Devon and I are fully committed

Nothing has changed.
>> Daniel: Good. Good.
148
00:08:00,046 --> 00:08:02,081
>> Devon: Yeah.
And we understand, too,
149
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,250
that building an entire gaming
division from the ground up
150
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,718
is a huge
undertaking for the company.
151

So we want to take our time
and do things the right way.
152

there and the risks inherent
with any big launch,
154
00:08:11,924 --> 00:08:14,460
I can assure you that is exactly
what I'm going to do,
155
00:08:14,527 --> 00:08:17,496
down to the last detail.
Every aspect of this platform
156
00:08:17,563 --> 00:08:20,132
has to be seamlessly connected.
If one area is weak,
157
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,568
the whole thing falls apart.
It's unacceptable.
158
00:08:22,635 --> 00:08:24,871
Our flagship game isn't just
a way to spend time.
159
00:08:24,937 --> 00:08:28,074
It's about giving people
a believable and exciting world
160
00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:32,812
that's immersive and meaningful,
somewhere they can have fun
161
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:37,016
and, at the same time, tackle
some of life's bigger questions,
162
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:41,254
where they can face their fears,
and learn to find inspiration
163
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,624
and purpose.
>> Lily: I think that's what I
164
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:47,460
love most about it.
>> Daniel: And, listen, since
165
00:08:47,526 --> 00:08:50,529
we're discussing timetable, I
want to make a formal
166
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:52,598
announcement in March.
Let the world know
167
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:55,935
what's in store.
>> Devon: Which is in
168
00:08:56,002 --> 00:08:57,503
three months, man.
Don't you think that's a little
169
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:59,639
unrealistic?
170
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:08,848
>> Daniel: I promise you,
I can get far enough along
171
00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:11,517
to announce by March.
>> Devon: Well, I don't know
172
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:13,052
how you figure that
when you don't have a team
173
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:16,188
put together yet.
We don't have to rush anything,
174
00:09:16,255 --> 00:09:17,423
either.
You just said yourself that
175
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:19,292
if any part of the Omega-Sphere
isn't operating
176
00:09:19,358 --> 00:09:21,294
at the highest level,
then the whole experience
177
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,263
falls short, right?
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm, that's true.
178
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:26,299
But I'm going to be as honest
and as transparent as I can with
179
00:09:26,365 --> 00:09:28,234
you guys for this entire
process.
180
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:29,869
If I think that
there's going to be a problem,
181
00:09:29,936 --> 00:09:32,204
I'm not going to hesitate
to share it with you,
182
00:09:32,271 --> 00:09:34,507
because invested as I am
in this project,
183
00:09:34,573 --> 00:09:36,943
I'm not going to lose sight of
what's at stake for all of us.
184
00:09:37,009 --> 00:09:38,744
>> Devon: Well, I'm glad to hear
that, but still.
185
00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:40,813
>> Daniel: I realize that I've
set an ambitious timeline,
186
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,648
but I have identified
the elements I need,
187
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:47,753
and, I promise you,
it's all going to come together.
188
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:50,423
>> Lily: Look, let's just leave
it here, right,
189
00:09:50,489 --> 00:09:53,459
and just know that Devon
and I give you our full support
190
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,761
to get whatever talent you need.
>> Devon: We do.
191
00:09:55,828 --> 00:09:58,464
Just keep us
abreast on your progress.
192
00:09:58,531 --> 00:10:03,102
>> Daniel: Done.
>> Devon: Thank you very much.
193
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:04,370
On that note, I'm gonna take
off.
194
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:08,374
I need to get back to Dominic.
>> Lily: How are things going on
195
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,710
that front?
>> Devon: They're going well.
196
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:14,146
He's got two little teeth
coming in, so it's fun times.
197
00:10:14,213 --> 00:10:16,215
>> Daniel: You have to be
excited for Christmas.
198
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:18,084
I mean, experiencing that magic
through a child's eyes,
199
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:21,087
there's nothing quite like it.
>> Lily: I know, and now that
200
00:10:21,153 --> 00:10:22,421
he's older, he can appreciate it
more.
201
00:10:22,488 --> 00:10:24,023
>> Devon: I know, I know.
I can't wait for him
202
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,125
to make some real memories.
>> Lily: Well, give me a kiss
203
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:27,693
for me.
>> Devon: I will do that for
204
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,495
sure.
And, Daniel, congratulations
205
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:30,930
again, man.
I look forward to us all working
206
00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:32,732
together.
>> Daniel: Oh, thanks, man.
207
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:34,734
Me, too.
>> Devon: Alright, take it easy.
208
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,236
>> Lily: Bye.
Um, I should get going, too,
209
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:39,338
but I just want to say
I'm so happy that you're
210
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:41,841
back in town and that Devon
and I can help make your dream
211
00:10:41,907 --> 00:10:43,909
come true.
>> Daniel: Thank you for
212
00:10:43,976 --> 00:10:48,748
trusting me to make this happen.
I won't let you down.
213
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:52,018
>> Tucker: Both gestures were
from the heart -- the picnic
214
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:57,289
and the offer to help
you realize your potential.
215
00:10:57,356 --> 00:11:00,426
>> Ashley: I see.
>> Tucker: Just wanted to spend
216
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:02,361
some time with you alone
in a beautiful setting,
217
00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:06,565
and I would gladly
help you build your own business
218
00:11:06,632 --> 00:11:09,568
separate from Jabot.
Kind of the way you did when you
219
00:11:09,635 --> 00:11:12,304
decamped to Paris years ago.
>> Ashley: Mm.
220
00:11:12,371 --> 00:11:14,540
You heard about that?
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
221
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:18,711
I was impressed by it.
And with no one to stop you,
222
00:11:18,778 --> 00:11:21,447
you were really on the verge
of great things.
223
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:23,516
I was disappointed
when you closed up shop
224
00:11:23,582 --> 00:11:27,920
and merged with Jabot.
>> Ashley: That's why you came,
225
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:30,723
right?
That's why you're here?
226
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:32,958
You don't really want Jabot,
but you just want to convince me
227
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:37,263
to leave Jabot?
Or is it maybe a misguided
228
00:11:37,329 --> 00:11:41,300
attempt to protect me
before you decide to pounce
229
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:44,236
on my family's business?
>> Tucker: Boy, you know what'd
230
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:47,706
be nice?
If, for once, you just took me
231
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:51,677
at my word.
But...
232
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:55,881
I guess I knew that
earning your trust was going to
233
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:59,919
take time and patience.
>> Ashley: And then some.
234
00:11:59,985 --> 00:12:03,289
>> Tucker: My only interest is
you, Ashley.
235
00:12:03,355 --> 00:12:05,758
Your happiness.
I'm simply asking you to expand
236
00:12:05,825 --> 00:12:09,628
your idea of what that might
look like
237
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:13,099
and imagine a future,
a bright future
238
00:12:13,165 --> 00:12:15,868
if you were on your own.
>> Ashley: Okay, settle down.
239
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:19,004
I mean, really,
Jabot's in our blood, you know,
240
00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:20,439
it's part of our family.
It's part of me.
241
00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:21,674
It's why I came back from
Europe.
242
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:24,410
>> Tucker: Let Jack be the
legacy, then.
243
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:27,913
You're the only Abbott
with the drive to be a maverick
244
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:31,684
like your father was.
And you have so much talent
245
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:36,655
and expertise, I think
you should go on your own.
246
00:12:36,722 --> 00:12:40,793
>> Ashley: Then why do I need
you?
247
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:45,498
>> Tucker: You don't.
[ Scoffs, sighs ]
248
00:12:45,564 --> 00:12:48,567
Just know that you know
how good we are together.
249
00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:57,476
>> Ashley: Okay, well, I guess
it's time for me to go home.
250
00:12:57,543 --> 00:13:04,617
And I do want to thank you
because it was a lovely
251
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:19,532
and very surprising day.
Thank you.
252
00:13:38,851 --> 00:13:44,857
>> Jack: Oh, boy.
Luan gave me this ornament
253
00:13:44,924 --> 00:13:47,526
our first Christmas together.
You know what?
254
00:13:47,593 --> 00:13:50,029
I'm going to give this to Allie
when she comes home.
255
00:13:50,095 --> 00:13:51,964
Tell her the history
and invite her
256
00:13:52,031 --> 00:13:56,335
to hang it on the tree herself.
>> Traci: Oh, Jack, a surprise
257
00:13:56,402 --> 00:13:57,903
from a grandmother she never
knew.
258
00:13:57,970 --> 00:14:00,372
That's just magical.
>> Jack: Despite everything
259
00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:02,608
that's going on,
I am determined to make this
260
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:06,111
a magical first Christmas
for the newest Abbotts among us.
261
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:09,281
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
>> Traci: Summer, are you sure
262
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:11,951
that you brought all of the
boxes down from the attic?
263
00:14:12,017 --> 00:14:14,353
>> Summer: I thought I did.
Are we missing something?
264
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:16,555
>> Traci: I can't find
my favorite ornament.
265
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:20,726
It's little silver ice skates.
Katherine gave it to me
266
00:14:20,793 --> 00:14:23,896
when I was 6,
and it was in a box
267
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:26,398
that had a blue label
along with the star that goes
268
00:14:26,465 --> 00:14:28,400
on the top of the tree.
>> Summer: Want me to go check?
269
00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:30,603
>> Traci: Oh, no, no.
You know, I think I might know
270
00:14:30,669 --> 00:14:32,471
right where it is.
I will go get it,
271
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:37,009
and I'll be right back.
[ Chuckles ]
272
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:42,381
>> Jack: So, how did things go
at the cabin with your mother?
273
00:14:42,448 --> 00:14:45,217
>> Kyle: She's settled in.
There's plenty of food,
274
00:14:45,284 --> 00:14:46,785
firewood, and things to keep her
occupied.
275
00:14:46,852 --> 00:14:49,088
>> Jack: Oh, boy, this has got
to be especially difficult for
276
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:51,523
Diane.
She's hiding from the world
277
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,359
yet again.
>> Kyle: My mother was alone for
278
00:14:53,425 --> 00:14:55,894
so long, spent so many holidays
by herself,
279
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:58,998
and now she's missing her first
Christmas with Harrison.
280
00:14:59,064 --> 00:15:01,267
I could tell she's trying
to stay strong,
281
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:05,004
but I know it's crushing her.
>> Summer: [ Sighs ]
282
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,239
I feel like I should apologize
again for my mom
283
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:10,209
creating all of this chaos.
I mean, she lured
284
00:15:10,276 --> 00:15:13,479
this dangerous man to town
by claiming that Diane
285
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:15,547
turned him into the feds
without even knowing that that
286
00:15:15,614 --> 00:15:18,651
was true.
This man could resort to
287
00:15:18,717 --> 00:15:21,186
violence.
We have no idea.
288
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:23,555
I still think that we should go
to the police.
289
00:15:23,622 --> 00:15:26,191
>> Jack: Listen, Stark has been
very careful
290
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:28,894
about not breaking the law
since he's been in town.
291
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:31,196
Getting law enforcement
involved, I think it's a
292
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:32,531
mistake.
It would only bring
293
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:36,368
more attention on Diane.
No, Kyle and I have a plan, and
294
00:15:36,435 --> 00:15:38,437
we are going to see it through.
295
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:52,685

is magnificent.
296
00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:56,088
>> Summer: It really is.
>> Traci: I have set aside some
297
00:15:56,155 --> 00:15:57,389
ornaments for Ashley and for
Allie.
298
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:58,791
When they get home, they can
hang them.

to Harrison.
300
00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:03,662
>> Jack: Absolutely.
>> Traci: I just can't wait to
301
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:05,731
see that, him up on your
shoulders, putting the star on
302
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:07,399
the tippity-top.
>> Kyle: That's one of those
303
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:10,836
moments I'm going to treasure.
>> Traci: Well, listen, as much
304
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:13,572
fun as this has been,
until someone else gets home,
305
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,274
I think I'm going to go have
some drinks with a friend.
306
00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:17,910

>> Traci: Oh, I will. Thank you.

>> Traci: Look, for what it's
worth, Diane is absolutely
310
00:16:28,187 --> 00:16:32,257
devoted to you and to Harrison.
And she is a fighter.
311
00:16:32,324 --> 00:16:34,326
And she has so much
to fight for.
312
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:37,930
So I don't know how, but I just
have this feeling that somehow
313
00:16:37,996 --> 00:16:39,865
everything is going to work out
alright.

>> Chelsea: Wow, I'm really
happy Connor's not here.
325
00:17:25,677 --> 00:17:27,079
>> Billy: Yeah?
>> Chelsea: He used to love to
326
00:17:27,146 --> 00:17:28,514
make fun of me when I would sing
in the car.
327
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:30,382
>> Billy: That's good.
You should keep doing that.
328
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:33,218
>> Chelsea: Tormenting my
child's eardrums?
329
00:17:33,285 --> 00:17:35,654
>> Billy: That and singing out
loud.
330
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:38,357
It's good for you.
>> Chelsea: Okay.
331
00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:44,463
I will.
You know, the world had sort of
332
00:17:44,530 --> 00:17:49,802
faded to gray, and it feels like
I'm starting to see color again,
333
00:17:49,868 --> 00:17:53,205
little by little.
>> Billy: Yeah, I snuck a couple
334
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:56,642
little glances at you during the
movie just to make sure you were
335
00:17:56,708 --> 00:17:59,845
okay.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, I mean, some
336
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:02,614
scenes were difficult to watch,
but, ultimately,
337
00:18:02,681 --> 00:18:04,383
it's a story about someone
who comes to realize
338
00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:09,822
the true value of their life,
what a gift it is,
339
00:18:09,888 --> 00:18:13,192
what they mean to other people,
something I'm feeling
340
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:19,531
really strongly these days.
So to answer your question,
341
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:34,480
yeah, I'm okay.
>> Summer: Mom, you were fired.
342
00:18:34,546 --> 00:18:35,647
yeah, I'm okay.
>> Summer: Mom, you were fired.
343
00:18:35,714 --> 00:18:37,483
What are you doing here?
>> Phyllis: [ Clears throat ]
344
00:18:37,549 --> 00:18:39,952
I'm emptying out my office,
Summer.
345
00:18:40,018 --> 00:18:42,321
If you think I'm going to steal
something, have security follow
346
00:18:42,387 --> 00:18:44,690
me out.
>> Summer: [ Sighs ]
347
00:18:44,756 --> 00:18:48,227
I'm disappointed that it's come
to this, but it has.
348
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:51,330
>> Phyllis: You say that like
you had nothing to do with it,
349
00:18:51,396 --> 00:18:54,233
that my firing had something
to do with a natural disaster
350
00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:57,102
or something.
>> Summer: Well, I didn't really
351
00:18:57,169 --> 00:18:59,738
have much say in your decision
to bring Diane's recently
352
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:03,075
paroled ex to Genoa City, did I?
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, that was
353
00:19:03,141 --> 00:19:05,777
what I did in my personal time.
I mean, is it even legal
354
00:19:05,844 --> 00:19:08,247
to get fired for something
you do in your personal life?
355
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:10,415
>> Summer: First of all, yes, it
is.
356
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:12,618
It's called a morality clause.
It's in pretty much
357
00:19:12,684 --> 00:19:15,654
every employment contract.
And, secondly, Mom,
358
00:19:15,721 --> 00:19:18,290
you were repeatedly warned
that if the conflict
359
00:19:18,357 --> 00:19:20,993
with Diane continued,
that you would be let go.
360
00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:22,928
>> Phyllis: Well, we weren't
fighting in the office.
361
00:19:22,995 --> 00:19:25,364
In fact, I did my best to avoid
her.
362
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:27,666
>> Summer: But you were scheming
with Nikki and Ashley all the
363
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:30,335
while to drive her out of town.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, but we never
364
00:19:30,402 --> 00:19:35,607
did that on Marchetti property,
so I played by your rules.
365
00:19:35,674 --> 00:19:38,844
>> Summer: I am so sick of
arguing about this.
366
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:40,812
I'm really hoping, now that
you're not with Marchetti
367
00:19:40,879 --> 00:19:44,683
anymore, that maybe eventually
we can go back to being a family
368
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:50,656
again.
>> Phyllis: Are you serious?
369
00:19:50,722 --> 00:19:58,397
You fired me as an act of
solidarity with Diane Jenkins.
370
00:19:58,463 --> 00:20:01,400
You want me to get over it
and just move on?
371
00:20:08,206 --> 00:20:19,084
>> Jack: [ Exhales sharply ]
>> Jeremy: Well, look who's
372
00:20:19,151 --> 00:20:21,853
here.
So serious.
373
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:28,327
Oh, please, come in.
I heard your mom left town
374
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:30,295
again.
Oh, what a shame.
375
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:32,030
>> Kyle: Hey, don't look so
smug about it.
376
00:20:32,097 --> 00:20:34,099
>> Jack: Hey, simmer down.
That's not going to help us at
377
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:36,535
all.
378
00:20:44,509 --> 00:20:47,512
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
379
00:21:05,831 --> 00:21:08,767
>> Kyle: How my mother ever
allowed herself to get involved
380
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:12,137
with a guy like you,
I will never understand.
381
00:21:12,204 --> 00:21:13,672
>> Jeremy: I wouldn't expect you
to.
382
00:21:13,739 --> 00:21:15,774
>> Jack: Look, Diane got
involved in a lot of things in
383
00:21:15,841 --> 00:21:17,809
L.A. we didn't know about.
We certainly didn't expect
384
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:19,778
to be involved in this.
>> Kyle: Well, you don't have to
385
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:22,447
worry about it now.
She's gone.
386
00:21:22,514 --> 00:21:25,417
Whatever the truth is about
what happened between you,
387
00:21:25,484 --> 00:21:27,953
you scared her enough
where she ran out on us
388
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:30,555
without as much as a goodbye.
>> Jack: I told you not to do
389
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:31,857
this.
This is taking us farther away
390
00:21:31,923 --> 00:21:34,926
from why we're here.
>> Jeremy: Which is?
391
00:21:34,993 --> 00:21:39,898
>> Jack: We just want to talk.
Look, ever since you came to
392
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:42,534
town, you have been very careful
about not breaking the law.
393
00:21:42,601 --> 00:21:45,470
You're too smart for that.
Well, I am smart enough
394
00:21:45,537 --> 00:21:48,507
to get the message.
You apparently can elude
395
00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:51,743
security at your will,
and you are determined
396
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:54,613
to settle whatever score
you have with Diane.
397
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,384
Diane is gone
to. God knows where.
398
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:01,887
>> Jeremy: [ Chuckles ]
How convenient.
399
00:22:01,953 --> 00:22:04,423
>> Jack: Kyle and I had nothing
to do with any of your business
400
00:22:04,489 --> 00:22:08,560
dealings with Diane.
We thought she was dead.
401
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:12,197
There is nothing for you
here now.
402
00:22:12,264 --> 00:22:15,801
>> Jeremy: You wouldn't happen
to have stashed her away
403
00:22:15,867 --> 00:22:17,703
somewhere until I leave, would
you?
404
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:20,806
>> Kyle: Hey, it is almost
Christmas, and my son is in
405
00:22:20,872 --> 00:22:23,041
tears, wondering why his
grandmother isn't there,
406
00:22:23,108 --> 00:22:27,646
and I have to figure out a way
to explain to him when or even
407
00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:29,981
if we will ever see her.
>> Jack: Clearly, this is
408
00:22:30,048 --> 00:22:31,983
affecting my family.
I would like to straighten
409
00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:35,420
this out now.
Look, I offered you money
410
00:22:35,487 --> 00:22:37,155
before.
You turned me down.
411
00:22:37,222 --> 00:22:38,690
Now that Diane
is out of the picture,
412
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:43,161
we are as close as you are going
to get to being reimbursed.
413
00:22:43,228 --> 00:22:47,065
So let's work this out.
You can go about your business,
414
00:22:47,132 --> 00:22:50,135
and we can get back to our
lives in peace.
415
00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:57,409
>> Jeremy: Hm.
No promises.
416
00:22:57,476 --> 00:23:01,713
But...
I'll consider it.
417
00:23:04,282 --> 00:23:06,651
>> Summer: I know that it's
going to take time for you to
418
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:10,155
move on.
>> Phyllis: You know, you talk
419
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:13,391
about being one big, happy
family without any irony
420
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:17,129
in your voice at all.
It's truly fantastic.
421
00:23:17,195 --> 00:23:20,565
You know, I sold my hotel
so I could work with you.
422
00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:22,734
>> Summer: But it wasn't
really about working together,
423
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:24,870
and you know it.
>> Phyllis: All I wanted to do
424
00:23:24,936 --> 00:23:27,372
was protect you and support you.
That's all I wanted to do,
425
00:23:27,439 --> 00:23:30,342
Summer.
Yeah, it got messy.
426
00:23:30,408 --> 00:23:35,881
But something you should know
is your hands get messy
427
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:38,850
when you're a mom
and you're trying to protect
428
00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:41,186
the people you love.
And that's what I was
429
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:45,023
trying to do.
And contrary to Diane's belief,
430
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:48,326
no, no, it wasn't about
some petty resentment
431
00:23:48,393 --> 00:23:51,997
that I had toward her and her
getting close to the Abbotts
432
00:23:52,063 --> 00:23:54,366
and you and Jack.
>> Summer: Mom, don't try to
433
00:23:54,432 --> 00:23:55,967
pretend that that doesn't bother
you.
434
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,336
>> Phyllis: It bothers me
because she's trying to peddle
435
00:23:58,403 --> 00:24:02,307
some sanitized version
of her life in Los Angeles,
436
00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:04,776
and she's lying
and I know she's lying.
437
00:24:04,843 --> 00:24:07,679
I'll never trust her.
>> Summer: Okay, well, not
438
00:24:07,746 --> 00:24:09,147
everyone despises her as much as
you do.
439
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:12,350
>> Phyllis: Okay, you know what?
You know what? That's, um...
440
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:16,454
Yeah, Kyle doesn't despise her.
He wants to believe her lies
441
00:24:16,521 --> 00:24:18,824
because it's his mom,
so I get it.
442
00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:23,428
But it leaves him susceptible
to everything that she's doing.
443
00:24:23,495 --> 00:24:26,364
She is lying,
one lie after the other,
444
00:24:26,431 --> 00:24:29,701
and I've exposed everything,
but nobody seems to care.
445
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:35,340
And finally she was caught,
and what did she do?
446
00:24:35,407 --> 00:24:37,876
Huh?
She ran.
447
00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:40,445
That's what she did.
But she's Mother of the Year,
448
00:24:40,512 --> 00:24:42,047
isn't she?
>> Summer: I didn't trust her,
449
00:24:42,113 --> 00:24:44,616
either.
I defended you.
450
00:24:44,683 --> 00:24:47,652
But I'm sorry.
I can't justify you lying about
451
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:50,589
Kyle's mom to a convicted
criminal to get him to come
452
00:24:50,655 --> 00:24:53,258
after her.
You put us all in danger,
453
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,260
Harrison included.
And not only that, but you
454
00:24:55,327 --> 00:25:00,065
pitted me against my husband.
You hurt me, Mom.
455
00:25:00,131 --> 00:25:04,836
You betrayed me.
Because your sole focus
456
00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:09,708
was driving Diane away.
That is why I fired you.
457
00:25:09,774 --> 00:25:15,513
This is on you.
>> Billy: [ Sighs ]
458
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:18,049
>> Chelsea: Well, thanks for
spending this time with me.
459
00:25:18,116 --> 00:25:20,218
>> Billy: No need to thank me.
I had a good time.
460
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:23,221
>> Chelsea: Yeah, me, too.
I think Christmas is going to be
461
00:25:23,288 --> 00:25:25,991
a lot more meaningful this year,
considering everything I've been
462
00:25:26,057 --> 00:25:28,593
through.
Oh, and I have a gift for
463
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:29,961
Johnny.
I haven't wrapped it yet,
464
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:33,431
but I will give it to you
next time I see you.
465
00:25:33,498 --> 00:25:35,500
I know my last one
was not a great idea.
466
00:25:35,567 --> 00:25:36,868
>> Billy: Yeah, the baby
blanket.
467
00:25:36,935 --> 00:25:38,303
>> Chelsea: This one will be
better.
468
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:41,673
[ Chuckles ]
And you and Victoria, you can
469
00:25:41,740 --> 00:25:45,510
decide the appropriate time
to give it to him.
470
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:47,445
>> Billy: Okay.
>> Chelsea: And if it's okay
471
00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:49,648
with you guys, I'm hoping the
boys, Johnny and Connor, can
472
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:52,417
spend some time together over
the holidays.
473
00:25:52,484 --> 00:25:54,252
>> Billy: Yeah, we'll see if we
can make that work.
474
00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:58,757
You know, I'll talk to Victoria
about it.
475
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:01,960
>> Chelsea: I apologized to her
earlier, the way I apologized to
476
00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:04,262
you.
Seemed to go well,
477
00:26:04,329 --> 00:26:08,433
all things considered.
>> Billy: Good to know.
478
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:12,437
[ Knock on door ]
>> Chelsea: I'm hoping that will
479
00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:15,440
make Victoria more amenable.
You know, the boys have a great
480
00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:16,474
bond.
>> Billy: Mm.
481
00:26:16,541 --> 00:26:20,345
>> Chelsea: I'm hoping we can
encourage it.

>> Adam: Hi.
I hope this isn't a bad time.
483
00:26:33,558 --> 00:26:37,929
I just brought some gifts
for you and for, um, Connor.
484
00:26:37,996 --> 00:26:42,334
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
485
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,904
>> Billy: It's okay.
Just about to head out.
486
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,443
Well [clears throat] thank you
very much.
487
00:26:51,509 --> 00:26:53,311
I had a lovely time.
And, of course, I'll see you
488
00:26:53,378 --> 00:26:55,480
soon.
Plenty of more
489
00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:56,982
classic movies to watch.
>> Chelsea: I'll be sure to
490
00:26:57,048 --> 00:26:59,284
stock up on the popcorn.
>> Billy: Let me know
491
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:01,019
if you need anything, okay?
>> Chelsea: Thanks.
492
00:27:01,086 --> 00:27:02,120
>> Billy: Okay.
>> Chelsea: Bye.
493
00:27:02,187 --> 00:27:10,228
>> Billy: Bye.
Hey.
494
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:12,564
>> Adam: I'm still waiting on
a few things for Connor,
495
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:14,933
but I figured
I would get these to you.
496
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,435
>> Chelsea: Aww, that's nice.
I'll be sure to put these out
497
00:27:17,502 --> 00:27:20,405
for him.
>> Adam: Yeah, whatever works.
498
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,640
>> Chelsea: Oh, I'm very excited
for you to see the gift
499
00:27:22,707 --> 00:27:26,244
he's making for you.
That kid is creative.
500
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:30,315
>> Adam: Oh, I can't wait.
As long as I'm here, I figured
501
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:33,151
that we could just discuss
the holidays.
502
00:27:33,218 --> 00:27:35,053
I assume that you want to
do something low-key and avoid
503
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,425
the big Newman family gathering.
>> Chelsea: Actually, if it's
504
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:44,829
okay with you, I'd like to go.
I just saw Sharon earlier,
505
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:47,532
and she convinced me it's time
to face the world,
506
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,469
even the difficult parts.
I have to start trying to live
507
00:27:51,536 --> 00:27:57,909
a normal life again.
>> Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ]
508
00:28:00,378 --> 00:28:03,248
>> Tucker: Looks like someone's
having a hell of a day.
509
00:28:06,117 --> 00:28:09,788
>> Phyllis: Who asked you?
>> Tucker: No one.
510
00:28:09,854 --> 00:28:14,392
It was a comment, not a reply.
And I withdraw.
511
00:28:14,459 --> 00:28:20,065
Word to the wise --
stop fighting the world so hard.
512
00:28:20,131 --> 00:28:23,134
The more at peace you are,
the more things go your way.
513
00:28:25,804 --> 00:28:33,078
>> Phyllis: Thanks for that.
>> Daniel: Mom.
514
00:28:33,144 --> 00:28:35,013
>> Phyllis: Hey, baby.
>> Daniel: Hey.
515
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,082
>> Phyllis: Hey.
Oh, my goodness.
516
00:28:37,148 --> 00:28:39,784
I'm so glad I ran into you.
I'm so glad.
517
00:28:39,851 --> 00:28:42,020
>> Daniel: You're smiling so
hard, it looks like it hurts.
518
00:28:42,087 --> 00:28:44,589
What's up?
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
519
00:28:45,590 --> 00:29:00,472
Um, hey, let's go.
>> Daniel: Talk to me.
520
00:29:00,538 --> 00:29:01,306
Um, hey, let's go.
>> Daniel: Talk to me.
521
00:29:01,372 --> 00:29:04,909
>> Phyllis: Um, okay, well,
uh...
522
00:29:04,976 --> 00:29:07,078
[ Sighs ]
I'm not working
523
00:29:07,145 --> 00:29:09,314
at Marchetti anymore.
>> Daniel: Whoa, whoa.
524
00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:11,983
What? Why?
>> Phyllis: You know, Summer and
525
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:17,155
I, we mutually agreed
we just have different visions.
526
00:29:17,222 --> 00:29:20,492
>> Daniel: Uh-huh.
Okay.
527
00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:22,694
What's the real story?
>> Phyllis: Uh, does it matter?
528
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:33,638
I mean, it's all good.
Anyway, the worst part about it
529
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:39,410
is I did so much work.
I created the entire division
530
00:29:39,477 --> 00:29:45,383
and someone's just going to jump
in and just make it succeed.
531
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:46,751
>> Daniel: So you're free and
clear?
532
00:29:46,818 --> 00:29:50,488
>> Phyllis: Yeah. Thanks.
I mean, that is the positive
533
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:53,258
spin.
>> Daniel: Then come work with
534
00:29:53,324 --> 00:30:04,802
me.
>> Lily: Hi.
535
00:30:04,869 --> 00:30:08,206
>> Billy: Hi.
You got here fast.
536
00:30:08,273 --> 00:30:10,108
Do you want a coffee or tea or
something?
537
00:30:10,175 --> 00:30:13,411
>> Lily: Maybe in a minute.
Should we sit?
538
00:30:13,478 --> 00:30:16,848
>> Billy: Yeah.
>> Lily: Okay.
539
00:30:16,915 --> 00:30:21,886
>> Billy: [ Clears throat ]
>> Lily: How's Chelsea doing?
540
00:30:21,953 --> 00:30:24,522
>> Billy: She's good.
She's getting stronger every
541
00:30:24,589 --> 00:30:26,891
day.
>> Lily: Good. Sounds positive.
542
00:30:26,958 --> 00:30:31,429
>> Billy: Yeah, I think so.
>> Lily: You seemed a little off
543
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,965
when I came in.
Did something happen?
544
00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:37,001
>> Billy: Adam happened.
He showed up at Chelsea's door,
545
00:30:37,068 --> 00:30:39,137
and he oozes misery.
And I just don't think that
546
00:30:39,204 --> 00:30:44,609
that's good for her right now.
>> Lily: Well, it kind of seems
547
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,477
like you think
you're the only one who knows
548
00:30:46,544 --> 00:30:52,217
what's good for her right now.
>> Kyle: I couldn't get a read
549
00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:53,484
on Stark.
Could you?
550
00:30:53,551 --> 00:30:56,487
>> Jack: Like all good liars,
he's very opaque, though I must
551
00:30:56,554 --> 00:30:57,822
say, your performance was very
believable.
552
00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:59,724
>> Kyle: That's because my
hatred for him is real.
553
00:30:59,791 --> 00:31:04,195
Question is, did he buy it?
[ Footsteps approaching ]
554
00:31:04,262 --> 00:31:06,397
>> Summer: Please tell me it's
done.
555
00:31:06,464 --> 00:31:08,333
>> Jack: We did everything we
could.
556
00:31:08,399 --> 00:31:17,742
Now we wait.
>> Ashley: Hi.
557
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:19,077
Kyle, you're back from
your business trip.
558
00:31:19,143 --> 00:31:21,913
How was it?
>> Kyle: Uh, g-good.
559
00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:26,351
Productive.
>> Summer: What do you think
560
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:29,787
about the tree?
>> Ashley: Wow.
561
00:31:29,854 --> 00:31:31,823
Did you do that?
>> Summer: Most of it.
562
00:31:31,889 --> 00:31:34,325
>> Ashley: Beautiful.
You did a fantastic job.
563
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:37,262
>> Summer: Thank you.
I enjoyed doing it.
564
00:31:41,266 --> 00:31:44,669
>> Ashley: Okay, so you all got
very quiet when I came in.
565
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:47,372
Anybody want to tell me
what's going on?
566
00:31:57,415 --> 00:31:59,517
>> Daniel: It is official, as of
today.
567
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:01,552
Chancellor-Winters will be
launching my new gaming
568
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:03,688
platform.
>> Phyllis: What?
569
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:06,491
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm.
>> Phyllis: This is amazing.
570
00:32:06,557 --> 00:32:08,393
Congratulations.
>> Daniel: Thank you.
571
00:32:08,459 --> 00:32:11,596
Yeah, I'm just a little excited.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
572
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:13,631
Oh, my gosh.
Tell me everything.
573
00:32:13,698 --> 00:32:16,367
>> Daniel: It's not, you know,
just gaming as most people know
574
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:17,969
it.
I mean, this is a complex
575
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:19,771
multiverse, and it doesn't
isolate.
576
00:32:19,837 --> 00:32:23,107
It expands.
And it deals with people's,
577
00:32:23,174 --> 00:32:26,177
like, hopes and their fears
and their dreams.
578
00:32:26,244 --> 00:32:28,212
>> Phyllis: Wow.
That's very cutting edge.
579
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,381
>> Daniel: Uh-huh.
I know.
580
00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:31,649
I got a few coders
that I'd like to hire.
581
00:32:31,716 --> 00:32:33,451
You know, they can get started
on the nitty-gritty.
582
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:36,988
But you know what I need?
What I need is a heavy hitter.
583
00:32:37,055 --> 00:32:39,490
I need someone senior
that can come in,
584
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:41,859
they can build, they can manage
the team of designers,
585
00:32:41,926 --> 00:32:46,230
all the tech people.
I need someone I can trust,
586
00:32:46,297 --> 00:32:49,667
someone who can see to the
day-to-day stuff while I'm
587
00:32:49,734 --> 00:32:52,470
staying focused on the big
picture.
588
00:32:52,537 --> 00:32:55,440
Someone like you.
>> Phyllis: I love that,
589
00:32:55,506 --> 00:32:58,643
because, you know, your sister
doesn't seem to trust me, so...
590
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:01,045
>> Daniel: Well, I don't agree
with her.
591
00:33:01,112 --> 00:33:04,916
I see things differently.
Look, you are an avid gamer.
592
00:33:04,982 --> 00:33:06,884
You're also a hacker
from back in the day.
593
00:33:06,951 --> 00:33:10,054
>> Phyllis: Shh.
>> Daniel: You love this world.
594
00:33:10,121 --> 00:33:11,422
You know the languages inside
and out.
595
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:13,725
I mean, this makes sense.
I would love for you
596
00:33:13,791 --> 00:33:19,664
to join me on this.
>> Billy: You know, you almost
597
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:24,669
sounded a little...
>> Lily: Hostile?
598
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:28,172
I mean, maybe so.
I just -- I don't feel like I
599
00:33:28,239 --> 00:33:31,376
know at all what's going on
inside your head these days.
600
00:33:31,442 --> 00:33:33,211
>> Billy: Because you have a
problem with how much time
601
00:33:33,277 --> 00:33:35,847
I'm spending with Chelsea.
>> Lily: No, Billy, like I said,
602
00:33:35,913 --> 00:33:40,218
this is not just about Chelsea,
and this is way too big
603
00:33:40,284 --> 00:33:45,490
for us to ignore.
So if you want to work
604
00:33:45,556 --> 00:33:47,992
on this relationship,
if you still care about it --
605
00:33:48,059 --> 00:33:51,963
>> Billy: Lily, yes, of course I
do.
606
00:33:52,029 --> 00:33:55,533
>> Lily: Well, then I think
that we need help.
607
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,271
I think that we should go
to couple's counseling.
608
00:34:00,338 --> 00:34:02,507
>> Billy: Okay, what I hear you
saying is that you think
609
00:34:02,573 --> 00:34:05,076
I'm heading off the rails again.
>> Lily: No, no.
610
00:34:05,143 --> 00:34:08,379
This is not about you.
This is about us.
611
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:11,816
And this is really,
really important to me.
612
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:15,887
And I don't feel confident that
we can handle this on our own.
613
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:24,395
>> Billy: Okay.
Yes, let's do that.
614
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:27,064
Let's, um...
Let's set something up
615
00:34:27,131 --> 00:34:34,806
for after the holidays.
>> Lily: Thank you.
616
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:42,847
>> Jack: The only thing we are
up to is trimming the tree and
617
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:44,982
trying to engender some holiday
spirit.
618
00:34:45,049 --> 00:34:46,984
>> Kyle: We left some more
amounts for you to hang.
619
00:34:47,051 --> 00:34:49,887
>> Summer: Yeah, Traci has them
in this box over here.
620
00:34:49,954 --> 00:34:55,393
>> Ashley: Oh, well, how sweet.
Well, okay, then.
621
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:57,094
I guess it's been a long day.
I'm going to go upstairs and
622
00:34:57,161 --> 00:35:10,875
take a bath.
>> Jack: [ Sighs ]
623
00:35:13,177 --> 00:35:15,613
>> Summer: How did things go
with Stark?
624
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,815
>> Jack: He said he would
consider my offer.
625
00:35:17,882 --> 00:35:20,384
>> Kyle: There's no telling how
long he will drag this out for.
626
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:24,088
>> Summer: Or if we could
even trust him.
627
00:35:24,155 --> 00:35:26,123
>> Kyle: I'm thinking about
going back up to the cabin so my
628
00:35:26,190 --> 00:35:28,459
mom doesn't feel so abandoned
tomorrow.
629
00:35:28,526 --> 00:35:30,928
>> Summer: On Christmas Eve?
>> Jack: Wait, Kyle, I know you
630
00:35:30,995 --> 00:35:35,733
want to do this for Diane,
but I think that's risky.
631
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,437
>> Jeremy: I still have business
here Genoa City.
632
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:43,107
No, I have some stuff here
I need to take care of
633
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:45,076
on my own.
>> Kyle: I'll be careful
634
00:35:45,142 --> 00:35:47,311
to fly under the radar.
Stark won't have a clue.
635
00:35:47,378 --> 00:35:49,180
>> Jack: You hope.
>> Summer: Kyle, I really wish
636
00:35:49,247 --> 00:35:50,748
you would reconsider.
>> Kyle: You didn't see the
637
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:53,117
tears in my mother's eyes when I
said goodbye to her earlier.
638
00:35:53,184 --> 00:35:56,320
I can't stand the thought of her
being up there alone,
639
00:35:56,387 --> 00:36:00,024
not on Christmas.
>> Summer: [ Sighs ]
