[ phone ringing ]
>> Lily: Oh, my God.
What do you want, Billy?
>> Billy: I was hoping
we could talk.
Do you have time to meet me?
>> Lily: Well, that depends.
>> Billy: On?
>> Lily: Are you still
running Chancellor?
>> Billy: I am.
>> Lily: Then,
we have nothing to talk about.
Goodbye.
>> Billy: Lily, wait.
Don't hang up.
One drink.
That's all I'm asking.
Just meet me for one drink.
I'm at the Athletic Club.
I promise you,
you won't be sorry.
>> Nate: Please, come in.
>> Amy: Thank you.
>> Nate: Uh, thank you
for coming by,
but you really didn't have
to, uh, rush over tonight.
This could have waited
'til the morning.
>> Amy: Maybe you could have
waited, but I couldn't.
I was too anxious.
When you called, I hope
you meant that
you made up your mind?
I mean, have you decided?
Are you going to help me
find my son?
Your brother?
♪♪♪
>> Alan: Hey, Traci.
I'm already here.
>> Traci: Oh, my goodness.
>> Alan: I got us a table
and I ordered you a coffee
and desserts.
>> Traci: You beat me here.
You're so fast.
>> Alan: Well, you should have
taken me up on the offer
to give you a ride here.
>> Traci: No, because then you
would have had-- Thank you.
You would have had to drive me
all the way back to my car,
so that I could drive all
the way home.
And then you would have had
to driven back to the club.
>> Alan: That's a good point.
>> Traci: Yeah. So, what in
the world are we doing here?
This seems kind of silly, Alan.
We're with each other
all the time.
Why don't you just
move in already?
Un-- unless
you're having second thoughts?
>> Summer: I can't believe
we're actually
burying Heather tomorrow.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
I'm glad we talked Daniel
into doing something small.
>> Summer: And I'm actually glad
that Lucy is going to
be with Danny instead.
I think that Daniel
made the right call.
It would have been horrible for
her to see her dad be arrested.
>> Phyllis: Oh.
>> Summer: And to hear about
the evidence.
>> Phyllis: Yeah. She didn't
need to see that.
>> Summer: But it is going to be
really hard on Daniel,
not having her and Danny here.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, but you know,
we're going to do
something later.
You know, when the tour's over
and Danny and Lucy can be here.
We're going to do
something very special to
honor her as a family.
>> Summer: Hopefully,
by that point, this whole
nightmare will be over
and the person who actually
murdered Heather will be
locked away for good.
>> Phyllis: That is the plan.
>> Summer: Okay, but with Lucy
and Danny not being here,
you and I really need to be
there for Daniel
at Heather's memorial.
>> Phyllis: The only
silver lining here
is this is the greatest place to
set the trap for Sharon.
>> Nate: I'm sorry, but I still
haven't made up my mind.
I want to learn more about
my, um, alleged half-brother
before I decide.
>> Amy: Does that mean that
you still have doubts
about what I told you?
>> Nate: It's a lot to take in.
I'm still trying to wrap
my head around all of this.
>> Amy: Okay, well, I am going
to take your interest in
Damian as a positive sign.
What can I tell you
about my son?
>> Nate: I'm trying
to understand the situation
you described.
>> Amy: Okay.
>> Nate: What's he like?
How is it he could have just
abandoned his mother like that,
leaving you to turn
to a stranger for help?
>> Amy: I guess, technically,
you are a stranger, but, uh...
I feel like I know you.
>> Nate: How can you?
We've only recently met.
>> Amy: Maybe because I see
so much of your father in you,
that plus all the research
I've done on you.
And in our brief interactions,
I-- I sense--
No,
I know that you're a good man.
So is Damian, deep down.
>> Nate: Deep down?
What does that mean?
He's not so good on the surface?
>> Amy: Damian is a complex man.
>> Nate: Please, tell me.
I want to hear it all.
>> Alan: Traci, I am not having
second thoughts about spending
as much time as I can
with you.
>> Traci: Then, why does it seem
like you're stalling?
Just a few weeks ago,
you seemed on board to move in.
>> Alan: Well, I-- I was.
>> Traci: Look, I didn't want
to push you at first because
I thought maybe
you needed your space,
but we're together
all the time.
>> Alan: It's true.
I am spending a lot of money for
a suite I rarely see.
>> Traci: So, um,
I promise no pressure,
but all this back and forth
seems really unnecessary.
>> Alan: Well, Traci, I mean,
honestly, it's your family
I'm concerned about.
I'm just worried about
how they're going to feel
with me moving in.
And now, Ashley is coming home
soon too and I'm--
I'm worried she's going
to see me and it's going
to remind her of all
the horrible things my brother,
Martin, did to her.
>> Traci: Okay.
I can see that you are concerned
for my sister because
you are just that thoughtful.
Thank you for considering her.
Thank you,
but please don't worry.
I've talked to Ashley,
and she assures me that she's
looking forward to seeing you.
>> Alan: Well, I'm looking
forward to seeing her, too.
And the doctors are
thrilled with her progress,
which is all the more reason why
I'm worried that seeing me
might trigger some kind
of setback.
>> Traci: Well, according
to Ashley,
she is happy for us.
And so is the rest of my family.
Now, I know they can be
a little bit overwhelming,
but there's one factor
that you seem to forget.
They love me, and they're
happy that I am so happy.
And they know
it's because of you.
>> Alan: That goes both ways.
>> Traci: And it's my house too.
>> Alan: Of course.
>> Traci: Alan, I--
I have waited
a long time to find you.
I have waited a long time
to be this happy and I--
Honestly, now that I have,
now that I am, I don't want to
miss another second.
This feels like the next
natural progression for us.
But if you don't agree,
I just--
I just need for you to tell me.
Just be honest.
>> Alan: Well, honestly...
in that case,
I guess I need the key.
Come here.
>> Lily: Okay, Billy,
what's so urgent?
>> Billy: I took the liberty of
ordering your favorite wine.
As a peace offering.
>> Lily: You know,
you can skip the phony charm.
It just makes me more
suspicious of your motives.
>> Billy: There's no need
for that.
How have you been?
>> Lily: Okay, what do you want?
Do you need my help cleaning up
some new mess that
you made at Chancellor?
>> Billy: No new messes, Lily.
But I do need you back.
>> Lily: Hm.
>> Billy: The company
needs you back.
Everyone misses you.
>> Lily: Yeah, I miss them, too.
I mean, I basically
handpicked the entire team,
if they're even still there.
>> Billy: Look, I hate
how things have devolved
between us, okay?
And I asked you here
hoping to clear the air.
>> Lily: Clear the air?
Oh, my God.
Do you think that I don't
know what's going on?
That the only reason why
you're sucking up to me
is because Jill forced you to?
>> Amy: Um...
Damian was always a quiet boy.
All through his, um, early
teens, he was studious and
a bit of a loner.
His father was really
his best friend.
Very close.
Jackson died when Damian was 16.
And it was a terrible blow
for a young man
on the verge of manhood.
>> Nate: I can imagine.
I was, uh, much younger
when I lost my father.
But the loss definitely left
a scar, even at that young age.
>> Amy: Your father
was a good man.
I know he would have
been very proud of you.
>> Nate: Fortunately, I had
some strong men in my life who
stepped in
and filled the void.
>> Amy: Sorry to say, that was
not the case for Damian.
And I doubt anyone could have
filled Jackson's shoes with him.
His death
just changed everything.
>> Nate: In what ways,
specifically?
[ Amy sighing ]
>> Amy: My son was
a good student until then,
you know?
But all of a sudden,
he just lost interest in school.
I mean, he wanted to
be a doctor, like his dad.
Jackson died and he just lost
all interest in following
in his father's footsteps.
>> Nate: Was it too
painful for him?
>> Amy: I suppose.
It's hard to say.
It's like nothing seemed
to matter to him anymore.
>> Nate: And there was no way
to get through to him?
>> Amy: God knows I tried.
But things just kept
growing more and more
distant between us.
It was almost as if he blamed me
somehow for his father's death.
And then it just got
to the point of every
conversation was an argument.
And after one particularly
bad one, he just...
took off.
And I have not seen him
again in several years.
>> Nate: So, no phone call
or email?
>> Amy: Not until one day,
he showed up.
After that, every now and
then, he would come around
when he needed money.
I eventually had to tell him
that I could not support him
like that.
>> Nate: That must have been
hard for you.
>> Amy: The hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
I sat him down
and I told him, I don't know how
or where you have been living,
but you have got to get
yourself together.
You gotta find a job.
You gotta find purpose.
Oh, I gave him the whole speech.
I reminded him that he was
a smart man and that it wasn't
too late to go back to college
to fulfill his dream
of becoming a doctor.
>> Nate: I'm assuming your words
didn't get very far.
>> Amy: We had a terrible fight.
Then, he took off again.
He was so furious at me.
>> Nate: And you haven't heard
from him since?
>> Amy: Nothing in all
these years.
>> Nate: I'm sorry, um...
That is a hell of a thing
to live with.
>> Amy: Can you see now
why I'm so desperate
to make peace with him
before it's too late?
>> Nate: I can.
I just don't think I'm
the right person to find him.
>> Billy: I will admit,
there has been some pressure.
>> Lily: Some?
>> Billy: I think I needed that
pressure in order to
realize something.
>> Lily: Oh, what's that?
>> Billy: I've been a jerk.
And here I am, hat in hand,
asking you for forgiveness
and for a chance to fix things.
>> Lily: Sorry, you're gonna
have to be a bit more specific.
What are you asking me?
>> Billy: I'm asking you
to come back
to Abbott-Chancellor.
On your terms, of course.
>> Phyllis: Of course, I know
how difficult it'll be tomorrow
for Daniel.
That's why I'm doing this.
But don't you know,
it'll be like
a huge weight lifted from his
shoulders when Sharon finally,
finally admits what she did.
You know, and then Daniel
will be exonerated, and then
he can really start the grieving
process for Heather.
Without that cloud of
suspicion hanging over his head.
>> Summer: You know that I want
to help Daniel find
the real killer
just as much as you do.
>> Phyllis: Okay, so we agree,
we agree.
>> Summer: I'm just not
convinced that Sharon is guilty.
>> Phyllis: Well, you wait 'til
tomorrow and you'll see.
>> Summer: What makes you think
she's even gonna show up
tomorrow after all
the accusations you've
already thrown at her?
>> Phyllis: Seriously, you don't
think that holier-than-thou
Sharon will use
this opportunity to show
that she's the real victim
and she's the real
person hurting?
I mean,
if only to show everybody that
she's suffering the most.
>> Summer: I don't know, Mom.
I wouldn't count on it.
>> Phyllis: Well, I will.
You wait 'til tomorrow.
She'll be there.
And I'll be waiting...
to give her
a real reason to suffer.
>> Amy: I know
this is a big ask,
but please, before you say no,
can you just give it
a little more time?
I mean, you don't have to make
a final decision right away.
>> Nate: As much as I feel for
what you're going through,
I just don't think I'm the right
person to find your son.
[ Amy sighing ]
>> Amy: I disagree.
>> Nate: There are professionals
out there whose job it is to
track down missing persons.
They'll do a much better job
than I ever could.
And once Damian's found,
I'll consider getting
to know him.
But to do it now while
suddenly springing it on him
that I'm his brother?
Seems rash,
and frankly, a bit reckless.
>> Amy: I'm running out of time.
And I want my son to know
the truth before I go.
>> Nate: I understand.
But this is a major revelation.
You can't just drop all of this
on him out of the blue.
Listen, ever since you told me
I have a half-brother out there,
I haven't been able to think of
much else.
And if Damian is already
struggling and going through
a difficult time,
something like this
could do a lot of damage.
>> Amy: But it could also help
to know that he is not
alone in this world.
>> Nate: And it's not just
the part about me.
What happens when he finds out
that the man he grew up
idolizing isn't actually
his biological father?
>> Amy: So, what are you saying?
That it's too hard,
that he should know nothing?
>> Nate: If his whole world
took a turn for the worse
when he learned his father died,
how do you think
he's gonna handle finding out
that man wasn't even
his father to begin with?
[ Amy sighing ]
>> Amy: I was planning
to tell him.
I mean, so many times
I came close to telling Jackson,
but I just-- I couldn't
bring myself to do it. I mean,
the two of them
loved each other so much.
I couldn't break their hearts
that way.
>> Nate: Quite a dilemma.
>> Amy: And now, I'm here at
the end of my life with
little time to make it right.
I know there's a risk,
and I don't know how
he's going to take it,
but what I do know, the only way
he is going to make a family
connection after I'm gone is
if he knows the truth.
>> Nate: Regardless of
the consequences.
>> Amy: I can't leave this earth
knowing that my son
is all alone
in this world
and no one cares for him.
I owe it to him.
I owe it to Jackson
and to Nathan.
And ultimately, to myself.
It's way past time.
>> Nate: I agree.
But you don't need me
to find your son to finally
tell him the truth.
>> Amy: As much as I'd like
to do this on my own,
the reality is
I simply do not have
the financial resources
to hire a detective.
[ Nate exhaling ]
>> Nate: And that's why
you came to see me?
>> Amy: I thought that
if you learned that you had
a brother out there, someone...
you never got the chance
to meet and to know,
you'd be compelled to
take the search on yourself.
[ Nate sighing ]
So, what do you think?
>> Nate: Is that it?
Is that what this whole thing
has been about?
Family?
Or is this all one big scam?
>> Summer: You're going to make
Sharon suffer?
Stop for a second
and consider this.
Consider your history
with Sharon.
Your plan,
it's going to backfire.
>> Phyllis: Uh, you're wrong.
My history
is why I'm doing this.
I know Sharon
better than anyone.
Seriously.
I know exactly how she's going
to react when her back is
up against the wall.
>> Summer: Okay, I just need you
to stop trying
to play amateur detective.
Just stop.
Whatever you believe happened to
Heather, her service, it's not
the place to try to prove it.
>> Phyllis: It's where Sharon's
going to be the most vulnerable.
Trust me,
it's exactly the place.
>> Summer: Okay, look.
I get it.
I thought the same thing
when I tried to do this
exact thing with Diane.
And you know what?
I regret it because
I ruined the service and
the whole-- whole purpose of it.
It's to remember a loved one
and grieve their loss.
Besides, we cannot do anything
that's going to get in the way
of Christine's defense plan.
>> Phyllis: Oh,
Christine's defense?
She doesn't have a defense.
It's pointing fingers at
a bunch of randoms instead
of the actual killer.
>> Summer: Like it or not,
Christine is the attorney
that Daniel chose.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, I don't
like it, so there's that.
>> Summer: She's the
professional, Mom.
>> Phyllis: Alleged
professional.
>> Summer: She is actually good
at her job, okay?
So, we just need to trust that
she is going to get these
charges against Daniel dropped.
>> Phyllis: Yeah,
but see, I don't trust her.
That's the problem.
So, I have to devise my own--
>> Summer: Mom, no!
I'm not going to let you
mess this up and
make things even worse.
>> Phyllis: Isn't it possible
that the plan that I come up
with is the key
to finding the right killer?
[ Summer exhaling ]
>> Summer: Sure,
anything is possible--
>> Phyllis: Okay, good.
That's all I need.
>> Summer: But I just don't
that you're--
>> Phyllis: That's all I need
to hear.
Anything is possible, okay?
I just don't think that you
believe that I could do it.
>> Lily: Okay, so you want
me back at Chancellor
on my terms.
So, then I'm going to be CEO.
You'll take a lower position,
right?
>> Billy: I wouldn't go
that far.
Co-CEO is on the table.
>> Lily: Um, how is that
going to work?
Isn't that Phyllis' job?
>> Billy: Phyllis' position was
COO before she was dismissed.
>> Lily: Dismissed? Really?
Okay, was that your idea or
did your mom make you do it?
>> Billy: Doesn't matter.
All that matters is that
Phyllis no longer works
at Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Lily: Yeah, Billy,
you're right. It doesn't matter
because there is no way I will
ever work with you again.
>> Billy: Lily, think about it.
>> Lily: Why would I think
about it?
I know that you're making this
offer against your will.
You fired me.
You called me a liability.
You basically threw
my past in my face.
>> Billy: Look, you have a right
to be upset, okay?
But so do I.
I mean, you admitted to
plotting against me.
>> Lily: See, and that's
your answer.
That right there.
That is why I'm not going to
work with you again.
I'm not going to do it.
>> Billy: Listen to me.
Yes, my mother gave me
an ultimatum, which is why I'm
fighting with everything I have
to protect Abbott-Chancellor,
but I'm not asking you back
to please my mother.
>> Lily: What other reason
is there?
>> Billy: This is not easy
to admit,
but I made a mistake
when I fired you, even though
you blatantly stabbed me
in the back.
I should have seen it coming
because you were honest
from day one when you said that
you thought I was a liability
at that company,
so shouldn't be surprised
when you wanted to make moves
in order to protect the company
and I let my ego get in the way.
So now, I'm asking you
to remember how great
we were together
and all the amazing things
we were going to do.
>> Lily: How could I ever
trust you again?
I mean, how are you
going to trust me again?
>> Billy: We're going to put
Abbott-Chancellor first.
That's how we're going to do it.
And I respect what you
put into this company. I know
that you were fully committed.
>> Lily: Yeah, I was.
>> Billy: And I know you want
to come back.
And this is the best way
to do it.
And I want you back.
So, it's a win-win for
both of us.
But most importantly, it is
a win for Abbott-Chancellor.
And this is the best shot
we have to save and
protect the company that
we both care about so deeply.
>> Phyllis: Uh,
I'm sorry, Billy.
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt.
Uh, can I talk to you privately,
please?
>> Lily: Oh, okay.
I thought you two weren't
colleagues anymore.
>> Phyllis: Oh, boy.
News travels fast.
Um, I just need to talk to you
just for a minute.
Does that work?
>> Billy: No, it doesn't work.
I'm having a conversation with
Lily, if you don't mind, please.
>> Lily: Actually, no,
it's okay.
It's okay. He's all yours.
I'm good.
>> Billy: Lily, I have a few
more points that I would
like to make.
>> Lily: No, you know,
I think I've heard enough.
So, excuse me.
>> Billy: What are you doing?
What are you doing
interrupting an important
meeting that I'm having?
>> Phyllis: I overheard you
begging Lily to come back to
Abbott-Chancellor after
she stabbed you in the back.
You fired me
and I had your back.
I mean, I'm beginning to
think that everybody in town
is right about you. You don't
know what you're doing.
>> Billy: I'm doing what I need
to do to protect
my company, okay?
And you need to accept that.
>> Phyllis: You offered her
my position.
I mean, you said that my firing
was only temporary just so
you could appease your mom.
>> Billy: Phyllis,
we had an agreement.
You were going to step away
in order to take care of Daniel,
okay?
That's what you need to do.
That's what you need
to focus on.
>> Phyllis: No, I don't.
I-- I know what I'm doing.
I can focus on many,
many things.
>> Billy: Phyllis, stop.
You need to do
what's most important and that
is taking care of your family.
And I'm going to do what's
important to me, and that
is protecting Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Amy: A scam?
Is that what you think?
>> Nate: Look, it's not like
I think you're faking
your identity or anything,
but I do have to wonder
if you're trying to play me.
>> Amy: Play you how?
>> Nate: Maybe you never really
wanted me to find your son.
If there even is
a long-lost son.
Or maybe you hoped I'd be
so overwhelmed by your story
that I'd just
give you the money so you can go
hire someone yourself.
>> Amy: I can understand why
you'd be suspicious.
Me showing up
after all these years.
That's why I brought proof.
Inside is...
Damian's birth certificate,
social security card,
and some old photos
are in there as well.
All proof that Damian
is a real person
and not some figment of
my imagination in a scheme
to take your money.
Oh, and I also have, um...
a lock of Damian's hair
so you can have the DNA tested.
Proof positive that...
you're related.
>> Nate: Um...
are you sure
you want to give me these?
These must be
treasured mementos.
>> Amy: When you know
your time is limited,
it becomes easier to let go of
things you've held so close.
Besides, gaining your trust
and your help
is my only chance
to see my son again.
>> Nate: Why didn't you give me
these items right away?
>> Amy: I needed to see
your response first. I mean,
you might not have cared
about a half-brother
that you've never met.
>> Nate: That would have been
pretty heartless of me.
>> Amy: And I wanted you
to get to know a little bit
about me, too.
If I'd have thrown all this
at you at once before
giving you a chance to
absorb the whole story,
that would have been even more
suspicious, don't you think?
>> Nate: I guess I can see
the logic in that.
>> Amy: Good.
Seeing the logic is one thing.
The real question is,
do you believe me?
>> Traci: So, there is this
lovely empty room right next to
mine with a very big closet,
enough room for all
of your things.
>> Alan: Excellent.
And from what you've told me
about the winters in Wisconsin,
I think I'm gonna have to buy
some more warm clothes
and I get the feeling
there's no more room
in your closet.
>> Traci: Oh, no room.
No.
Oh, Billy!
>> Alan: Oh, hi.
>> Traci: Billy, pull up a chair
and join us. Hi, honey.
>> Billy: Thank you.
>> Alan: Good to see you, man.
>> Billy: Good to see you.
>> Traci: Is everything okay?
>> Billy: Uh...
I'd rather hear what
you two are giggling about.
>> Traci: Okay.
Well, we actually have some
really exciting news.
>> Billy: What is that?
>> Traci: Alan is going to be
moving into the house.
>> Billy: Wow.
Well, that's-- that's great.
Congratulations to you two.
>> Alan: Thank you.
I know you had some concerns
about how a long-distance
relationship would work with us.
>> Billy: Well, it sounds like
you got it figured out.
If my sister's happy,
then I am happy.
>> Traci: There, you see?
>> Billy: Speaking of sisters,
what's going on with Ash?
Any word there?
>> Traci: Oh, yeah, good news
there, too.
Jack is in Paris with her
right now.
>> Alan: Yeah, she's been
discharged from the hospital
and I spoke with the doctors
and they feel she's turned
a corner and is looking forward
to a very bright future.
>> Traci: Isn't that great?
>> Billy: So, does that mean
she'll be back for the wedding?
Well, at least I can look
forward to that part.
>> Traci: Well, why do I get
the feeling you're
not excited about this wedding?
>> Phyllis: One more for
the road, please,
Mr. Bartender.
>> Bartender: Sure thing.
>> Phyllis: I bet you were
wondering why a hot,
fabulous woman like myself is
sitting here alone at the bar.
>> Bartender: Hm. I assumed
your date was late.
>> Phyllis: Ah,
that wouldn't even bother me.
The insult that landed me here
is much, much more offensive,
and I don't offend easily.
I'm tough.
I've been to hell and back.
I lived to talk about it.
I am tough.
But even
the toughest of women
hit their breaking point...
and tonight, I have hit mine.
>> Billy: Look, I am happy
for Abby, okay?
She deserves all the joy in
the world.
You know, she loves Devon,
and that's great, but I am not
a card-carrying member
of his fan club.
>> Traci: Oh, this has something
to do with the splitting up
of the companies.
>> Billy: Bingo.
>> Traci: Yeah, okay.
I knew that Chancellor-Winters
was demerging,
but I thought it was amicable?
I thought all the parties
had agreed?
>> Billy: Well, I thought so,
too, until Devon started
to convince Lily
to make moves against
Abbott-Chancellor.
Moves that I'm still
suffering from.
I mean, I'm doing everything
I can to keep my head
above water.
>> Traci: I'm so sorry.
You know, I'm kind of surprised.
This doesn't sound anything
like Devon and Lily.
>> Billy: You know what sucks
too, is that if I fail,
the world is gonna see it
as another massive
Billy Abbott screw-up.
I'm assuming that you don't know
about my illustrious reputation.
>> Alan: I'm starting to get
a sense of it from you.
>> Billy: Yeah, well, believe
me, man, I wish this bad rap
was not hanging over my head.
>> Traci: You know, there is
one solution.
>> Billy: Hm?
>> Traci: Just don't fail.
>> Billy: Oh, you know, sister,
I don't have a choice.
I can't fail.
>> Nate: Thank you, uh,
for bringing me these things.
I'll treat them with care,
I promise.
And, um...
I'll look them over tonight
and make a decision.
>> Amy: Take whatever time
that you need. Um...
I've been staying busy,
enjoying my time in Genoa City.
Being here has brought back
so many memories.
>> Nate: Good memories, I hope.
>> Amy: Walking the streets
reminds me of the times
with your father.
We were a good team when
we worked together.
>> Nate: Sounds like
you're missing him.
>> Amy: Maybe more than
I realize. Uh...
I think I'm going to
actually get in touch with
a few long-forgotten friends
while I wait.
>> Nate: I'm sure they'd love
to hear from you.
>> Amy: Thank you again, Nate.
I appreciate you even
considering everything I asked.
>> Nate: And I appreciate
your son's future is
important to you.
>> Amy: I just want you to know,
Damian is not a bad person.
He's just lost.
He's been thrown by
the loss of the only father
that he's ever known.
>> Alan: Why don't I let you two
discuss family business and
I'll just step off and
make a few phone calls, huh?
>> Billy: No. No, no, no,
don't do that.
You're going to be a member
of the Abbott household,
you should be prepared for
the ups and downs that will come
when you are living there.
And you should be aware of what
you're getting yourself into.
>> Alan: Hm.
>> Traci: Come on,
Billy, it's not that bad.
>> Billy: Well.
>> Traci: Although,
I do wish you wouldn't
give so much credence to
what other people say
and think about you.
You've got to find a way to
believe in yourself.
>> Billy: Oh, I do.
Traci, I do.
It's everyone else that's having
a hard time getting on
board with that and they
are coming at me from
every angle.
My mother, Victor, Lily.
I mean, the press.
Chance walked out on me.
>> Traci: You cannot let those
people steal your dreams.
If you believe in yourself as
much as you say you do, you're
going to have to turn around
and fight.
You're going to have
to prove to those people
they're wrong about you.
>> Billy: I'm trying.
I am trying to find the balance
and not lose hold of this thing
that I have been working so
hard to hold on to.
>> Traci: I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea you were
battling all this.
>> Billy: Oh, don't, don't.
I shouldn't even bring it up.
I mean, you two are happy.
You don't need to be
worrying about me.
>> Traci: I'm your sister.
Billy,
I want to be there for you.
>> Billy: And I appreciate that,
I do.
I refuse to lose.
I'm going to battle every
enemy that comes my way.
Even if that includes my mother.
Because I'm done.
I can't do it anymore.
The gloves are coming off.
>> Phyllis: You know when work,
uh, can be a godsend
when things are bad?
When things are bad,
work gives you something
to focus on.
Right now, I am being screwed
over when I need real stability
in my life right now.
And I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking,
"You could get another job."
Yeah, I mean, yeah, and I could.
I know, I can get a great job.
[ Phyllis sighing ]
I'm on a mission.
I'm on a mission right now.
This is the greatest
mission of my life.
>> Bartender: Sounds like
a big deal.
>> Phyllis: It is a big deal.
It's life-altering.
And I don't care what anybody
thinks of me right now.
I don't care.
I'm not giving up.
I don't care what my kids think
or what my best friends--
I don't even have any friends.
I don't care what anyone
thinks right now.
I don't need anybody right now.
I don't need anyone's help.
I don't need anyone's guidance.
I don't need anyone's opinion.
When it comes
to saving my son's life,
this is a fight
that I will not lose.
I will not lose this fight.
I'm proving everyone wrong.
I have a plan.
