1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,040
Mom?
2
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:09,977
Yeah.
3
00:00:10,077 --> 00:00:12,012
Are you...okay?
4
00:00:12,112 --> 00:00:14,047
You got quiet.
5
00:00:14,147 --> 00:00:15,749
Did I?
6
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:17,784
Yeah. Kinda seems like you have
7
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:19,953
a lot on your mind.
8
00:00:20,053 --> 00:00:22,256
When there's silence,
I get scared.
9
00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:24,191
It usually means
that I'm in trouble
10
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:28,195
-or that you're upset with me.
-Why would I be upset with you?
11
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:30,130
Because I'm leaving town again.
12
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:32,499
Maybe just don't remind her.
13
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:35,135
-I said I was fine.
-No, I sprung the news on you,
14
00:00:35,235 --> 00:00:37,237
abrupt, out of the blue.
15
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:39,306
A lot to absorb?
16
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:42,776
Maybe now it's...sinking in?
17
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:47,581
So now you expect it's time
I have a different reaction?
18
00:00:47,681 --> 00:00:49,683
Well, I mean, you were
pretty reasonable earlier
19
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:51,151
when I told you.
20
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:54,087
You even said
it was a great idea.
21
00:00:54,187 --> 00:00:56,623
Well, it's been
a very eventful day.
22
00:00:56,723 --> 00:01:00,227
You are home, which I am
so happy about that,
23
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:02,029
and you are leaving,
and you know what?
24
00:01:02,129 --> 00:01:03,430
I'm just trying not to guilt.
25
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,933
Yeah, well, do your worst.
I dare you.
26
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:08,001
Okay.
27
00:01:08,101 --> 00:01:10,470
Yes, I hate it.
28
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:13,240
I hate it. A little.
29
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:16,076
Or maybe a little more
than that.
30
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:20,180
I'm sorry, look, I just
got used to having you home.
31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,183
The house is gonna feel so empty
without you and Faith there.
32
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:25,485
Yeah, well,
now you have Mariah back.
33
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:27,988
And I know that
I'm no firstborn son,
34
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,824
but, you know, I'm gonna be over
all the time,
35
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:34,127
probably too much, and Aria
is definitely looking forward
36
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,663
to sleepovers with her grandma.
37
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:40,033
And Christian will come by
and demand snacks,
38
00:01:40,133 --> 00:01:42,869
and, of course, Dad'll be around
once he's back.
39
00:01:43,503 --> 00:01:47,174
When are you planning to tell
your father about your plans?
40
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:50,510
I don't.
41
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,412
Wait--what do you mean?
42
00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:55,382
I don't want Dad to know.
Not while he's in rehab.
43
00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:57,751
That means no one
can say anything, okay?
44
00:01:57,851 --> 00:02:00,787
Nothing can get in the way
of Dad's recovery.
45
00:02:05,559 --> 00:02:06,994
Excuse me, uh,
46
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:10,297
could you find my doctor,
please?
47
00:02:10,397 --> 00:02:13,400
I could, uh, use something
for the cravings.
48
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,535
I'm kinda struggling.
49
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:19,072
Thank you.
50
00:02:27,681 --> 00:02:32,686
♪♪
51
00:03:00,147 --> 00:03:03,216
Grazie mille. Ciao.
52
00:03:03,316 --> 00:03:06,086
Oh, my Italian
is a little rusty.
53
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:07,854
It sounded good
from where I'm sitting.
54
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:09,122
Thank you, Mom.
55
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:11,391
So most of my contacts
are still in Florence
56
00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:13,093
but I do have a few in Venice,
57
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:15,595
and I'll be sure to give you
all of the information
58
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:17,264
before you and Daddy
leave on your trip.
59
00:03:17,364 --> 00:03:20,133
We do have some connections
to Italy.
60
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:21,768
You studied in Florence
61
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:24,037
and Summer is running
a company in Milan.
62
00:03:24,137 --> 00:03:25,839
You should try to
see her while you're there.
63
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:28,341
Well, maybe she can come
visit us in Venice.
64
00:03:28,442 --> 00:03:30,544
I'm just glad
that you and Dad are going.
65
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:33,080
I hope that he can give you
his full attention
66
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:37,851
while you're away and resist the
urge to do business from afar.
67
00:03:47,527 --> 00:03:50,297
Well, congratulations,
Billy Boy.
68
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:52,999
For what?
69
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,803
I understand Cane Ashby
threw you a few scraps...
70
00:03:58,271 --> 00:04:00,707
...now that you lost Chancellor
71
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:03,443
and are no longer in charge
of Newman Media.
72
00:04:04,778 --> 00:04:07,080
And of course you would prefer
I was in jail, right?
73
00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:08,815
That was the purpose
of naming me
74
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:11,184
in those fake AI emails?
75
00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:13,820
I appreciate that.
It was very sweet of you.
76
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,523
You conspired with Phyllis
77
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:19,826
to make a move on my company...
and you failed.
78
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:22,429
Oh, no, but Phyllis did
get the best of you, Victor.
79
00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:25,632
Oh, yeah?
I have my company back.
80
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,336
And you're looking for scraps
81
00:04:29,436 --> 00:04:31,238
at Cane Ashby's table.
82
00:04:31,338 --> 00:04:33,840
That must be--ooh--humiliating.
83
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,843
Begging for favors from a man
84
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:41,414
who made you look unworthy
in your mother's eyes?
85
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:45,685
Don't provoke me, okay?
Not today.
86
00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:55,428
I get it. You're feeling
pretty good about yourself, huh?
87
00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:58,064
You were able to manipulate
your way
88
00:04:58,165 --> 00:04:59,866
into putting Phyllis
back into her place,
89
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,768
but she did
get the best of you.
90
00:05:01,868 --> 00:05:04,504
And I know
that's gotta haunt you.
91
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:08,241
Billy Boy...
92
00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:10,744
I don't lose.
93
00:05:10,844 --> 00:05:14,447
You have always been a loser.
94
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,249
Yeah. No, you're right.
95
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,285
That is familiar territory
for me.
96
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,821
But all things considered,
Victor,
97
00:05:20,921 --> 00:05:23,056
my life is pretty great
right now.
98
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,192
So not even you can get to me.
99
00:05:25,292 --> 00:05:28,295
By the way,
how's your mother Jill?
100
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:32,732
I mean, it must be pretty
demeaning
101
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:35,368
for you to have to
look for scraps
102
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:38,104
under Cane Ashby's table
103
00:05:38,205 --> 00:05:40,740
when you and I damn well know
104
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:44,311
that Jill wishes
that Cane were her son.
105
00:05:44,411 --> 00:05:46,012
You mentioned Newman Media.
106
00:05:46,112 --> 00:05:48,582
Are you proud of your little
puppy dog son?
107
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,418
He was able to pull off
quite the coup for you, huh?
108
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:53,653
Although I think it was
a cheap shot going after Sally
109
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:55,188
and Spectra-Charles.
110
00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:57,891
Adam made sure that my company
was returned
111
00:05:57,991 --> 00:06:00,493
to its rightful owner
where it belongs.
112
00:06:00,594 --> 00:06:02,863
And all it took
was a little bullying
113
00:06:02,963 --> 00:06:05,498
and a big, fat check.
114
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:12,505
I understand you don't want to
upset your father,
115
00:06:12,606 --> 00:06:15,809
but I do think it's a mistake
to keep this from him.
116
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:18,879
I will tell him eventually,
just not now.
117
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:21,548
He needs to focus on his health
and getting clean.
118
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:24,117
And then when he's out,
we can have that conversation.
119
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,052
But he's going to wonder
120
00:06:26,152 --> 00:06:28,188
why you're not coming by
to see him.
121
00:06:28,288 --> 00:06:30,490
Well, I'll make up an excuse,
you know,
122
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:33,426
that I'm busy with work, I got
swamped at The Shadow Room.
123
00:06:33,526 --> 00:06:37,297
Except you'll be at the one
in LA, not--not here.
124
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:38,698
-Right.
-Okay.
125
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:41,201
Yeah. I think there are
a few holes in your plan.
126
00:06:41,301 --> 00:06:44,237
Your father is gonna notice
that something is off.
127
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:47,007
He'll be suspicious.
And then when he does find out,
128
00:06:47,107 --> 00:06:49,409
he's gonna be hurt
that you kept this from him.
129
00:06:49,509 --> 00:06:51,344
My mind's made up.
130
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:53,513
SIENNA: Hey.
131
00:06:53,613 --> 00:06:56,249
Mariah, hey! You're home.
132
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:58,418
Yes, I-I am.
133
00:06:58,518 --> 00:06:59,886
Oh, wow, how are you?
134
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:03,023
I'm good. I'm feeling better.
A lot better.
135
00:07:03,123 --> 00:07:06,493
Uh, still a work in progress
but very much improved.
136
00:07:06,593 --> 00:07:09,796
So, um, have you spoken with
Tessa?
137
00:07:09,896 --> 00:07:12,899
Yeah, I have. I'm actually
back living at home.
138
00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:14,534
SIENNA: That's great. Wow!
139
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:17,270
That's so great. Oh, God,
I'm so happy for you all.
140
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:19,639
Yeah, me too. Thank you.
141
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:22,442
So I assume
142
00:07:22,542 --> 00:07:24,744
Noah told you the news?
143
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:29,516
He did. I think it's a good idea
for both of you.
144
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:32,585
Now we're just debating on
what to...
145
00:07:32,686 --> 00:07:34,587
tell my dad and when.
146
00:07:34,688 --> 00:07:39,359
Well, that is your call
and probably your mom's.
147
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,828
Sharon, if now's not a bad time,
148
00:07:41,928 --> 00:07:43,930
could I speak with you
privately?
149
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:51,705
How was your visit with Nick?
150
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:54,507
I'd really like to
go see him myself.
151
00:07:54,607 --> 00:07:56,209
I'd give it some time.
152
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,244
How was he?
153
00:07:58,345 --> 00:08:01,247
Well, he seems fully committed
to his recovery,
154
00:08:01,348 --> 00:08:03,783
but he's in a fragile state.
155
00:08:03,883 --> 00:08:06,152
It's hard to see him that way.
156
00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:09,089
Part of me hates that
we're leaving town right now.
157
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:11,891
But you'll be here for him.
158
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,460
Absolutely.
159
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,396
Guess I can worry about him
in Venice as well as here.
160
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,098
Exactly.
161
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:20,533
[gasps]
162
00:08:20,633 --> 00:08:22,802
Boy, am I glad to see you.
163
00:08:22,902 --> 00:08:25,905
-No pun intended.
-Oh, my goodness.
164
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:28,174
So tell me,
am I a sight for sore eyes?
165
00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:30,076
You said that, not me.
166
00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:32,645
I'm so relieved
to see that you're okay.
167
00:08:32,746 --> 00:08:35,615
Kyle told me.
You got your sight back.
168
00:08:35,715 --> 00:08:38,151
Oh, I couldn't be happier
for you.
169
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:42,222
You know, for your information,
I didn't write a check.
170
00:08:43,456 --> 00:08:45,191
Sally and Audra
were smart enough
171
00:08:45,291 --> 00:08:47,727
to hand over Newman Media to me
172
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:49,729
before they lost everything.
173
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:52,198
Yeah, it's an interesting story.
I'm sure you prefer that one.
174
00:08:52,298 --> 00:08:54,267
But that's not--
that's not the truth.
175
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:57,737
Of course, you just assume
that everyone's gonna cower
176
00:08:57,837 --> 00:08:59,406
whenever you start
throwing around threats,
177
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:01,007
that they're just gonna fold
178
00:09:01,107 --> 00:09:03,877
because you claim to hold
all the cards.
179
00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:06,579
If I were you...
180
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,184
I would really listen
to your girlfriend Sally.
181
00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:14,354
She's very good at business.
You, not so much.
182
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:16,623
Yes, she is.
183
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:19,692
And you could learn a little bit
of something from Adam's deal,
184
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:24,130
you know, like who to trust
and who you can't trust.
185
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,699
You lost again.
186
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,135
I don't think you get it,
Victor.
187
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:31,604
Your son, Adam?
188
00:09:31,704 --> 00:09:34,974
He lied to you.
189
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:38,178
[chuckling]
190
00:09:42,882 --> 00:09:44,717
Is everything okay?
191
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:46,619
Yeah. I just...
192
00:09:46,719 --> 00:09:48,922
have a few things
I wanna say to your mom.
193
00:09:49,022 --> 00:09:50,957
It's nothing bad.
194
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:52,826
You sure you don't want me
to stick around?
195
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:54,260
I'm positive.
196
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,030
Uh, would you like to go inside?
197
00:09:57,130 --> 00:09:59,466
Um, Noah, um,
198
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:01,968
why don't we grab something
around the corner?
199
00:10:02,068 --> 00:10:04,904
-I can treat you to a drink?
-Yeah. That sounds great.
200
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:07,340
I can meet you back here later?
201
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,875
Yeah, that works.
202
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:18,518
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
make things weird.
203
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:21,054
No, no. Not at all.
204
00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:23,123
Can I get you something?
205
00:10:23,223 --> 00:10:26,259
Uh, you know, first, I just--
I wanna say two things.
206
00:10:27,527 --> 00:10:28,862
Thank you.
207
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,930
And I'm sorry.
208
00:10:32,765 --> 00:10:35,935
Mm. I cannot tell you how
wonderful it is to talk to you
209
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:37,871
-outside of a hospital room.
-And without bandages
210
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,973
on your eyes.
Thank God they're gone.
211
00:10:40,073 --> 00:10:42,175
She wouldn't be able to see
how good I look today.
212
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:44,511
You're really okay?
Are you in pain?
213
00:10:44,611 --> 00:10:47,046
-Do you need to sit down?
-You are fussing.
214
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:50,049
Well, the last time I saw you,
you weren't allowed to walk.
215
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:51,384
And look at me today,
216
00:10:51,484 --> 00:10:53,186
wandering aimlessly
around Chancellor Park.
217
00:10:53,286 --> 00:10:55,054
And I can actually
see you do that.
218
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,556
Your mother's an amazing woman.
219
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:59,125
Don't I know it?
I just hope the two of you
220
00:10:59,225 --> 00:11:01,828
can manage to stay out of
hospitals for a little while.
221
00:11:01,928 --> 00:11:04,898
Yeah. I think we've both had
our fill of that.
222
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:06,666
-How is Diane?
-Diane's fine.
223
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:08,701
The digitalis
doesn't seem to have had
224
00:11:08,801 --> 00:11:10,203
any long-term effects on her.
225
00:11:10,303 --> 00:11:12,505
-Oh, thank goodness.
-Thank goodness. Let's hope
226
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:15,475
that the ordeals for both of
our families are finally over
227
00:11:15,575 --> 00:11:17,443
and that the Newmans
and the Abbotts
228
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:20,847
can finally find some peace.
229
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:27,120
Kindly check your facts, okay?
You're spewing nonsense.
230
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,923
No, I'm not. I know
you didn't write the check,
231
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:31,858
but your son sure as hell did.
232
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:34,527
And it was a big one
with a lot of zeroes.
233
00:11:34,627 --> 00:11:36,896
It was probably even your money.
234
00:11:36,996 --> 00:11:40,700
Yeah, Adam paid Sally and Audra
to return Newman Media,
235
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,902
and he didn't want you
to know about it.
236
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:45,371
-Why would he do that?
-I don't know.
237
00:11:45,471 --> 00:11:47,674
I mean, I don't know what that
says about your relationship
238
00:11:47,774 --> 00:11:49,576
that he would wanna
protect himself from your wrath.
239
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:51,477
I mean, he's gotta know
that you don't like
240
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:53,479
when people go
behind your back.
241
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,616
Maybe he was looking for an
"atta boy," you know, from Pops.
242
00:11:56,716 --> 00:12:00,119
Ultimately, all he did was
way overpay for the company.
243
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:03,423
Interesting hypothesis.
244
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:04,991
You're walking around
like you scored
245
00:12:05,091 --> 00:12:06,659
the biggest coup of the century
246
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:10,363
and yet Sally, a young upstart,
got the better of you.
247
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:14,067
You know, Billy Boy,
when all has been said and done,
248
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:17,937
if I were you, I would focus on
my own circumstances, all right?
249
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:20,707
Lily made an egregious mistake
when she appointed you
250
00:12:20,807 --> 00:12:22,842
and Cane Ashby
to run Chancellor.
251
00:12:22,942 --> 00:12:25,612
Yeah, but it's Lily's company
now because you gave it to her.
252
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:28,548
So she can do
whatever the hell she wants.
253
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:30,416
Of course she can.
254
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:32,585
Just remember one thing.
255
00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:35,989
Cane Ashby is the more competent
businessman.
256
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,358
You're not.
257
00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:41,027
But you will manage
to screw things up,
258
00:12:41,127 --> 00:12:44,764
and it's up to me
to clean up the mess...
259
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,566
as always.
260
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:54,607
You have a good day, all right?
261
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:59,746
Be prepared to lose...again.
262
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,382
I always am.
263
00:13:13,393 --> 00:13:15,928
You don't have anything
to apologize for.
264
00:13:16,029 --> 00:13:20,333
Oh...ha. Please, just let me--
let me say this.
265
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:24,070
Okay? I just...
I really wanna thank you
266
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:25,972
for all your kindness
and hospitality
267
00:13:26,072 --> 00:13:27,740
that you've shown to me.
268
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,043
I mean, I know
I'm not your favorite person.
269
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:33,346
And I know that you and Nick
were really wary of me,
270
00:13:33,446 --> 00:13:34,881
especially in the beginning.
271
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:38,351
Which is completely warranted,
given my marriage to Matt
272
00:13:38,451 --> 00:13:42,121
and my involvement with Noah,
which put him in danger.
273
00:13:42,221 --> 00:13:44,424
And the fact that you
274
00:13:44,524 --> 00:13:48,161
allowed me to move into
your house and...
275
00:13:48,261 --> 00:13:51,531
the lengths you've gone to
to keep me safe...
276
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:54,600
You know, and seeing
how much you love your son
277
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:58,604
and how you just extended
that love to me, I--
278
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:03,376
I'm never gonna forget it.
279
00:14:05,244 --> 00:14:08,214
And I didn't really come from
much security,
280
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:11,918
so it's kinda hard for me
to trust people.
281
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:15,355
Well, the Newman world
282
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:18,858
is very different
than my childhood too.
283
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:21,994
I know that it can be hard
to feel accepted.
284
00:14:22,095 --> 00:14:25,498
Yeah, but you did.
You didn't have to accept me...
285
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:28,601
in Noah's life or yours,
and you did, and I so,
286
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,370
so appreciate that.
287
00:14:32,972 --> 00:14:35,575
Okay. And about LA--
288
00:14:35,675 --> 00:14:38,478
Oh, Noah told me.
It's what he wants.
289
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:40,847
Okay, I didn't ask him
to come with me.
290
00:14:40,947 --> 00:14:43,950
I actually tried to convince him
to stay, and he--
291
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:46,185
I told him I could go alone.
I don't want you to think
292
00:14:46,285 --> 00:14:48,020
that I'm trying to take him
away from you.
293
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:50,957
Nobody thinks that.
294
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:53,526
You know,
I appreciate your honesty
295
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:55,495
and I can see how much
you love Noah,
296
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:57,130
and I'm really grateful.
297
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:59,966
Maybe it makes it a little
easier for me to let him go
298
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:02,001
knowing that
you'll be watching him.
299
00:15:02,101 --> 00:15:04,303
Oh, absolutely.
300
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:08,341
Also, he's so determined
to push Matt away
301
00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:11,110
now that Matt doesn't really
seem to wanna leave,
302
00:15:11,210 --> 00:15:13,112
I think I would feel better
knowing
303
00:15:13,212 --> 00:15:15,548
that they are
in different towns.
304
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:17,617
Yeah, well, it probably...
305
00:15:17,717 --> 00:15:19,919
would be safer.
306
00:15:20,019 --> 00:15:23,089
I understand
why you wanna leave.
307
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:25,958
You were Matt's victim too.
308
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:29,662
Not like you were.
309
00:15:32,198 --> 00:15:36,235
But I do...I do think
that I realize that I just...
310
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:40,740
It's too hard
to be around him again.
311
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,309
That's why I just can't stay.
312
00:15:46,212 --> 00:15:48,581
Feel good being back?
313
00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:51,150
Yeah. I do.
314
00:15:52,185 --> 00:15:55,788
I didn't know how long
I would be away
315
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,558
or if I would ever be
in a place to return.
316
00:15:58,658 --> 00:16:01,828
-I never doubted you.
-Thanks.
317
00:16:02,528 --> 00:16:04,897
You know, if you weren't
back in town,
318
00:16:04,997 --> 00:16:08,000
I don't think you could have
pulled me out of there.
319
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,570
Yeah, I was gonna say
you kinda looked a little
320
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:11,804
deer-in-the-headlights.
321
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:14,273
Yeah. Mom's never been
Sienna's biggest fan.
322
00:16:14,373 --> 00:16:17,443
Well, maybe this is a chance
for them to talk it out,
323
00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:19,679
see each other's point of view?
324
00:16:19,779 --> 00:16:21,714
I bet you don't miss
the family drama.
325
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:24,884
I missed the family.
326
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:27,954
Drama comes with the territory.
327
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:30,189
You know?
I know I needed my space,
328
00:16:30,289 --> 00:16:32,558
but I also needed them too.
329
00:16:33,693 --> 00:16:36,429
Sorry. Sorry, that wasn't
a guilt trip or anything.
330
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:38,598
I know, I know, I know.
331
00:16:38,698 --> 00:16:40,533
You must have missed Aria
so much.
332
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:42,768
And Tessa.
333
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,204
Yeah. And the people
I left behind.
334
00:16:48,441 --> 00:16:50,009
You okay?
335
00:16:52,745 --> 00:16:55,581
You know, I--
I've been waiting all day
336
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:58,284
for someone to try to
talk me out of leaving.
337
00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:01,387
Do you want me to?
338
00:17:01,487 --> 00:17:04,023
It's the right decision for me.
339
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:05,625
But it's hard to leave.
340
00:17:05,725 --> 00:17:08,594
Mom's...dealt with so much,
341
00:17:08,694 --> 00:17:10,496
you know, and Dad...
342
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:12,298
I just feel like
I'm leaving them hanging.
343
00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:15,101
No. You're not.
344
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:17,837
If they really,
really needed you here
345
00:17:17,937 --> 00:17:20,273
they would ask you to stay.
346
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:22,508
But I haven't told my dad.
347
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:24,544
Yet.
348
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:28,047
This ordeal with Matt--
we just don't know if it's over.
349
00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:30,116
Because he could turn
at any moment,
350
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:32,552
-become the person he was?
-Possibly.
351
00:17:32,652 --> 00:17:37,023
Maybe his turnaround
really is real, and then what?
352
00:17:37,123 --> 00:17:39,992
We're still stuck with his face
for the rest of our lives.
353
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,596
You know, I was ready
to run the guy outta town
354
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:46,732
-and now I'm running.
-Noah, you're not running.
355
00:17:46,832 --> 00:17:49,001
You're making a...
356
00:17:49,101 --> 00:17:53,005
a rational, sane decision to put
distance between the two of you.
357
00:17:53,105 --> 00:17:58,477
And I know what it's like to
be haunted by a maniac, and...
358
00:18:00,046 --> 00:18:02,815
I'm just sorry for everything
that you went through
359
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,685
and I'm sorry
that I wasn't there for you.
360
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:08,287
I feel the same way about you.
361
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:13,826
Jack, I really am happy
that you're doing so well.
362
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:15,895
I'm relieved.
Your family must be too.
363
00:18:15,995 --> 00:18:17,897
Thank you, Victoria.
364
00:18:17,997 --> 00:18:19,732
I'm sure you two have
a lot to talk about,
365
00:18:19,832 --> 00:18:23,069
and I have to get to the office,
unless you want me to stay, Mom.
366
00:18:23,169 --> 00:18:26,439
No, I'll be okay.
You're off-duty, remember?
367
00:18:26,539 --> 00:18:27,940
You'll look after her, right?
368
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,742
Count on it. Take care.
369
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:33,245
Have a seat.
370
00:18:33,346 --> 00:18:34,814
So...
371
00:18:35,881 --> 00:18:37,683
So...
372
00:18:37,783 --> 00:18:41,253
So I am curious about one thing.
It's a bit of a sticky subject.
373
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:43,990
I don't wanna ruin
our good moods.
374
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:47,026
Well, just spit it out, Jack.
375
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,395
Now that you have
your eyesight back,
376
00:18:49,495 --> 00:18:52,965
how are things
between you and Grumpy?
377
00:18:57,737 --> 00:18:59,705
[door opens]
378
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,641
Pop?
379
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:06,712
What's with the emergency
summons? Everything all right?
380
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:13,719
I heard that, uh,
Nikki got her eyesight back.
381
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:16,555
That's, uh, that's amazing news.
382
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:20,292
Yeah. It's wonderful news.
383
00:19:22,428 --> 00:19:24,797
But that's not why
I asked you to come by.
384
00:19:26,365 --> 00:19:28,834
-Something wrong?
-Well, I hear that
385
00:19:28,934 --> 00:19:32,338
you paid Audra and Sally
a lotta money...
386
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,043
...to reclaim Newman Media.
387
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:41,647
You didn't tell me about that.
388
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:53,893
You know, when I was in London
389
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:56,028
and Mom went through everything
with Ian Ward,
390
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:58,731
it killed me not to be there
for her.
391
00:19:58,831 --> 00:20:02,134
Yeah. I went through
392
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:05,705
a lot of self-blame and guilt
about Ian too.
393
00:20:06,739 --> 00:20:09,642
Plus what Mom went through
with Cameron
394
00:20:09,742 --> 00:20:11,610
and Faith too.
395
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:13,779
I...I made a promise to myself
396
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,215
that I would find a way
to be around more.
397
00:20:16,315 --> 00:20:18,718
But then
when you were struggling,
398
00:20:18,818 --> 00:20:22,021
I was so consumed with what was
going on with Matt Clark
399
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:24,924
that I wasn't even aware
how bad things were.
400
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:27,593
I know, but a lot of that
was kept from you.
401
00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:30,763
Still, I wish I had been
a better brother.
402
00:20:30,863 --> 00:20:32,565
You're okay.
403
00:20:32,665 --> 00:20:34,300
We're okay. I mean,
404
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,436
-it's been a rough time.
-Yeah, no kidding.
405
00:20:37,536 --> 00:20:41,307
But I am proud of you for making
the right decision for you.
406
00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:44,577
I just wish you didn't feel
so much guilt about it.
407
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:46,545
Well, leaving town
while my dad's in rehab
408
00:20:46,645 --> 00:20:48,514
is not a great look.
409
00:20:50,382 --> 00:20:52,618
Are you afraid to face him?
410
00:20:53,786 --> 00:20:55,554
I just...
411
00:20:55,654 --> 00:20:58,924
I don't wanna
mess anything up for him.
412
00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:01,026
I'm proud of you too.
413
00:21:01,127 --> 00:21:03,195
All the work you've done.
414
00:21:03,295 --> 00:21:05,598
And I feel better knowing that
415
00:21:05,698 --> 00:21:08,667
you'll be here for Mom
while I'm gone.
416
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:11,837
I'm not gonna lie.
417
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:14,340
A little--little bit insulting,
418
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,576
you know, I come back
and then like, bam--you leave.
419
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:20,579
-Immediately?
-Yeah. Not cool.
420
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:22,448
It's not cool at all!
421
00:21:24,483 --> 00:21:26,218
I'm gonna miss you.
422
00:21:26,318 --> 00:21:27,920
I'm gonna miss you too.
423
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:30,289
And come visit us, please.
424
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:33,793
You and Tessa.
And bring my adorable niece.
425
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:35,761
You can count on it.
426
00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:40,666
You know, I just don't know
what to make of this new Matt.
427
00:21:40,766 --> 00:21:42,768
You know?
428
00:21:42,868 --> 00:21:46,672
Seeing him this way,
kind and gentle and...
429
00:21:46,772 --> 00:21:48,741
charming, you know,
in a genuine way
430
00:21:48,841 --> 00:21:51,944
and not a dangerous one,
it just...
431
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:54,480
it brings back old feelings.
432
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:57,283
For him?
433
00:21:57,383 --> 00:22:01,720
It's a reminder of what I was
attracted to originally.
434
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:05,457
You know, um, better,
happier times.
435
00:22:05,558 --> 00:22:07,493
Okay, so...
436
00:22:07,593 --> 00:22:10,896
Matt, he was--he was always
temperamental, right?
437
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:12,865
He was always temperamental.
He was always intense.
438
00:22:12,965 --> 00:22:14,533
But he never hurt me.
439
00:22:14,633 --> 00:22:18,337
I mean, he lied to me.
He was controlling, yeah, but...
440
00:22:18,437 --> 00:22:20,539
he never physically hurt me.
441
00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:22,575
Not when I knew him as Mitch.
442
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:26,111
Well, still...
you were the victim
443
00:22:26,212 --> 00:22:28,614
of a bad situation.
444
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:31,717
Yeah, I was. I mean,
it was all lies, right?
445
00:22:31,817 --> 00:22:34,086
He was pretending to be
someone else.
446
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,055
But now he will
stand in front of me
447
00:22:36,155 --> 00:22:40,492
and he will be speaking,
and it sounds so sincere, and...
448
00:22:40,593 --> 00:22:43,028
and Noah and I,
we argue about Matt
449
00:22:43,128 --> 00:22:47,299
and who he really is now,
what he's become.
450
00:22:47,399 --> 00:22:49,001
I just--I don't know.
451
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:52,104
It's hard for any of us
to know for sure.
452
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,841
I thought I could do it, Sharon.
453
00:22:55,941 --> 00:22:58,244
I thought--
I thought I could stay here.
454
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:03,482
But now I just--
I feel this need to escape.
455
00:23:03,582 --> 00:23:06,285
And I'm--listen,
it's my instinct to run.
456
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:10,322
It's part of my DNA,
but I just have...
457
00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:13,893
this urge to go,
and it is so strong.
458
00:23:13,993 --> 00:23:17,396
You don't need to stay someplace
where you don't feel safe,
459
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:20,099
and you don't need to
justify that to me.
460
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,669
Yeah. I...
461
00:23:23,769 --> 00:23:26,138
maybe I'd feel better
if I was just going alone.
462
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:30,109
If you were going alone,
Noah would be heartbroken.
463
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:34,947
You know, you're being
incredibly understanding
464
00:23:35,047 --> 00:23:36,849
about all of this.
465
00:23:36,949 --> 00:23:40,519
Well, I know a little something
about your position.
466
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:44,890
I was once not good enough
for Nicholas,
467
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:47,026
especially not
in his mother's eyes
468
00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:48,761
when we were dating.
469
00:23:48,861 --> 00:23:52,264
And then when we were married,
I was in trouble.
470
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:54,867
-Yeah?
-I dealt with the judgment
471
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:56,835
and the seething.
472
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,637
Okay, well, you never
did that to me.
473
00:23:58,737 --> 00:24:00,773
Well--
474
00:24:00,873 --> 00:24:02,608
-[both laughing]
-Okay, maybe there was
475
00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:05,377
a hint of judgment--just a hint.
476
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:10,149
You know, I'm going to miss
Noah, but I do see the toll
477
00:24:10,249 --> 00:24:12,651
that Matt's presence has taken
on the both of you.
478
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:14,653
And I resent that it seems like
479
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:18,190
he's running you both
out of town, but...
480
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:21,060
you deserve to live your life
on your own terms.
481
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:23,729
What about you?
482
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:26,465
How are you feeling,
seeing Matt?
483
00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:29,668
I...really don't know
484
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:32,938
what to make of it all, but...
485
00:24:33,038 --> 00:24:36,175
I'm not going to let him
get the best of me.
486
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:38,243
Or disrupt my life.
487
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:43,816
You know, I really...
488
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:46,485
I really think
it might be possible
489
00:24:46,585 --> 00:24:48,520
that he is as harmless
490
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:50,456
as he claims to be.
491
00:24:50,556 --> 00:24:54,493
Maybe. But we don't
know that for sure, do we?
492
00:24:54,593 --> 00:24:56,161
No.
493
00:24:57,629 --> 00:24:59,465
Oh, you guys are back.
494
00:24:59,565 --> 00:25:02,001
Yeah. Did you two
get a chance to talk?
495
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:03,936
We did.
496
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:07,506
Well...
497
00:25:07,606 --> 00:25:09,975
Yeah, yeah, I think Sienna
and I should probably go.
498
00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:12,444
We have a lot to prep
for the move.
499
00:25:12,544 --> 00:25:14,980
Um, when are you leaving?
500
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,782
Day or so.
501
00:25:16,882 --> 00:25:18,884
Noah, I really think you should
502
00:25:18,984 --> 00:25:21,286
tell your father
about your plans and don't wait.
503
00:25:21,387 --> 00:25:23,522
-He needs to know.
-Oh, yeah.
504
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:25,891
I-I'm with your mom
on this one.
505
00:25:25,991 --> 00:25:27,760
Yeah, me too.
506
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,762
You need to tell him the truth.
507
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,897
And you need to say goodbye.
508
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,136
Victor and I have reconciled.
509
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:40,105
And now that I have
my eyes back,
510
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:43,475
I can see the disappointment
in yours.
511
00:25:43,575 --> 00:25:44,877
And now you're wincing.
512
00:25:44,977 --> 00:25:47,179
I am listening
with an open mind.
513
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:50,182
Well, he really stepped up
during this whole ordeal
514
00:25:50,282 --> 00:25:52,217
-with my eyes.
-Well, I'd like to think
515
00:25:52,317 --> 00:25:54,053
there's no question
that he would.
516
00:25:54,153 --> 00:25:56,455
And being together at the ranch
helped.
517
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:57,923
In close proximity,
518
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:00,225
the two of you started
reexamining your positions.
519
00:26:00,325 --> 00:26:03,662
He has been very caring
and attentive.
520
00:26:03,762 --> 00:26:06,965
I could see that
he's still devoted to me
521
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:10,903
and we were able to find the
love that we still had again.
522
00:26:11,003 --> 00:26:13,372
Nikki, you were so angry at him.
523
00:26:13,472 --> 00:26:16,108
You were at your limit.
You had had it with him.
524
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:18,811
Yes, that is all true.
525
00:26:20,345 --> 00:26:21,914
He wouldn't see reason.
526
00:26:22,014 --> 00:26:24,783
I was not willing
to give him a second chance.
527
00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:28,787
But somehow, we managed
to bend our wills a little.
528
00:26:28,887 --> 00:26:30,622
I'm almost afraid to ask this.
529
00:26:30,722 --> 00:26:32,491
Do you still believe
he went too far
530
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,093
in what he did with Patty?
531
00:26:34,193 --> 00:26:36,829
Oh, absolutely. He never
should have brought that woman
532
00:26:36,929 --> 00:26:38,230
back into our lives.
533
00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:39,932
But he would do it again
in a heartbeat,
534
00:26:40,032 --> 00:26:43,669
especially knowing that
you would now stay with him.
535
00:26:43,769 --> 00:26:45,504
Nothing has changed.
536
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:48,740
Victor is going to do
what Victor is going to do,
537
00:26:48,841 --> 00:26:52,611
no matter how many people he
hurts, even the ones he loves.
538
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,616
Where are you getting this--
this information?
539
00:27:01,954 --> 00:27:04,123
Son, that's irrelevant, okay?
540
00:27:04,223 --> 00:27:07,259
The question is,
if it's true, I mean...
541
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,195
how much did you pay for it
and where'd you get the money?
542
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:13,132
Okay, we have Newman Media back.
543
00:27:13,232 --> 00:27:15,601
Chelsea and I were fine
to part with this,
544
00:27:15,701 --> 00:27:18,470
but I fought to get it back...
545
00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:21,773
because that's what you wanted.
546
00:27:21,874 --> 00:27:25,110
I had to hear about this
from Billy Boy Abbott.
547
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:27,779
Not from my own son.
548
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,316
Why would you believe Billy
over me?
549
00:27:31,416 --> 00:27:34,153
I've been around.
550
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:36,388
You're not denying
the accusation.
551
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:38,123
So...
552
00:27:38,223 --> 00:27:40,993
is it true or not?
553
00:27:52,905 --> 00:27:54,406
-Hey.
-Hey.
554
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,309
Thanks for seeing me.
I realize this is short notice
555
00:27:57,409 --> 00:27:59,611
and Mom mentioned that you
didn't want too many visitors.
556
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:02,314
It's all right.
Sounded important.
557
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:05,884
First, uh, how you doing?
558
00:28:05,984 --> 00:28:09,021
You know, just, uh,
taking it one day at a time.
559
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:12,057
Do you have news about Matt
or something?
560
00:28:12,157 --> 00:28:14,626
No, no. This isn't about Matt.
561
00:28:14,726 --> 00:28:16,762
Well, not directly anyway.
562
00:28:16,862 --> 00:28:19,731
All right. What's up?
563
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:25,704
I decided to go back to LA
with Sienna.
564
00:28:25,804 --> 00:28:27,906
We plan to stay there
for a while,
565
00:28:28,006 --> 00:28:30,809
work on The Shadow Room there.
566
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:36,014
Cool. Uh...
567
00:28:36,114 --> 00:28:38,317
You guys gonna, uh,
run it together?
568
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:40,586
Yeah, make sure
it's in good shape.
569
00:28:41,486 --> 00:28:45,424
The truth is, Sienna needed
a break from being around Matt.
570
00:28:45,524 --> 00:28:47,693
We both do.
571
00:28:49,294 --> 00:28:51,296
I realize the timing
couldn't be worse.
572
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:55,434
-Noah--
-No, no, I--
573
00:28:55,534 --> 00:28:58,637
I don't wanna do anything
to mess with your recovery.
574
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,606
Okay? I...
575
00:29:00,706 --> 00:29:04,543
I feel terrible
leaving Mom with Matt
576
00:29:04,643 --> 00:29:06,478
living near her on the ranch,
you know,
577
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:08,280
leaving Christian and you.
578
00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:10,649
And so if it's too much for you,
you just say so,
579
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:12,818
and I don't have to go.
I'll stay.
580
00:29:15,621 --> 00:29:17,322
Well, tell me, son.
581
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:21,560
How did this deal
for Newman Media come about?
582
00:29:22,794 --> 00:29:25,731
Did you go to Sally
and conspire with her
583
00:29:25,831 --> 00:29:28,533
or did she outwit you?
584
00:29:28,634 --> 00:29:31,903
Sally isn't to blame
for any of this.
585
00:29:32,004 --> 00:29:34,206
-Hey.
-Hey. Hi, Dad.
586
00:29:34,306 --> 00:29:37,476
I spoke with Mom and I, um,
I helped her plan out
587
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:40,245
some of the itinerary
for your trip to Italy.
588
00:29:40,345 --> 00:29:42,447
You and Nikki
are going to Italy?
589
00:29:42,547 --> 00:29:44,316
-Yeah.
-I think it's gonna be
590
00:29:44,416 --> 00:29:46,418
so great for you.
591
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:49,788
Thank you for giving your
marriage another chance, Daddy.
592
00:29:49,888 --> 00:29:52,691
I'm happy for you both.
593
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:54,760
I'm gonna take off.
594
00:29:54,860 --> 00:29:57,829
Son, I'm still waiting
for an answer.
595
00:29:57,929 --> 00:30:00,732
And I am still waiting
for some gratitude.
596
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:03,402
Okay? Why don't you just focus
on the positives for once?
597
00:30:03,502 --> 00:30:05,170
We have Newman Media back,
598
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:07,272
and instead of second-guessing
me at every turn
599
00:30:07,372 --> 00:30:10,175
why don't you just
congratulate me?
600
00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:13,445
We're not done with this.
601
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:15,947
Guess not.
602
00:30:18,517 --> 00:30:20,485
What was that about?
603
00:30:22,888 --> 00:30:24,423
NIKKI: What Victor did to you
604
00:30:24,523 --> 00:30:26,625
-was unforgivable.
-Yet that's exactly
605
00:30:26,725 --> 00:30:28,393
what you've done--
you've forgiven him.
606
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,195
You know, I hate being put
in the position
607
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:32,064
to choose between
the two of you.
608
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:35,100
Victor is the one
who made you choose--not me.
609
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,936
Look, I'm just trying to
keep myself out of this.
610
00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:40,238
Your needs come first.
611
00:30:40,339 --> 00:30:42,507
-But you're hurt, Jack.
-No, I'm--I'm...
612
00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:47,012
I'm confused
and disappointed, yes.
613
00:30:47,112 --> 00:30:49,114
That man has brought
more pain to your life,
614
00:30:49,214 --> 00:30:50,482
more stress...
615
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:52,818
There has also been joy.
616
00:30:52,918 --> 00:30:54,853
He just told me recently
617
00:30:54,953 --> 00:30:57,456
that he loves me
more than he hates you,
618
00:30:57,556 --> 00:30:59,691
and I told him
he was going to have to
619
00:30:59,791 --> 00:31:02,694
accept my friendship with you,
and he agreed.
620
00:31:02,794 --> 00:31:05,197
He agreed to end the fight.
621
00:31:05,297 --> 00:31:09,501
Well, that's good to hear,
and I won't discount that.
622
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:11,970
But not completely.
623
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:15,173
But do we really trust
that he's sincere?
624
00:31:25,016 --> 00:31:27,252
-So you're leaving.
-You know what, forget it.
625
00:31:27,352 --> 00:31:29,554
I'll cancel my plans.
I'll tell Sienna I can't go.
626
00:31:29,654 --> 00:31:32,257
No, don't do that, son,
all right? Just...
627
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:34,593
just give me a second.
628
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:39,398
I wasn't expecting to hear this.
629
00:31:39,498 --> 00:31:41,767
You know, I always knew
630
00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:44,102
that Sienna eventually
might make her way back to LA,
631
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:45,504
and I always knew
there was a chance
632
00:31:45,604 --> 00:31:48,206
-that you would go with her.
-Please don't blame Sienna.
633
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:50,809
I promise this was my decision.
634
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:52,511
I don't blame her.
635
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:55,013
I respect your decision.
636
00:31:55,113 --> 00:31:57,048
Really?
637
00:31:57,149 --> 00:31:59,651
Yeah. I mean, of course
I don't want you to go.
638
00:32:01,186 --> 00:32:03,655
I like having you around,
you know?
639
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,390
I mean, you're kinda cool.
640
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:07,659
[chuckles] Thanks.
641
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,528
It's not permanent.
642
00:32:09,628 --> 00:32:12,697
It's just what we need to do
for now.
643
00:32:12,798 --> 00:32:14,800
-You tell your mother this?
-I did.
644
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:16,568
And she insisted
I come and tell you.
645
00:32:17,903 --> 00:32:20,972
-How'd she take it?
-Like you.
646
00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:23,809
Sad but accepting.
647
00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:26,745
We just want what's best
for you, dude.
648
00:32:26,845 --> 00:32:29,247
-I feel bad.
-Don't.
649
00:32:30,816 --> 00:32:33,652
You live your life
the way you want to.
650
00:32:33,752 --> 00:32:37,055
You're my best friend.
You know that.
651
00:32:37,155 --> 00:32:39,257
You're my best friend too.
652
00:32:39,357 --> 00:32:42,527
And I'm not gonna try and talk
you out of this, you know?
653
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:44,596
If this is what you want...
654
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:46,398
so be it.
655
00:32:47,332 --> 00:32:48,867
Thanks, Dad.
656
00:32:50,502 --> 00:32:52,771
Come on, bring it in.
657
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:57,108
I promise to stay in touch.
658
00:32:57,209 --> 00:32:59,778
Please just keep doing
what you're doing.
659
00:32:59,878 --> 00:33:02,781
-Stay the course.
-I will.
660
00:33:02,881 --> 00:33:04,416
And if you need anything,
or Mom...
661
00:33:04,516 --> 00:33:06,618
We're gonna be fine.
662
00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:09,654
I love you, Dad.
663
00:33:09,754 --> 00:33:13,225
I love you too.
664
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:16,495
No. Not yet. Not yet.
665
00:33:20,899 --> 00:33:23,101
You don't worry about me,
all right? I'm a Newman.
666
00:33:23,201 --> 00:33:25,136
So are you.
667
00:33:41,987 --> 00:33:43,955
Believe me, the last thing
I want right now
668
00:33:44,055 --> 00:33:46,892
is to focus on my hatred
for Victor.
669
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:48,793
I'm recovering.
Diane's recovering.
670
00:33:48,894 --> 00:33:50,996
You are a medical miracle.
671
00:33:51,096 --> 00:33:53,265
Well, I just wanna say that
672
00:33:53,365 --> 00:33:56,468
I know you have held back
with Victor in the past
673
00:33:56,568 --> 00:34:01,406
for my sake,
and I really appreciate that.
674
00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:03,508
You're welcome.
675
00:34:03,608 --> 00:34:05,744
And for the record,
676
00:34:05,844 --> 00:34:08,146
I only went back with Victor
because
677
00:34:08,246 --> 00:34:11,216
I thought that he meant what
he said about ending the feud.
678
00:34:11,316 --> 00:34:13,952
I'm sorry I doubted you.
679
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:15,987
And, yes, a part of me
was hoping
680
00:34:16,087 --> 00:34:17,956
that you would leave him
for good.
681
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,292
I know you love him.
682
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:23,828
I hope you can accept
my decision.
683
00:34:23,929 --> 00:34:25,897
I will try.
684
00:34:30,201 --> 00:34:32,737
You see that bird over there?
685
00:34:32,837 --> 00:34:35,440
I think that's a mourning dove.
686
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:38,944
Yeah. A symbol of peace.
687
00:34:40,478 --> 00:34:43,014
That's what I want
for all of us.
688
00:34:43,114 --> 00:34:45,283
Peace for both our families.
689
00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:48,420
Can we dare to hope
it's possible?
690
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:55,961
Hate to tell you, my darling,
but it seems that our suspicions
691
00:34:56,061 --> 00:34:58,096
about Newman Media
692
00:34:58,196 --> 00:34:59,631
are correct.
693
00:35:00,799 --> 00:35:03,568
You think Adam paid for it?
694
00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:06,071
Billy Boy Abbott told me
695
00:35:06,171 --> 00:35:09,207
that Adam forked out
a lot of money
696
00:35:09,307 --> 00:35:12,077
for a company we should have
gotten back for free.
697
00:35:13,078 --> 00:35:15,347
So you think that
Billy's telling the truth
698
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:19,517
and that Adam lied about
how he got back Newman Media?
699
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:24,789
Sally, Billy has been
running his mouth.
700
00:35:24,889 --> 00:35:26,992
He told my dad about the deal,
701
00:35:27,092 --> 00:35:29,260
and that was not
part of our arrangement.
702
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:32,030
So you tell your fiancé
if he's looking for a fight,
703
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,032
he's got one.
