I came as soon as I got your message, Daddy.
Is everything okay?
-VICTOR: Hi, sweetheart. -Is it Mom?
I didn't call you here because of your mother.
Okay. Why do I feel like I just walked into a tribunal?
[chuckles] You and me both.
We were summoned to what we thought would be a celebration
after pulling off a real coup for Newman Enterprises.
-Oh, I can't wait to hear. -VICTOR: Would you two
kindly explain to Victoria
how you managed to reclaim Newman Media
without...bloodshed?
Aren't you glad I got you out of the office
on this beautiful day?
Yeah. And yet, here we are, back inside.
Well, we needed something to toast our latest victory.
Don't worry. I got you decaf.
Oh. Baby and I thank you.
To the superstars of Spectra-Charles.
That's you and me, according to René
and his stable of content creators.
I can't believe he got back to you so quickly.
Here's to your superior sales pitch.
Cheers.
Mm.
Between the deal I just closed
and the capital you brought in
by selling Newman Media back to the Newmans,
-we are on fire. -Well, they say if you want
your company to grow, you gotta hire the best of the best,
and that's exactly what I did when I hired you.
It was the easiest decision I've ever made.
To our continued success.
Thanks to the best partner I could ask for.
[Audra giggles]
Okay. I hate to be a vibe kill,
but maybe you should talk to your other partner.
You need to tell about selling his gift
back to his sworn enemy.
Okay. I thought we agreed not to use the term sworn enemy
when talking about this.
I know you're dreading it.
You have no idea.
Well, you shouldn't.
After today's deal, I am more confident than ever
that Spectra-Charles can stand on its own
without Newman Media as a safety net.
Sell Billy on that point.
But just don't take too long.
Because the longer you do, the greater the risk
he's gonna hear it from someone else.
Like Adam himself.
♪♪
Once the lawyers look over the contract
and get it back to me, I'll be more than happy
to spill some ink on that dotted line and become
a valued member of Chancellor Industries once again.
I know, Cane. You don't believe that my mother has a secret
deep inside Chancellor, but listen, rest assured,
the job you're giving me right now
is priority number one, okay?
I owe it to you, and I'm not gonna let you down.
I owe it to others as well, so...
I'm excited too.
Hey, hold on one second. I got another call.
Hey, Cane, you still there?
No. Nothing important.
So where were we?
Since it is our mission to restore our family's empire,
I would say that reclaiming Newman Media
is definitely a feather in our cap.
-That's what we thought. -Until we got here.
Mm-hmm. And started getting the third degree.
Don't you think I'm entitled to know what the hell happened,
how you managed to get the company back?
Do you not believe us?
Is that why you want us to bore Victoria with the details,
to see if she thinks we're telling the truth or not?
So Victoria's heading up Newman Enterprises now,
so if Newman Media is returned...
It already has been.
Oh, really? Huh.
Then it falls under her purview, doesn't it?
Don't you think she should know how you managed to do that?
Even though we have yet to hear your opinion...
except when you asked me, "What the hell have you done?"
It's not exactly the vote of confidence
that we were expecting.
VICTOR: Son, I run the damn company.
It belongs to me.
I think I have a right to know what's going on!
What's being done in my name without my approval.
Why is that a problem?
SALLY: I am going to tell Billy today.
All right? I told you that I was gonna meet him later at Society,
but right now I just want to savor
this moment of victory with you.
Okay. I am all for celebrating the deal we just closed,
along with the windfall we got
from selling Newman Media back to Adam,
and all the ways we can use that money
to expand our footprint.
Well, as long as something good comes out of it,
then I will have no regrets about letting it go.
Except one.
I know you feel guilty
because Billy gave that company to you as a gift.
But that's all the more reason to tell him as soon as possible.
I know. Believe me.
Well, you're not gonna be able to relax
until you can get this off your chest.
And who knows? Maybe Billy will take it in stride
and be okay with it.
Yeah. I hope so.
He made a big deal about this...
new direction he's taking, right?
And didn't that include steering clear
of any unnecessary conflicts with Victor or Adam?
Maybe he'll surprise us and be totally chill.
Okay, let's not get carried away here.
This is Billy we're talking about,
finding out that I made a deal with Adam.
Which is exactly why I have to tell him face-to-face.
Which you already had the chance to do this morning
in the privacy of your own home.
Yeah, I know, okay? I do. But it wasn't the right time.
And maybe it is better to do it in public, you know?
I mean, is he really gonna lose it
over a civilized meal at Society?
Call and see where he is. And then tell him.
[huffs]
He was worked up earlier over his fight with Jill.
-I didn't want to add to it. -Okay, we both know
Billy's issues with Jill are not gonna be resolved in a few hours
or a few days.
-Or maybe ever. -Yeah.
I mean, after this recent trip was cut short,
I'm starting to agree with you.
Okay, well, let's stay on track.
The sale of Newman Media is a big deal.
And the news is gonna break soon.
You know, I'm actually surprised
the Newmans haven't started crowing about it.
But if Billy finds out before you tell him...
there might really be hell to pay.
Why don't you tell Victoria what you told me?
Fine.
Chelsea and I were successful in intimidating Sally and Audra
into returning Newman Media,
and it's not really any more complicated than that.
When you say intimidated them, what exactly do you mean?
By informing them that Victor was never gonna buy back
pieces of Newman that were stolen from him
and that Spectra-Charles has no chance at stopping
the inevitable retaliatory onslaught
if they chose to hang on to the company.
So they made the smart choice and relinquished it
and chose to save themselves not only from
a bloody battle but possibly public humiliation
by losing their company to Victor,
something I was very quick to point out
could very well happen.
Didn't you present a similar scenario
to Sally and Audra when they came to make a deal?
Yeah, I did.
And I believe they were pretty dug in at the time,
and they swore that they were gonna do whatever they could
to hold onto Newman Media.
They did indeed, yeah.
So how is it that you were able to get them
to change their minds when our father couldn't do that?
Adam didn't change their minds.
I did.
As soon as you finish the red lines on that contract,
I'd love to get it back to me as soon as possible.
I wanna wrap this up by the end of business day.
Yeah, I'm excited too.
All right, thank you.
Okay.
Mother, what complexities are you hiding
inside of Chancellor from me now?
[keys clicking] History of Chancellor Industries.
Okay. "A timeline of company milestones."
Maybe this will give me some insight on what I need to know.
"Katherine Reynolds, maiden name Shepherd,
"inherited the business
"from her first husband, Gary Reynolds.
"Upon Reynolds' death... Katherine, AKA Kay,
"took the helm of the struggling company,
"ultimately turning its management over
"to second husband Phillip Chancellor II...
"renaming it Chancellor Industries,
"turning it into a major competitor
"in the business world.
"Upon Phillip Chancellor's death,
"a series of people ran the company
until Katherine took over a more active role in her later years."
Nothing here. Nothing...
Nothing I don't already know.
I'm gonna have to dig a little bit deeper here.
All right, Billy. Might have to get your hands dirty.
[phone rings]
Hi. Are you ready to watch me drink that milkshake?
[chuckles] It's all I've been thinking about.
Ha ha. Uh-oh.
What other vicarious thrills can I offer you?
I will think about it.
Start a list.
Well, you sound better than you did earlier.
Did your mom call you? Were you able to work things out?
As far as my mother's concerned,
I'm not sure when we'll be on speaking terms again.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
Depending on this secret at Chancellor, who knows?
Might never speak to her again.
You really think your mother's
still keeping something from you?
I am. She's betrayed me in the past.
The feeling that I have that she's been
hiding something from me all this time
doesn't make the situation any easier, that's for sure.
Where are you now?
I'm at home. Why? What's going on?
Sally?
Sally, you there?
Isn't it your affair with Adam
that broke up his relationship with Sally?
CHELSEA: [huffs]
Uh, I'm not sure what that has to do
with our efforts to regain Newman Media.
I just wonder how you, of all people,
could sway Sally to do something
that my father couldn't get her to do.
I mean, how is she supposed to believe
a word that comes out of your mouth,
given that you lied to her and Billy for months?
I appealed to Audra and Sally on a different level.
-And? -As someone that was an outsider
now being on the inside.
They related to you in that way?
Why wouldn't they?
I've been where they are.
Scrappy, hungry.
I also know what it's like to be on Victor Newman's bad side.
So does Audra.
We both had to pay the price for going up against your father,
and I think Sally sees the impact of that.
I just don't get how the two of them
would so easily give up an entity
that they had to figure was going to be their competition
without any reward or compensation.
It just seems highly unlikely to me.
Yeah, well, trust me. When we got done with them,
they knew better than to ask for anything.
Sally and Audra are very smart, savvy businesswomen,
and our father is the ultimate intimidator.
I can't keep but coming back around to the idea
that if he couldn't get them to cave, how could you do that?
You know, I have this strong gut feeling
that the two of you are leaving something out.
Adam and Chelsea,
how'd you really pull this off?
What is it that you two want from me?
I mean, I have bent over backwards to fall in line.
Whenever you've called, I have answered.
I've pushed down my own interests to serve yours,
despite being passed over.
[laughs] You mean Daddy making me CEO?
Uh, hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
It's about time that someone talked about it.
Do you have any idea how blindsided I was
by that announcement?
After months of being the dutiful son
and standing by you while our company was under attack,
just to be completely dismissed?
It was a major gut punch.
But am I not going along with the status quo? No.
Am I going back to the dark side
to sabotage Victoria for the top spot? I'm not.
I'm still here as your loyal soldier, doing your bidding.
But if you want me to be that guy again, keep pushing.
BILLY: Sally, you there?
Yeah. Sorry. I, um...
I just got distracted. Pregnancy brain.
It's okay. So what's up?
Well...
[mouthing] Tell him!
For starters, we just closed a big deal
with the owner of a content agency.
That's wonderful news. Congratulations.
Is that the big news that you wanted to share with me?
No. I...
I should have told you earlier,
but it just didn't seem like the right time.
Hey, is everything okay? Is the baby all right?
Did something happen?
No. No, it's not the baby. At all.
The baby's totally fine. I swear.
Okay, then that's all that matters, right?
It is. Yeah.
Oh, I forgot to tell you too. Um...
While I was waiting to board my flight back
from the worst transatlantic flight of my life,
I popped into this adorable little bookstore and I picked up
Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
-I love that book. -I know you do.
I was thinking we could start reading it to the baby,
maybe even tonight.
That would be wonderful.
It, uh, it helped me, you know,
change my mood
after the worst flight of my life with my mother.
I can't believe with how stressed you were
that you managed to go pick up my favorite book for the baby.
Well, you two are my whole world.
-You're ours. -Okay, so, uh,
sorry, I got distracted. What did you wanna tell me?
I would rather tell you in person.
So I'll be home soon, and I will fill you in then.
Okay, I'm waiting. I'll be here.
-I'll see you soon. -Hey.
Yeah?
-I love you. -I love you too.
Happy?
Well...
sounded like you didn't tell him anything.
But you...did have a moment.
Hey, why don't you remind him of that
after you drop the bomb but before he explodes.
You really think Billy's gonna hit the roof, don't you?
Well, the guy clearly loves you, Sally,
and loves the baby that you're having together.
Look, he might be disappointed
you gave Newman Media back to the Newmans,
specifically Adam.
But maybe he won't think it's as important as we do.
Yeah.
Well...you've laid the groundwork.
Now all you have to do is just spill.
Billy may not be happy about it at first,
but I am sure you can convince him
this was the right move.
-I hope you're right. -I know I am.
But you're still worried.
Is there more to your hesitation than you're telling me?
Son, everything you said just now
has nothing to do with the original question.
How the hell did you guys get Newman Media back, okay?
And one thing I have to warn you about.
Let us not start infighting.
I agree.
But I do understand Adam's frustration.
It feels like we're being scrutinized and interrogated
as if we didn't just do something great for the company.
-We didn't say that. -Well, you didn't have to.
It's clear you don't believe what we're saying to you.
How do you think that makes us feel?
How do you think that makes Adam feel
after he's bent over backwards
to be loyal to every member of this family.
And I'm not just talking about business.
Adam risked his life to help Nick stop Matt Clark.
In Vegas when Nick was overdosing,
guess who helped him--Adam.
After everything he does, he doesn't deserve to be
treated like he committed some capital offense
by his own family.
He should be being thanked.
He just handed you a massive gift.
Maybe you can thank him
instead of grilling him over how he did it.
Chelsea...
if everything was aboveboard,
then why the hell did I find out about this after the fact?
Because I was afraid Sally would change her mind.
And I wanted to wait until I had something solid to present.
Since the moment that I said that we had gotten it back,
Chelsea and I have been met with nothing but suspicion
and insinuation, and I just-- for the life of me,
I don't know why!
Why are you being so defensive, man?
I don't want any surprises.
Do you understand? I don't like them.
You couldn't just appreciate what we accomplished, hmm?
I guess it's not a coup unless you pull it off, right, Dad?
This conversation's over.
That sounded like a lot of deflecting.
What do you think?
You're right. They're hiding something.
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes to find out what that is.
Of course there's nothing more going on, okay?
I'm just overwhelmed. That's it.
You know, when I think about
Billy giving me Abbott Communications,
I think about how he didn't fight me
when I brought you on.
And even when I told him I was changing the name,
I could tell he wasn't thrilled about it
but he just swallowed his ego and he got behind it.
Well, maybe because he felt guilty
for leaving you holding the bag
so he could chase Chancellor one more time.
Maybe. But at the end of the day,
he's believed in me more than anyone else ever has.
-[ahem] -Aside from you, of course.
Look, Billy's done a lot,
-but no more than you deserve. -Yeah.
Well, this is how I repay him? I take his gift
and I give it right back to his enemy.
I thought we weren't using those words.
I know, but whenever I think about actually telling Billy,
those are the words I hear him saying.
Okay, well, Adam left you no choice.
That's not entirely true.
Adam didn't give me an ultimatum.
I could have told Adam that I needed some time.
I could have run the idea by Billy,
got his input before I went ahead with the sale.
Okay, but you didn't do that because you knew
Billy's first instinct would have been what mine was--
to fight you on it.
Only he wouldn't have listened to reason.
-He's like Victor that way. -Okay. I would hate to think
-he's like Victor in any way. -Okay, what I mean is
he wouldn't have done what's best for you or your company.
It would have been about Billy's ego.
And given your history, you have every reason
not to trust he can set aside his pride
with anything involving the Newmans.
Yeah. You have a point.
But the thing is, after I told him about the baby,
we made a pact that we weren't gonna
keep things from each other moving forward.
And me making this deal behind Billy's back--
I betrayed our commitment to always being honest
and to not keeping secrets.
That's not at all what you did.
As far as I'm concerned, we were strong-armed into selling,
and that's what you need to get Billy to understand.
Okay, I'm not sure he's gonna like that scenario any better.
Either way, I didn't go to him first.
You were trying to give him time with his mother
and not bother him with this. And as far as you knew,
he was gonna be in London for a long time.
If you waited until he got back,
Victor could have taken Newman Media
and maybe Spectra-Charles too.
You did not have a choice, Sally.
You needed to act fast, and that's exactly what you did.
You did nothing wrong, okay?
That's what you need to get Billy to see.
Without apologizing.
I assume this isn't a social visit.
Actually, um, I came by to see Sally.
-Okay. Is she expecting you? -No.
No, I was just passing by
and took a chance that she might be home.
Well, she's not. I just got off the phone with her, though,
and she's heading home now.
Okay. Well, I'm surprised to see you here.
The kids said that you would be in London with Jill.
Change of plans?
You could say that. Not worth getting into.
You wanna sit?
Sure. Then I won't bother.
So, what about Jack. How's he?
Jack is good. He's feeling better.
He's home from the hospital.
Good. I'm glad to hear that.
My mom'll be happy too. I know she was so worried about him.
How's everything going in Newman
now that the old man has his empire back?
There were a few glitches
when Phyllis finally decided to return the key,
but I've got everything back on track for the most part.
You know, I gotta say I'm a little surprised
she handed it over so quickly.
My father is a master at getting what he wants, Billy.
-You know that. -Yeah.
I know that.
So you must have been shocked coming back to hear about
Chelsea and Adam's big coup?
Newman Media?
I'm sure that Sally told you how they convinced her and Audra
to give it back.
You have nothing to feel guilty about
when it comes to Billy. You have repaid him tenfold
by turning his seed of an idea into an awesome company
that has grown beyond our wildest dreams.
So, if he decides to lose his mind
because you did what you had to do to keep our company safe
from yet another Newman power grab,
then you need to remind him
just how lucky he is to have you.
And if you need me to go in there
and back up every reason you had for selling,
just say the word and I'm here.
I know you are.
But when I talked to Billy, he reminded me
that our connection goes way beyond any business deal.
As it should.
But I definitely need to tell him
before Adam and Chelsea spread the word.
Considering they wanna change the narrative
and lie to Victor about how the deal went down...
we need to get ahead of that.
I'm sure you're right.
Yeah, and we also agreed to go along with
that version of things too, remember?
Yeah, that we gave Newman Media back
and no money changed hands.
That's what you're gonna tell Billy?
I don't wanna lie to him.
But I'm not sure I can trust him with the truth.
Part of me wishes that I could tell him the truth.
Victor's already not thrilled we went behind his back.
If he finds out you bought something
that already belonged to him, it is not gonna go well.
Well, I'm not surprised how it all went down.
There's no way that Victor was gonna take that win
at face value, especially because he wasn't part of it.
Well, it's not in Victor's nature to think
that things could go so smoothly without him involved.
Unfortunately, this time he was right.
It's not like it was a contentious transaction.
Both sides got what they wanted, yes, Adam, but...
Victor never would have paid to get Newman Media back.
He's not gonna rest until he makes sure we didn't either.
No, he's not. That's why he brought Victoria in
to find out what he senses we're not telling him.
[sighs] We just have to trust that Sally and Audra
are gonna stick to the story.
As long as they do that, we are good.
There's no other way that the secret can get out.
Sally did tell you, didn't she?
Of course she told me.
But Spectra-Charles is Sally and Audra's company, not mine.
I don't get involved in the work arena.
Thank you. Well...
I guess it doesn't matter since you have
your own deal at Chancellor to focus on, right?
Yeah, speaking of...
I'm sure Lily hiring Cane as CEO stung the family a little bit.
And then, of course, he hired me.
I'm assuming your mother expected to be hired back as CEO
once your father got the company back?
My mother has enough on her plate right now.
You said Sally was on her way?
That's what she said.
Adam and Victor happy to have Newman Media back?
Contrary to what you and Phyllis believe,
that company was never hers or yours to take over.
And I'm more curious to find out how Adam and Chelsea
convinced Sally and Audra to let it go
without any compensation.
Well, I was gonna bring you a milkshake,
but I figured we could go--
-Victoria. Hi. -Hi.
-What are you doing here? -Victoria was just filling me in
on how Adam and Chelsea got Newman Media back.
I was just telling Billy how surprised I am
that you gave it up without asking for anything in return.
I mean, I was hoping that you could explain
exactly how that deal went down.
Yeah, I mean, it all happened so fast, actually.
Um, Adam and Chelsea told us
that Victor was planning an attack,
one that we realized we had little to no chance of winning,
and we feared that Newman Media wouldn't be his only target,
that he would come after Spectra-Charles
and we could potentially lose everything.
So we just gave Newman Media back.
That's it?
-Pretty much. -So Adam and Chelsea
reiterated my father's intentions,
and you willingly
gave up an invaluable asset without putting up a fight
or asking for any compensation in return.
Do I have that right?
Hello? Is anyone home?
Sweetheart, I'm right here.
-You all right? -Victor.
-Here, my love. -Can you help me?
Yes, my darling. Come here.
Come here.
How's that?
Fine. Thank you.
Do you need anything, like a blanket?
No, no. I-I don't need anything.
How are you feeling?
Well, if you must know,
I had a rough night last night...
...not being able to see after the bandages were removed.
I...
I wasn't as prepared for that as I thought I was.
I understand there was some kind of incident with the mirror?
[sighs] Ohh.
I should have known somebody from the staff
would run to you about that.
Sweetheart, don't blame them for that. They're concerned.
God forbid you step on some shard of glass.
If you have an accident like that again,
please let someone know.
Victor, you know it wasn't an accident.
I was frustrated and mad at the world
and I took it out on the mirror.
I understand now, okay?
But I believe this condition is temporary.
Well, I'm not holding out much hope.
My heart has already been broken enough.
Mirrors are much more easily fixed.
There is one thing we can count on.
-What's that? -The fact that Audra's
-such a good liar. -Hmm.
Sally is pretty convincing herself.
Still, I mean, counting on their corroboration
to convince my dad, I'm just...
I'm not sure that it's gonna be enough.
Well, what else can we do?
You showed the perfect amount of outrage and defiance
to make it look like our version of events is legit.
Well...
you gave an award-winning performance yourself.
It's not acting.
For me to stand up for you.
I...
will always have your back.
The same for you. With me.
You know, um...
the thing you said in there
about being a loyal soldier
and how you felt betrayed
about being overlooked for the CEO position?
-Mm-hmm. -That wasn't just acting either,
was it?
It just felt like there was more to it,
more than just selling Victor a story, like maybe
you were hurt that Victoria got the top spot over you?
Adam.
Look at me.
Does part of you wanna make a play
for the entire Newman empire?
[huffs] No, we did want something more,
which is why we initially approached Victor
and asked him to buy us out.
And I'm sure my father explained how foolish it would be
for him to pay for something that already belongs to him.
He pointed that out, yes, which is exactly why
we didn't ask Adam for anything
because we knew that he wouldn't agree to a deal
that went against his father's position.
So to save Spectra-Charles, we felt we had no choice
but to hand Newman Media back.
I'm sorry it came to this. I wasn't a party to any of it.
And to be honest with you, I don't care
whether we own Newman Media or not,
but it's important to my father
to reclaim what was taken from him.
So now that the score is settled,
I'm hoping that we can just move on
-and we can get back to work. -I would like nothing more.
Plus, I mean, you have a wedding to plan
and, uh, a baby on the way.
SALLY: Yes, we certainly do.
You two have a lot on your hands right now.
VICTORIA: Bye.
[sighs] Billy, I can explain.
Oh, yeah? Can you?
-Yes. -You know, unlike Victoria,
I actually do care who owns Newman Media,
because I worked very hard to give you that company.
Yes, I know, which is why I wanted you to know.
I assume this was the big news you were waiting to tell me?
Yes. It is why I came home. Because I didn't wanna wait.
But you did wait. Since I've been back,
you've been sitting on this.
I had to have Victoria come in here and tell me
instead of you--why? Because you're, what?
Too afraid to tell me?
Do you think that's what I want?
To unseat Victoria and take over Newman?
It would certainly serve Victor right after he passed you over,
denied you the top spot.
We had to fork over our own money
and lie about it just to get a smaller company in return
to run ourselves. I mean...
why wouldn't you wanna retaliate and go after all of it?
It sounds like you're asking
if I'm considering bringing Spider back
to seize control of Newman.
-Are you? -No.
I'm not, okay?
As much as I would love the validation and the power,
it--it would come at too high a cost, Chelsea.
Are you sure about that?
100%.
I want nothing more than to work side by side with you
and have time to spend as a family with Connor.
Would that...
would that be enough for you?
It would be more than enough.
The part of me that is Spider is in the past.
I don't wanna be him.
I wanna be me.
With you.
And Connor. As a happy family.
[sighs]
I am really relieved to hear you say that.
[laughs] That you don't wanna start a war
with your sister and Victor.
Well, for a second there, I thought you did want me
to go up against him.
No, I just--I--
I wanted to make sure
you weren't holding back because of me.
Never.
Though I do wish that we'd kept Newman Media
-for ourselves, though. -Why's that?
Because, folding it back into Newman
means it's under Dad's and Victoria's jurisdiction,
which means they have the power to take it away.
Anytime they want.
I was going to tell you earlier,
but you were so upset about the way you left things with Jill,
and you were consumed by the fact that you thought
she was keeping something from you.
So you decided to keep something from me?
No, that's not at all what I was doing. I came home
to tell you because I--because you gifted it to me, okay?
And I didn't want you to think that I'd forgotten that.
Well, clearly you have forgotten about it,
and then your decision to just hand it back to Adam,
of all people, Sally...
I knew that that was gonna bother you, okay?
But we did not have a choice. We had to act quickly.
Is that what he told you?
You have no idea what Victor was gonna do.
He threatened to level our company,
and I was not about to risk losing Spectra-Charles.
Please, do not be mad at me about this.
Oh, I'm mad. I am angry. I'm--I'm beyond angry.
And not at you. At Adam and Chelsea,
because they feel that they can just bully their way
into taking whatever they want. I'm not gonna let it stand.
The deal is done, Billy. There's nothing you can do.
Oh, you think so? Trust me. I'm gonna get Newman Media back.
-I don't want Newman Media back. -Why do you not want it back?
Billy, please!
Just leave it alone.
What else are you not telling me, Sally?
You need some more honey or lemon?
No, thank you.
-Okay. -Maybe this will calm my nerves.
[door opens]
I've just come from Sally and Billy's.
Mom?
Hello, Victoria.
How are you feeling?
I wish everybody would stop asking me that.
-I'm sorry. -For your information,
I am not fine.
I am angry. I'm scared.
I'm blind.
I can't see, and I don't know if I'm ever going to see again,
and that's all that you people need to know.
Do you need some help?
No. I can do it on my own.
Sweetheart! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
NIKKI: [crying]
-Calm down, my sweetheart. -I hate this.
Everyone's just concerned about you.
-I hate it! -Okay.
[crying]
