>> Mariah: Mom?
Mom?
Hello?
>> Sharon: Oh, hi honey.
I didn't hear you come in.
>> Mariah: Are--
are you all right?
You were a million miles away.

[ knocking on door ]
>> Diane: Busy?
>> Jack: You have the Joplin
figures already?
>> Diane: Oh, I--
I haven't even started. I--
>> Jack: Kyle.
>> Diane: It's all I can
think about.
How badly things have
fallen apart with our son.
>> Jack: Well, that makes
two of us.
>> Diane: Jack, I know that this
is tearing you apart.
Jabot is Kyle's legacy,
and it's been our dream for
him to run the company
someday, and now I'm...
I'm just really sorry.
>> Jack: Yeah.
Maybe time will heal.
Kyle's left the company
before and come back.
No reason that can't
happen again.
>> Diane: It's not just Jabot
that will be affected. I'm...
I'm worried that our family
will never be the same.
>> Jack: So what, you're having
second thoughts?
>> Diane: Well, that's what
I keep asking myself.
You know, what could
I have done differently?
What other...
What other option did I have?
>> Jack: And what conclusions
have you come up with?
>> Diane: Only that,
business-wise,
I made the only call
I could when I fired Kyle.
>> Audra: Hey.
>> Kyle: Few
minutes late.
>> Audra: Yeah,
I have priorities.
>> Kyle: I'm not one of them?
>> Audra: I was on the phone
with Victor. I wanted to make
sure this meeting you wanted
was legit.
>> Kyle: Suspicious.
>> Audra: Can you blame me?
>> Kyle: Eh, it goes both ways.
>> Audra: Yeah, but then
here you are,
all that suspicion,
but suddenly eager and ready
to run Glissade with me.
>> Kyle: I gave your offer some
thought and I realized
it's an opportunity
I can't afford to pass up.
>> Audra: Even if it means
working with me?
>> Kyle: Given Glissade's
potential, I'm willing
to overlook our past.
>> Audra: You were absolutely
against working with me.
"No way in hell,"
was your exact quote.
So tell me,
has hell frozen over?
>> Sharon: I'm right here
and I'm fine.
I'm-- I'm happy to see you.
>> Mariah: Okay. Are you sure?
Because you didn't hear me
when I knocked,
or when I opened the door, or
I called out a couple times.
>> Sharon: My mind's been
wandering a little bit lately.
Just for a few moments,
and then that's it.
I'm-- I'm all good.
>> Mariah: Um, well,
maybe more than a few,
because your tea is cold.
>> Sharon: No, I just
made it. I--
I thought.
>> Mariah: Are you coming down
with something?
Are you feeling okay?
>> Sharon: What? No, of course
not. I'm fine.
You know what?
It's so wonderful
having Faith back home.
I did her laundry earlier.
>> Mariah: You did?
You're kidding.
>> Sharon: It was fun.
>> Mariah: Oh, I think you need
to revise your idea of fun.
>> Sharon: You know, I think
Faith would agree with you
on that.
>> Mariah: How is she doing,
by the way?
Her breakup with Moses?
>> Sharon: She is struggling,
but she has her friends
and her family and
she's determined to move ahead.
>> Mariah: She is resilient,
that one.
>> Sharon: I think it's
a family trait.
>> Mariah: Well, I was hoping
to, uh, catch her here
this morning.
>> Sharon: Oh, she ran off
with some friends and as far
as I know, she's going to be
busy all day.
>> Mariah: Well, maybe you and
Nick freaked her out with that
blow-by-blow true confessions
about your guys'
epic love story.
>> Sharon: Do you think that
Nick and I went too far,
telling her everything?
>> Mariah: Look, she's very,
very strong.
But I wouldn't be surprised
if it brought up some
not-so-great memories.
>> Sharon: Well, I think maybe
sharing our story reminded her
and showed her how much love
this family is capable of,
no matter
what obstacles we face.
>> Mariah: The good,
the bad and the ugly?
>> Sharon: Yes.
And there was a lot of good.
And I think that that's what
Faith is holding on to.
And so am I.
>> Faith: Thank you so much for
texting me to meet.
We're kind of sort of related,
so I figured we'd get
to know each other.
>> Lucy: Yeah, I'd really
like that, and I love these.
>> Faith: It's one of the things
I miss most about Genoa City.
Nobody makes a better latte.
>> Lucy: You know,
I don't really know how much
I would miss home
if I went off to college.
I mean, not that I don't love
my parents and living here,
but, you know, when my mom and
I were living in Savannah, there
was a college really nearby,
and it just seemed like
everyone was having so
much fun all the time.
You know,
living in the dorms and
all the freedom and the parties.
You know, it just seemed like--
seemed like a blast.
>> Faith: There's this one thing
called studying you kind
of have to squeeze in
every once in a while.
>> Lucy: Yeah, right.
Are you, uh, in a sorority?
I don't know. Those always
seemed like so much fun.
All the parties with the frats
and being a little sister.
>> Faith: I hate to
disappoint you,
but no Alpha Delta Pi for me.
I mainly just hang out
with my friends.
My boyfriend.
>> Lucy: You have a boyfriend?
>> Faith: I should have said ex.
We just broke up.
>> Lucy: Oh, no. I'm sorry.
What happened?
>> Faith: He was a jerk.
>> Lucy: Right. Well, it still
must have really sucked.
So, I'm sorry.
>> Faith: More time to hang out
with my girlfriends.
My family.
And the party thing?
I don't drink, so I'm not
really into it.
>> Lucy: Like, never?
>> Faith: Not a drop.
>> Lucy: Not that that's weird
or-- or anything.
>> Faith: Thank you?
>> Lucy: I just, like--
I thought that everyone in
college drank. Isn't that kind
of part of the whole experience?
>> Faith: Not for me.
At least not anymore.
The last time I drank,
I almost died.
>> Kyle: Victor was right.
I have been unhappy working at
Jabot under my mother
and father.
>> Audra: Demoted again.
Last I remember, you were only
COO working under your father.
And now,
you are third in command.
Ugh, must be such a grind after
having been king of the world.
>> Kyle: Something like that.
I accepted it, focused on what
was best for the company,
tried to help out where I could.
>> Audra: But?
>> Kyle: My mother is
supremely inexperienced.
Insecure. She's in
way over her head.
She takes concern as criticism,
help as interference,
and instead of showing gratitude
or trying to learn something,
she's constantly pulling rank.
Turning everything
into a power struggle.
>> Audra: And your dad
is okay with this?
>> Kyle: He supports
her completely.
No matter what.
>> Audra: Well, that is no way
to run a business.
>> Kyle: Now, you understand
why I'm more than ready
to make a change.
>> Audra: Even if it means
working with someone
you profoundly distrust?
>> Kyle: I'm impressed
by your memory of every
disparaging word
I've ever said about you.
But I like to believe that
trust can be rebuilt.
>> Audra: Yeah, that makes
one of us.
But I'm willing to try,
if you are.
>> Kyle: Here's the good news.
We know everything there is
to know about each other.
>> Audra: And then some.
>> Kyle: We move fast.
We break things.
We take no prisoners.
We do whatever it takes
to get what we want,
and we don't stop until we do.
Have we screwed each other over?
Absolutely.
A healthy dose of mutual
distrust will keep us
on our toes.
So, why not roll the dice
and see what happens?
>> Sally: Okay.
You're right. Yeah.
Everything you said.
It's the perfect solution.
>> Chloe: I know.
God, I love doing this.
>> Sally: I'm really sorry that
Summer hasn't leapt at
the chance to rehire you.
>> Chloe: You know, I--
Look, I-- I know it was
a bit of a reach, bringing me on
as your second.
You know, I was a bit of a pain
when I walked out on Marchetti.
>> Sally: A bit.
>> Chloe: Hey, look, I--
I have ideas and I am
passionate about what I do.
I mean, I-- I love what I do
and I'm really damn good at it.
>> Sally: Mm-hmm. Yeah,
you're one of the best.
Which is why I am hoping that
Summer makes a decision soon.
>> Chloe: I'm not holding
out hope.
[ phone pinging ]
>> Sally: Would you
look at that.
>> Chloe: Well, is it good news
or bad news?
>> Sally: Well, it's Summer,
and she wants to meet with me.
And you.
>> Chloe: Oh.
>> Sally: Looks like she's
coming around.
>> Chloe: No, she just wants to
crack her whip.
Make me jump through hoops
that are too high
or too small or too something.
She wants to watch me squirm.
>> Sally: Okay, well, there is
only one way to find out.
>> Audra: You'll understand if
I'm a bit skeptical.
Last time you told me how
unhappy you were at Jabot,
you were setting me up.
>> Kyle: And then you
double-crossed me.
>> Audra: Because I was all in
with Tucker at the time.
>> Kyle: And then you screwed
him out of Glissade.
>> Audra: You judging me?
>> Kyle: No, I was thinking
more along the lines of...
respect.
>> Audra: Okay,
don't lay it on too thick.
>> Kyle: Hey, you outplayed
a man who considers himself
a master.
I have to ask how you did it.
>> Audra: Tucker broke
his own rule.
He let emotion get in the way.
>> Kyle: Because he loved you.
>> Audra: No, it made him weak.
>> Kyle: Oh.
>> Audra: Once I realized there
was no future for us,
the rest was academic.
Assess Glissade's value,
rally the board,
find an investor.
Yeah. When Tucker realized what
I'd done, the man was
so desperate to stop me,
so out of moves,
that the best he could come up
with was to fake a heart attack
to put off the board vote.
>> Kyle: Wow, that's bold,
even for him.
>> Audra: It was pathetic.
I can't believe I ever thought
he was such a mastermind.
>> Kyle: Maybe you're the one
who won't let her emotions
get in the way again.
>> Audra: That's never
gonna happen again.
Trust me.
>> Kyle: Right there.
That's common ground.
>> Audra: You're-- you're
saying all the right things.
>> Kyle: Well, I'm here
because I want a job.
You're here because you moved on
from whatever
doubts you have about me.
>> Audra: Wrong.
I'm here because Victor's
given me no choice.
>> Kyle: I bet your head
exploded when he insisted
we work together as co-CEOs.
>> Audra: Just stay in your lane
and we'll be fine.
>> Kyle: You really
believe that?
Look, Victor Newman trying to
force us to work together
is him just playing God.
But what I don't understand is
how he fits in all this.
I mean, what does he want?
Why would he buy a Paris-based
cosmetics company?
Is he trying to create
a viable rival to Jabot?
Is this somehow tied
into his decades-old battle
with my father?
>> Audra: Interesting.
>> Kyle: What?
>> Audra: You've agreed to
partner with me
even though you suspect that
Victor could be using Glissade
to target your father.
>> Kyle: So.
>> Audra: Maybe this is what
you've wanted all along.
Retaliation against the family
who doesn't appreciate you.
>> Diane: Look, tearing this
company and this family apart is
the last thing I wanted,
but Kyle's insubordination, his
refusal to show me any respect.
What other choice did I have?
>> Jack: There are
always choices.
>> Diane: Well, do you think
I'm wrong?
Jack, when you brought me into
Jabot, I was so grateful.
I-- I was excited,
I was inspired
to put my skill set and
my experience to good use,
and then when you made me
co-CEO, I was determined
to prove that I was worthy
of your belief in me.
To work side by side with
my husband and my son
to build Jabot into
the best it could be?
It was like a dream come true.
>> Jack: Yeah, that's what
we all wanted.
>> Diane: Yeah, but instead,
it's-- it's turned into
this nightmare.
I mean, Kyle is--
He's just so resentful.
And he's so angry
and-- and so condescending.
And the lack of trust it's
created, the tension?
I mean, the whole thing
is just unraveled into
this horrible mess.
>> Jack: I just can't believe
it's gotten to the point where
we have to take such
drastic measures.
>> Diane: Well, firing Kyle
was a last resort.
And believe me, it was
not an easy decision.
But Kyle had so many chances
to be a team player.
But he didn't even try.
Instead, he went out of his way
to undermine me.
And that kind of behavior
cannot be tolerated.
>> Jack: I agree.
At the same time, he seems a bit
old to be punished by
his mother and father.
>> Diane: I didn't make that
decision to fire him
as his mother.
I made it as co-CEO
of this company.
And it's not like I didn't try
to find other solutions.
I even offered to step down and
switch positions with him,
but remember,
you disagreed with that.
But, look, all that aside,
our son was given more chances
than I would have given any
other employee.
>> Jack: I know you did
everything we could.
>> Diane: I did.
But honey, when I see how much
this is hurting you,
I wish there could have
been another solution.
>> Jack: Yeah, so do I.
But this just tells me I made
the right choice when I decided
not to reinstate him as co-CEO,
and it appears our son
has some maturing to do.
>> Kyle: The situation with
my family has changed
considerably since
I was spying for them.
Were there issues back then?
Absolutely.
But I felt like I could prove
myself to earn back my co-CEO
position and I had my mom's
support every step of the way.
And then she got a taste of
the C-suite power and she's only
been out for herself ever since.
And my father blindly
enables her.
>> Audra: I'm sorry
to hear that.
>> Kyle: Yeah, no, you're not.
Now, back to the question
you avoided.
What is Victor up to?
>> Audra: No idea.
>> Kyle: Would you tell me?
Even if you know?
>> Audra: Probably not.
All I do know is Victor
wants his name kept out
of it completely.
Even Tucker doesn't know
it was Victor who helped me
steal his company.
>> Kyle: I'm impressed you
didn't decide to share.
>> Audra: In case I haven't made
myself clear, Tucker and I are
through. I will be sharing
nothing with him.
And that doesn't mean he didn't
try to get it out of me.
He actually thought your father
was my backer.
>> Kyle: Not a bad guess,
given how much
they hate each other.
>> Audra: That could be
what's behind
Victor's move as well.
Good old-fashioned hate.
But does Victor's motive really
matter if he lets us run
Glissade the way we want?
>> Kyle: I doubt it'll be that
cut and dry.
Nothing with Victor Newman
ever is.
>> Audra: Yeah, I don't see this
as such a straightforward
move for you either.
>> Kyle: What's that
supposed to mean?
>> Audra: This isn't the first
time Newman Enterprises has
gone big in the cosmetics world.
Given that, plus my business
expertise and your contribution,
aren't you worried about
the competition for your
family's sacred Jabot?
>> Kyle: Are you kidding me?
I couldn't be more excited.
>> Mariah: So, Aria's latest and
greatest word is "oggie."
Yep. And every time she sees an
"oggie", she laughs
and smiles and she like jumps up
and down and does this dance
thing that she does.
I mean, it's-- it's adorable.
But Tessa had to sit her down
and unfortunately explain to her
that we're probably not getting
an "oggie" anytime soon, because
she really, really wants one.
And then the cow ran
away with the spoon.
>> Sharon: You know,
that's so cute.
>> Mariah: Really?
Because I have a sneaking
suspicion you didn't
hear a word I said.
>> Sharon: What?
You were talking about Aria.
>> Mariah: Uh-huh. And?
>> Sharon: How cute she is.
>> Mariah: Yes, but that's
very generic.
Since when do you zone out
on an Aria story?
Especially when her word
count has jumped to four.
>> Sharon: Oh, I'm sorry.
You know,
this Cassidy First Grant program
is just swirling around
in my head and I probably didn't
get enough sleep last night,
but you know how much
I adore Aria.
So, please continue.
I will hang on your every word.
>> Mariah: Okay, well, it's
actually more show and tell.
After Tessa ix-nayed a puppy,
Aria created this masterpiece.
>> Sharon: What is it?
>> Mariah: Her very own oggie.
>> Sharon: Oh, right. Yeah.
I can tell. There's the tail.
>> Mariah: I think that might
actually be the nose,
but I'm not sure.
Do you like it?
>> Sharon: I was just thinking
about how much Cassie
liked to paint and draw.
I used to hang her artwork
all over this house.
Our refrigerator was just loaded
with her masterpieces.
>> Mariah: Well, maybe this can
be an honoree on the fridge.
>> Sharon: Mm-hmm.
>> Mariah: Okay, that's it.
>> Sharon: What's it?
>> Mariah: You are working
so hard.
You're juggling Cassidy First
and Crimson Lights.
It is obviously too much.
You're exhausted.
Okay, so Dr. Mariah
has a prescription
that always does the trick.
>> Sharon: What?
>> Mariah: We are going to have
a little sunshine and
a little grandma time.
>> Sharon: Oh, that just
sounds great.
And there is nothing
I would love more,
but you just said it yourself.
I'm swamped with work. I can't.
>> Mariah: Uh-huh. So, you have
time to do loads of laundry,
but not see your granddaughter?
>> Sharon: Well, it has been
a while since we had
a play date.
>> Mariah: Great!
And it just so happens
I'm on my way to the park
to see Tessa and Aria.
We're doing a little picnic,
so you're coming, all right?
>> Sharon: You know what?
You're right.
Some Aria time,
that's exactly what I need.
>> Lucy: Wow, you almost died.
That's-- that's terrible.
What happened?
>> Faith: I was going through
a rough time.
I made some bad choices,
bad friends.
I started drinking.
One night, I got drunk.
I had the brilliant idea of
stealing a truck from
my grandparents' ranch.
I crashed.
>> Lucy: Wow. Were--
were you hurt?
>> Faith: It was pretty bad.
I had to have surgery.
Then, I got an infection.
I probably would have died
if my Uncle Adam hadn't given me
one of his kidneys.
>> Lucy: Wow. That all--
that all sounds pretty horrible.
But you're totally fine now?
>> Faith: Good as new.
>> Lucy: That's why no drinking.
>> Faith: Pretty good reasons,
I'd say.
>> Lucy: Yeah, I guess that all
makes a lot of sense, but,
I don't know,
don't you ever feel like you're
missing out on all the fun?
>> Faith: I guess it depends on
what your definition of fun is.
[ phone pings ]
This has been great,
but I have got to go. I'm
meeting up with some friends.
>> Lucy: Oh, I didn't even get
to hear about
the crazy kidnapping story.
>> Faith: We can save it
for another time.
>> Lucy: Yeah,
that sounds great. Well,
I'm pretty much around, so.
>> Faith: I'll let you know.
>> Lucy: Okay, well, have fun.
>> Faith: Enjoy the rest
of your day.
>> Kyle: My mother's paranoia,
and my father's support of it,
has completely soured me
on Jabot. A company that is run
like a mom-and-pop echo chamber
doesn't deserve to be
at the top,
and they won't be for long.
>> Audra: Hm, spoken like
you mean it.
>> Kyle: I do.
>> Audra: Look, I don't have
a problem taking down Jabot,
not that I have anything
against Jack,
but Diane has never liked me.
>> Kyle: She didn't like it when
she saw the two of us
together the other day.
>> Audra: Yeah, she went all
uh, snarky mama bear on me.
So overprotective of
her little boy.
You sure she's really
turned on you?
>> Kyle: My mom also let me
believe that she was dead
for years,
so there's kind of a lack
in consistency there.
>> Audra: Hm, good point.
>> Kyle: Regardless of the way
my mom feels today,
I'm going to take everything
I've learned and turn Glissade
into a powerhouse rival
like Jabot has never
seen before.
>> Audra: This might
work out after all.
[ indistinct chattering ]
>> Sally: What's wrong?
>> Summer: Nothing. Just, um,
my ex acting
like an idiot again.
>> Audra: Have you brought
Summer up to speed on your
employment situation?
>> Kyle: We are officially
divorced, so our conversations
are limited to Harrison.
>> Audra: Good to know.
You ready for next steps?
>> Kyle: Um, before we do that,
I want to discuss the very
real possibility that Tucker
could be out for revenge.
He could come back
fighting for Glissade.
Are you ready for that?
>> Audra: No, the man was
broken. He literally gave up and
walked away.
My guess is he crawled back into
whatever ashram he came out of.
If he does rally, I'm ready.
>> Kyle: I will be too.
>> Audra: More common ground.
>> Kyle: Ah. So about those
next steps?
>> Audra: I'll have Legal write
up a contract for you to review.
How quickly can you disentangle
yourself from Jabot?
>> Kyle: I can fast track it.
Just tell me when
you want to get started.
>> Audra: The sooner the better.
>> Kyle: I can handle that.
>> Sally: I have
incorporated the bell sleeve.
Summer.
>> Summer: Sorry, what?
>> Sally: Uh, the restyling of
the sleeve. I think it brings
a lot to the design.
>> Summer: Uh, you know what?
Actually, I just-- I don't think
that that's quite right
for this collection.
>> Chloe: How can you say that?
I think that that's exact--
>> Summer: You think...
You think what?
>> Chloe: I think...
when I think Marchetti, I think
wearable, elegant, modern.
And the bell sleeve can
be incorporated into that style,
but there are
certainly other options.
>> Summer: Good save. And
wearing Marchetti to the
meeting, that's a nice touch.
But Chloe, you really don't
have to suck up to me.
I've considered Sally's
request to rehire you while
Chelsea's away and...
I've made my decision.
>> Tessa: Hi!
>> Mariah: Hi-- Oh.
>> Tessa: I'm trying to
get her to take a nap.
>> Sharon: Okay.
>> Mariah: Okay.
>> Tessa: Maybe Grandma
can take her?
>> Sharon: Yeah, why don't
I stroll her over?
We'll look at the ducks.
Yeah, the duck pond.
>> Mariah: Thank you, Grandma!
>> Tessa: I didn't know Sharon
was going to be here.
I mean, not that I object,
but I would have brought
an extra sandwich.
>> Mariah: Well, it was sort of
a last minute decision.
>> Tessa: Is everything okay?
>> Mariah: I don't know. I--
I went to stop by and she just
seemed out of it, you know?
I knocked on the door,
she didn't answer,
I had to use my key,
and it's like she didn't
hear anything I said to her.
>> Tessa: I mean, Sharon has
been working a lot lately.
Cassidy First
and Crimson Lights,
she's probably just exhausted.
>> Mariah: Yeah, that's what I
said. So, I thought a dose
of sunshine and Aria
would just be the thing.
>> Tessa: Well, it seems to
be working.
>> Diane: After everything you
went through in Paris with
Ashley and Traci, I'm just--
I'm just really sorry
you had to come home to this.
>> Jack: Yeah, so am I.
I understand why you felt
you needed to terminate Kyle.
I just wish we talked about it.
We could have presented
a united front.
Have a discussion,
a constructive discussion on
how to move forward.
And maybe we could have
avoided this whole mess.
>> Diane: Well, maybe I--
maybe I should have waited
and spoken to you first
and I-- I apologize for that,
but Kyle seemed to
feel that your absence
gave him license to be
even more difficult.
And a line had to be drawn.
>> Jack: Yeah,
I understand. I do.
>> Diane: Well, maybe we can
have that united front now.
I mean, we need to look for
a new COO as soon as possible
and I'm sure if we put our
heads together, we can come up
with the perfect person.
>> Jack: I'll give that
some thought.
>> Diane: Yeah. And-- and also,
I know you really don't want to
consider this, but we should
probably look for someone to
fill in for Ashley
while she's gone.
>> Jack: No way.
Ashley's absence is temporary.
>> Diane: Yes, I know.
But without her skill set
and her leadership,
the lab is in a holding pattern.
We can't expect it to run
itself. I mean, we have--
we have new products
in development.
Some are ready to launch.
R&D is stalled.
And that affects our
bottom line.
>> Jack: How do we assure the
quality of our new product
without Ashley's expertise?
This was her-- her idea,
her patents.
She's not easily replaced here.
>> Diane: I agree. It will--
it will be a challenge.
>> Jack: Look, I'm convinced
once she is through treatment,
she's going to come back
stronger than ever.
>> Diane: Well, I'm just
suggesting an interim solution.
Or do you suggest we just freeze
the lab until she's back?
>> Jack: I understand on
a corporate level,
decisions have to be made,
but on a personal level, I hate
that the Abbott family company
has so few Abbots.
First, Ashley, then Billy.
And now, Kyle.
It's just depressing.
>> Diane: I know,
but Allie is still working for
Jabot in the Paris office
and I think she is just as
brilliant as Ashley.
And there is no doubt in my mind
that with some experience,
she could be running
the entire lab herself.
Jack, the future for
Jabot is wide open.
And so is the door,
whenever our family members
are ready to come back.
>> Chloe: I totally understand
if it isn't a good fit to bring
me back.
>> Summer: Chloe.
>> Chloe: I really-- I know
that I was a real pain
when we were working with
each other before.
>> Summer: Chloe!
>> Chloe: But I've been working
on myself and trying to listen
more. Well, I'm doing it again.
>> Summer: Chloe!
>> Chloe: What?
>> Summer: Look, I am willing to
give you a second chance.
>> Chloe: You are?
Wait, you mean it?
Okay, well, this is great!
>> Sally: Thank you so much,
Summer. This really will make
all the difference.
>> Summer: All right, so where
are we at with the winter line?
>> Sally: Uh, we are on track.
I have all the edits with
the changes you requested.
The tailored outerwear,
the soft feminine
one-and-done knit dresses.
>> Chloe: Yeah, and the
off-the-shoulder silhouettes.
I think that maybe if
we add a statement belt,
I think that would be amazing.
>> Summer: Um, I have to get
back to Marchetti, actually, for
a meeting, so let's follow up on
this this afternoon.
>> Sally: Okay, sounds--
Sounds good.
>> Summer: Audra!
>> Audra: Can I help you?
>> Summer: You and Kyle looked
quite friendly for two people
that supposedly hate each other.
What's going on?
>> Kyle: Co-CEOs hugging it out.
Looks like it's
business as usual here.
>> Jack: I hope you've had time
to cool down, maybe reconsider.
>> Kyle: Mm, sorry to
disappoint, Dad. I'm just here
to clean out my office.
>> Diane: Oh, well, there's no
sense drawing this out.
It could be civil, painless.
>> Kyle: Unlike the last
few months working here.
>> Jack: Kyle, we can
solve this.
>> Kyle: Mom already has.
>> Jack: I'm sure your mother
would be willing to reconsider
if you were open to compromise,
if you were willing to
change your attitude.
>> Kyle: My attitude is just
fine and I am comfortable
with the decision.
I mean, who knows, Mom?
Maybe I should thank you.
>> Diane: What's that
supposed to mean?
>> Kyle: You freed me up to
explore other opportunities
and there is one in particular
that may just appreciate
what I bring to the table.
>> Diane: Really?
That almost sounds like you've
already found another job.
>> Tessa: Well, I'm so glad
that you could join us.
Aria definitely seemed thrilled.
>> Sharon: You know,
I just love how she does
that thing with her head.
It's so precious.
>> Mariah: What thing
with her head?
>> Sharon: Oh, you know, when--
Just when she smiles at me,
she does this little head tilt
and Cassie used to do that.
>> Mariah: Really?
>> Sharon: Yeah, well,
especially when she wanted
another cookie or another
story or she wanted
to stay up a little bit later.
She would look up at me and
smile and there was
that little head bob,
and it was impossible to say no.
>> Mariah: Well, you know, you
never really talked about what
my sister was like when
she was little.
I would love to know anything
you could tell me about Cassie.
Mom?
H-- hi, are you all right?
What's going on?
>> Sharon: You've already asked
me that. The answer hasn't
changed. I'm thinking about my
grant project for Cassidy First.
That's all. I'm distracted.
>> Mariah: I am your employee,
so if you need any sort of help,
just put me to work, please.
>> Sharon: No, don't worry about
it, sweetie. I've got this.
In fact,
I better get back to it.
Oh, but, thank you.
You were right.
This is exactly what I needed.
>> Mariah: There really is no
reason to rush off.
>> Sharon: No, I have to get
back to work, but we'll
talk soon, okay?
>> Mariah: Okay.
>> Tessa: Okay.
>> Mariah: Bye.
>> Tessa: Bye.
Okay, that was interesting.
>> Mariah: Right?
Something is definitely off with
my mom.
[ Sharon sighing ]
>> Sharon: What is going on
with me?
Hello, Doctor, this
is Sharon Newman.
Yeah, these new meds
that you gave me,
I think there's something wrong
with them. They're making
me feel so... odd.
>> Diane: Have you been looking?
Was this your plan all along?
>> Kyle: I'll be in my office,
packing up.
[ Diane sighing ]
>> Diane: I wasn't
expecting that.
>> Jack: So, go to him. Talk
to him. There might still be
a way to get around this.
We have to try.
>> Diane: No, no. Kyle might be
right. This might be the best
thing for him.
Maybe he felt too stifled here.
>> Jack: I still think there's
a way to work this out.
>> Diane: Well, as far as our
son is concerned, the only way
to do that is for me to step
down and for him to take my
position. And if you want me to
do that, I will.
>> Jack: That is not
an option.
>> Diane: Is anything Kyle
said true? About me?
I mean, I don't-- I don't want
to be seen as some mercy hire
whose only qualification
was being married to you.
>> Jack: No, no, no.
You have
proved yourself time and again.
I could not be more
impressed with you.
>> Diane: Thank you.
That means more than you know.
Because I feel like
I really belong here.
That I'm just getting started.
And there's so much
ahead for us at Jabot.
And as painful as it is,
maybe-- maybe that's what Kyle
needs. He needs to find a place
where he feels he belongs.
>> Jack: I just wish he felt
he belonged here.
This is his family's company.
>> Audra: You are quite
inquisitive for an ex.
>> Summer: Kyle and I share
a child and I don't trust you,
so yes, I'm curious.
>> Audra: You know, I think most
people will call it nosy.
>> Summer: You didn't answer
the question, Audra.
What's going on between
you and Kyle?
>> Audra: Summer, I still can't
figure out what difference
that would make to you.
Have a nice day.
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
>> Lily: Well, I guess
congratulations are in order.
>> Billy: We won.
>> Jack: It is tearing me apart.
>> Nikki: Talk to me, Jack.
Let me be there for you the way
you have been here for me.
