00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:15,047
Why me?
[ Breathing heavily ]
166
00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:28,427
[ Exhales sharply ]
167
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:36,802
>> Ashland: Thank you for taking
168
00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:40,139
this time with me.
You didn't have to.
169
00:10:40,206 --> 00:10:42,675
I'm sure you'd rather be at the
office right now, running our
170
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:45,845
company.
>> Victoria: I know I can count
171
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:49,982
on my mom to handle things until
I get in.
172
00:10:50,049 --> 00:10:53,819
>> Ashland: Did you stay at the
ranch last night?
173
00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:58,724
>> Victoria: I needed time to
think.
174
00:10:58,791 --> 00:11:02,495
>> Billy: Stop, stop, stop.
Victoria's talking to Ashland.
175
00:11:02,561 --> 00:11:05,131
Do not interrupt them.
I'm hoping she's about to throw
176
00:11:05,197 --> 00:11:08,567
that hot cup of coffee in his
face.
177
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:12,838
>> Nick: How much do you know?
>> Billy: Everything.
178
00:11:12,905 --> 00:11:13,873
She told me everything.
179
00:11:23,816 --> 00:11:26,552
>> Abby: Snack time.
>> Chance: Oh, boy.
180
00:11:26,619 --> 00:11:28,988
Did you hear that, Dom?
It's snack time.
181
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,857
I tell you what, you do not know
how good you got it, man.
182
00:11:31,924 --> 00:11:34,760
Your mom is the best.
And she's beautiful -- look at
183
00:11:34,827 --> 00:11:36,362
her.
And fun, and she is a great
184
00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:39,398
cook, I'll tell you what.
>> Abby: Oh, yes, it takes great
185
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:42,701
culinary skill to put some
cheese and crackers on a plate.
186
00:11:42,768 --> 00:11:45,738
>> Chance: Well, she's also very
kind and understanding and
187
00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:47,706
patient.
>> Abby: Hmm.
188
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:50,142
It sounds like you want
something.
189
00:11:50,209 --> 00:11:53,646
>> Chance: She's also very
perceptive.
190
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:55,748
>> Abby: What do you need,
Chance?
191
00:11:55,815 --> 00:12:00,019
Whatever it is, all you have to
do is ask.
192
00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:05,257
>> Billy: I can't tell you how
193
00:12:05,324 --> 00:12:08,794
pissed off I am that he screwed
her over the way that he did.
194
00:12:08,861 --> 00:12:11,864
Not that I'm surprised.
I assume you're not either,
195
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:14,467
'cause we had his number from
the beginning.
196
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:16,635
>> Nick: I hope that's not what
you said to her.
197
00:12:16,702 --> 00:12:19,238
>> Billy: Close.
>> Nick: I bet that went over
198
00:12:19,305 --> 00:12:20,973
well.
>> Billy: Actually, she admitted
199
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,476
that we were right.
She's mad at herself that she
200
00:12:23,542 --> 00:12:25,644
fell for his garbage.
>> Nick: He's the one she should
201
00:12:25,711 --> 00:12:27,146
be mad at.
>> Billy: She is.
202
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:31,750
Believe me, she is.
Or...she was.
203
00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:34,753
Thought she was gonna smack him
when he first walked in.
204
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:36,989
Then he started giving her that
stupid look that he's perfected,
205
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:41,927
all pained and sincere.
Like he's the victim -- he's
206
00:12:41,994 --> 00:12:44,597
done it his entire life.
You think she'd see through it
207
00:12:44,663 --> 00:12:48,601
by now.
>> Ashland: I was up most of the
208
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,870
night, thinking about the
terrible mistake I made.
209
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:56,675
It was wrong of me to walk out
on you the way I did.
210
00:12:56,742 --> 00:13:00,379
You are more than capable of
making your own decisions, and
211
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:07,086
it's not my place to do that for
you.
212
00:13:07,153 --> 00:13:12,992
If you can't get past your
doubts about me, I will
213
00:13:13,058 --> 00:13:17,997
understand that.
I will respect your wishes,
214
00:13:18,063 --> 00:13:21,233
whatever they are.
But if there is the slightest
215
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:26,105
chance that you're willing to
wait for me until I can clear my
216
00:13:26,172 --> 00:13:37,616
name...that would be a miracle.
217
00:13:37,683 --> 00:13:40,452
>> Victoria: I think everything
is going to work out.
218
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:46,025
>> Ashland: Do you mean that?
219
00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:50,462
>> Victoria: I need to deal with
my family.
220
00:13:50,529 --> 00:13:51,530
>> Ashland: Let me go with you.
I can --
221
00:13:51,597 --> 00:13:53,732
>> Victoria: No, I'd like to do
it alone.
222
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:56,835
>> Ashland: But -- But --
>> Victoria: I'll be fine.
223
00:13:56,902 --> 00:13:59,872
>> Ashland: Okay.
>> Victoria: I'll meet you
224
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:04,310
afterwards at Society.
225
00:14:04,376 --> 00:14:10,849
>> Ashland: I'll be waiting.
[ Sighs ]
226
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:15,421
This means the world to me.
227
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:21,594
You have no idea.
>> Nick: What the hell?
228
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:26,365
>> Nikki: Oh, this waiting...
229
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:32,004
>> Victor: Believe me, I wish we
230
00:14:32,071 --> 00:14:34,807
had heard something by now.
>> Nikki: There's an executive
231
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:38,043
staff meeting in 10 minutes.
I'll have to cover for Victoria
232
00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:39,812
and Ashland.
>> Victor: How are you gonna
233
00:14:39,878 --> 00:14:42,982
explain their absence?
>> Nikki: By being as vague as
234
00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:44,850
possible.
>> Victor: We have to keep it
235
00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:47,319
quiet about what happened last
night, okay?
236
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:49,655
Until that scum's out of the
company, I don't want anyone to
237
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:52,691
know about it.
>> Nikki: When Victoria's ready,
238
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:56,328
we will all sit down together
and hammer out a strategy.
239
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:58,230
>> Victor: I think you're more
worried about Victoria than
240
00:14:58,297 --> 00:15:00,633
you're letting on.
>> Nikki: Well, yes, of course
241
00:15:00,699 --> 00:15:03,269
I'm worried.
Ashland has lied to her before,
242
00:15:03,335 --> 00:15:08,207
but never anything like this.
This is a crushing betrayal,
243
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:11,110
and we saw how devastated she
was when she finally admitted
244
00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:13,946
what he had done.
>> Victor: I think once the
245
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:17,016
shock wears off, she will want
to be rid of that loser as much
246
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:20,052
as we do.
>> Nikki: Well, don't expect
247
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:23,889
that to happen overnight.
It's going to take a while for
248
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:28,394
her to get over this.
I mean, this marriage was her
249
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:31,363
dream.
Falling in love with Ashland was
250
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:34,566
effortless for her.
He adored her -- or so she
251
00:15:34,633 --> 00:15:37,803
thought.
He told her everything that she
252
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:40,806
had longed to hear.
Now all of that has been
253
00:15:40,873 --> 00:15:44,576
shattered, along with her sense
of judgment.
254
00:15:44,643 --> 00:15:47,313
And this is even worse than when
things ended with Billy.
255
00:15:47,379 --> 00:15:51,850
I mean, God knows they tried to
make that work so many times.
256
00:15:51,917 --> 00:15:54,687
But she trusted A--
>> Victor: Hold on a second.
257
00:15:54,753 --> 00:16:00,259
>> Nikki: What?
>> Victor: Oh, my goodness.
258
00:16:00,326 --> 00:16:03,629
>> Nikki: What?
>> Victor: Nicholas is watching
259
00:16:03,696 --> 00:16:08,734
Ashland and Victoria.
Oh, my God.
260
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:11,603
And she just went into his arms.
That bastard is manipulating
261
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:13,639
her.
I'm gonna have to put a stop to
262
00:16:13,706 --> 00:16:16,975
that.
>> Nikki: [ Sighs ]
263
00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:23,215
>> Victor: This is outrageous.
264
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:37,262
>> Ashland: Are you sure you
265
00:16:37,329 --> 00:16:42,668
don't want me to go with you,
face your family together?
266
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:45,838
>> Victoria: If you're asking me
to trust you, then you have to
267
00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:50,142
trust me.
>> Ashland: You're right.
268
00:16:50,209 --> 00:16:51,543
Of course you're right.
You're always right.
269
00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:54,580
[ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ]
270
00:16:54,646 --> 00:16:57,182
You've been handling your family
for a long time, long before I
271
00:16:57,249 --> 00:16:59,485
came into the picture.
You know best how to deal with
272
00:16:59,551 --> 00:17:01,120
them.
I just can't help wanting to
273
00:17:01,186 --> 00:17:03,756
look out after you, to protect
you.
274
00:17:03,822 --> 00:17:05,991
It's instinctive.
>> Victoria: But if you're
275
00:17:06,058 --> 00:17:08,394
there, it's just gonna make
everything more tense, and
276
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:10,963
there's nothing that you can say
to my family that's gonna
277
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:14,032
convince them that you're
innocent without proof, and --
278
00:17:14,099 --> 00:17:17,836
and you don't have that yet.
>> Ashland: But you know I'm not
279
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:20,472
gonna stop until I do have it.
>> Victoria: Yes, I know.
280
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:25,077
I know that you're -- you're
relentless.
281
00:17:25,144 --> 00:17:26,812
>> Ashland: I was thinking I
might never see that smile
282
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:29,882
again.
>> Victoria: Never is an awfully
283
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:34,119
long time.
>> Ashland: Still, it's all I'm
284
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:36,388
living for now.
To make sure that you and I are
285
00:17:36,455 --> 00:17:39,691
gonna be okay.
That is everything.
286
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:53,105
Good luck.
287
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:55,541
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thanks.
>> Ashland: Not that you're
288
00:17:55,607 --> 00:18:07,686
gonna need it.
289
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:11,824
>> Billy: What was that?
>> Victoria: Have you been
290
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:14,726
spying on me this whole time?
What is he doing here?
291
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:17,129
Did you call him?
>> Nick: Absolutely not.
292
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:19,198
>> Billy: And we weren't spying
on you, okay?
293
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:22,167
I was still here when he walked
in, and I wanted to stick around
294
00:18:22,234 --> 00:18:24,703
to make sure that you were okay.
We didn't interrupt because we
295
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:27,573
were hoping we were gonna watch
you kick his ass to the curb.
296
00:18:27,639 --> 00:18:29,308
>> Nick: Instead it's all hugs
and kisses?
297
00:18:29,374 --> 00:18:31,343
You cannot be serious.
>> Victoria: I don't have to
298
00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:32,911
explain myself to either one of
you.
299
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:35,614
>> Nick: Do not tell me you're
gonna forgive this lying creep
300
00:18:35,681 --> 00:18:38,784
again.
>> Victoria: Okay, I won't.
301
00:18:38,851 --> 00:18:41,353
>> Nick: Vick, come on.
>> Victoria: Nicholas, why can
302
00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:45,891
you not just trust me for once?
I know what I'm doing.
303
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,393
And thank you for listening to
me earlier and respecting me.
304
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:56,502
It meant a lot.
305
00:18:56,568 --> 00:19:00,939
>> Nick: I don't like this at
all.
306
00:19:01,006 --> 00:19:09,147
>> Abby: Come, sit.
307
00:19:09,214 --> 00:19:11,283
>> Chance: I can see you're
upset.
308
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:13,852
>> Abby: I'm not upset.
I'm just worried, and please
309
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:16,088
don't tell me that there isn't
any reason to be.
310
00:19:16,154 --> 00:19:20,592
>> Chance: Okay.
Well, before you ask, yes, I am
311
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:23,629
still having panic attacks,
nightmares, you know, the
312
00:19:23,695 --> 00:19:26,899
disturbing thoughts.
All that hasn't gone away just
313
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:28,367
yet.
>> Abby: Yeah, I saw you
314
00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:29,768
fighting through one a moment
ago.
315
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:33,639
>> Chance: Yeah, but I'm okay.
Really, things are getting
316
00:19:33,705 --> 00:19:36,041
better, I promise.
Sometimes it just -- it just
317
00:19:36,108 --> 00:19:39,111
sneaks up on me, you know?
Less often than before.
318
00:19:39,177 --> 00:19:41,446
>> Abby: And I assume this is
something that you shared with
319
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:43,382
your therapist?
>> Chance: Yeah, yeah.
320
00:19:43,448 --> 00:19:45,651
Dr. Huffman is, you know,
helping me understand these a
321
00:19:45,717 --> 00:19:47,953
little bit better, what's going
on up here when they're
322
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:50,756
happening.
He taught me some breathing
323
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:54,326
exercises, some relaxation
techniques to help.
324
00:19:54,393 --> 00:19:58,063
>> Abby: Good, I'm glad.
>> Chance: But he also
325
00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:01,400
recommended something else, and
in order to follow through on
326
00:20:01,466 --> 00:20:04,836
that, I'm really gonna need your
support.
327
00:20:04,903 --> 00:20:07,573
>> Abby: Of course, absolutely,
yeah, I will support you any way
328
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:10,108
that I can.
>> Chance: Well, you might want
329
00:20:10,175 --> 00:20:12,611
to wait and hear what it is
first, 'cause I have a feeling
330
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:16,815
you're not gonna like what he
recommended.
331
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:21,820
>> Abby: Try me.
>> Nick: What did Victoria say
332
00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:24,222
to you before Ashland showed up?
How did she seem?
333
00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:26,458
>> Billy: I think you should go
find your sister and ask her
334
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:28,093
yourself.
>> Nick: I can't do that, Billy.
335
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,228
If I push it any more with her,
it could really backfire.
336
00:20:30,295 --> 00:20:32,965
>> Billy: Yeah, that's true.
>> Nick: So when you talked to
337
00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:34,933
her, what did she say?
Was she making excuses for
338
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,635
Ashland?
Was she trying to come up with
339
00:20:36,702 --> 00:20:38,770
reasons to believe his story?
>> Billy: No.
340
00:20:38,837 --> 00:20:41,206
Not at all.
She told me flat-out that he
341
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,942
lied about everything.
She said she looked in his eyes
342
00:20:44,009 --> 00:20:47,679
and knew that he was guilty.
>> Nick: Thank God.
343
00:20:47,746 --> 00:20:51,850
>> Billy: We also talked about
him being potentially dangerous.
344
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:53,585
>> Nick: Are you serious?
>> Billy: Yes, which is why I
345
00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:55,153
don't understand what the hell
just happened.
346
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:57,456
How does that conversation end
with them being affectionate?
347
00:20:57,522 --> 00:20:59,458
>> Nick: Well, think about it,
he's still co-owner of
348
00:20:59,524 --> 00:21:02,561
Newman/Locke.
He is the co-CEO.
349
00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:05,097
He's got all this leverage on
her.
350
00:21:05,163 --> 00:21:07,499
As much as we would've liked to
have seen her go off on him,
351
00:21:07,566 --> 00:21:10,302
maybe it's not her best move.
>> Billy: [ Sighs ]
352
00:21:10,369 --> 00:21:14,606
>> Victor: Where's Victoria?
>> Nick: She's -- She's already
353
00:21:14,673 --> 00:21:18,510
gone.
>> Victor: You and I need to
354
00:21:18,577 --> 00:21:21,213
talk in private.
>> Billy: No, I'm good.
355
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:25,884
She told me about everything.
>> Victor: Did she?
356
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:27,786
>> Billy: Which is why you
should've teamed up with me in
357
00:21:27,853 --> 00:21:29,488
the beginning.
We could've stopped Ashland in
358
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:38,430
his tracks.

00:22:13,398 --> 00:22:16,735
>> Victoria: Hi.
It's me.
362
00:22:16,802 --> 00:22:18,437
I need to see you right away.

will continue.

>> Chance: How was he?
He go to sleep okay?
365
00:22:56,975 --> 00:22:59,511
>> Abby: Yes, all that play time
with Daddy wore him out.

>> Chance: We're gonna have to
367
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:03,115
work on his stamina, huh?
>> Abby: Yeah.
368
00:23:03,181 --> 00:23:07,252
Okay, so I am all yours.
Please tell me what Dr. Huffman
369
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:09,521
suggested to help you work
through this.
370
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:14,559
>> Chance: Well...it's funny you
phrase it that way, because he
371
00:23:14,626 --> 00:23:19,131
thinks I should literally work
through it.
372
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:23,835
He thinks I should go back to
the police force.
373
00:23:23,902 --> 00:23:26,271
>> Abby: Wow, okay.
[ Chuckles ]
374
00:23:26,338 --> 00:23:30,408
Well, that is the last thing I
expected your therapist to say.
375
00:23:30,475 --> 00:23:34,379
>> Chance: Why do you say that?
>> Abby: I mean, didn't you tell
376
00:23:34,446 --> 00:23:37,015
him about what happened when you
went on the stakeout with Rey?
377
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:39,417
>> Chance: Yeah, of course.
Of course I did.
378
00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:42,420
I mean, we had a very detailed
conversation about the whole
379
00:23:42,487 --> 00:23:44,790
thing.
>> Abby: And?
380
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:48,493
>> Chance: Well, we agreed that,
at the time, I was expecting too
381
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,297
much of myself.
And now I can approach it, you
382
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:57,335
know, differently.
>> Abby: Okay, um...look, I know
383
00:23:57,402 --> 00:24:00,772
that Dr. Huffman is a
professional and I'm not trying
384
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:04,009
to second-guess what he said,
but, I mean, it's just -- it's
385
00:24:04,075 --> 00:24:06,611
really hard for me to fathom
that he would want you to go
386
00:24:06,678 --> 00:24:09,948
back to work, to put yourself
under that kind of pressure when
387
00:24:10,015 --> 00:24:13,618
you're not ready.
>> Chance: He thinks I am ready.
388
00:24:13,685 --> 00:24:17,255
>> Abby: But -- But clearly you
haven't healed from the trauma
389
00:24:17,322 --> 00:24:20,392
that you suffered in Spain --
the nightmares and the
390
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:25,197
flashbacks are proof of that.
>> Chance: I think his idea is
391
00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:28,366
that getting back to my normal
routine and building up my
392
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:31,670
confidence in these certain
situations, that's all gonna be
393
00:24:31,736 --> 00:24:37,642
part of the healing process.
But, listen, I understand if you
394
00:24:37,709 --> 00:24:42,047
have reservations or concerns.
And if you're uncomfortable with
395
00:24:42,113 --> 00:24:47,619
it, that's fine.
I don't have to do it.

[ Knock on door ]

I'm so glad you called.
>> Victoria: How was the staff
398
00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:58,396
meeting?
>> Nikki: Oh, uneventful.
399
00:24:58,463 --> 00:25:00,665
I just said that you and Ashland
couldn't make it and let it go
400
00:25:00,732 --> 00:25:08,707
at that.
You seem tired, honey.
401
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:12,143
>> Victoria: I didn't sleep
much.>> Nikki: I don't think any
402
00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:15,814
of us did.
>> Victoria: I'm sorry that I
403
00:25:15,881 --> 00:25:17,682
didn't get back to you and your
texts.
404
00:25:17,749 --> 00:25:19,684
I turned my phone off.
I just needed some time to
405
00:25:19,751 --> 00:25:22,320
myself last night.
>> Nikki: Oh, no, I'm glad that
406
00:25:22,387 --> 00:25:25,156
you took it.
How are you feeling now?
407
00:25:25,223 --> 00:25:27,759
>> Victoria: Better.
Where's Dad?
408
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:29,861
I would assume that he would be
with you.
409
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:33,098
>> Nikki: Actually, he left to
go find you.
410
00:25:33,164 --> 00:25:36,835
>> Victoria: [ Scoffs ]
I'm sure he knew exactly where
411
00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:39,371
to find me.
And don't deny that he had me
412
00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:41,706
followed.
I'm pretty sure I saw one of his
413
00:25:41,773 --> 00:25:44,943
security team outside my hotel,
and then Nicholas showed up at
414
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:47,913
Crimson Lights when I was there.
Surprise, surprise.

00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:50,916

invade your privacy.
416
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:52,951
We just wanted to make sure you
were alright.
417
00:25:53,018 --> 00:25:54,920
>> Victoria: And that I wasn't
with Ashland.
418
00:25:54,986 --> 00:25:57,088
>> Nikki: Well, we didn't want
him harassing you.
419
00:25:57,155 --> 00:26:00,792
>> Victoria: After he made his
dramatic announcement that he's
420
00:26:00,859 --> 00:26:04,195
walking away from our marriage.
>> Nikki: Oh, none of us put
421
00:26:04,262 --> 00:26:06,731
much stock in that.
>> Victoria: Well, you were
422
00:26:06,798 --> 00:26:09,000
right.
>> Nikki: What do you mean?
423
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:12,971
I know that you spoke to Ashland
at the coffee house.
424
00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:15,507
Did he admit to lying about
being sick?
425
00:26:15,573 --> 00:26:19,411
>> Victoria: No, no such luck.
He insists still that he's being
426
00:26:19,477 --> 00:26:23,548
set up and he's going to "prove
his innocence."
427
00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:28,320
>> Nikki: But you don't believe
that.
428
00:26:28,386 --> 00:26:31,456
>> Victoria: Mother, I'm only
willing to get into this once.
429
00:26:31,523 --> 00:26:33,692
Would you please call Nicholas
and Dad and have them come back
430
00:26:33,758 --> 00:26:34,893
here?
And I'll tell you everything
431
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,931
that you need to know.
>> Victor: Billy Boy, I'm not
432
00:26:39,998 --> 00:26:42,267
interested in your opinion.
>> Billy: Oh, that's too bad,
433
00:26:42,334 --> 00:26:44,369
'cause if you were interested
back in Tuscany, Victoria
434
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,004
wouldn't be in this situation,
would she?
435
00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:47,439
>> Nick: This isn't doing any
good.
436
00:26:47,505 --> 00:26:50,075
We all want the same thing here,
and that is to get Victoria out
437
00:26:50,141 --> 00:26:52,477
of this disaster of a marriage.
>> Victor: Let me ask you, what
438
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:54,813
was she doing in Locke's arms?
>> Nick: I don't know, Dad.
439
00:26:54,879 --> 00:26:56,781
I asked her about it.
>> Victor: Did she have any
440
00:26:56,848 --> 00:26:57,949
explanation?
>> Nick: None.
441
00:26:58,016 --> 00:27:00,285
She just insisted that she knows
what she's doing.
442
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:03,955
>> Billy: I talked to her before
Ashland got here, and believe
443
00:27:04,022 --> 00:27:06,791
me, she was furious with him.
>> Nick: It's hard to know where
444
00:27:06,858 --> 00:27:08,793
her head is.
>> Victor: Excuse me.
445
00:27:08,860 --> 00:27:11,663
Yes, darling.
Is Victoria with you?
446
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:15,333
>> Nikki: Yes, she's back in
the office, and she would like
447
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,771
to speak to all of us together.
>> Victor: We'll be right over.
448
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:26,978
Let's go, son.
449
00:27:27,045 --> 00:27:29,714
Did I ask you to come along?
This is a family affair.
450
00:27:29,781 --> 00:27:31,616
You stay out of it.
>> Billy: My kids are part of
451
00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:33,551
that family, so you damn well
better believe that I'm gonna
452
00:27:33,618 --> 00:27:36,821
protect their interests.
>> Victor: Stay out of it,
453
00:27:36,888 --> 00:27:38,990
Billy Boy.
I'm warning you.
454
00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:39,991
>> Nick: Dad, come on.
455
00:27:56,808 --> 00:28:00,845
>> Abby: I'm not asking you to
drop the idea of going back to
456
00:28:00,912 --> 00:28:04,082
work.
I want that for you.
457
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:06,551
I mean, that has always been the
goal.
458
00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:10,989
That is why I had encouraged
therapy in the first place.
459
00:28:11,056 --> 00:28:14,159
I just -- I need help
understanding why Dr. Huffman is
460
00:28:14,225 --> 00:28:16,261
taking this position.
>> Chance: Okay, well, I'll do
461
00:28:16,327 --> 00:28:20,765
my best to explain.
>> Abby: Why does he think that
462
00:28:20,832 --> 00:28:25,837
doing this now wouldn't be too
much, too soon?
463
00:28:25,904 --> 00:28:28,139
>> Chance: Abby, I'm in a better
place.
464
00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:32,010
I am.
Yes, I am still struggling with
465
00:28:32,077 --> 00:28:37,816
some things, I know.
But when I went on that stakeout
466
00:28:37,882 --> 00:28:42,020
with Rey -- first of all, that
was a very impulsive decision.
467
00:28:42,087 --> 00:28:45,223
I did not think that through at
all.
468
00:28:45,290 --> 00:28:51,129
And second, there were certain
uncertainties, certain pressures
469
00:28:51,196 --> 00:28:55,266
that have faded since then,
right?
470
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:58,670
You know, Dominic was sick, and
we didn't know why.
471
00:28:58,736 --> 00:29:00,805
We weren't sure about sharing
custody with Devon.
472
00:29:00,872 --> 00:29:02,874
We didn't know how that was
gonna go.
473
00:29:02,941 --> 00:29:05,210
I mean, I had so much
uncertainty on so many different
474
00:29:05,276 --> 00:29:10,648
fronts.
That's not the case now.
475
00:29:10,715 --> 00:29:15,553
I feel good and I feel like I'm
back on the right track.
476
00:29:15,620 --> 00:29:19,724
>> Abby: Yeah.
I do, too.
477
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:22,727
>> Chance: And look, I'm certain
that this guy knows what he's
478
00:29:22,794 --> 00:29:26,164
talking about.
I trust him.
479
00:29:26,231 --> 00:29:29,400
Getting mentally stronger, it's
not about just sitting around
480
00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:31,769
and waiting to get better,
right?
481
00:29:31,836 --> 00:29:34,205
It's like exercising a muscle --
you got to do a little bit at a
482
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:38,977
time and build yourself back up.
>> Abby: Okay, so you're not
483
00:29:39,043 --> 00:29:42,180
talking about throwing yourself
back into work full force.
484
