Billy: Well, you missed a doozy of a party last night.
Victoria: Well, no black eyes, no bruises. You don’t seem hungover. Those are all very positive signs.
Billy: No, I was on very good behavior, although some of the other guests, not so much.
Victoria: Really?
Billy: Yeah. There is a new troublemaker in town, and she is not afraid to take on the big dogs. Her name…
Victoria: Drum roll…
Billy: Sally spectra.
Victoria: Oh, really? What has sally pulled now?
Sally: Good morning.
Lily: And I think you’ll find everything in order, as we discussed.
Elena: [ Sighs ] I could only imagine what kind of glamorous perks newman media was gonna counter-offer with.
Lily: Wait. Newman media tried to steal you away?
Elena: Yeah. Nate didn’t tell you? Victor asked me last night if i had already signed my contract with chanccomm. He was apparently gonna make me this lucrative offer.
Lily: [ Exhales sharply ] Oh, my god. I cannot believe they would try to poach you like that.
[ Sighs ] Okay, well, I guess the gloves are off. The competition has officially begun.
[ Door closes ]
Sharon: Victor. Um, dominic and his entourage should be here pretty soon.
Victor: [ Chuckles ] This looks wonderful here. How is mariah doing after her ordeal?
Sharon: You know, she’s really going through a rough time, and we’re all doing everything we can to help her.
Victor: Oh, well, considering what mariah has done for abby, it will not be forgotten.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Sharon: Oh, um, that’s probably them now.
Victor: Oh. Wow.
Ashley: The grandmas have arrived!
Nina: [ Chuckles ]
Nick: All in all, I’d say the launch was a huge success. Newman media is off to a great start. I mean, adam even brought up the new hope tie-in in his opening speech.
Devon: Oh, that’s great, man. I apologize for not being there.
Nick: [ Chuckling ] Oh, come on, man. You’ve got enough going on. I can imagine when you signed on to help chance and abby create a baby, you didn’t think that you’d be literally delivering the baby, as well.
Devon: Dude, you have no idea. And the hardest part of the whole thing wasn’t even the actual birth. It was trying to wrap my mind around what the hell stitch did.
Nick: Yeah. Shocking. But you know what? It all worked out. And you, my friend, ended up looking like a real hero.
Mariah: Uh, hey, abby, have they heard anything about stitch at all? Does rey know where he is?
Abby: No, but I still believe that since he took max out of that care facility, he wouldn’t risk coming back here.
Tessa: Well, if he knows what’s good for him, he won’T. I hope him and max are far, far away from G.C.
Abby: You don’t have to worry. Devon hired extra security at the house. You’re gonna be safe.
Mariah: And dominic will be, too.
Tessa: Yeah.

Adam: Good morning.
Sally: I didn’t expect to see you up and out so early this morning.
Adam: Sally, relax.
Sally: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say ’cause after that kiss last night and you telling me that nothing like that can ever happen again, I can’t help but wonder what you might think of me in the cold light of day.
Adam: Oh, you mean this awkwardness — it had nothing to do with your little champagne and ice battle with phyllis?
Sally: She deserved that, and you know it. But, yes, yes, I do feel a little bit guilty about that. I’m just glad there’s not a meme of me drenched going viral somewhere ’cause that’s the last thing you need as the takeaway from your big event.
Adam: No, the night was an unqualified success, even if everybody did get a little side of drama with their shrimp puffs.
Sally: So, where does this leave us? We good?
Adam: We are good.
Sally: Great. So…dinner then?
Victoria: So, sally and adam — they showed up together at the party? Wow. Well, I have to say, the two of them royally deserve one another.
Billy: That’s actually not the only embarrassing moment sally had last night. She got into a drink-throwing competition with phyllis, ended up with a bucket of ice poured over her head.
Victoria: Oh, well, for the first time, I think I’m gonna have to side with phyllis after what sally pulled on summer. But I do not regret missing that party because I spent some quality time with our children.
Billy: Well, I’m not knocking you spending quality time with the children, of course, but nick told me that the reason you and ashland weren’t at the party is because he had his last chemo session. I hope he’s doing okay.
Victoria: Do you? Do you really? I mean, if you really cared, would you be going full steam ahead with your little locke story? You know, the one that was supposed to be about tara?
Billy: News is news.
Victoria: Yeah, well, I have a feeling it’s about more than that. You profess on one hand to be so supportive, but your focus of the investigation has shifted from the actual criminal, tara, and you’re now zeroing in on ashland.
Billy: I will always support you and our children, of course. It is your best interests that i have at heart.
Victoria: Well, that’s a good thing, but you have to understand that ashland is not the enemy here. I know you, billy. You just can’t help yourself. You will over-play anything negative that your reporters turn up, and you’ll use it to make ashland look bad.
Billy: Whatever we publish, it’ll be unbiased and fair.
Victoria: Well, I wish i could believe that, but I can already tell that this is going in an aggressive direction.
Billy: You feel that way because you sense it, too. Ashland is hiding something big.
Nate: Ashland. How you feeling?
Ashland: I’m doing much better. Thank you. Those supplements you gave me are definitely helping.
Nate: Glad to hear it.
Ashland: Now I want to repay the favor.
Nate: Hey, that’s absolutely not necessary.
Ashland: Well, uh, don’t turn it down until you see the number.
Nate: Seriously, it’s not that big of a deal.
[ Sighs ] Okay, are — are you kidding me? Look, I don’t know what those doctors in manhattan are charging you, but this — this is insane. Those supplements weren’t lined with gold or crushed diamonds.
Ashland: I’m well aware. This money is not for you.
Sharon: Abby’s gonna be so thrilled that the two of you are here.
Ashley: I’m just thrilled we were able to make it here in time for dominic’s homecoming.
Nina: Our little grandson.
Ashley: I know!
Nina: He truly is a miracle baby. I mean, we’re lucky he made it, in spite of everything that stitch did.
Ashley: I know. I can’t believe he put that child in such jeopardy, not to mention what he did to mariah.
Nina: It’s over now. Everyone’s safe and sound.
Ashley: Yeah. And we just have to be grateful, right? Because even though dominic was early, his vitals are healthy and strong. And we can just focus on the positive now.
Nina: Yeah. I’m just missing one thing. I — I really wish I could talk to chance.
Victor: Well, now, I wish he were here to welcome his son home.
Nina: Yeah. But I am not going to let anything get me down today. And, besides, chance wouldn’t want us missing him and worrying about him today. He’d want us to have a joyous and memorable homecoming for abby and the baby and mariah.
Tessa: Okay. So, how are you feeling?
Mariah: Uh…can’t lie. I’m — I’m a little anxious. My nerves are on edge just thinking about leaving here.
Tessa: Why? Most people are thrilled to leave the hospital.
Mariah: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but I just felt so safe here. And bowie was right down the hall, and I… when we go back to abby’s, the entire dynamic is gonna shift, and…I have to remember to start calling him dominic.
Tessa: I know that this is gonna be really difficult, but we’re still living at the chancellor house, so you’ll get to see the baby every day.
Mariah: Yeah. You’re right. You’re right. You know, it’s gonna be a lot better just knowing that he’s close by and I can see him and I can watch over him. It’s gonna be okay. It will be okay. It has to be okay.
Abby: The paperwork’s all taken care of. Now, let’s bring our baby boy home.
Frank is a fan of fast.
He’s a fast talker.
Billy: Come on. Be honest with me. Be honest with yourself. How much do you really know about ashland’s past — more specifically, his early years in the business world?
Victoria: So, it was you digging around in ashland’s past. Lily wouldn’t admit it outright.
Billy: There’s nothing to admit if his past was squeaky-clean, but it’s not.
Victoria: Okay, so, what are you gonna do? Are you just gonna keep digging around until you uncover something negative and then run a headline about it? Well, I have a news flash for you, billy. You dig around in anyone’s past long enough, you’ll find someone willing to trash them.
Billy: Victoria, it’s a very logical question. How did ashland pay for those two news stations? There is no record of bank loans or other investors, and it begs the question — what is the nature of his relationship with a much older, very wealthy mentor?
Victoria: Okay. That’s enough. Stay out of ashland’s life. Stay out of our lives.
Billy: Victoria, where’d the money come from? What’s he hiding, vick?
Nick: What the hell was that about?
Billy: I think I hit a nerve.
Chloe: Hey, guys.
Adam: Chloe. Hey, we missed you at the launch party last night.
Chloe: Yeah, it looks like i missed a lot. Sorry I missed it. Miles wasn’t feeling well.
Sally: Well, I’m sure you’re gonna hear about this sooner or later eventually, so you might as well hear about it from me. Phyllis and I got into it again.
Chloe: Ah, why am I not surprised?
Adam: Sally is totally underselling it. She threw a glass of champagne in phyllis’s face, and phyllis retaliated by pouring an ice bucket over her head.
Sally: Okay, you left out the part where phyllis goaded me into it.
Chloe: Adam, you know their dynamic. Why didn’t you keep an eye on them to make sure that things didn’t get out of control?
Adam: Thanks, chloe. I know that you can always find a reason to blame me for anything.
Chloe: [ Sighs ] So, what sort of damage control are we talking about here?
Sally: None, actually, whatsoever. Nobody posted a video of it, the press didn’t get a hold of it, and I’m sure that is a testament to adam’s outstanding P.R. Management.
Adam: Ah, she’s giving me more credit than I deserve. It was, uh, mostly just dumb luck. But I’m sure that you’ve noticed all the positive buzz we’ve gotten, so you should use that to your advantage for the fashion platform.
Chloe: Yeah, I’m already on it.
Adam: Oh, you should ask sally about the idea she came up with last night at the launch. It might be just what we need. Anyway, uh, I’ll see you at the office later.
Chloe: Well, I bet I know exactly what your great idea is all about.
Lily: God, newman media will stoop so low to beat chanccomm by any means necessary.
Elena: Lily, it’s totally fine. I am signing this contract. And just to make things perfectly clear, I didn’t entertain victor’s offer for even a second.
Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. I’m very grateful for that. Loyalty is huge for me. And I promise you it will be repaid. And I’m already excited about all of your ideas.
Elena: Well, that means a lot coming from someone as accomplished as you are.
Lily: Aww. I don’t know about all that, but — [ Chuckles ]
Elena: Oh, I do. I’ve watched you step into this high-powered position with such poise and grace. How could I not admire you?
Lily: Thank you. I mean, it’s been a very long journey to get here.
Elena: Hey, lily, can I ask you a question?
Lily: Yeah, of course.
Elena: Actually, never mind. I don’t want to be intrusive, especially since you are now my boss.
Lily: Alright. You know what? We need to fix that.
Elena: What do you mean?
Lily: Well, we are officially off the clock, okay? And we are gonna go out, and we’re gonna have some long-overdue girl talk.
[ Both laugh ]
Ashley: Can you believe our abby’s a mother? She’s a mommy!
Victor: This is your first grandchild. Welcome to the club. It’s wonderful beyond anything you can imagine.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Devon: Hey!
Sharon: Hey! Did you buy the whole baby store?!
Devon: [ Chuckling ] Oh, no. Hello, everyone.
Victor: Oh, my goodness. Devon.
Ashley: Hi!
Devon: How are you? I just, uh —
Victor: Look at that.
Devon: I just came by to drop off these gifts. But, uh, I don’t want to crowd abby and mariah today. I know it’s a special moment for them.
Sharon: No, it’s a special moment for you, too. You should stay.
Nina: I see them! They’re here.
Devon: Yeah.
Sharon: Welcome, mariah.
Mariah: Hi. Wow.
Devon: Hey.
Ashley: Hi.
Victor: Hello, mariah.
Nina: Hi!
Devon: Looking good.
Abby: Oh, my gosh. Hi!
Nina: Oh!
Devon: There he is.
Abby: [ Sighing ] Ooh! Welcome, dominic, to your new home and family.
Abby: Oh, my gosh. Dominic, this is your grandma. This is grandma ashley.
Nina: Oh, my goodness.
Abby: She is my mom. And this is your other grandma, nana nina. This is chance’s mom.
Ashley: Abby, he’s just beautiful.
Abby: I know. [ Laughs ]
Ashley: Perfect. What a beautiful boy.
Abby: My gosh, dominic, look at all of these decorations.
[ Gasps ] You guys, you really went overboard. Thank you for making this day even more special.
Victor: You are lucky. You know that, don’t you?
Abby: [ Chuckles ]
Victor: Huh? You know what family you were born into, full of loving family members, the newmans, abbotts, chancellors, all loving you. You’ll be spoiled. You know that.
[ Laughter ] Yes. You’re the perfect mother.
Abby: Thank you.
Sally: I don’t know what you’re insinuating, chloe, but nothing happened between me and adam last night.
Chloe: Hey, I am not judging. I just saw the pictures online of you arriving on adam’s arm, and you two looked pretty cozy. So, just how did that happen, sally?
Sally: It was a completely innocent, last-minute thing.
Chloe: Nothing with adam is ever innocent. And after all the warnings i gave you, you just had to play with fire. So, how far did it go?
Sally: Things did heat up a little bit between us, but it was just a little.
Chloe: [ Scoffs ] Okay, there is no such thing as little heat. It’s either hot or it’s not. So, what happened?
Sally: It — it was an impulsive kiss, but it didn’t go any farther than that.
Chloe: Well [Sighs] At least you had the sense to slam on the brakes.
Sally: Actually, I was the one who initiated the kiss. It was adam who hit the brakes so hard and so fast I almost got whiplash. He — he’s the one that thought it was a mistake. He said that he was toxic.
Chloe: So, how many people have to tell you that before you finally hear it? Didn’t hearing it from the horse’s mouth at least give you pause?
Sally: Yeah, but isn’t acknowledging that he has a problem a sign of growth?
Chloe: Like a fungus or a wart?
[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. I just don’t understand how a woman who has such good taste in clothes has such bad taste in men. Adam is uniquely diabolical. No matter how strong or savvy you think you are, he will find a way to wreck you.
Sally: Doesn’t the fact that I can hold my own against phyllis give you any sort of confidence that I can handle difficult people?
Chloe: Why do you want to be in a relationship with a difficult person? Speaking from experience, being in a healthy relationship is like playing everything on easy mode.
Sally: That just sounds a little boring. No offense.
Chloe: Clearly, you’re not gonna take my advice on this, and I obviously can’t stop you from pursuing him, so let me just leave you with one last word of warning.
Sally: More warnings?
Chloe: His and chelsea’s son, connor — he hasn’t had the easiest life, and that poor little boy still thinks that his parents are in a relationship. It is a very difficult situation. So, whatever connection you think that you might have with adam, it is going to get a lot messier before it gets easier.
Nate: Why give me this check if it’s not for me?
Ashland: Victoria told me that her mother volunteered to help you fund-raise for a new wing at the hospital. Consider this half a wing.
Nate: Wow. Uh… I appreciate your generosity, but, uh… I hope you don’t think I was after anything. I treated you the way I would treat anyone I saw in trouble.
Ashland: No, I don’t doubt that for a second. It still doesn’t change my desire to repay your kindness.
Nate: Well, since you’re determined to give this to me, let me at least fill you in on exactly where this money would be going. I would love to give you a proper pitch on how we would use this new wing and why the hospital needs it.
Ashland: Oh, that’s fine. Uh, but let’s not make it too proper.
Nate: Okay. What do you suggest?
Ashland: Why don’t we discuss it over a meal or drinks? I’ll bring victoria, and i believe she tells me that you’re seeing someone?
Nate: Yes. My girlfriend, elena.
Ashland: Oh, good. Well, let’s bring her, too. And when we’re done with the shop talk, we can talk about anything and everything non-medical.
Nate: [ Chuckles ] I appreciate your sincerity and generosity. Your contribution can help save a lot of lives. Well, uh, on that note, I have got to run, but, uh, we will be in touch.
Ashland: Look forward to it.
Nate: Victoria. Good to see you. I, um, guess we will be seeing more of each other real soon.
Victoria: I look forward to it. You two seem to have really bonded since he helped you out the other day.
Ashland: He is quite an impressive person. And I hope you don’t mind that i included you in dinner plans with nate and his girlfriend.
Victoria: No, of course not. That’s a lovely idea.
Ashland: Are you okay? You seem distracted.
Victoria: Uh…I had a run-in with billy. It just seems that no matter what I say, he’s bound and determined to find something damning in your past. Why give your family just ordinary eggs
“The young and the restless”
will continue.
Lily: Thank you. The best part is just being able to give jobs to some of the women that I was in prison with, you know? And seeing them turn their lives around like that, I just — I feel really grateful that I’m able to be a part of that.
Elena: Lily, that is so amazing. And I can’t even imagine how difficult that time must have been for you.
Lily: Yeah, it was really, really hard. But the hardest part was just not having my family around. I just missed them so much.
Elena: Yeah, but look at you now. You put all of that behind you, and you fought your way back.
Lily: Yeah. Now my family is pulled together again, you know? And I try to see mattie and charlie as much as I can. And hopefully they’ll come back to genoa city. I mean, a mother can hope.
Elena: [ Laughs ] That would be great.
Lily: Yeah. Now devon and nate have made peace, which is great.
Elena: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I still feel pretty guilty about my part in all of that.
Lily: No. Look, you also played a huge role in bringing them back together again.
Elena: [ Sighs ] That’s kind of you to say, but —
Lily: No. Hey, listen. I’m not just saying that. I am really, really happy that you’re a part of our family.
Elena: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. It’s really nice to know that you feel that way about me.
Lily: [ Chuckles ]
Elena: And now we have a new baby in the family. Well, sort of.
Lily: I know. My god. It’s so weird. It’s like devon’s a dad, but he’s not.
Elena: I know. And is it wrong to say congratulations even though it kind of feels right?
Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I mean, having gone through the surrogacy thing myself, I just really believe that everything’s gonna work out just fine.
Ashley: Look at you. You are so precious. You’re such a beautiful boy.
Devon: You know, mariah really does deserve all the credit for keeping him safe, with everything she went through.
Nina: Yeah. Mariah, I hope you know how grateful we all are to you.
Ashley: So grateful. And I’m so sorry that you had to endure all that. I still can’t comprehend it, i mean, that the ben rayburn i knew was capable of doing something like that.
Sharon: Well, we were all shocked.
Nina: How did you get through it? I mean, you must have been going crazy.
Mariah: Uh, I was, um… yeah, I was frightened, um, confused. I was really lonely, too.
Ashley: I can’t imagine. Do you have any idea why he held you captive like that?
Mariah: No, I… I mean, I-I didn’t — I —
Tessa: Hey, uh, everybody, i think that mariah could use some fresh air. She might be feeling a little claustrophobic after being locked away for so long.
Abby: That’s a great idea, tessa.
Mariah: Thanks. Okay.
Devon: See ya.
Nina: It takes an incredible amount of courage to go through an ordeal like that.
Ashley: I know. She’s a very strong woman. I have a lot of respect for how she’s handling all this.
Sharon: Well, I’m really proud of her. But we can’t disregard the severity of what she’s been through.
Billy: The more I questioned victoria, the more upset she got, until she stormed out.
Nick: Billy, you know my sister. She does not like to be challenged.
Billy: I think she’s more worried about ashland than she wants to admit. And I do know her. When she gets defensive like that, it’s usually because she’s concerned.
Nick: Or maybe she’s just annoyed at your inability to let her live her own life.
Billy: Nick, think about it for a second. She had no answer to how ashland got the money to buy those two news organizations. It was his first deal in a very young career, okay? And it was a lot of money.
Nick: Maybe his mentor privately financed the whole investment to breathe life into her dead husband’s holdings. It could be something as simple as that.
Billy: Yeah, like a favor, off the books, on her deathbed. Sounds super simple.
Nick: I don’t want to argue about this with you, alright? Now, I will say this. I’d be a lot more inclined to go down this path with you if you had something more than suspicions, but you got nothing except this deep desire to find something damning about this man that my sister’s currently with.
Billy: Hold on a second. I have said this before, and I’ll say it again. This is not about jealousy or possessiveness. This is about protecting my children.
Nick: And victoria — because you think she needs your protection.
Billy: Victoria can take on ashland locke with two hands tied behind her back any given day, as long as she has the facts.
Nick: How do you know she doesn’t already?
Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, maybe she’s not asking these big questions because of this colossal merger that’s on her mind. Or maybe it’s because of her fiancé’s fatal illness. Either way, it’s possible, isn’t it? Tell me I’m wrong.
Victor: You’re always wrong, billy boy. Besides, this is none of your business.
Seeing blood when you brush or floss can be a sign of early gum damage.
Sally: Well, surprise, surprise. We meet again.
Adam: I was, uh — I was just meeting with a huge advertiser. Hope you don’t think that I’m stalking you.
Sally: Didn’t even occur to me. I just came in here to change in the gym ’cause it’s a lot closer than going all the way home. Plus, I will take any opportunity to tick phyllis off. She just has to deal with my presence. You know, if you have a minute, there’s something that I would like to address.
Adam: Alright. Is there an issue at the office?
Sally: Well, in a way, it is about work because this job is very important to me and I want to get this right.
Adam: Okay.
Sally: I’ve been thinking that I might like to hit the reset button on where things stand between us. I think we should go back to the way things were before that kiss.
Billy: Of course you’re gonna try and discredit me, but i think, on this one, we’re on the same page.
Victor: Oh, yeah? I doubt that.
Billy: Of course you would.
Victor: By the way, billy boy, I hear from one of my newman media employees that you were sneaking around my private suite at the grand phoenix last night. Don’t do it again, alright?
Billy: You think about what i said.
Nick: You didn’t want billy to know that I was the one who told you about the break-in.
Victor: No. No…because I need information from his sources. I don’t want to cut that off, okay?
Nick: Billy may not seem trustworthy, dad, but I know he’ll do everything he can to prevent ashland from hurting victoria. We all will.
Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] Hope so.
Nick: Well, so far, he seems very open to keeping me in the loop.
Victor: [ Sighs ] Okay. Good. You know, I can’t stand that guy. And I am dying to blow his damn company out of the water. But we cannot afford to lose access to the information that he will give us about ashland locke.
Nick: So far, his investigators haven’t turned up anything that yours didn’T. Everyone wants to know how ashland came into this sudden windfall that put him in the game in the first place, but nobody knows the answer to that mystery yet.
Victor: So, he hasn’t told you anything new? Hmm. Alright. Then I will wait to destroy his company until I find out what i want to know about ashland locke.
Ashland: You know, I really want to see this new surgical wing that dr. Hastings wants to finance come to fruition.
Victoria: You know, it’s really very generous of you. I’m sure your donation is gonna be much appreciated. Memorial hospital has helped so many people in my family.
Ashland: I can imagine. I’ve been very impressed with the treatment I’ve received so far, and I just really would like to give back.
Victoria: I just wish everyone could see this side of you.
Ashland: Well, I don’t care what others think. I only care about what you see in me.
Victoria: I know, but if billy knew about this, he might — he might think of you differently. You know, he still hasn’t called off those reporters. Just today, he was questioning me about how you bought those new stations to start your career.
Ashland: Well, I already told you about that.
Victoria: Yes, but is there anything from that time that you haven’t told me, something that maybe billy might dig up and try to use against you?
Tessa: I don’t want to pressure you, but you were just so quiet in the car.
Mariah: This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I feel conflicted about everything. And I cannot fight this fear that I feel in the pit of my stomach.
Tessa: But you and dominic are safe now. Try to hold on to that.
Mariah: I know. I just… tessa, I can’t seem to let go. This was supposed to be easy. I was supposed to be an incubator, a carrier, and it was gonna be simple to just walk away.
Tessa: But after everything that’s happened, of course it’s not.
Mariah: Yeah. You know, maybe if I hadn’t been locked in that room with bowie — sorry, dominic — growing inside me… fighting to survive, I — I wouldn’t have this connection. But I was. And I do.
Tessa: That’s only natural.
Mariah: Tessa, I was literally his only lifeline. And he was mine. We needed each other to survive. And I think dominic feels that, too.
Abby: My little dominic.
[ Chuckles ] You feel so perfect in my arms. I promise I am always gonna protect you and keep you safe. No one is ever gonna take you from me again.
Adam: I can only assume that chloe had something to do with your sudden change of heart. She’s definitely no fan of mine.
Sally: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. She has warned me repeatedly about you, and I’ve always taken it with a grain of salt… till today.
Adam: Oh. Well, what did she say that changed your mind?
Sally: She made me aware of the potentially precarious position you’re in with your ex because of your son, and I just would not want to do anything to hurt your little boy.
Adam: Mm-hmm. Connor always comes first with me. There’s no question about that. And that was a big part of why i put the brakes on anything that was happening between us. When I said it would be a big mistake, I was thinking about my son and, you know, how that could affect him.
Sally: I had a feeling that you might say that. So, I think the safest and most uncomplicated path would be my reset-button idea.
Adam: Well, I can’t disagree with you about that. So I guess that means that, uh, the dinner invitation is off the table.
Sally: Well, I mean, not necessarily. We could always make it a working dinner. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Adam: Um… right. Mm-hmm.
[ Cellphone ringing ] Mm-hmm. Oh, I’m sorry. I got to take this. It’s chelsea.
[ Clears throat ]
Sally: Yeah, of —
Adam: Hello?
Sally: Of course.
[ Sighs ]
Victor: Are you with me on this?
Nick: Playing the double agent, finding out everything billy knows, and reporting back to you?
Victor: Mm-hmm.
Nick: I’m in.
Victor: You know how important it is to find out everything about ashland locke. There’s something about him i don’t trust. And I want to get all that information that’s pertinent before he marries your sister, before the wedding, if there is a wedding.
Victoria: You can be completely honest with me.
Ashland: I don’t doubt that.
Victoria: I grew up the daughter of victor newman. There’s nothing that you can say that’s gonna shock me. I hope you know you can trust me with anything.
Ashland: And I do. I trust you with my life.
Victoria: I’m about to become your wife and your business partner. We can’t have any secrets between us.
Ashland: There’s nothing to worry about. I have been ruthless, but I have never broken the law. And I defy billy or anyone else to prove otherwise.
