Do you remember that stretch of waterfront property
that's never been developed?
Um...the one that you were looking to buy
when you first came back to town?
Yeah, before Victor completely wiped me out.
-Mm-hmm? -I still have the plans
to develop that land in what I was hoping would be
Genoa City's premier commercial and residential centers.
Corporate office space, high-end retail.
And luxury high-rises?
Did I tell you about it? Did I show you my plans?
No, you didn't, but go on.
Okay, well, I, uh...
I was thinking we could call it Chancellor Way
as not only a way to pay homage to Katherine's legacy
but as a sign of the company's expansion
under your leadership.
-Well, and yours. -Yeah.
So? Do you like the idea?
I...do like the idea, especially because
I came up with almost exactly the same plan.
-Really? -Mm-hmm.
It's uncanny. There's some small differences,
but the big picture's exactly the same.
-Yep. -What made you think of that?
I mean, same as you. I know that you were looking at the property
and you didn't get a chance to acquire it,
so I just figured it'd be the perfect first project for you
and a great way to relaunch Chancellor.
-Great minds. -Yeah.
I guess we're in sync when it comes to business.
Hopefully not just business.
Is this a power breakfast?
-LILY: Hi! -HOLDEN: Hey.
Something like that.
Well, then, I will let you two get back to it.
Hey, what are you, uh...
You meeting someone?
No, I was just gonna grab a quick bite to eat at the bar.
-Why don't you grab it with us? -Yeah.
-I don't wanna intrude. -CANE: Stop it.
You're not intruding. You and Lily are family.
Yeah. I'm not gonna let my brother sit alone.
Why don't you join us?
[sighs] It didn't have to be this way, Jack.
We could have been so happy together.
But when I gave you a choice...
you once again foolishly chose Diane.
A decision that cost you our love.
And now...
it's gonna cost you your life.

ANNOUNCER: Today, the role of Jill Abbott
is being played by Lauren Koslow.
You know, you could have asked to come over.
You didn't have to follow me from the park.
Well, if I had asked, would you have invited me?
Photos don't do it justice.
These were your father's, weren't they?
Yes. Sally found them at the Abbott house
in a box with all my dad's stuff.
She, uh, thought they added to the vibe.
Mmm. They're perfect.
She helped you decorate, right?
I don't think help is the right word.
-She pretty much did it all. -[laughs]
Sometimes I wonder if there's anything she can't do.
Why are you here, Mom?
Is it a sin for a mom
to want to see her son's home?
No, but...now that you've seen it...what?
I hate the way things are between us,
and I don't want to leave them like this.
Okay, well, if you're here to convince me
not to take Cane's offer...
No, it's not about Chancellor. It's about you and me.
Well, maybe we can tackle that another time.
No. We're gonna do it now. We're going to work through this
because I love you too much not to fix it.
Let me stay, Billy.
You did this to yourself, Jack.
You could have spent the rest of your days
in wedded bliss with me by your side.
But you rejected. You rejected the dream, Jack.
And now...
now, my love, you-- you're gonna have to pay.
'Scuse me, nurse?
Yes?
How's Mr. Abbott doing?
CANE: So what you been up to this morning?
Well, I spent the better half of the day
-house hunting with my mom. -For her or for you?
Oh, definitely her. But I am determined to find her a place.
Of course, it might help if she wasn't so particular
about her closet and bathroom size.
Oh, I can relate.
I'm sure you can.
But seriously, though, if either of you hear about someone
leasing or selling a house, condo, apartment,
-please let me know. -Yeah.
Sounds like you want it to happen soon.
The sooner the better.
What, you don't like having your mom living here at the Club
keeping tabs on you?
Yeah...no. As much as I love my mom being here,
I...she and I haven't lived in the same city for a long time.
A little too close for comfort?
Especially with us both having a room here at the Club.
Yeah, about that. I'm surprised you're still living here.
As the owner, I think it's great,
but you don't really strike me as the hotel living type.
Honestly, I am not. But I was actually
looking for a place of my own not too long ago, but...
work has been pretty sporadic since Damian passed.
I-I mean, I lost my job under Damian before that,
when he agreed to work for Winters.
[stammers] If the work you hired me for
had been more steady...
You know what? I'm just gonna stop talking now.
It's okay. Um...
so what are your plans going forward?
Honestly, I have... I have no idea.
Well, maybe...
maybe we can remedy that for you.
-Is iced tea okay? -Yes. Perfect.
Johnny is so handsome. Just like his father.
Katie reminds me of me when I was young.
Of course she does.
I hope I can see my grandchildren while I'm here.
Yeah. I think they'd love to see you.
You know, I was thinking the four of us could get together
and maybe go to dinner at the Club one night this week?
-I don't know. -Well...
-I don't know, Mom. -...think about it.
Yeah, okay. Um, you done? Can I get you anything else?
Are you done with your iced tea?
You know, it breaks my heart
that you can't be in my presence long enough
to show me your beautiful new home.
Can we not be dramatic about it?
Please? I'm not barring you from the house.
You weren't here when we moved in.
Okay, but I've been back since, and we've seen each other, so...
Yeah. And those encounters haven't gone very well,
have they?
Exactly why I wanna talk through this.
I think that's all we've done since you've been back
is talk.
Yeah. Yeah, you are right. We have spent far too much time
talking about the problem and not enough time
really trying to figure out a way to fix it.
I mean, can we at least agree on that?
Uh, our patient is holding steady.
It's a miracle he survived such a vicious attack.
By all accounts...
it seems Mr. Abbott has cheated death.
For now, anyway.
Who'd do something so brutal?
[exhales] Excuse me.
Why do you even care what happens to Jack?
You don't even know him, you idiot.
-That was her! -Who?
Patty! She just came out of your father's room!
Check on Jack. Make sure he's okay!
Where are you going?
Hey, the woman that just ran out of here
was the woman that stabbed my father.
Just go--stop her!
Dad, you okay?
Heart's still steady--she didn't have a chance to do any harm.
At least not to you. Hang tight, Dad. I'll be back.
Detective Burrow, it's Kyle Abbott.
How fast can you get to the hospital?
I'm not sure if you're aware, but Lily is actually
the new sole owner of Chancellor Industries.
I...I wasn't aware. Congratulations!
-Thank you. -And she's asked me to be CEO.
-Wow! -So, as CEO...
uh, if the boss approves,
I'd, uh, I'd like to offer you a job.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously. I don't usually joke about, uh, job offers.
No, I mean I-I--sorry, I just wasn't expecting--
And it's not gonna be something sporadic, either.
It's gonna be a full-time gig, something that would
make it possible for you to, uh,
get that place that you could rent
or even buy.
As long as Lily approves.
This is really putting you in the spot.
I swear, I was totally caught off guard too.
No, yeah, I-I mean... I am surprised.
But, uh, no, I think it's a great idea.
I'm just mad that Cane thought of it before I did.
She hates when I upstage her.
Wait, so--so this is legit?
You're really offering to hire me?
Yes. Do you want me to, uh, to repeat the job offer?
No, it's just I wasn't--[huffs] Sorry.
I wasn't expecting something like this to happen today.
Good. So you don't hate the idea then.
No. No, of course not.
But, you know, I don't mean to sound ungrateful,
but I have put some feelers out back in LA.
What--you can't leave now. Your mom is here.
And then how are we gonna get to know each other?
I guess that wouldn't be possible.
So where exactly do you see me fitting in at Chancellor?
We can figure all that out. I mean, I already know what
you're capable of, given you worked for me when I was Dumas.
But we never interacted. That was all through Damian.
Yeah, but I was well aware of your performance.
That's why I asked you to look into the properties for me
and why I trusted you to go to LA and help me
when I thought Lily and the kids were in trouble.
Well, I don't mean it as a dig.
I'm just using it as a point
to show how much I-I respect him and trust him.
I appreciate the kind words.
Well, you earned 'em.
So...
does that mean you're gonna accept my job offer?
Do you ever think that maybe
we'll never be able to fix our issues
no matter how much we talk about it
because they're just unfixable?
No. I refuse to believe that.
Okay, well, I have a very hard time not believing that.
I mean, even when we make progress,
our past just drags us back to square one.
Well, this time feels different. I mean, you seem different.
It's like it's a turning point for you with Sally and the baby.
Yeah, well, that's called getting my priorities straight.
Exactly. It's a chance for a new and a better future,
to finally be happy, and all you have to do
is just get out of your way.
God, you just can't help yourself, can you?
From what?
Judging, finger-pointing, passive-aggressive...
Okay, that's not what I'm doing.
It's all you do. That's all you've ever done
is you just constantly point out all the mistakes I've made,
all the issues that I have
and that fact that I will always continue to make mistakes.
-That's not what I said. -No, maybe not directly, Mom,
but that's what you say.
Oh, God, you are really trying my patience.
Why am I always the one with the problem?
Because you are. You are.
You either refuse to accept your flaws
or you excuse them by hiding behind your addiction.
What are you talking about? My--
you're bringing up my gambling now?
That's not fair. That's not who I am.
I left that guy behind a long time ago.
Really? Is that what you tell yourself?
Honestly, maybe you're the one using my gambling
-as an excuse. -As an excuse for what?
To constantly cut me down and undermine me,
because you do it every chance you get.
Patty!
No, we're following her now!
You need to get here ASAP.
I think Patty's gonna kill my mother.
I hope that neither of you thought
that when I brought up not having a job
that I was trying to get you to hire me, because I wasn't.
I would never do something like that.
I also wouldn't expect any favors or play on the fact
that we're related.
You didn't come off that way at all.
But that is the reason that Cane offered me the job
and the reason that you were okay with it.
Because you just found out that I was your brother.
And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't agree to this
before learning those facts.
You know what? Maybe I would have.
Maybe.
Yeah. Look, I trust Cane's business sense,
you know, and the fact that you're my brother
obviously makes the decision easier for me.
That's what I thought.
Holden, I want you to take the job, okay?
Not just because you're my brother
but also because the person I put in charge
clearly thinks that you're an asset.
No question.
And it wouldn't only make me happy
but I know it'd make Malcolm happy as well.
When you put it that way, I guess I have no choice.
We're not exactly twisting your arm.
You don't have to. I accept.
-LILY: Really? -Terrific!
LILY: Wow.
Well, welcome aboard.
Thanks, truly, truly.
And now I will let you two get back to your power breakfast.
What do you mean? You didn't eat anything.
Oh, no, I'm good. I was hungry before,
but now I am, uh, I'm a little too excited.
So we will connect later and discuss
-exactly what I'll be doing. -I already got some ideas.
All right. Thank you both. I really do appreciate it.
I won't let you down.
Aw. I'm so happy. Bye.
Bye.
You did it again.
What?
You surprised me.
Good. Well, you, uh, see how exciting
this partnership is gonna be?
[phone rings]
Hey, How did you know I was just about to call you?
-Why, what happened? -I just finished meeting
with my old bosses at Newman Publishing
about rebuilding a new similar division.
Well, I can't wait to hear all about it.
I've actually got some pretty interesting news myself.
Good interesting?
Well, it's definitely cause for celebration.
Can you meet me?
I do not undermine you at every chance I get.
I offer you constructive criticism to help you.
My God, the fact that you can say that to me
-with a straight face... -Oh, God!
Okay, look. I understand what happened with Chancellor,
selling it out from under you to Victor,
could be construed as undermining.
Oh, you understand that, do ya?
[exhales] Billy... you weren't ready,
and I was worried if you were sole CEO,
it was only gonna be a matter of time
-before you crashed and burned. -Which is why you forced me
to partner with Cane at Brash and Sassy
and hired Lily at Chancellor because you don't have faith
-that I can fly solo. -Okay, well, I mean,
I hate it that you think that way.
How else am I supposed to think, Mom?
In both cases, not giving you full control--
that was warranted.
Because I'm a royal screwup, right?
Because you had proven, in more than one occasion, okay,
that you could not be trusted.
Right. Yes. I've made a few mistakes.
More than a few, Billy!
Didn't know you were, uh, keeping score, Mom.
Believe me, I wanted to have faith in you
more than anything,
but too many times, you let me down.
Is that what this is?
Is this like the long list of Billy Abbott screwups?
-Is that what we're doing here? -Really? You're gonna deny it?
Have you forgotten embezzling from Jabot?
Have you forgotten gambling away the yacht?
Because those are only two examples.
So can you look at me with a straight face
and say those didn't happen?
Or was I just supposed to ignore them?
[softly] Jack.
I told you I'd be right back.
Uh, um...
I'm a little confused, though, about where the guard is
that's supposed to be on your door.
Both Kyle and Billy said there would be a guard.
And [stammers] I would never have left
if I thought there wasn't gonna be one.
At the very least, someone should have been here with you.
I guess it doesn't matter, I'm here now, and...
Diane and Kyle will be here pretty soon.
Um, Jack...
Jack, I just wish that you would please...
wake up and come back to us, please.
We need you awake
to tell us not to panic,
to tell us, the whole family,
that everything is gonna be all right.
Since Daddy left us,
you have been our rock,
our safety net.
You're the one that catches us when we fall--
at least you have been for me, and I know for Ashley
and Billy.
And Kyle and Diane, too, I'm sure.
Jack...Diane still loves you.
Whatever happened on that yacht is ancient history.
It's over now.
I know for sure by the way that she looks at you,
by the way she wouldn't leave your side...
the love the two of you have is very much alive.
But honestly, everything else is kinda messed up.
And you're the only one who can fix it.
Jack.
We need for you to wake up
and tell everyone who really did this to you.
Jack, it's the only way that you can save Diane.
Please, we just need for you to open your eyes.
Just wake up.
[sighs] Ohh...
[sighs]
JACK: [weakly] Traci.
-Tr...Traci... -Jack!
Jack, you're awake! Oh, Jack.
Jack, you've come back to us. You're awake!
Hello. [laughing]
Patty!
Hey! Thank you for meeting me.
-Yeah. -I know how busy you've been
-since Victor got Newman back. -Yeah.
It seems like since the minute that happened,
he's been hitting the ground running
and he expects the rest of us to follow.
Not that I mind. I love being a part of it,
especially now that he has asked me
to run a new division in my father's name.
Well, I can't wait to hear all about it.
-First tell me your news. -Uh, before we get to that,
tell me how your grandmother's doing.
Last I heard, the surgery was successful.
It was, yeah. Um...
There's just still no guarantee that once the bandages come off
-she'll fully regain her sight. -Right.
The not knowing can't be easy.
No, not for any of us.
We're just trying to keep her spirits up and...
helping her navigate things at the ranch.
-The ranch. She moved back? -Yeah, she did.
We all thought it would be best since it's the place
-that's most familiar to her. -And Victor was okay with that?
He gave his blessing.
Mmm.
Does that mean that they are getting back together?
That's what we're all hoping.
It is a step, but right now the family is just focused on
supporting my grandmother and her recovery.
Sounds like a plan.
Okay, well, now you can't keep me in suspense any longer.
What is your big news?
Okay, well, I'm sure you've already heard
that Victor gave Chancellor to Lily.
Yeah. I heard that.
Um, I was upset for my grandmother,
but, hey, at least it went to Lily and not Phyllis.
Right, well,
do you also know that Lily hired Cane to run it?
I did not know that.
I hope that wasn't your news.
Well, it's--it's related.
I ran into Cane and Lily at the Club,
and, well...
Cane offered me a job.
And not a part-time or freelance gig
like I've done with him before
but a legit full-time job!
What? What is it? What's wrong?
I wish I could be happy for you.
Why aren't you?
'Cause I think taking a job with Cane could be a big mistake.
Holden coming on board is gonna be great.
He's already familiar with the properties
I want Chancellor to acquire.
How long had you been thinking about hiring him?
Honestly, I, uh, I thought of it when he was talking about
not having a job.
And I looked over at you and saw how concerned you seemed
over him not having one, and I just thought that
it'd be the quickest way to make you smile.
So I didn't overstep, did I?
No, I mean, I-I love the idea. I do. I meant that.
Uh, that's not really what's bothering me.
All right. What is?
You.
Like you fixed things again.
Kind of like the same way when you stepped up
to get tested for Malcolm.
Just seems like lately you kind of know
exactly what to do to make life easier for me.
You're saying it like it's a bad thing.
You seem like you're more unsettled about it than happy.
I mean, maybe because that's exactly what I am.
It's true.
I have been hard on you.
I'll own that.
-Gee, thanks. -Oh, God, Billy.
You are so hard-headed.
You refuse to hear anything
besides what you've already decided is the truth.
There you go. The judgment again.
And you with the attack.
I mean, I could extend an olive branch to you
and not only would you turn it down,
you'd remind me of all of the times
I had yanked one away in the past.
-And you haven't? -[sighs]
I can't even tell you that I love you
without you telling me that I'm not loving you the way I should.
Oh, come on. That's a little extreme.
Is it?
If I ask to be a part of your life,
you'll remind me of all the times that I could have been
and I wasn't--I just can't win with you, Billy.
Because I'm hard-headed, right? Because I'm stubborn
and all the other things, but not you, no, no, not you.
You're perfect. You've never done anything like that,
because you are the model mother.
I am as far from a model mother as any person could be.
Well, at least you admit it.
Well, I can accept any blame that you dish out.
But this twisted dance that we keep on doing, Billy,
dredging up the past and never getting beyond it is painful.
It's no cake walk for me either.
Why don't we...
why don't we wipe the slate clean? I mean...
can't we try? Can't we try to stop
throwing the past into each other's faces,
especially when I don't know how much time I have left?
How did I get here? [groans] Oh!
Jack, please, please, don't stress yourself, please.
I'll tell you everything, I promise.
Right now just breathe and get your bearings.
[labored breathing]
Uh--Diane...Markham has her...
-I have to--I have to find-- -No, no, it's all right.
No, Diane is all right. Kyle got her away from there.
Kyle got her home. Diane is safe.
Home...
Patty!
No, please don't think about Patty.
Don't even worry about it. Jack, you've been through an ordeal.
Right now, you just have to focus on
getting your strength back, and I have to get you help.
-I need to tell a nurse-- -Patty is angry. She--
I told her I don't want her.
-No-- -I only want Diane.
-I love [groans] Diane! -I know.
I know. It's all right, Jack. Please.
Don't stress yourself.
You have been unconscious for quite a while,
but all of this is gonna come back to you. It will.
Right now, I need to get some help.
A nurse. I'm gonna step outside your door.
I'll be right outside your door, and I'll be right back.
All right?
PATTY: This is what real love looks like.
You just never understood.
JACK: Uhh--
PATTY: Ah--uhh--
-Oh! -It's over, Patty!
Get your hands off me!
Did you really think I'd let you get away
after what you did to Jack?
PATTY: Help!
Help!
No one is going to help you,
and no one would blame me if I strangled you right now!
Why is it a mistake that I work for Chancellor?
You know that I've struggled
to figure out my next move job-wise,
and Cane is giving me the chance that I needed
to get back on my feet.
You know I'm no fan of you working for Cane.
The man tried to destroy my grandfather's business
the minute he got back into town,
not to mention it was Cane's AI that made it possible
for Phyllis to steal Newman Enterprises.
But your grandfather wasn't exactly innocent in all of that.
Victor decimated Cane's business for no reason
except for that he could.
That's not entirely true.
Victor used the same AI program
to destroy Arabesque, and once the dust settled,
the company was nothing but a shell of what it once was.
If you were Cane, wouldn't you be pissed too?
I'm sorry, are you mad because I'm doing things
that make your life easier?
No, I'm not...mad. It's just...
messing with my head.
In what way?
I don't know, I just-- I feel like
since I met you you've been like five different people.
And so I kinda have this shield around my heart
when it comes to trusting you.
-I'm sorry. -No, and lately, you've been
very generous and helpful, you know,
and you've done things for me
that I will never be able to repay.
I didn't do those things because I wanted something in return.
I know. That's what makes it even more confusing.
I just feel like you're so different from the original Cane
that I fell in love with.
I mean, even you offering Holden a job
when I was just so worried about what he was gonna do,
I mean, even that was amazing.
I mean, I couldn't bring him to Winters 'cause...
I know Devon doesn't trust him, so you spared me that battle.
But...I don't even know if what I'm saying is making sense.
What I'm trying to say is that I just feel very...
turned around.
Please say something.
I'm afraid to.
-Why? -Because what you're saying
is music to my ears, and I don't wanna do anything
to mess it up.
I asked you not to be dramatic.
Well, it's a fact we both need to face.
I don't know how much longer I'm gonna be around.
Okay, I don't wanna talk about this, okay?
'Cause you just said yourself you're good.
I mean, you're healthy. You've been doing much better
and you look fantastic, so, you know, no one would even know
-that you'd been sick. -Okay. But I was sick.
And it, uh, terrified me.
And I got to the point where I had to tell myself,
"You had a good run. Be grateful and accept the fact
-that this might be the end." -Okay--[stammering]
are you telling me this so I feel guilty
for being angry with you?
I'm trying to wake you to the truth, son.
I can't imagine anything worse than leaving this world
without us having the chance to heal this hurt b--
this hurt between us.
All his vitals appear normal. His doctor should be in shortly.
Great. Thank you so much.
Oh, Jack.
I'm just--I'm so excited I'll be able to call everyone
and tell them that you're awake.
We've all been so worried.
Where are Diane and Kyle?
They have just gone home for just a few minutes.
Kyle was here with you all night long.
And Diane--um...
they will be so happy to hear that you're awake.
And I'll call Billy too,
and Ashley's on her way here from Paris.
She should be here soon. Oh, Jack,
they will all be so thrilled to hear the good news.
We've been so worried.
-[breathing hard] -What is it?
I know how I got here.
Patty did this to me.
Where is she? What happened to Patty?
PATTY: [straining] Oh! You will be sorry!
You should have let me go when you had the chance.
You should have stayed away from Genoa City and Jack!
And you should have stayed dead!
-DIANE: [gasps] -Jack would have been
-better off! -Shut up, Patty!
You hear me? Shut up!
Just shut up!
Aah! Aah! [gasping]
What'd you do?
I don't wanna fight with you. With me at Chancellor
and you going back to work at Newman, we're already
gonna be on the opposite sides of some corporate battles.
And I'm hoping we'll be able to keep our business conflicts
and our personal relationship separate.
I will try if you will.
And I...
wanna support you in your new job
just the way you are supporting me in mine,
even if your job is working for Cane.
Well, I like to think of it as me working for my sister
since she is the one who owns Chancellor.
And I'm really glad you'll be connecting with Lily.
I know how much that means to you.
[exhales] So...
for that reason alone,
I'll buy you a mimosa.
I appreciate it.
Do you know yet what you'll be doing
for your sister's company?
Well, it's to be determined,
but I really just wanted to share good news with you
because you were the first person that I thought to call.
Funny. You are the first person
that I thought to call with my news.
Hmm. I wonder what that means.
Maybe we're becoming in sync.
Ah. Well, it is about time.
Well, I should get back to the office.
Yeah, same.
Hey, I'm curious about something.
What?
I get why Devon would have an issue with hiring Holden,
but would you, um...
would you prefer to have him at Winters?
No, not necessarily.
I just want him to find his place and, you know,
I hope that you can help with that.
-What? -No, it's just funny
'cause I'm still trying to find my place,
and here I am helping Holden and Billy find theirs.
Oh, I'm sure you'll all find your place eventually.
Thanks for giving us a chance.
Well, thank you, Cane.
I would hate it if we weren't able to mend this
before it was too late.
It would be my biggest regret.
It doesn't have to be.
Billy.
Come to London with me.
We can work things out there
away from this town and all the baggage it comes with.
What do you say?
Jack, please don't upset yourself.
I will tell you everything. You deserve to know the truth.
But try to stay calm.
Patty is claiming that Diane is the one who stabbed you.
-She told you that? -No. No.
She told the police that.
It gets worse. Diane was arrested last night.
Wait--that's crazy.
-Anyone who knows Patty-- -I know,
knows that Diane is innocent.
Please don't worry. Michael's on the case.
He was able to convince a judge to let Diane out on bail.
And obviously...
Patty did not expect you to survive this to tell the truth.
But, Jack, you have.
And now you can make everything right.
Oh, dear God, I hope so.
[groans] Ohh...
Oh! Oh...
Get her! Mom!
Mom, Mom, Mom!
Are you okay? What'd she do to you?
What did she do to you? Hey, hey, hey!
What did she do?
Let go--uhh--
No! Aah!
What did you do to her?
-What she deserves! -What happened?
That lunatic just injected my mother with something!
Mom, I've got you. I'm gonna take care of you.
Hey, I've got you, okay? Come on.
Let's go.
Stay with me, Mom. Stay with me!
