.
>> Kyle: I don't believe
this is happening.
Especially from you.
I guess I'll go clean
out my office.
>> Jack: No, wait, Kyle. Wait.
>> Kyle: For what?
The so-called Abbott
legacy to kick in?
So much for that.
>> Jack: Kyle, I believe you
made an error in judgment.
I also believe you being
fired was premature.
Can we just talk this out?
>> Kyle: What, and
now you want to talk it out?
Two minutes ago,
your minds were made up.
>> Jack: We all make mistakes.
That includes me.
I made the mistake of
insisting that the two of
you work things out on your own.
I should have jumped in and
helped come up with
the solution. Let's do that now.
>> Kyle: No, don't bother.
This pink slip from Mom proves
that we are way past any
mutually agreed solution.
Consider me gone.
>> Jack: Kyle, Kyle, don't go.
Come-- come here.
[ Diane sighs ]
>> Diane: Please don't blame me
for this.
>> Adam: I'm not trying
to be difficult...
but this waiting
around is killing me.
>> Chelsea: I know.
>> Adam: We have no control at
all and I just don't know how
much more of this I can take.
>> Chelsea: I know.
We just, we have to be patient.
>> Adam: I mean, how?
Our son's well-being is
completely out of our hands.
Every parenting instinct tells
me that this is, it's all wrong.
>> Chelsea: Don't say that.
We are not helpless.
I-- I mean, look what we've done
for Connor so far.
>> Adam: What did we do?
Ship him off to a place where
we can't even visit him now?
>> Chelsea: Well, getting him
into this clinic and convincing
him and ourselves that this is
the right place for him,
that was a giant step.
>> Adam: Yeah.
>> Chelsea: I know along the way
we needed to fight our
instincts, but we did
the research.
These doctors are the best in
their field and we have to trust
that they are gonna do what
they're trained to do.
You know, and in the meantime,
we-- we send
Connor positive thoughts.
You heard him yesterday.
He said that he could feel that.
He knows we love him.
So, we have to stay positive,
okay? Until we're allowed
to go see him again.
>> Adam: You-- you really are
something, you know that?
>> Chelsea: What did I do now?
>> Adam: Reminded me, yet again,
of your incredible devotion to
fighting like hell for our son.
I don't know where Connor
and I would be in all
of this without you.
>> Chelsea: Well, back at you.
>> Adam: I have to wonder,
though, are we making a mistake
staying in this town?
>> Jack: I don't blame you.
>> Diane: Good.
>> Jack: I just wanna know what
happened. I wanna know how
things escalated so quickly.
You and Kyle were getting
along wonderfully until
you took over his old job.
>> Diane: I think you just
answered your own question.
>> Jack: You really want me to
believe this is as petty
as resentment over a job?
>> Diane: Yes.
Kyle clearly wasn't happy being
relegated to third position
in a company.
It was, I don't know,
it was just too much
for his ego to handle.
And so, consciously or not,
he started retaliating
in any way he could.
>> Jack: Much as I hate to admit
it, you might be right.
>> Diane: Well, think about
the timing for when
things got tense between us.
There's really
no other explanation.
>> Jack: This would not be the
first time that Kyle betrayed
a family member for
his own personal gain.
>> Diane: Well, hopefully,
it's the last.
>> Jack: Was it really
necessary to fire him, though?
>> Diane: Jack, do you think
I wanted to do that?
I mean, Kyle is my son.
You know how much I love him.
And after how hard it was to get
him to trust me again,
after how hard I worked on
our relationship once I came
back to town?
Listen to me, this-- this
is not at all what I wanted.
>> Jack: That's why
I'm advocating for
a different solution.
>> Diane: Yeah, but there isn't
one. I mean, Kyle is just--
he's just so angry with me.
And then I,
and then I fight back, right?
And then I'm walking
on eggshells, just trying
not to make things worse.
And you know, it's not-- it's
not just here at the office.
It's also happening at home.
I mean, honey, it's gotten to
the point that the only time
we are even remotely
normal with each other is
when Harrison's in the room.
>> Jack: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
>> Victor: Hello, Kyle.
>> Kyle: Victor.
>> Victor: Have a seat.
So...
you ready to accept my offer?
>> Kyle: Oh, I am more than
ready. I've officially
left Jabot.
>> Sally: Look, I know
this is probably really
awkward, considering how much
you and Adam dislike each other.
>> Billy: We've had our moments.
There's no doubt about that.
But none of that matters now.
>> Sally: I just keep thinking
about Connor and how
he must feel so alone.
>> Billy: Yeah, it's impossible
for me to not think about how
this would feel for me
or how I would react if it were
Johnny and Katie.
And I know you don't have
kids yet, but you can imagine...
I'm sorry.
That was insensitive.
I apologize.
>> Sally: I know what you meant.
And you lost a child,
too, so I know you get the pain.
>> Billy: Yeah, it changes you
forever. Makes you
see life in a new light.
>> Sally: Yeah, it really does.
>> Billy: What's hard for me is
imagining Connor battling all
these intrusive thoughts,
you know, on his own, like
he's in some kind of prison.
>> Sally: Yeah, now he's
an inpatient and I feel like
it's even more isolating.
I mean, the kid I know,
he's just fun and smart.
We used to joke all the time.
>> Billy: You will again.
But it is excruciating, knowing
what he's going through and
the toll that it's taking
on Chelsea and Adam.
>> Sally: Chelsea's really lucky
to have you in her corner.
>> Billy: Not half as lucky as
Adam is to have you.
>> Chelsea: How would staying
near Connor be a mistake?
He might need us.
They could call any minute,
saying he's ready for a visit.
>> Adam: Yeah, but we don't know
when that call is gonna come.
I mean, think about what it's
gonna be like to stay
here while we wait for that.
>> Chelsea: Well, at least we're
close by. Otherwise, it'll take
us hours to get here when he
is ready.
>> Adam: Yes, but we're gonna be
sitting in this room, wondering
about Connor every second.
Think about what that's
gonna be like.
It's gonna be pure torture,
don't you think?
>> Chelsea: Adam, we would be
doing that at home, too.
>> Adam: The doctor said it
could be a couple weeks before
Connor is released.
With nothing to do in this hotel
room, I mean, we're gonna
be reduced to two frantic,
stir-crazy parents by the time
Connor finally gets to see us.
>> Chelsea: I see your point.
I really do.
But I have to be close
to my son.
At least right now.
So if-- if you wanna go,
for whatever reason,
I totally understand.
And you can always hop on
a plane and come back
if things change.
>> Adam: Well, you're not gonna
get rid of me that easy.
If you're staying,
I'm gonna stay, too.
>> Diane: Thanks, Jack. I could
really use your support today.
But I'm-- I'm sure you could use
mine after everything
you've been through.
I know it's gotta be hard
to come home from Paris to this.
>> Jack: Yeah, it's been
a rough few days.
>> Diane: Yeah, I know
it's horrible timing with
all the stress about Ashley.
How's she doing?
>> Jack: She's in a wonderful
facility. I didn't get to spend
much time there, but...
she seems strong and in control.
>> Diane: Well, did the doctor
say how long she'll be there?
>> Jack: Oh, I don't think they
know and they weren't willing
to share with me every
step in her recovery. I--
Alan did think that she will
fully recover.
>> Diane: Well, I hope she rests
as well and is home soon.
>> Jack: Thanks. I saw Allie.
>> Diane: Ah! She's always so
happy and positive on her phone.
>> Jack: Oh, she is so happy
in Paris.
Loved having
her Aunt Traci there and Abby--
Abby is pretty upset
that she wasn't informed
about her mother's situation.
>> Diane: I can imagine. It's--
it's hard to know how to
protect your child, even
when they're an adult.
I mean, you just, you never
know how far to go.
>> Jack: I'm not ready to
give up on Kyle.
Maybe he can still
come back to Jabot.
Maybe there's a way
to work this all out.
>> Victor: You left Jabot
rather suddenly, didn't you?
>> Kyle: I would say it's right
on time, wouldn't you?
>> Victor: But something must
have prompted you to leave
so quickly.
>> Kyle: I realized you were
right. I have way too much
untapped potential to waste
it somewhere that doesn't
value what I have to offer.
>> Victor: So, this is all right
with your parents?
>> Kyle: What difference
does it make? I'm a free agent
now. I'm free to work wherever
I like and I want to come
and run Glissade for you.
>> Victor: Question to you is,
are you really ready to become
a serious competitor to Jabot?
>> Kyle: Oh, I have
every intention of giving Jabot
a run for their money.
>> Diane: I know you want to
turn this thing around
with Kyle.
And in a perfect world,
I want that too.
The three of us working together
at Jabot, making
it an even stronger
company for Kyle and
Harrison to run someday.
>> Jack: It has been my dream
since the day I found
out he was my son.
>> Diane: Well, it's my
dream too.
>> Jack: You're talking about
the Abbott family legacy here.
>> Diane: And it can still
happen. It can.
But right now, letting Kyle go
was the only course we had.
>> Victor: Well, Kyle,
I am very happy that you are
solidly on board with Glissade,
but...
there's only one question
and that is why
did you leave Jabot so quickly?
>> Kyle: Leaving Jabot wasn't
a quick decision.
I had been thinking
about it for a while.
It's hard to stay somewhere when
you've been demoted twice.
>> Victor: Now, I understand why
you want to move on.
>> Kyle: Look, Victor, I have
had it, being shunted around by
my father, and the sad part is,
it had nothing to do with
my business skills. It was
for purely personal reasons.
>> Victor: Well, Jabot's loss
seems to be Glissade's gain.
>> Kyle: This is a perfect
opportunity to prove to them
what they're losing.
>> Victor: I like your drive,
Kyle. There's only one caveat.
>> Kyle: What's that?
>> Victor: Removing Audra from
the equation is
out of the question.
She and you have to work
out a way to work together.
>> Kyle: With all due respect,
I think I can do a better job
if I don't have to
constantly be watching my--
>> Victor: There's no point.
I want the two of you to
work together, to turn
Glissade into a powerhouse.
If you can't do that,
then the offer is off the table.
>> Kyle: If that is a deal
breaker and Audra and I have to
share the top spot, I'm sure we
can find a way to work through
our differences.
>> Victor: Good.
I had a feeling you would
get on board with that.
>> Kyle: In six months' time,
when you see me dancing circles
around Audra, hopefully
you'll reconsider your--
>> Victor: No competition
between the two of you.
I want you to work together,
all right?
>> Kyle: Got it.
>> Victor: Now, I suggest you
contact Audra and tell her that
you're on board and you find
a way to work together.
All right? I want you to
hit the ground running.
Time is of the essence.
>> Kyle: Yes, sir.
>> Victor: Thank you for
coming by.
[ Kyle sighs ]
>> Audra: Thank you.
