Michael.
-Hi. -Hey.
Thank you for agreeing
to meet me so quickly.
MICHAEL: Well...
you said it was about Jabot
and you said it was serious.
and given that Jabot
has a major stake in Fenmore's,
uh, Lauren checked in
with corporate.
-She got crickets. -Yeah, well,
here's what's going on.
We made a drastic move to try to save Jabot
from a potential attack from Victor.
And somehow, Victor found out what was going on
when only our tightest inner circle knew our plan.
Well, anyway, not surprisingly,
Victor went for blood
and used our defensive move against us.
Yes, Newman Media's blitz of doomsday headlines
about Jabot--I-I saw them.
Yeah, they were exaggerations, blatant lies, half-truths.
But public perception is everything.
And right now it's killing any chance we have
of turning things around.
And that's why I reached out.
You might be our only hope.
Hey.
Hey, son.
What's the matter?
This is the season for joy.
Well, not for everyone.
Chelsea and I just ran into Jack,
so it's kinda hard to feel the season
when he's going off on us
for the smear campaign against Jabot.
Accused us of ruining Christmas
for all the people who could lose their job
if the company goes under.
Oh, now, that is due to Jack Abbott's stupidity.
Yeah, but we kinda did kick 'em when they're down.
And they're only down
because they're evading your AI attack.
Son, you're gonna have to
make up your mind as to
whose side you're on
in this battle.
I hit him back.
I told him that every word Newman Media posted
was the truth.
Good.
I also gave him an opportunity to tell his side of the story
with an exclusive interview
and expand on the public statement he put out
and clear the record, but he declined.
Of course he declined. [laughs]
His damn company is going down in flames.
Well, that's very interesting you would use those words,
because he wanted me to pass along a message to you.
And what's that?
Jack said he would burn Jabot down to the ground himself
before he let you get your hands on the company
or do any more damage.
Good.
That's exactly where I want him.
You know, I've been thinking that maybe we should--
There you are.
I'm glad you're here.
Join us.
Uh,
Adam, if you don't mind,
I need to speak to Victor alone.
♪♪
So you've come up with a plan
that's gonna bring our family together?
Yes.
Well, you know, staying out of trouble
would go a long way towards accomplishing that.
This is serious.
It's real.
It's gonna change our lives.
You know, if this plan is because
you made a deal with Victor
to help bring down Jack and the Abbotts,
I can't see it bringing our family anything other than hell.
Why can't you support me?
Why can't you just believe in me?
I am doing this for us.
If you really are going after the Abbotts,
what does that mean for Summer? Hmm?
I mean, Marchetti's a part of Jabot.
You blow up Jabot, you blow up your daughter's future.
Do you really think I'd do something like that?
Well, I don't know, I mean, you did fake your own death,
so all bets are off on what you're capable of.
I know. I know!
Trust me, I will apologize for that
for the rest of my life.
Why don't you look at this
as me making it up to you for what I did.
No! Mom--
I know you mean well, but these schemes of yours,
they just never turn out the way that you hope.
All right. I'm not gonna talk to you about this,
all right?
-I-I'm done here. -No, no, no, no, wait, wait.
-Wait, no-- -No, I'm done here.
I'm not trying to upset you.
I do wanna help.
Please just tell me your plan.
Why? So you can talk me out of it? No!
You're gonna hear when everybody else hears.
I can't just let you run outta here
and go and do something crazy, now, can--
-Hey. -Hi.
Hey, Tessa. Perfect timing.
Wow. Why does it feel like it's not perfect?
No, it is perfect. We were just talking about our future,
so, um,
you know, why don't you have a seat?
Since you and Daniel have become such fast friends,
let's talk about your future. Together.
As friends.
[footsteps]
Finally.
Nice to see you too.
Ugh. How the hell do people live with this cold?
I have no idea, but the sooner we can take care of my problem,
the sooner we get back to sunny SoCal.
And make this worth my time?
I'm pretty sure I've already made it worthwhile for you.
I paid you handsomely to double-cross Burrow.
And don't get me wrong. It was worth every penny.
The look on his face when you put a gun on him?
Muah.
Maybe I should raise my ask.
Or maybe just continue to prove that you're worth it.
I do have some information.
Great. Let's hear it.
Noah has Sienna stashed in a suite
at the Genoa City Athletic Club.
Mm. My pretty little sitting duck.
Except for round-the-clock private security,
courtesy of the Newmans.
It won't be easy to get to her.
Yeah. I don't give a damn if it's difficult.
I need you to take care of Sienna.
BOTH: Mmm.
-This is really good. -[laughing]
Glad you like it. You know, BLTs are kind of my specialty
'cause it's actually kind of the only thing that I cook.
[both chuckle]
-You have a... -What?
Here.
-Oh. [laughs] -Yeah.
Please call me back as soon as you get this.
Okay, bye.
Um, have you heard from your dad?
No. Not since this morning.
Well, Victor hasn't heard from him either.
Should I be worried?
Adam, please.
Well, I'm only halfway done with my Christmas shopping, so...
I'll check in with you later.
All right. Now, don't forget
we need to talk about Matt Clark, okay?
I'm on it.
I want that son of a bitch caught ASAP.
-We're gonna get him. -All right.
All right? Nikki.
What about Matt Clark?
Has there been an update? Have you heard something
-from Nicholas or Noah? -No, unfortunately,
I haven't heard anything. Nick has apparently set a trap.
Well, that bastard has to be caught
before he causes more damage.
Well, that's the plan, yeah.
So what do you want to talk to me about, I mean...
that couldn't be said in front of Adam?
Two things.
Jack.
And Jabot.
And your relentless need to destroy them both.
You have no idea how much this sickens me.
Right.
Thank you.
Because you're a decent human being.
Victor has all but ensured the downfall of Jabot,
and I know that you're not okay with that.
-Of course not. -Right.
I also know that you have a certain allegiance to him.
But I'm hoping that you can find it in your heart
and in your sense of right and wrong to help us.
Well, your friendship is very important to me.
Well, I'm counting on that.
Because Jabot will fall if we don't stop Victor.
Look, Michael, I know your loyalty towards him
has limits.
So I really am asking you to be on the right side of this.
I'm squarely on your side. I'm just not sure what I can do.
[sighs] Well, the...
the media attack is just part of Victor's assault against us.
The real weapon is that damn AI program.
And know that he is itching to use it against Jabot,
and you know how massively illegal that is.
He would be crossing a line,
one that maybe even he couldn't come back from
if he were exposed.
So you see, if you join us by trying to save Jabot,
you'll be saving Victor from his worst instincts.
Please say that you'll help us.
I hope you don't mind. We made some sandwiches.
No. It's your home. Of course not.
Um, you know, I can make you a sandwich if you're hungry.
Noah showed me my way around the kitchen.
She makes a killer BLT.
Uh, thank you, but no. I-I'm too tense to eat.
Oh. Okay. Well, you know what? Then I'll just clear these away.
No, don't, please. Relax.
I mean, as much as that's possible.
We finally saw Faith this morning.
My little sister's been a busy girl.
She came in when we went to bed
and she was already gone when we woke up.
So it was nice to catch up with her before she took off again.
She missed you so much.
And she was so worried about everything that happened in LA.
Yeah. Didn't stop her from giving me a hard time
about being away from home for so long.
She's really sweet. And so relieved
to have you back in one piece.
We intend to keep it that way.
I'm glad you and Dad told her how dangerous Matt is.
She's not thrilled to have a security detail
whenever she steps off the property, but she gets it.
Well, it's going to be that way for everyone in this family
until Matt is caught.
And we will get him. In the meantime,
I need to check in on Christian and Mariah too.
I need to see my little niece,
find out what she wants for Christmas.
Well, we will figure all that out, okay?
Gosh. Where could Nick be?
Knowing Dad, he's probably found out
Matt really is in Genoa City, and he's put him in a headlock
and dragged him to the police station already.
I hope to God
Nick didn't try to go up against Matt by himself.
Sorry. That was a bad joke.
No, no. It's okay.
I'm sure your father's fine.
It's just not hearing from him at a time like this
when that maniac is out on the loose--
no one is safe until he's caught.
I don't care what you have to do.
You get Sienna
out of that Athletic Club.
You get her alone, you get her isolated,
and you take care of her.
Newmans aren't gonna know what hit 'em.
You really hate these people, don't you?
Ooh, you have no idea.
I'm finally gonna settle the score, and this time...
the whole damn clan is gonna pay the price.
I have tried to bite my tongue,
hoping that you will come to your senses.
But this, what you have done to Jack--
you have gone too far.
And during the holidays, of all times.
Well, I can't think of a better Christmas present.
How can you be so vicious?
You could have died that night.
-Oh, my God! This again? -Yes!
Jack saved my life that night.
And now you have backed him into a corner.
You know, he took drastic steps to save Jabot from you,
but then you go after him in the media.
Even if Jack is able to make his company whole again,
well, then I guess you can just unleash that AI program
and then that will completely gut the company.
You've made it so that the Abbotts are damned if they do
and damned if they don't, and it has to stop!
Jabot's in trouble because of Jack Abbott's stupidity.
Oh, no, don't you twist this to make it sound like
I don't know what I'm talking about.
I saw Adam's face.
The guilt is eating him alive.
He's doing a job.
That's all.
To destroy a family at Christmas.
Are you proud of yourself?
Let me ask you something.
How do you think we would have felt
had you died that night of debauchery with Jack Abbott
-in the hotel room? -Will you stop that...
-No, don't say stop! -...already?
-You serious? -The point is,
it is beyond cruel for you to go after the Abbotts like this.
They could lose everything. They could lose their company.
All because of that damn program.
And because of you.
And I don't give a damn.
I know that you quit working for Victor
because you couldn't stomach his malevolence.
Yeah. Specifically towards Jack.
-Yes. -Yes.
And I also know that you still have access to him.
Well...I help him out on a few personal family matters.
-Like what? -That's not important.
What's important is Jabot. Nobody wants to see
your family legacy destroyed.
Exactly. And the only way to prevent that
is by getting ahold of that AI program.
Yeah. You don't want much, do you?
Michael, it's the only way. Oh, come on.
[softly] We all know that Victor used Cane's program
against Cane's company, and Arabesque was destroyed.
Jabot is next.
[whispering] That software program is an abomination.
I have tried to change Victor's mind about using it
more than once.
He still trusts you.
-Only so far. -All we need
is proof that he has the actual software.
And then Jack and I can take it from there.
Michael, we can all stop Victor from doing something
that everyone will regret.
Will you help us?
I'll do what I can.
[exhales]
Uh, as much as I appreciate the invitation,
I did just come to talk to Daniel
about Aria's stuffy.
Oh, yeah, that's right. How'd she do?
Was she able to sleep without it?
No. She didn't. Uh, neither of us did.
-But if this is a bad time... -No!
No, no, no, no. It's a great time.
It's really great. Remember Summer and Mr. Ears?
-Remember that? -Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
How is Aria's other mommy?
Have you heard from Mariah? Is she coming home soon?
[ahem] Hey, you know, what's with all the questions?
No, it's fine. Um, I actually
did get some news, and it is not promising.
I just--I feel like such a fool
being so blind to who Mi--
Matt is.
That's part of his skill.
He's a chameleon.
He can be polite, charming.
He's the last person you would expect
to explode with this violence.
Yeah, but it's gotta be so terrifying for you,
having him back in your life.
Yeah. Matt brings nothing but trouble.
When he, uh, pulled the fire alarm
in my hotel in Los Angeles
and then confronted me in my room,
I was terrified, absolutely.
But I am not the same young woman
he took advantage of years ago.
I was afraid for my family.
I'm not afraid of Matt. Not anymore.
Even knowing what he's capable of?
I also know what I'm capable of.
And I know that I'm not going to let him hurt anyone I love.
We almost lost Noah to that bastard
and his twisted mind games.
Matt has terrorized us
so many times.
I am more than ready for whatever he tries next.
We all are. And this will be the last time.
Have I mentioned to you how strong my mom is?
Nobody messes with my family.
Where are you going?
Well, sitting around here waiting for Nick to call
is going to make my head explode,
so I think I'll stop in at the office for a little while
and see if I can get my mind off of all of this.
No, Dad like you leaving the property.
Well, I'll have a security detail.
There's no reason to worry. But if he does call...
-I will call you. -Now, I want you
to stay put.
You have a target on your back, remember.
I don't want you taking any risks.
We won't.
Can you say that like you mean it?
We will be right here when you get back.
Thank you. That wasn't so hard, see?
-Okay. See you later. -Be careful.
Wow. I think she'd love for me to walk out that door
and just not come back.
Well, my mom is pretty protective,
but give her time, okay?
She'll love you as much as I do.
I'm almost convinced.
-Yeah? -Mm-hmm.
So now what?
How 'bout we blow this joint?
-What? No. -Oh, come on.
I can't do this--cooped up...
I mean, what are we waiting for? It's crazy-making.
You just promised your mom.
We don't even know if Matt's in town.
Oh, God, you know, I cannot get used to calling him that.
He's always gonna be Mitch to me.
A monster by either name.
Yeah.
You really think that your dad's plan to catch him's gonna work?
It's pretty genius.
We're checked into several hotels around town.
Matt shows up at any one of those doors,
he'll be greeted by armed security--game over.
Yeah. 'Cause we're gonna be right here.
Unless...
-Uh-uh. No. -Come on.
Okay, if Matt really is in town, I'm not afraid of the guy.
I can handle whatever he can throw at us, okay?
And we'll have a security detail,
if that makes you feel any better.
-Yeah, I don't know. -Come on.
Let's go somewhere.
Let me show you my hometown.
You come at this too hot,
emotion can be a problem.
I do some of my best work fueled by rage.
I don't know.
I think you're setting yourself up
for a hell of a lot of trouble.
These people are smart.
Rich. Connected.
And so arrogant they're never gonna see me coming.
But the risk you're taking...
why not cut your losses and move on?
Because these people have taken everything from me, everything!
I'm not--I'm not--
I've got nothing left to lose, Annie.
I'm not going anywhere.
But you're already wanted by the police.
Wouldn't it be safer and smarter to disappear?
What would that do?
Think about it. My hate wouldn't go away.
My anger wouldn't disappear.
It would all only get worse. Believe me.
There is no way I'm gonna let Nick and Sharon
and that homewrecking son of a bitch son
get away with destroying my life.
Even if you go down for it?
Annie...
are you still on board?
Don't make me regret keeping you around.
Hey, where did you go?
You said you had a way to get proof on Victor,
-and then you took off. -I made an appeal to conscience
to someone who is very close to Victor.
Hope you're not talking about Adam, 'cause he doesn't
-have a conscience. -No.
Well, I already appealed to Nikki.
Oh, and what did she do? Did she wring her hands
and wish there was some way
she could stop her mean old husband, or did she get over it
by taking a spin in the Ferrari he gave her?
-Not fair. -This is getting us nowhere.
No, you're right. Have you heard from Phyllis?
No, not yet. I mean, I told her there's a clock on the offer,
and she hasn't got back to me yet,
-but I'm assuming she will soon. -And I reached out to Summer
in hopes that she'll help us get through to Phyllis.
Sounds like we've covered our bases,
so whose conscience is in your crosshairs?
Michael Baldwin's.
Michael and Victor don't work together anymore.
They had a falling out.
But they've become closer again
and Michael even admitted to taking care of
some personal matters for Victor.
So what did Michael say to you?
-He's horrified. -So did he offer to help us?
I told him we needed proof that Victor has that AI program,
and he told me he'd what he could.
But Michael's clearly still loyal to Victor,
-so do you believe him? -I do.
You realize there are no guarantees.
He may not find the proof or the program even if he wants to.
Jack, I have complete faith that he'll come through for us.
BILLY: Okay, well, if Michael fails,
at least we still have one other option.
Oh! You have news about your wife.
-I'm all ears. -You know what?
I think we should, uh, go get that stuffy.
-Yeah. -Really. You can talk to me.
You can, Tessa. I'm a vault.
Yeah. We're gonna go. Um... you and I, though?
We should definitely circle back about this plan.
We need to meet.
Well, keep digging.
Well, especially find out about the period between
Matt Clark's supposed death
and his resurrection.
We gotta find something to get that son of a bitch.
I'm still waiting to hear back from my sources.
So, uh, where do we stand with Jabot?
Do you know what your next move is yet?
None of your business.
But--
Hello?
Hello!
Damn it.
Sorry for the interruption.
I wonder if Michael and I are in agreement on this.
And what would that be?
[huffs]
The fate of Jabot.
Do you think I give a damn about the fate of Jabot?
It's a sinking ship.
Well, I know who's been firing the torpedoes.
And it has to end.
You need to retract your news report.
You need to make a public apology.
-You serious? -I am.
Dead serious.
And one more thing.
I want you to give me the AI program
so that I can have it destroyed.
Are you out of your mind?
Do you think I will give you the AI program
so that you can play into the hands of Jack Abbott?
I'm on your side, Mitch.
You sure?
I'm playing devil's advocate.
Once we hit go, there's no going back,
so you have to ask yourself,
"Is this vendetta worth the risk?"
Rich boy Newman and Sharon-- they ruined my life years ago.
And their son stole my cheating wife,
and the family patriarch has wiped out my business.
It's worth it.
Annie, you wanna walk, go ahead and walk.
I'm in.
What?
I feel like there's a question.
How do you take down a guy like that?
Well,
all you need...
is the right weapon.
We are down. We are not out. Understood?
-[phone chimes] -We are working every angle.
-There it is. -What?
Phyllis wants to meet.
She must have figured out what she wants from us.
No moral outrage.
No wanting to do the right thing.
Just pure Phyllis-- only in it for herself.
Any idea what her demands might be?
It's Phyllis. You never really know.
Something outrageous, I'm sure.
If it helps us get Jabot back, then I'm willing to listen.
Look, we can't lose it all. Not like this.
No, we can't. And we won't.
Oh, man!
I cannot believe that you ditched security.
Oh, come on, look around. It's totally safe, all right?
There's zero evidence Matt Clark is here or ever will be.
-Yeah. You joke. -Yeah. Let that bastard
try his worst. I'm not afraid of him.
And I'm sure as hell not gonna give up a cup of coffee
just because he might make an appearance.
Yeah? Well, then let's get that cup of coffee, right?
All right.
This is really cute.
Probably be a hit in LA.
Yeah. Forgive me for not suggesting to my mom
to try to expand out there.
Los Angeles didn't make the best impression on my family.
Yeah, well, that's true.
At least she didn't freeze to death.
I'm freezing. We're inside, and I'm freezing.
Well, I know just the thing, okay?
-Yeah? -Yeah.
What do you know? What do you know, huh?
Noah?
[gasps]
Oh, my goodness!
You're back!
Oh! Ooh!
It's great to see you too.
Look at you. Handsome as ever.
And you are just as beautiful as ever.
Okay. That might just get you a Christmas cookie
with your coffee.
[laughter]
Uh, this is my friend Sienna from LA.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Yeah. I've heard.
Okay. Uh, the usual sound good?
-Make it two. -Okay, done.
Go take seats out in the patio,
and I will bring your drinks.
Um, patio? In the dead of winter?
It's enclosed, heated. You'll be fine.
Uh, lead the way.
-Oh. -See? It's not so bad, is it?
-No. It's charming. -Yeah.
But I'm still keeping my coat on.
You forget that I'm born and raised in LA.
This is a whole new experience for me.
Yeah, well, you'll get used to the cold.
Yeah? What makes you think I'm sticking around long enough
to get used to it?
All the free coffee you can drink since I know the owner?
Noah, seriously.
After the threat of Matt is over,
how do you see this?
Well, I...
can't say for sure.
All I know is that I
don't ever want to not be with you.
Noah.
I forgot my tablet.
Noah?
"I took Sienna for a drive.
Don't worry. We'll be safe"?
Damn it, Noah!
Hey.
Oh, thank God you're here!
I texted. I left messages. I was worried. Where were you?
Sorry. I was checking out CCTV footage.
I went out of cell phone range. I didn't mean to worry you.
Well, my mind went straight to Matt,
that you'd run into him and something happened.
Well, I didn't run into him, but I did confirm
that he's here, along with that dirty cop Annie.
This is not good.
Where's Noah and Sienna?
He took her for a drive.
-What? -Yeah.
I told him to stay here. He promised he would.
Why the hell would he do that?
[knocking on door]
Burrow.
Invite a man in from the cold?
Whatever number Phyllis throws out, I'll make sure
to tell her I need to confer with all of us
-before we strike a deal. -Sounds like a plan. Hey.
You okay with this?
Mixed emotions. If Phyllis helps us save Jabot,
we're never gonna hear the end of it.
Ugh. An even more obnoxious Phyllis if that's even possible.
I mean, is it wrong that I hope that Michael or even Nikki
-comes through for us instead? -Jabot is the priority.
Nothing else matters.
I'm gonna head out with you.
-Where are you going? -I'm gonna go by the office,
check how damage control is going.
Oh, well, good luck. Both of you.
Hey...
we've got this.
You bet we've got this.
What a nightmare.
Despite everything,
the rest of the world is singing carols
and wrapping presents,
and we're trying to ward off the end of the Abbott world
as we know it.
I hope we win this, Kyle.
-We have to. -So have you heard from Claire
since you told her that her grandfather
is trying to destroy Jabot again?
I have not.
Oh, well, like you said,
things are kind of complicated between the two of you.
Claire's first instinct is still to defend her grandfather.
I don't think she's ready to believe the truth
-about the old man yet. -If ever.
But I think it was a good idea that you didn't ask her
to intervene with him on our behalf.
We've taken a few small steps toward getting back together.
I don't wanna push.
Claire's loyalty to her family is...
understandable.
But if she blindly believes
everything that Victor tells her
and defends him and...
constantly chooses him over you...
then what kind of a relationship is that?
We owe you so much.
Noah and Sienna were able to get away from Matt
-because of you. -It was your son
who saw the opportunity to bolt.
Then Annie turned her gun on you.
Yeah. I'm just glad they escaped.
We're glad you got away from Annie.
Yeah, I...
just wish she didn't get away from me.
You know, the investigation is still on,
the way Matt and my partner Annie played me,
the threat they pose to your family.
I wanna bring this guy down.
Well, you've come to the right place.
-They're in town. -You've seen them?
Got 'em on camera, but they could be anywhere.
Noah and Sienna are out there.
I'ma try 'em again.
Gosh.
You know, everything is so charming in this town,
you know?
Right down to the Christmas tree
that Esther etched into the foam of my coffee.
She is an artist.
Yeah, though maybe not a fan of mine.
Yet.
-[Sienna chuckles] -[phone chimes]
Oh, this is not a surprise.
Hey, Dad.
What are you doing?
-Drinking coffee. -Hey.
Don't be a smartass.
I told you not to leave this ranch alone.
I'm not alone. I'm with Sienna.
You promised your mother.
I can take care of myself. I'm not afraid of Matt.
Noah, listen to me. Do not try and play the hero.
We're fine, Dad. Okay?
We'll be home soon.
Your parents are really worried about you, huh?
-Ah, too much. -Hey.
You know, it might tick you off, but it's actually...
-it's very nice. -Yeah.
Well, you know what's really nice?
Is being here with you.
See? Isn't this better than being cooped up
-in my mom's house? -Yeah. As long as
I don't get frostbite.
[both laugh]
Why don't you show me the sights and everything
to keep my mind off of being so cold?
-Okay. All right. -Yeah?
See right over there
-is Crimson Lights. -Yes.
Okay? And then, uh...
see that big property with the gates?
That's the Abbott house. Owner of Jabot Cosmetics.
-Ah. -And then...
way over there is Newman Enterprises.
Wow.
You've been here a long time, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, the Newmans are...
pretty much woven into the fabric of Genoa City.
Yeah, to be so settled...
to be part of something, huh?
Not your experience?
Yeah, not really.
I am not playing into anyone's hands.
It's my demand and my decision.
I've heard your demand loud and clear.
Then answer me.
And if I don't give you what you want?
If you don't give me
the AI program and end this war immediately...
...I will leave you.
-Hello. -Man of the hour.
-That was fast. -Mm-hmm.
'Cause I know what I want.
Okay, great. What's your price?
-I don't want money. -You don't want money?
I don't want money. I don't want anything for myself.
Since when, Phyllis?
Okay, uh, well, this conversation is over.
-All right? -No. Please. Talk to me.
What is it?
I want you to sign over Marchetti to my daughter.
Give it to my daughter free and clear.
I want her to have the company
that she has poured her heart and soul into.
You wanna sign over the entire company?
Yes.
I want my daughter to have Marchetti,
and that's the price if you want me to stop Victor.
You'd leave me...
after all these years?
After everything you and I have been through...
because of your misplaced loyalty to Jack Abbott?
Without looking back.
Jack Abbott destroyed Jabot. Not me.
No more lies, Victor.
So you believe him over me?
Prove me wrong.
Now, you have known me well enough
all these years
to know that I don't take kindly to threats...
not even from you!
You want out? There's the door!
Get out!
You busting Matt on the trafficking charge
may be our best chance to get him behind bars.
Not to mention kidnapping, attempted murder,
several times, and a dozen other charges.
My security team will give you whatever backup you need.
I appreciate that.
And don't worry. We're gonna bring this guy down.
Me and the team have set traps all over town.
With any luck, Matt will walk right into one of them.
Wow.
All these trees.
It's so...peaceful
and beautiful.
Yeah. Beautiful.
[Annie yells] Uhh!
Let's take a walk.
SHARON: Next week on "The Young and the Restless."
Matt can't just kidnap Sienna and sneak out of town.
-He doesn't have any resources. -What if Matt didn't take her?
What if Sienna went with him willingly?
Not this again. Why do you keep assuming the worst of her?
What's more of a threat?
An invasive AI program
set to decimate the companies of our nearest and dearest...
...or a double-crossed Victor Newman?
I got it. Merry Christmas, Dad.
