>> Connor: Mom, your new apartment is really cool.
But you know what the coolest part is?
>> Chelsea: What? >> Connor: You're back and
we're together. >> Chelsea: I'm so happy to be
back. I missed you so much.
And I look forward to spending so much time here together.
>> Connor: Can I decorate my new room however I want?
>> Chelsea: Uh, sure. Well, I mean, within reason.
Maybe we can do it together. It'll be our own special
project. >> Connor: Yeah, that would be
fun. >> Chelsea: Yeah.
And we can do movie nights and we can eat popcorn and get
special treats downstairs at Crimson Lights.
>> Connor: Awesome. >> Chelsea: Just the two of us.
>> Connor: That sounds nice, Mom.
But will you promise me something?
>> Chelsea: Anything. >> Connor: Promise you won't
disappear on me again?
>> Ashley: Hi. What are you doing here?
I was on my way to see you. What's wrong, honey?
>> Abby: Uh, sorry. I just -- I couldn't sit there any longer.
It hurt too much. >> Ashley: What's going on?
What? What? What? >> Abby: [ Voice breaking ] Mom,
it's bad. It's a really bad.

>> Diane: [ Sighs ] [ Scoffs ]
Why aren't you responding to my messages?
>> Jack: As you can see, I am at work.
I don't want to be here late today.
If you don't mind, I really don't have time for
interruptions. >> Diane: [ Sighs ] Obviously,
you're working. And I can see that you're busy,
but that is no excuse for ignoring my calls.
I have an urgent matter that I need to discuss with you.
>> Jack: There is always something urgent with you.
I'm sorry. I don't have time for your drama
right now. >> Diane: Okay, well, maybe you
don't want to see me and you don't want to speak to me, but
you at least need to listen to what I have to say.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ] I guess, uh, see ya around?
>> Sally: [ Inhales sharply ] Yeah.
Um...you know, after our talk earlier, I, uh -- I don't know.
I feel like there's still so much left unresolved.
Would you maybe want to join me for a drink and find some
answers? Wait.
I just want to be clear. I still do not want to talk
about your loan offer. So, if you bring it up...
>> Nick: We can discuss or not discuss whatever you want.
>> Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]
>> Chelsea: There's something I
need to share with you. >> Connor: Okay.
Sounds serious. >> Chelsea: It is serious.
I want to tell you where I've been the past few days.
Do you remember when I was in the hospital last year?
>> Connor: Yeah. After you got out, we went to
see Grandma. >> Chelsea: That's right.
Do you remember why I was in the hospital?
>> Connor: I thought it was because you were sick.
Are you sick again? Is that what you need to tell
me?
>> Adam: Connor, everything is
going to be okay. Just give your mom some time to
explain, okay? >> Chelsea: Last year, um...
Last year, I needed help because I was having trouble determining
what was real. I was feeling lost, and I
couldn't distinguish what was right or wrong.
I was feeling confused, so it was hindering me from focusing
on what was important. But I recovered, and I thought
that that was past me. And then over the past few days,
I could feel myself slipping again, except it felt different
this time. It, um...
It felt worse, actually. So I decided it was best if I
went back to the hospital. [ Sighs ] Um...
Connor, tell me, do you -- do you know what depression is?
>> Connor: I think it's like being sad.
Is that why you went to the hospital?
Because you felt sad? >> Chelsea: That was one of the
reasons. >> Connor: [ Voice breaking ]
I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to make you sad.
I didn't mean to hurt you about Johnny or me or anything else.
I was just scared. >> Chelsea: Oh, Connor.
>> Connor: [ Exhales heavily ]
>> Phyllis: Hmm. >> Tucker: Mm.
[ Chair legs scrape ] Let me buy you a drink.
>> Tucker: No, I'm just waiting on a to-go order.
>> Phyllis: Oh, come on. One drink.
Sit down. It'll be fun.
You work so hard. Come take a load off.
>> Sally: So, how do you think things are gonna go at
Newman Media under the new leadership?
>> Nick: Well, I don't know if Nate's the right man for the
job. And I hate to say it, but his
recent behavior has me questioning the man's integrity.
>> Sally: Really? >> Nick: Plus, I was a real big
fan of the old regime. You made a believer out of me,
Sally. I know you may not be open to
it, but I'm hoping you take my offer for a loan as a vote of
confidence in your talent. >> Sally: As opposed to...?
>> Nick: Personal favor, I guess.
>> Sally: [ Clears throat ] Well, despite the fact that you
promised not to press me on the issue, I am very grateful for
your generous offer. >> Nick: Great.
Then we can, uh -- >> Sally: But before you say
anything else, I do want to make something perfectly clear.
I do not want anyone, including you, thinking that I'm trying to
manipulate a romantic situation. 'Cause there is going to be a
ton of people out there who will immediately jump to that
conclusion. We both know who they are.
That is 100% not who I am. And if there is any doubt on
that, then I don't want your money.
>> Jack: Honestly, I'm really not interested in what you have
to say. Lately, there is always some
fresh hell. >> Diane: The hell started when
Tucker McCall came back to town. Jack, you need to watch out for
him. >> Jack: Why?
>> Diane: Because there is one last thing about the deal I made
with Tucker out in L.A. that I haven't told you yet.
>> Jack: Of course there is. >> Diane: What you don't know is
that Tucker wanted me to share any information or documents I
could find pertaining to the financial stability of Jabot.
>> Jack: What? >> Diane: Yes, he's obviously
looking for a weakness that he can use to exploit the company.
[ Folder thuds ] But I -- No!
I never gave Tucker anything. I mean, you have to know that I
would -- I would never do that to you or Kyle.
>> Jack: One more lie. One more secret.
One more deceit. Another shoe dropping,
right on schedule! If you were so loyal, if it was
so important for me to have this critical information, why did
you hold on to it for so long? Why is it coming out just now?
>> Diane: [ Sighs ]
>> Diane: I wanted to tell you before, but I didn't want to
cause any more problems for the family than necessary.
Really. Before Tucker came back to
Genoa City, I had no intentions of giving him any information
about Jabot. But then once he showed up here,
I knew that whatever he had planned was not going to be
derailed by my lack of cooperation.
>> Jack: How many times did I ask you if there was more to
your arrangement with McCall? >> Diane: [ Sighs ] I-I know.
I-I know. I was -- I was trying -- I was trying to
handle it by myself and -- and making it all go away.
I was looking for the perfect opportunity to set a trap for
him. I thought that if I could
discover his true intentions, then I could catch him
red-handed. Jack, you do remember what a
ruthless man Tucker is. And not to mention all the
dangerous people he's been associated with.
>> Jack: Yeah, you told me you had plenty of dangerous people
in your life, as well. >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
You mean Jeremy Stark. And that is exactly who I'm
talking about. Because I didn't get the
information to Tucker about Jabot, he is threatening to use
Jeremy as a way to get revenge on me.
>> Jack: Wait. How does he intend to do that?
>> Diane: Tucker has already told Ashley about my connection
to Jeremy. Jeremy served 6 years of a
10-year prison sentence, but he's about to be released, and
we can be sure that he is not coming out reformed.
And now -- now, on top of that, Nikki and Phyllis and Ashley are
threatening to plant the idea in Jeremy's head that I helped put
him away. If they're successful,
he's gonna want payback.
>> Abby: I think my marriage might be over.
>> Ashley: What are you talking about?
>> Abby: Chance doesn't think he's the right person for me.
And the worst part is he doesn't think he wants to be.
>> Ashley: I don't understand, honey.
You found him. You brought him home when
everybody thought he was dead. I mean, you've been by his side
every step of the way. He went through all this
trauma, and there you were. And now he wants to leave this
marriage without provocation? >> Abby: But he was.
He -- He was provoked. >> Ashley: Did he cheat on you?
>> Abby: No, Mom. [ Sniffles ] It wasn't Chance.
Chance didn't do anything wrong. It was me.
I cheated on him. [ Sighs heavily ]
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] Come here, Connor.
Listen to me. >> Connor: [ Sniffles ]
>> Adam: Nothing that happened is your fault.
None of the things your mother is dealing with right now you
caused, okay? >> Chelsea: Your father is
telling you the truth. This is not about one thing that
happened or one person. The truth is I have been
struggling with a few things in my life, both past and present.
But look how things have turned around for me, huh?
I was looking for a stable, safe place to live, besides the
hotel, and look -- I found this great apartment, right?
[ Sighs ] Connor, I -- I was just
struggling with, um, some stuff with my work.
And then -- And then we lost Rey so suddenly.
I know that was really hard on us, right?
>> Connor: I miss him. >> Chelsea: I know.
And then I think it was just hard for me when Johnny didn't
embrace the news about me being his biological mom.
Giving birth to the two of you is the best thing that
has ever happened to me. You are my whole world.
You know that, right? >> Connor: Yeah.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. And I guess I just -- I don't
know. I guess I was hoping, you know,
[sighs] Johnny could be a part of our family and he could add
some light to a life that is already so bright because you're
in it. But it's not Johnny's fault,
either. You know, he's -- he's allowed
to have his feelings. [ Sighs ]
Anyway, um, I am working really hard with my doctors at the
hospital to figure out why I went through this period of
sadness and -- and how I can get better.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. >> Connor: Is it over now?
>> Nick: Sally, I don't think you're manipulating our
relationship. There's nothing illicit about
this. But I don't want you to feel
uncomfortable on account of me or anyone else for the
motivation of me offering you this loan.
>> Sally: I'm sorry. It's just, enough people assume
that Adam only hired me for personal reasons that I can't
help worrying that it might happen again.
>> Nick: Look, I'm not gonna deny that our relationship means
a lot to me. But it's got nothing to do with
this offer. I saw early on when we were
working together, before we got involved, that you're a very
talented woman. And Chloe's obviously a very
driven person, and I think the two of you make an incredible
team. So, if you do, in fact, want to
start your own fashion label, there's just no chance it
doesn't become a powerhouse. So, why wouldn't I want to help
you achieve that? >> Sally: There's just one
problem. I don't want to start another
fashion line.
>> Sally: Running Newman Media gave me a taste of something
bigger. You know, I realized I'm capable
of so much more than just designing dresses.
I mean, of course I still love the fashion world and can
undeniably out-design the best of them.
But I don't know. I just feel like going back to
where Chloe and I were before is taking a step backward.
>> Nick: There's nothing wrong with taking a step backward,
Sally. Sometimes you got to do that to
propel yourself forward. >> Sally: I know.
And I'm not saying that I have to start at the top.
I just... I don't know.
I might want to try something new.
>> Nick: Like what? >> Sally: Well, I thought about
maybe putting my fashion sense into interior design or an
event-planning business. I don't know yet.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ] Well, I think you'd be
successful in either one of those arenas.
Take interior design, for example.
You could combine your amazing artistic sense along with your
keen eye for what looks good. There's just no way it fails.
That goes for anything you put your mind to.
And here's the thing, Sally -- you don't have to have all the
answers right now. You take it one step at a time.
And I hope you know, if you want, I'll be right there by
your side to help you figure it all out.
>> Phyllis: I would like to propose a toast.
>> Tucker: To what? >> Phyllis: You.
And, uh, the interesting tidbit you gave to Ashley about Diane
and her activity in Los Angeles with Jeremy Stark.
>> Tucker: I hope you can put it to good use.
>> Phyllis: Absolutely. No stone unturned.
>> Tucker: Glad to hear it. >> Phyllis: I'm not done.
I have another stone. >> Tucker: What stone's that?
>> Phyllis: You. Why are you here, Tucker?
What are you doing back in this town?
What do you plan to get out of all of this?
>> Ashley: You cheated on Chance?
Oh, honey. I'm assuming this is just a
one-time, meaningless mistake, right?
And you're never gonna see this person again?
>> Abby: [ Sniffles ] This person is gonna be a part
of our lives forever. Or, at least, Dominic's life.
>> Ashley: You slept with Devon? >> Abby: [ Sighs ]
We were both feeling so alone and isolated.
Amanda was in Virginia for who knows how long, and Chance --
he's just always working. I-I don't know.
It just happened. >> Ashley: I know, honey.
Sometimes things just happen. Sometimes they just happen.
>> Chelsea: As your mom, I always want to be honest with
you. And I want this sadness to stop.
I really do. But it's an illness.
It's not like a physical one, like a -- like a cold or an
infection, but a mental one. So I need help from my doctors
to learn how to manage it and how to make it go away.
But unfortunately, these things take time.
>> Connor: But if it isn't physical, how bad did it have to
be for you to know you had to go to the hospital?
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Um... It was very bad.
It hurt very intensely on the inside.
Even if people couldn't see it on the outside, the --
the pain was unbearable. And I -- I just wanted it to
stop. >> Connor: Was it so bad
you wanted to die?
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Connor: Hey, you guys, I'm not a kid anymore.
I know what it means to un-alive yourself.
>> Chelsea: What? >> Adam: Un-alive yourself?
Where did you hear that? >> Connor: [ Sighs ]
It's what they call it online. When someone doesn't want to
live anymore, they un-alive themselves.
You can't use other words for it without getting into trouble on
some sites. >> Chelsea: Okay, well, I-I-I do
not love that you're seeing those kinds of things online.
But, um -- Ugh. But...yes.
There was a moment when my head told me the pain would go away
if I wasn't here anymore. Not because there aren't
wonderful things in my life -- because there are.
It's just the pain was so heavy, I couldn't feel those wonderful
things through all the sadness. It was a scary, terrible time
for me. I was feeling desperate and
alone with nowhere to turn. But the point is, I don't feel
that way anymore. And I promise I am going to work
so hard so I never feel that way again.
>> Connor: I'll help you, Mom. >> Chelsea: [ Exhales sharply ]
>> Sally: I hope you know that your belief in me means
everything. Which is why I am going to
turn down your generous offer. >> Nick: [ Chuckles ]
Are you sure? I know you told Chloe you were
gonna consider it. >> Sally: As I said before, I do
not want anyone thinking, including myself, that if my
business succeeds -- >> Nick: When your business
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay. When my business succeeds, it's
bankrolled me. Or because you fought for me to
keep my job at Newman Media. Or even because Adam Newman made
his girlfriend CEO. I want it to be because I did it
myself. Because Chloe and I are just
that good. Does that make sense?
>> Nick: Yeah. And as much as I want to be by
your side to help you, I cannot wait to see you triumphantly
rise to the top. >> Sally: Well, maybe you can be
by my side...in a different way. If that's what you want.
>> Nick: Yeah. Um... Every time I'm with you, it
never fails to make me want to spend more time with you.
>> Sally: Well...then I guess the question becomes...
what are we, really? You know, are we just friends?
Or is this going somewhere? >> Nick: I sure hope so.
>> Jack: I appreciate you telling me the truth.
It gives the family, the company time to prepare for whatever
Tucker has up his sleeve. >> Diane: Well, good.
I'm -- I'm hoping you can outsmart him.
>> Jack: How much have you told Kyle about this situation?
>> Diane: Well, I told him about Jeremy's release and my fears on
that end. And thankfully, he vowed to
protect me. But that's exactly why I didn't
tell him about Tucker's demands for Jabot's financials or my
plan to try to trap him. I was scared that Kyle, being
the protective son that he is, would -- would try to confront
Tucker immediately. >> Jack: Yeah, you're probably
right about that. >> Diane: Yeah, and I refuse to
expose him to that level of threat.
>> Jack: Last thing I want to do is put my son in a dangerous
situation. Look, I have to ask.
Did you have a hand in putting this man behind bars?
>> Diane: Yes. I made a deal -- immunity for
turning him in anonymously. >> Jack: I suppose you did the
right thing. >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
>> Jack: I mean, he couldn't commit any more crimes.
He... You extricated yourself from the
situation. >> Diane: Jack, I have told you,
and I have told Kyle. Nobody else can know.
And your sister is not helping things by doing everything she
can to put Stark on me. >> Jack: I've talked to Ashley.
I've told her to back off. >> Diane: Well, obviously,
she didn't listen.
>> Sally: [ Exhales heavily ] This feels right.
>> Nick: I know we said we were just gonna come in for a drink.
But how would you feel about going out and celebrating?
>> Sally: Depends on what we are celebrating.
>> Nick: So much. >> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Nick: This new chapter for us, your new possible business
venture. >> Sally: Whatever it is.
>> Nick: It's still worth celebrating.
I'm gonna go shower, which is also an invitation for you to
come into the shower.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Tucker: I'll tell you exactly what I've told everyone else
who's asked. My sole focus is Ashley.
Um...I've made a lot of big mistakes in my life, and -- and
breaking her heart was possibly the biggest.
And there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish I could
take that back. >> Phyllis: Hmm.
Done some soul searching, have you?
>> Tucker: Yes, actually. Some deep soul searching.
I admit that I asked Diane to update me on Ashley, but the
reason is I missed her and, uh, I wanted to know if maybe she'd
found someone else. Then I noticed how easily Diane
had slipped back in with the Abbotts, so I figured maybe I
could do it, too. >> Phyllis: Uh-huh.
>> Ashley: Honey, I know that you and Chance love each other.
You love each other so much. I think if he could forgive you,
you -- you could get past this. >> Abby: I don't know.
I don't know if this is something that he can just
get past... >> Ashley: Well --
>> Abby: ...enough to save our marriage.
>> Ashley: Step by step, okay? The first thing you're gonna
have to do is change your relationship with Devon, honey.
You're gonna have to. I mean, just because he's
Dominic's biological father doesn't mean the two of you
have to be this close. I'm assuming that's what got you
in this situation, right? >> Abby: So now I have to lose
Devon, as well? >> Ashley: [ Sighs ]
Well, what do you think? I mean, if Chance does decide to
forgive you and you do want to save your marriage, then he has
every right to not want you and Devon to be so close, honey,
don't you think? >> Abby: Yeah. Yeah.
I guess you're right. [ Door opens ]
[ Door slams ] >> Jack: Good to see you, Abby.
>> Abby: Hi, Uncle Jack. >> Jack: Ashley, could I speak
to you alone for a moment? >> Ashley: I'm in the middle of
something with my daughter. >> Abby: No, Mom, it's fine.
I actually I have to get home to Dominic.
>> Ashley: Are you sure? >> Abby: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love you. >> Ashley: Honey, I love you so
much. It's gonna be okay.
>> Abby: Thank you for the talk. Bye, Uncle Jack.
>> Ashley: I'll call you, honey. [ Door opens ]
>> Ashley: Oh, what? Are you here riding to Diane's
rescue once again? >> Jack: I thought I made it
clear you were to leave Diane alone.
>> Ashley: And just because you said it doesn't mean I'm
going to do it.
>> Adam: Connor, your mom and I -- we didn't share this with
you to scare you. We shared it with you because
honesty is important. >> Chelsea: And, you know, I --
I regret keeping the fact that I was Johnny's biological mom a
secret for so long. Moving forward, I'm not gonna
keep anything from you. And we can talk about all of
this today, tomorrow as long as you want.
No shame, no secrets. We can talk about anything.
>> Adam: Yeah. And no matter what, we are a
family. And we're gonna get through
this together. And for whatever reason, if you
don't want to talk to us about it, you can talk to Sharon, you
can talk to one of your teachers at school.
But for no reason do you need to feel ashamed or embarrassed for
your mother because she certainly isn't.
>> Chelsea: That's right. And in order to get through
this, I have to face it head on. I have an illness and I am
getting treatment and I am getting better.
>> Nick: Thought you were coming in the shower.
What's got you so caught up? >> Sally: I had an idea.
It just came to me -- a new business model.
Look. >> Nick: This is great.
I mean, this is it. This is your gift.
It's your vision. >> Sally: You really like it?
>> Nick: I do. Even if I can't help you bring
it to life, I cannot wait to see you and Chloe run with this.
>> Sally: This is where I want to be.
>> Connor: Is it okay with you, Dad, if I spend the night here
with Mom? I want to stay close so she
knows she's not alone and never has to be.
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yes, of course you can.
I'll grab a few of your things from the ranch and I will drop
them back off here. >> Chelsea: Bye.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ] >> Connor: I don't know what I'd
do if something really bad ever happened to you.
>> Chelsea: Ohh. You don't have to worry about
that because that is never gonna happen.
And I'm so happy you want to stay here.
I'm so excited to spend time with you.
But making me feel less alone is not your job.
It's my job to take care of you. And you know what?
>> Connor: What? >> Chelsea: It's the best job in
the whole world. >> Connor: [ Laughs ]
>> Chelsea: And I promise I am gonna work with my doctors and
I am gonna get better. Because the two of us -- we have
a lifetime of things to do together.
>> Connor: [ Chuckles ] >> Chelsea: Ahh.
>> Tucker: Ah, finally.
Thanks for the hospitality. >> Phyllis: You are welcome.
>> Diane: Well, look at the two of you with your heads together.
>> Tucker: I was just leaving. >> Diane: Oh, not on my account,
I hope. As far as I'm concerned, you can
collude all you want, but I've got to say -- you're not going
to win. >> Phyllis: You're very
confident, Diane. >> Diane: Yes, well, Jack and
Kyle are in my corner, so no matter who or what you throw at
me, they've got my back. So you and you and Nikki and
Ashley are no match for us. So you better be prepared to
come with everything you've got because this has officially
turned into a war. >> Jack: I cannot believe your
audacity. I told you this is about one
thing -- protecting my son and preserving a relationship that
means the world to Kyle. >> Ashley: Means the world to
Kyle or means the world to you? >> Jack: Oh, come on.
>> Ashley: No. You know who Diane is, and you
know what she's capable of. And yet, time and time again, we
find out more things that she's done.
She runs to you. She says she's the victim.
She worms her way right back into your good graces, and you
go out of your way to protect her again.
>> Jack: That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?
>> Ashley: No, I don't think that.
I believe it's an accurate observation, Jack, because I'm
watching you and you're constantly going to battle for
her. And I know you're not taking
into consideration the depth of her illegal activities.
>> Jack: You've got a lot of nerve, considering how Tucker is
using you right now, coercing you into doing his bidding.
Did you know that he asked Diane to pass along Jabot financial
information? Yeah, and he turned on her when
she didn't comply. That's what this is about,
Ashley! I guess your considerable charms
didn't extricate that particular secret from Tucker.
He is looking for weaknesses in Jabot right now so that he can
exploit them the same way he is exploiting your hatred toward
Diane. Whatever Tucker McCall is really
after, it appears you are his unwitting accomplice.
>> Next week on >> Jack: While we are waiting
for the first course, I thought we might go around the table and
each say what we are most thankful for today.
>> Daniel: Lily. [ Chuckles ] >> Lily: Oh, my God!
>> Daniel: Oh, look at you. >> Lily: Wow, it's so good to
see you. What are you doing here?
>> Adam: I want to be with you. We belong together.
Marry me, Sally.
