KYLE: No. No, no, no, no. I am aware.
This meeting has been
on the books for weeks.
It is crucial to next season's
Jabot cl--
Okay. Yeah. Please let me know
if you hear anything. Thanks.
Is there a problem?
Yeah. I'm officially worried about Mom.
This silence from you
feels wrong and dangerous.
Please let me know you're okay.
I can't help but worry.
Hey, Nick, um...
I just...
hey, I wanted to hear your voice, that's all.
That's, um...
We--we should talk. We have to talk.
We have to talk about a lot of things.
Um, call me back, please.
What did you do with Matt, Phyllis?
He's not answering my calls
and he wouldn't go silent on me,
not after we've gotten so close.
Um, you are not right now
all up in my face going off, are you?
You're insane, but you're not stupid.
And you're not close to Matt.
You're not close to anybody in this town.
You're nothing to everyone.
[laughs] How cruel and shameless are you?
Exploiting a man with no memory
and using him for your own gain.
Y-you are stupid. You are stupid.
Right now you need to just stop talking.
Uh, did you watch the police cuff him,
you know, take him away, or did you just
hand him over to the Newmans,
watch them tear him limb from limb?
Oh, Nicholas.
Don't look so worried.
Oh, shut up. Don't tell me
what to do.
Looks like he's all in
one piece.
Ha. Yeah, give or take.
Yeah, but it's the same thing happening all over again,
though, the hospital letting Dad go too soon.
This is where he belongs.
Noah, you heard the doctors.
They stabilized your dad. They observed him overnight.
That's all they can do.
I think Daddy's right.
It's better that you stay right here
where we can keep an eye on you.
I heard, uh, you two stopped by to see me last night.
Sorry I didn't wake up.
Well, we like you quiet better anyway.
I have one thing that I wanna say.
What the hell were you thinking?
♪♪
Okay, slow down. Tell me what's happening.
Mom hasn't been to the office in two days.
And she's not just working from the Club or somewhere else.
So far there have been no emails, no meetings.
No updates.
You don't look surprised.
Your mother feels things very deeply, Kyle.
That appears to include betrayal.
So now she's not answering my calls?
Dad, there's no reason for her to shut down on me.
Maybe it's because you've taken a neutral stance
in your parents' war. You are Switzerland right now.
She skipped out on an online meeting with a French designer
that she reached out to.
I wasn't supposed to be in that meeting,
so there was no reason for her to bail to avoid me.
Have you gone to the Athletic Club to see her?
No answer when I knocked. I asked housekeeping
to check on her.
Dad, her bed hadn't been slept in.
None of this is normal.
How much more abuse do you think your body can take anyway?
What are you even doing at this program that Sharon sent you to?
Are you just telling them what they wanna hear?
You're not stronger than fentanyl, Nick.
You know that, right? That would be impossible.
I know you don't wanna get into this right now,
right here, but honestly, I didn't plan to either.
But how can you go from rehab sessions during the day
-to overdosing? -To be frank with you,
I'd like to know that as well.
Look, there's a lot to get through, and we will do that.
But right now, the only thing that matters
is where's Matt?
Your mother loves to work out in the morning.
Maybe housekeeping tidied up the room and--
The housekeeper was the one who told me
her bed hadn't been slept in.
-Yeah. You did say that. -You think I'm overreacting?
Or you don't, and you won't admit it.
Kyle, your mother is furious with me.
At the whole world.
Maybe she's making a statement.
Oh, so she's just letting us worry out of spite?
Or she just needs some time to think.
And too bad for Harrison's school play?
Mom helped him learn his lines.
They had a secret signal if he forgot anything.
He would find her in the audience,
and she would try to help him.
They made a plan for that.
And she wouldn't go AWOL if he was counting on her.
Kyle, I can't predict your mother's actions these days.
Why won't you just admit this freaks you out?
I can tell it does.
I am slightly concerned.
Then what do we do?
God help us, I think we need to find Patty.
What did you do to Matt, Phyllis?
I mean, how selfish can you be
toying with a man,
a broken man like that?
Are you kidding me? You know where you belong?
You belong in a cell or a dungeon or a grave.
Don't be self-righteous with me.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You haven't been here. Nobody wants you here.
-It's not about you. -[laughing] Oh.
Well, you know what, Phyllis?
I was born and raised here. You are the interloper.
Okay, well, I have a life here. You do not.
Okay? So everybody
knows what you've done, Patty.
You can't hide.
The only one you can con is Matt.
He doesn't even know who he is himself.
Okay.
You are so selfish, Phyllis.
I mean, you're using him
as a sacrificial lamb.
Okay. You ruin people's lives.
That's all you've done.
You're trying to con yourself back into the world.
I'm not buying it.
You know there are actual people in the world
who are trying to make something of their lives.
You are not one of them. You are not good.
You deserve nothing.
Oh, and you...you are ruining Matt's life
while I am just trying to save it.
So that you know, Matt Clark is in a secure location
on the property, all right?
Where?
That's all you need to know.
No, it's not, Dad. Where is he?
Son, we discussed this at the hospital.
-Nicholas, you need to rest. -NOAH: Aunt Vick's right.
Your recovery is the priority right now.
Nicholas.
-Oh, your father texted... -Mom.
...that you had been discharged.
-I'm okay. -Well...
it seems too soon.
To us too, but the doctor said he could recover at home.
Okay, everyone listen to me, all right?
I'm good. I'm strong. I'm completely clear-headed.
ADAM: Good.
So what do you remember about what happened last night?
-Adam. -No, it's okay, Sharon.
The sooner we get through this,
the faster we can focus on what really matters.
NIKKI: Only if it's not too painful.
I know the others were there, but Victoria and I,
we found out after the fact.
ADAM: Same for me.
So, please...go ahead.
All right. I, uh, I showed up to Dad's office.
Phyllis had let me know that Matt was gonna be there.
You know, Matt was doing his whole amnesia thing
and I was about to call Burrow and have him come over,
but then things went sideways.
You collapsed right in front of us.
You completely passed out.
Yeah, Doc said it wasn't... wasn't good.
They mentioned CPR, which means you could have died.
SHARON: He did die. It's true.
It was like the world stopped.
We thought we had lost you.
And there was CPR. It was Phyllis and Matt
who got your heart going again.
And then the paramedics pumped you full of meds.
Wait. You're telling me that it was Phyllis and Matt?
Matt Clark saved my life? I'm supposed to believe that?
So you're telling me that Matt Clark...
Matt performed CPR.
How'd you let that maniac even touch me?
Son, wait a minute.
He jumped into action, and it worked.
-Nick's heart actually stopped? -VICTOR: Yes.
-He didn't have a pulse. -Okay, this is obviously new
to your father, so let's just go gently.
Nicholas, we almost lost you.
And Phyllis performed mouth to mouth.
I mean, those two-- this is insane.
How did you know he wouldn't try to murder me?
Because you were already gone, Nicholas.
I admit, I stood in his way.
The last thing I wanted was his hands on you.
But then the paramedic told me that Matt's actions
and Phyllis's probably saved your life.
Guy got you hooked on drugs,
and then he saved you from another overdose.
This will never happen again. Do you understand me?
I know too well what you're facing.
And we will do everything we can to help you get well.
Um, Patty, what are you doing here?
You're trying to save Matt Clark from this mean, nasty world?
-You're the nasty one. -Oh, oh!
Um, does my, uh, kindness disgust you, Phyllis?
Um...yeah.
It does.
Uh, you're Patty Williams.
[gently] You are kind to children and animals, right?
[normal voice] As long as they don't get in your way.
You can't be decent to anyone.
Because to you, it's just weakness.
Patty, go shove...
Matt Clark
in the face of the Newmans.
Go ahead and do it. We all know you're just
trying to prove to everyone that you've been rehabilitated.
Don't you wanna be better, Phyllis?
Or would that mean you have to admit
that you've made mistakes, and you can't do that, can you?
You think you're blameless.
-I am blameless. -Oh, so sad for you
and all the people who you disappointed.
Patty, no one's here. Who's the show for?
No one's listening.
Was it for Jack? Is it for Jack?
Is it? I mean, I hate to break it to you.
He knows you've been crazy for decades.
Oh, Phyllis.
We're talking about Matt Clark
and his safety.
And you're his life vest, are you?
Yes. Someone has to be.
Okay. You're not gonna get your claws into Matt Clark.
That's never, ever gonna happen. I promise you.
To be grateful to Matt Clark, of all people.
I'm sorry. That's impossible.
It was one shocking moment after another.
For the person I hate the most in this world
to be the reason why Nicholas is still with us?
You could see it on his face,
like the way a switch flipped for him.
He said it was an overdose and he knew what to do.
VICTORIA: Well, that means he remembers who he is
and what he's done.
Is that what happened?
-Did Matt come clean? -No.
Nothing like that. It was more like an instinct
buried in his mind.
Must come from his line of work. You know, he sells the drugs
and then he keeps his clients alive for more.
-Son, come on. -I'm not talking about Nick,
but it's just--it's insane.
Look, somebody saved my son.
At this moment, I don't care who or why.
I am grateful.
Look, as destructive as Phyllis is,
I'm not surprised that she tried.
Why would Matt Clark try and save my life?
What does he think is in it for him?
Who's your show for, Phyllis,
pretending to care about Matt? Did you already do it?
Did you already hand him over to the Newmans,
knowing that it would be the end of that poor man?
Your heart breaks, doesn't it?
He's just lost.
I mean, I would hope that you would have
at least that much humanity in you
that you would see that...
he has no memory of who he is,
no idea of what he's done.
He doesn't wanna hurt anyone.
He doesn't hate them.
And you knew that, didn't you?
And that's why you swooped in for the kill.
Yeah. And he couldn't see that threat coming.
-The danger lurking. -Oh, enough, enough, Patty!
-Goodness! -Oh, come on,
Phyllis, Phyllis, Phyllis.
You are free to leave.
I'm not leaving.
This is my spot right here. You go.
[Patty snickers]
Matt...
the man he is now...
is guilty of nothing,
just like the woman I am now is completely innocent.
And if that family hurts him...
blood is on your hands, Phyllis.
[laughs] And God help you
because you will be destined to die alone with your sins,
and even the devil won't wanna go near you.
Okay.
-Patty. -Mm-hmm.
What did you do to Diane?
If Adam's right and Matt really is faking this memory loss,
then last night he knew it could be over for him.
And then Dad collapsed,
and he saw a chance to save his own ass by saving Dad's.
He tried to kill your father.
Twice. This was his opportunity
to remove Nick. Why would Matt help him?
Maybe Matt really did lose his memory,
because there's no way in hell
he would ever do anything to keep me breathing.
Even to buy himself some time?
I mean, the guy always has an agenda.
But the point is the man in my office
is not the same as the one who laughed in our faces.
Sharon, how did he seem to you?
Bewildered, even harmless.
There was no snark, no spite.
Just this calm panic
and what seemed like a genuine desire to help.
It was pretty hard to believe until he did what he did.
And now the guy gets the benefit of the doubt?
I mean, the fact that we're even having this discussion
means Matt has gotten what he wants.
Adam, how many times have you told me to take it easy
when it comes to Matt, otherwise you're gonna go crazy?
And you know why.
Doesn't mean I want the guy off the hook.
Wait a minute. He's not off the hook.
He's the man who saved your brother's life.
-That's a fact. -Nick wouldn't even be
in this position if it wasn't for Matt.
Now, you said that we would deal with Matt
when Nick is back on his feet.
And there he is. He's standing.
So it's time.
He doesn't remember who he is.
How do we punish him for crimes he knows nothing about?
Even if he has amnesia,
Matt is still in there.
And there's not a single shred of humanity in that guy.
SHARON: His memories may be buried,
but his crimes haven't gone away.
I still remember what he did to me, to us.
-I'll never forget. -Agreed.
But we can't pretend we're dealing with
the same psycho as before.
Are you softening on him?
Absolutely not. I'm just...
wondering what qualifies as justice.
I mean, how do we get retribution?
Is this what she's done to you, Jack?
[sighs] I mean, Diane,
she'll just keep you guessing,
doesn't wanna share your time or love with you.
It's so bad that you have to come to me answers.
Wait a second. Diane is missing?
Wow, you can't help yourself, can you?
Well, have you checked yachts, cat cafes,
the peanut butter aisle?
Phyllis, we don't have time for this.
By all means, carry on.
I won't ask what the two of you are doing together.
Oh, besides losing my will to live? Ha.
Yeah, I'm gonna go. Good luck finding Diane, or...
or not finding her. But--
Excuse me.
Okay, talk. Where is my wife?
This must be painful
that your wife wants nothing to do with you.
We're getting away from what really matters here.
Victoria is right. Your recovery comes first.
No. Protecting the family comes first. Always.
Son, the family is safe. That's not a problem.
The problem is I need this guy to know he's lost.
But he doesn't know what he's done.
Again, he is dangerous and he's capable of anything.
Maybe before, and maybe again, eventually,
but right now he's not hurting anybody.
Yeah, and when he is sleeping, he's not killing anybody then.
It doesn't mean that he's not a maniac.
Nobody's arguing that he hasn't done terrible things.
Yes, and he can do them all again in a heartbeat.
Okay? We just need to stop debating this and move on.
And make sure the guy cannot hurt anyone ever again.
How do you plan to do that?
Because, according to what everybody is saying,
he is the reason why Nicholas is alive.
Yes, after getting him hooked on drugs, I know!
And after what he's done to my parents and Sienna.
VICTORIA: We're wasting time arguing here.
I mean, Matt could get away,
or he could get his memory back and come after our family,
all right? There's a constant level of risk
that we just need to be done with.
So what do you think we should do?
Hand him over to Detective Burrow
or let the law handle it.
Look, he may have forgotten some things,
but that doesn't mean he didn't commit those crimes.
Right?
And he needs to go to prison for good.
Far away from you.
I'm not handing him over.
No way.
Dad, I need to see this guy face to face, now.
Please.
No, Nicholas. I don't think so.
You are not gonna go traipsing off to deal with Matt.
You have another demon to deal with right now,
and if you don't take it seriously,
that demon will beat you.
And I will. That will be my sole focus...
once I see Matt.
Son, you deserve to face Matt Clark
as long as you promise to go to rehab
once this is over with.
NIKKI: And that you will give up this obsession,
because you're going to need all of your energy
for this next fight.
I want that too, Mother. I promise.
You have my word.
Well, whatever happens in that room, you're...
you're gonna have to deal with it.
Don't lose your self-respect to that guy,
because he has taken so much from you,
from all of us.
Let's go.
All right, son. I'll take you to him.
Adam, will you come along with us?
Son, be calm, okay?
Okay. I'm gonna go check on Sienna.
How did this happen?
Well, I blame the authorities. There were plenty of times
that Matt could have been caught.
Now we just have to pray that your father and Adam
will step in if things get out of hand.
VICTORIA: Sharon, how are you?
You haven't said very much. What's going through your mind?
Has Diane left you, Jack?
I certainly have not seen her.
Okay, did you arrange all this? Did you stash her somewhere?
Why is it that you can't believe
that she left of her own free will?
Maybe for days, maybe forever.
I have no idea. And you don't either, Jack...
the man she claims she loves.
None of this is an actual answer, Patty.
I'm sorry she let you worry.
And I am so sorry that she came back into your life,
but I am right here,
the one person who has never stopped caring.
And I know deep down, Jack...
that you know that we are good together.
And it will start flooding back in
now that she's out of our way.
"Out of our way"? What does that mean?
I have always thought of Matt as a monster--
the pleasure he takes in making people fearful,
inflicting pain, and then he lies so easily and readily
and with such conviction.
Well, Mom and I weren't there last night,
but you were.
Do you really believe that he's forgotten everything?
He seems to have. But even if that's true,
there's no reason to believe that that will last.
And when he does regain those memories,
is he going to go back to being a monster
because the darkness is etched so deeply within him?
I don't know. I don't know the answer.
[moaning] Oh...ohh...
Mom?
Can--can I get you anything?
What is it? Is it a headache?
Yeah. She's been fighting it for too long.
The pressure behind my eyes is horrible.
Sounds like a migraine. Have you had those before?
People with MS are prone to headaches and migraines.
Mom, have you seen your doctor lately?
Maybe we need to make an appointment, I think.
One thing at a time, darling.
Nicholas needs all my attention right now.
[knock on door]
I'll get it.
Hello. I came to check on Nick.
I called the hospital. They wouldn't give me information.
Well, he's home, thank goodness.
And, uh, we owe you... we owe you a thanks.
Um, I told them what you did.
And we are very grateful.
So he's okay?
There's no lasting...
-He's okay? -You can breathe easy, Phyllis.
NIKKI: What you did
was incredible.
Uh, it wasn't just me.
You know that, right? You told them,
didn't you? Um...
Matt was the one who really saved Nick's life.
You really hate my mother, don't you?
Would do just about anything to get rid of her.
Kyle...
I feel for you deeply.
Your mother has toyed with your emotions
and your father's.
Making a new life for all those years ago.
Coming back when it suited her purpose.
And then she couldn't stand the heat
and she just left again.
No, she didn't walk away.
And if she's gone, she was dragged,
kicking and screaming, and who would want her gone
more than you?
That's easier for you to think that, isn't it?
That she left against her will.
And what reason do you have to decide that
other than wishful thinking?
Oh, I don't know. Her son.
Her grandson. Her company.
All the things she loves. They are all right here.
You forgot her husband.
But I guess we all understand why.
Kyle's right. You're doing everything you can
to redirect our attention. It's not gonna work, Patty.
Jack, can't you see the truth?
What truth is that?
We heard what Matt did to help Nick.
Wait--to help Nick?
He didn't just help him. He restarted his heart.
And we know that you're the one who handed him over
to my father and to Nicholas.
Yeah, I did do that.
Why do you say it like that?
-Like what? -Like you're not completely
comfortable with that.
I don't know. Because this...
this Matt Clark that I'm talking to--
he's very scared and very timid
and freaked out by everything he doesn't know.
So you believe his amnesia is real.
Listen, what I've heard about Matt Clark is that...
you know, he's hellbent on destruction
and all the horrible things he's done to your family.
And that's not the guy I've been talking to.
I'm not saying none of those things happened.
I'm not saying that.
But I do believe he doesn't remember.
I do believe him.
You know, what he did last night--
he really wanted to save Nick.
He really did.
Anyway, I--Nick is okay, right?
So that's all that matters, right?
Indeed, he is.
And, Phyllis, I just wanna say
you have taken everything from our family...
and caused so much turmoil and pain.
But at this moment,
all I can say is thank you.
Thank you for keeping him with us.
You're welcome.
We're both grateful.
But the way that I understand it,
this whole nightmare could have been over with a lot sooner.
You knew who Matt was. You could have turned him over sooner.
Not until you made a deal with Nicholas and Victor.
The deal was with Nick. It wasn't with Victor.
Victor would have allowed Matt to float in the wind.
He could have ended this whenever he wanted.
So you went around Victor?
Of course I did. He hates me.
Nick is the rational thinking person here.
Tell me what this deal was exactly.
I hate this guy Clark.
I hate him with every part of me.
Back in Vegas, it was obvious that he was pure slime.
He's got these-- these dead shark eyes.
He was taunting Chelsea and me,
claiming that Nick had died from an overdose.
And he just was enjoying the whole thing
like it was some game.
We knew that it probably wasn't true,
but the son of a bitch dragged it out.
And then...
last night, it really happened.
Except Matt wasn't laughing this time.
How are you doing?
I saw Nicholas...
...die right in front of my eyes.
That image will haunt me for the rest of my life.
That's how I felt when you got shot.
But you're still here.
Yeah. I am.
And so is Nick.
Yeah.
And you know who saved him.
Matt Clark and Phyllis.
Hard to wrap your head around that...
either one of those two doing something selfless.
You think it was a ploy?
I mean, could anybody be that calculating?
You said it was a spur of the moment reaction?
I mean, maybe it was the one noble moment
of the guy's life.
I mean, I wish I knew.
But Phyllis--no. She wasn't thinking about anything
except the guy that she used to be married to.
Summer's dad.
That much I know for sure.
Yeah, I agree.
So does this, um...
change things for you?
You still wanna see her behind bars
if she doesn't give up Newman?
You know...
when I thought your brother was dead...
...I would have given a thousand empires to bring him back.
You're okay.
I hear that's due to you and Phyllis.
Nerves of steel, that one.
So, what... you think this makes us even,
all your sins are washed clean?
-It wasn't about that. -Then what was it about?
It was just like an instinct. It was a flash,
and then I knew how to help.
And why do you think that is?
They say I was a drug dealer.
-Who's they? -Uh, mostly just Phyllis.
She told me about all the things that I've done.
And what if she was lying to you?
Doesn't feel like she was.
Is that instinct too?
It's hard to explain.
But I-I get these images, right?
Like I'm in a club in Los Angeles...
and I don't know how I know that I'm in Los Angeles,
but I am.
And what about the rest?
The rest? It's-- I mean, it's a lot.
And they're just words, right?
I...I haven't remembered anything.
It's just...
me hearing about these things.
And it doesn't compute, right? Like, I can't imagine
that my mind would think those things,
that I would allow my hands to do those things.
And so I-I just shut down.
That's my instinct, is to just...not remember at all.
It would be better to pretend that none of this ever happened.
But then I see the way people look at me.
Then it makes sense.
It's so rough...
that someone would be that way,
that I would be that way.
But you...
I mean, you-- you did a good thing.
People love you.
I see the way people look at you.
No one has ever looked at me like that.
And I'm so glad for them that they still have you.
[sniffling]
So, what, this is-- this is your redemption?
I don't know.
Does one good deed cancel out
all of the other things that I've done?
Look, man, if you're gonna kill me now,
I won't do anything to stop you.
But I do hope that me saving you
takes me one step closer to saving my own soul.
You really refuse to see it.
How sad that she has played with your hearts and minds
like this--no, Jack, she left you before.
She let you grieve.
And Kyle, she left you without a mother,
and probably when you needed her the most, am I right?
And then she came back into your lives.
How she managed to convince you to let her back in,
I will never know, Jack.
But you insist that I can't have changed.
And if you truly believe that, then you have to accept
that Diane can't change either.
You have to accept that she has left the two of you again
and...probably will be gone for good.
ADAM: When you see something like that,
you know, someone you love and you can't help them...
it changes things.
Yep.
So...what happens with Matt now?
I haven't decided yet.
But it should be you who makes the call.
Nick cannot go back to his original plan.
We can agree on that, right?
Because that would be bad all around.
If Nick goes too far, we could lose him...for good.
Well, what's the point, Nikki,
if the plan isn't even in play anymore?
Is that the case?
Well, I would say yes,
especially after recent events.
It's unclear, of course.
Phyllis, I asked you a direct question.
I would like a direct answer.
And I would like to see Nick.
So point me to where he is. I'd like to go to him.
You talk about your soul as if you have one.
Maybe I don't.
But I gotta hope that this isn't the end of the line,
no matter what.
I mean, that look in your eyes...
it's like you're completely clueless.
It's just life.
And if this is the end of my life, then...
-maybe that's what I deserve. -So just like that?
-No big deal? -Well, no, I mean,
I didn't say that.
I could kill you with my bare hands right now.
And no one'll stop me.
I could end you...
and you'd still have that stupid expression on your face
with no memory of what you've done to the people I love.
Where's the justice if you don't remember?
