Young & The Restless Transcript

Mariah: Mom? Mom? Hello?
Sharon: Oh, hi honey. I didn’t hear you come in.
Mariah: Are– are you all right? You were a million miles away.
[ knocking on door ]
Diane: Busy?
Jack: You have the Joplin figures already?
Diane: Oh, I– I haven’t even started. I–
Jack: Kyle.
Diane: It’s all I can think about. How badly things have fallen apart with our son.
Jack: Well, that makes two of us.
Diane: Jack, I know that this is tearing you apart. Jabot is Kyle’s legacy, and it’s been our dream for him to run the company someday, and now I’m… I’m just really sorry.
Jack: Yeah. Maybe time will heal. Kyle’s left the company before and come back. No reason that can’t happen again.
Diane: It’s not just Jabot that will be affected. I’m… I’m worried that our family will never be the same.
Jack: So what, you’re having second thoughts?
Diane: Well, that’s what I keep asking myself. You know, what could I have done differently? What other… What other option did I have?
Jack: And what conclusions have you come up with?
Diane: Only that, business-wise, I made the only call I could when I fired Kyle.
Audra: Hey.
Kyle: Few minutes late.
Audra: Yeah, I have priorities.
Kyle: I’m not one of them?
Audra: I was on the phone with Victor. I wanted to make sure this meeting you wanted was legit.
Kyle: Suspicious.
Audra: Can you blame me?
Kyle: Eh, it goes both ways.
Audra: Yeah, but then here you are, all that suspicion, but suddenly eager and ready to run Glissade with me.
Kyle: I gave your offer some thought and I realized it’s an opportunity I can’t afford to pass up.
Audra: Even if it means working with me?
Kyle: Given Glissade’s potential, I’m willing to overlook our past.
Audra: You were absolutely against working with me. “No way in hell,” was your exact quote. So tell me, has hell frozen over?
Sharon: I’m right here and I’m fine. I’m– I’m happy to see you.
Mariah: Okay. Are you sure? Because you didn’t hear me when I knocked, or when I opened the door, or I called out a couple times.
Sharon: My mind’s been wandering a little bit lately. Just for a few moments, and then that’s it. I’m– I’m all good.
Mariah: Um, well, maybe more than a few, because your tea is cold.
Sharon: No, I just made it. I– I thought.
Mariah: Are you coming down with something? Are you feeling okay?
Sharon: What? No, of course not. I’m fine. You know what? It’s so wonderful having Faith back home. I did her laundry earlier.
Mariah: You did? You’re kidding.
Sharon: It was fun.
Mariah: Oh, I think you need to revise your idea of fun.
Sharon: You know, I think Faith would agree with you on that.
Mariah: How is she doing, by the way? Her breakup with Moses?
Sharon: She is struggling, but she has her friends and her family and she’s determined to move ahead.
Mariah: She is resilient, that one.
Sharon: I think it’s a family trait.
Mariah: Well, I was hoping to, uh, catch her here this morning.
Sharon: Oh, she ran off with some friends and as far as I know, she’s going to be busy all day.
Mariah: Well, maybe you and Nick freaked her out with that blow-by-blow true confessions about your guys’ epic love story.
Sharon: Do you think that Nick and I went too far, telling her everything?
Mariah: Look, she’s very, very strong. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it brought up some not-so-great memories.
Sharon: Well, I think maybe sharing our story reminded her and showed her how much love this family is capable of, no matter what obstacles we face.
Mariah: The good, the bad and the ugly?
Sharon: Yes. And there was a lot of good. And I think that that’s what Faith is holding on to. And so am I.
Faith: Thank you so much for texting me to meet. We’re kind of sort of related, so I figured we’d get to know each other.
Lucy: Yeah, I’d really like that, and I love these.
Faith: It’s one of the things I miss most about Genoa City. Nobody makes a better latte.
Lucy: You know, I don’t really know how much I would miss home if I went off to college. I mean, not that I don’t love my parents and living here, but, you know, when my mom and I were living in Savannah, there was a college really nearby, and it just seemed like everyone was having so much fun all the time. You know, living in the dorms and all the freedom and the parties. You know, it just seemed like– seemed like a blast.
Faith: There’s this one thing called studying you kind of have to squeeze in every once in a while.
Lucy: Yeah, right. Are you, uh, in a sorority? I don’t know. Those always seemed like so much fun. All the parties with the frats and being a little sister.
Faith: I hate to disappoint you, but no Alpha Delta Pi for me. I mainly just hang out with my friends. My boyfriend.
Lucy: You have a boyfriend?
Faith: I should have said ex. We just broke up.
Lucy: Oh, no. I’m sorry. What happened?
Faith: He was a jerk.
Lucy: Right. Well, it still must have really sucked. So, I’m sorry.
Faith: More time to hang out with my girlfriends. My family. And the party thing? I don’t drink, so I’m not really into it.
Lucy: Like, never?
Faith: Not a drop.
Lucy: Not that that’s weird or– or anything.
Faith: Thank you?
Lucy: I just, like– I thought that everyone in college drank. Isn’t that kind of part of the whole experience?
Faith: Not for me. At least not anymore. The last time I drank, I almost died.
Kyle: Victor was right. I have been unhappy working at Jabot under my mother and father.
Audra: Demoted again. Last I remember, you were only COO working under your father. And now, you are third in command. Ugh, must be such a grind after having been king of the world.
Kyle: Something like that. I accepted it, focused on what was best for the company, tried to help out where I could.
Audra: But?
Kyle: My mother is supremely inexperienced. Insecure. She’s in way over her head. She takes concern as criticism, help as interference, and instead of showing gratitude or trying to learn something, she’s constantly pulling rank. Turning everything into a power struggle.
Audra: And your dad is okay with this?
Kyle: He supports her completely. No matter what.
Audra: Well, that is no way to run a business.
Kyle: Now, you understand why I’m more than ready to make a change.
Audra: Even if it means working with someone you profoundly distrust?
Kyle: I’m impressed by your memory of every disparaging word I’ve ever said about you. But I like to believe that trust can be rebuilt.
Audra: Yeah, that makes one of us. But I’m willing to try, if you are.
Kyle: Here’s the good news. We know everything there is to know about each other.
Audra: And then some.
Kyle: We move fast. We break things. We take no prisoners. We do whatever it takes to get what we want, and we don’t stop until we do. Have we screwed each other over? Absolutely. A healthy dose of mutual distrust will keep us on our toes. So, why not roll the dice and see what happens?
Sally: Okay. You’re right. Yeah. Everything you said. It’s the perfect solution.
Chloe: I know. God, I love doing this.
Sally: I’m really sorry that Summer hasn’t leapt at the chance to rehire you.
Chloe: You know, I– Look, I– I know it was a bit of a reach, bringing me on as your second. You know, I was a bit of a pain when I walked out on Marchetti.
Sally: A bit.
Chloe: Hey, look, I– I have ideas and I am passionate about what I do. I mean, I– I love what I do and I’m really damn good at it.
Sally: Mm-hmm. Yeah, you’re one of the best. Which is why I am hoping that Summer makes a decision soon.
Chloe: I’m not holding out hope. [ phone pinging ]
Sally: Would you look at that.
Chloe: Well, is it good news or bad news?
Sally: Well, it’s Summer, and she wants to meet with me. And you.
Chloe: Oh.
Sally: Looks like she’s coming around.
Chloe: No, she just wants to crack her whip. Make me jump through hoops that are too high or too small or too something. She wants to watch me squirm.
Sally: Okay, well, there is only one way to find out.
Audra: You’ll understand if I’m a bit skeptical. Last time you told me how unhappy you were at Jabot, you were setting me up.
Kyle: And then you double-crossed me.
Audra: Because I was all in with Tucker at the time.
Kyle: And then you screwed him out of Glissade.
Audra: You judging me?
Kyle: No, I was thinking more along the lines of… respect.
Audra: Okay, don’t lay it on too thick.
Kyle: Hey, you outplayed a man who considers himself a master. I have to ask how you did it.
Audra: Tucker broke his own rule. He let emotion get in the way.
Kyle: Because he loved you.
Audra: No, it made him weak.
Kyle: Oh.
Audra: Once I realized there was no future for us, the rest was academic. Assess Glissade’s value, rally the board, find an investor. Yeah. When Tucker realized what I’d done, the man was so desperate to stop me, so out of moves, that the best he could come up with was to fake a heart attack to put off the board vote.
Kyle: Wow, that’s bold, even for him.
Audra: It was pathetic. I can’t believe I ever thought he was such a mastermind.
Kyle: Maybe you’re the one who won’t let her emotions get in the way again.
Audra: That’s never gonna happen again. Trust me.
Kyle: Right there. That’s common ground.
Audra: You’re– you’re saying all the right things.
Kyle: Well, I’m here because I want a job. You’re here because you moved on from whatever doubts you have about me.
Audra: Wrong. I’m here because Victor’s given me no choice.
Kyle: I bet your head exploded when he insisted we work together as co-CEOs.
Audra: Just stay in your lane and we’ll be fine.
Kyle: You really believe that? Look, Victor Newman trying to force us to work together is him just playing God. But what I don’t understand is how he fits in all this. I mean, what does he want? Why would he buy a Paris-based cosmetics company? Is he trying to create a viable rival to Jabot? Is this somehow tied into his decades-old battle with my father?
Audra: Interesting.
Kyle: What?
Audra: You’ve agreed to partner with me even though you suspect that Victor could be using Glissade to target your father.
Kyle: So.
Audra: Maybe this is what you’ve wanted all along. Retaliation against the family who doesn’t appreciate you.
Diane: Look, tearing this company and this family apart is the last thing I wanted, but Kyle’s insubordination, his refusal to show me any respect. What other choice did I have?
Jack: There are always choices.
Diane: Well, do you think I’m wrong? Jack, when you brought me into Jabot, I was so grateful. I– I was excited, I was inspired to put my skill set and my experience to good use, and then when you made me co-CEO, I was determined to prove that I was worthy of your belief in me. To work side by side with my husband and my son to build Jabot into the best it could be? It was like a dream come true.
Jack: Yeah, that’s what we all wanted.
Diane: Yeah, but instead, it’s– it’s turned into this nightmare. I mean, Kyle is– He’s just so resentful. And he’s so angry and– and so condescending. And the lack of trust it’s created, the tension? I mean, the whole thing is just unraveled into this horrible mess.
Jack: I just can’t believe it’s gotten to the point where we have to take such drastic measures.
Diane: Well, firing Kyle was a last resort. And believe me, it was not an easy decision. But Kyle had so many chances to be a team player. But he didn’t even try. Instead, he went out of his way to undermine me. And that kind of behavior cannot be tolerated.
Jack: I agree. At the same time, he seems a bit old to be punished by his mother and father.
Diane: I didn’t make that decision to fire him as his mother. I made it as co-CEO of this company. And it’s not like I didn’t try to find other solutions. I even offered to step down and switch positions with him, but remember, you disagreed with that. But, look, all that aside, our son was given more chances than I would have given any other employee.
Jack: I know you did everything we could.
Diane: I did. But honey, when I see how much this is hurting you, I wish there could have been another solution.
Jack: Yeah, so do I. But this just tells me I made the right choice when I decided not to reinstate him as co-CEO, and it appears our son has some maturing to do.
Kyle: The situation with my family has changed considerably since I was spying for them. Were there issues back then? Absolutely. But I felt like I could prove myself to earn back my co-CEO position and I had my mom’s support every step of the way. And then she got a taste of the C-suite power and she’s only been out for herself ever since. And my father blindly enables her.
Audra: I’m sorry to hear that.
Kyle: Yeah, no, you’re not. Now, back to the question you avoided. What is Victor up to?
Audra: No idea.
Kyle: Would you tell me? Even if you know?
Audra: Probably not. All I do know is Victor wants his name kept out of it completely. Even Tucker doesn’t know it was Victor who helped me steal his company.
Kyle: I’m impressed you didn’t decide to share.
Audra: In case I haven’t made myself clear, Tucker and I are through. I will be sharing nothing with him. And that doesn’t mean he didn’t try to get it out of me. He actually thought your father was my backer.
Kyle: Not a bad guess, given how much they hate each other.
Audra: That could be what’s behind Victor’s move as well. Good old-fashioned hate. But does Victor’s motive really matter if he lets us run Glissade the way we want?
Kyle: I doubt it’ll be that cut and dry. Nothing with Victor Newman ever is.
Audra: Yeah, I don’t see this as such a straightforward move for you either.
Kyle: What’s that supposed to mean?
Audra: This isn’t the first time Newman Enterprises has gone big in the cosmetics world. Given that, plus my business expertise and your contribution, aren’t you worried about the competition for your family’s sacred Jabot?
Kyle: Are you kidding me? I couldn’t be more excited.
Mariah: So, Aria’s latest and greatest word is “oggie.” Yep. And every time she sees an “oggie”, she laughs and smiles and she like jumps up and down and does this dance thing that she does. I mean, it’s– it’s adorable. But Tessa had to sit her down and unfortunately explain to her that we’re probably not getting an “oggie” anytime soon, because she really, really wants one. And then the cow ran away with the spoon.
Sharon: You know, that’s so cute.
Mariah: Really? Because I have a sneaking suspicion you didn’t hear a word I said.
Sharon: What? You were talking about Aria.
Mariah: Uh-huh. And?
Sharon: How cute she is.
Mariah: Yes, but that’s very generic. Since when do you zone out on an Aria story? Especially when her word count has jumped to four.
Sharon: Oh, I’m sorry. You know, this Cassidy First Grant program is just swirling around in my head and I probably didn’t get enough sleep last night, but you know how much I adore Aria. So, please continue. I will hang on your every word.
Mariah: Okay, well, it’s actually more show and tell. After Tessa ix-nayed a puppy, Aria created this masterpiece.
Sharon: What is it?
Mariah: Her very own oggie.
Sharon: Oh, right. Yeah. I can tell. There’s the tail.
Mariah: I think that might actually be the nose, but I’m not sure. Do you like it?
Sharon: I was just thinking about how much Cassie liked to paint and draw. I used to hang her artwork all over this house. Our refrigerator was just loaded with her masterpieces.
Mariah: Well, maybe this can be an honoree on the fridge.
Sharon: Mm-hmm.
Mariah: Okay, that’s it.
Sharon: What’s it?
Mariah: You are working so hard. You’re juggling Cassidy First and Crimson Lights. It is obviously too much. You’re exhausted. Okay, so Dr. Mariah has a prescription that always does the trick.
Sharon: What?
Mariah: We are going to have a little sunshine and a little grandma time.
Sharon: Oh, that just sounds great. And there is nothing I would love more, but you just said it yourself. I’m swamped with work. I can’t.
Mariah: Uh-huh. So, you have time to do loads of laundry, but not see your granddaughter?
Sharon: Well, it has been a while since we had a play date.
Mariah: Great! And it just so happens I’m on my way to the park to see Tessa and Aria. We’re doing a little picnic, so you’re coming, all right?
Sharon: You know what? You’re right. Some Aria time, that’s exactly what I need.
Lucy: Wow, you almost died. That’s– that’s terrible. What happened?
Faith: I was going through a rough time. I made some bad choices, bad friends. I started drinking. One night, I got drunk. I had the brilliant idea of stealing a truck from my grandparents’ ranch. I crashed.
Lucy: Wow. Were– were you hurt?
Faith: It was pretty bad. I had to have surgery. Then, I got an infection. I probably would have died if my Uncle Adam hadn’t given me one of his kidneys.
Lucy: Wow. That all– that all sounds pretty horrible. But you’re totally fine now?
Faith: Good as new.
Lucy: That’s why no drinking.
Faith: Pretty good reasons, I’d say.
Lucy: Yeah, I guess that all makes a lot of sense, but, I don’t know, don’t you ever feel like you’re missing out on all the fun?
Faith: I guess it depends on what your definition of fun is. [ phone pings ] This has been great, but I have got to go. I’m meeting up with some friends.
Lucy: Oh, I didn’t even get to hear about the crazy kidnapping story.
Faith: We can save it for another time.
Lucy: Yeah, that sounds great. Well, I’m pretty much around, so.
Faith: I’ll let you know.
Lucy: Okay, well, have fun.
Faith: Enjoy the rest of your day.
Kyle: My mother’s paranoia, and my father’s support of it, has completely soured me on Jabot. A company that is run like a mom-and-pop echo chamber doesn’t deserve to be at the top, and they won’t be for long.
Audra: Hm, spoken like you mean it.
Kyle: I do.
Audra: Look, I don’t have a problem taking down Jabot, not that I have anything against Jack, but Diane has never liked me.
Kyle: She didn’t like it when she saw the two of us together the other day.
Audra: Yeah, she went all uh, snarky mama bear on me. So overprotective of her little boy. You sure she’s really turned on you?
Kyle: My mom also let me believe that she was dead for years, so there’s kind of a lack in consistency there.
Audra: Hm, good point.
Kyle: Regardless of the way my mom feels today, I’m going to take everything I’ve learned and turn Glissade into a powerhouse rival like Jabot has never seen before.
Audra: This might work out after all. [ indistinct chattering ]
Sally: What’s wrong?
Summer: Nothing. Just, um, my ex acting like an idiot again.
Audra: Have you brought Summer up to speed on your employment situation?
Kyle: We are officially divorced, so our conversations are limited to Harrison.
Audra: Good to know. You ready for next steps?
Kyle: Um, before we do that, I want to discuss the very real possibility that Tucker could be out for revenge. He could come back fighting for Glissade. Are you ready for that?
Audra: No, the man was broken. He literally gave up and walked away. My guess is he crawled back into whatever ashram he came out of. If he does rally, I’m ready.
Kyle: I will be too.
Audra: More common ground.
Kyle: Ah. So about those next steps?
Audra: I’ll have Legal write up a contract for you to review. How quickly can you disentangle yourself from Jabot?
Kyle: I can fast track it. Just tell me when you want to get started.
Audra: The sooner the better.
Kyle: I can handle that.
Sally: I have incorporated the bell sleeve. Summer.
Summer: Sorry, what?
Sally: Uh, the restyling of the sleeve. I think it brings a lot to the design.
Summer: Uh, you know what? Actually, I just– I don’t think that that’s quite right for this collection.
Chloe: How can you say that? I think that that’s exact–
Summer: You think… You think what?
Chloe: I think… when I think Marchetti, I think wearable, elegant, modern. And the bell sleeve can be incorporated into that style, but there are certainly other options.
Summer: Good save. And wearing Marchetti to the meeting, that’s a nice touch. But Chloe, you really don’t have to suck up to me. I’ve considered Sally’s request to rehire you while Chelsea’s away and… I’ve made my decision.
Tessa: Hi!
Mariah: Hi– Oh.
Tessa: I’m trying to get her to take a nap.
Sharon: Okay.
Mariah: Okay.
Tessa: Maybe Grandma can take her?
Sharon: Yeah, why don’t I stroll her over? We’ll look at the ducks. Yeah, the duck pond.
Mariah: Thank you, Grandma!
Tessa: I didn’t know Sharon was going to be here. I mean, not that I object, but I would have brought an extra sandwich.
Mariah: Well, it was sort of a last minute decision.
Tessa: Is everything okay?
Mariah: I don’t know. I– I went to stop by and she just seemed out of it, you know? I knocked on the door, she didn’t answer, I had to use my key, and it’s like she didn’t hear anything I said to her.
Tessa: I mean, Sharon has been working a lot lately. Cassidy First and Crimson Lights, she’s probably just exhausted.
Mariah: Yeah, that’s what I said. So, I thought a dose of sunshine and Aria would just be the thing.
Tessa: Well, it seems to be working.
Diane: After everything you went through in Paris with Ashley and Traci, I’m just– I’m just really sorry you had to come home to this.
Jack: Yeah, so am I. I understand why you felt you needed to terminate Kyle. I just wish we talked about it. We could have presented a united front. Have a discussion, a constructive discussion on how to move forward. And maybe we could have avoided this whole mess.
Diane: Well, maybe I– maybe I should have waited and spoken to you first and I– I apologize for that, but Kyle seemed to feel that your absence gave him license to be even more difficult. And a line had to be drawn.
Jack: Yeah, I understand. I do.
Diane: Well, maybe we can have that united front now. I mean, we need to look for a new COO as soon as possible and I’m sure if we put our heads together, we can come up with the perfect person.
Jack: I’ll give that some thought.
Diane: Yeah. And– and also, I know you really don’t want to consider this, but we should probably look for someone to fill in for Ashley while she’s gone.
Jack: No way. Ashley’s absence is temporary.
Diane: Yes, I know. But without her skill set and her leadership, the lab is in a holding pattern. We can’t expect it to run itself. I mean, we have– we have new products in development. Some are ready to launch. R&D is stalled. And that affects our bottom line.
Jack: How do we assure the quality of our new product without Ashley’s expertise? This was her– her idea, her patents. She’s not easily replaced here.
Diane: I agree. It will– it will be a challenge.
Jack: Look, I’m convinced once she is through treatment, she’s going to come back stronger than ever.
Diane: Well, I’m just suggesting an interim solution. Or do you suggest we just freeze the lab until she’s back?
Jack: I understand on a corporate level, decisions have to be made, but on a personal level, I hate that the Abbott family company has so few Abbots. First, Ashley, then Billy. And now, Kyle. It’s just depressing.
Diane: I know, but Allie is still working for Jabot in the Paris office and I think she is just as brilliant as Ashley. And there is no doubt in my mind that with some experience, she could be running the entire lab herself. Jack, the future for Jabot is wide open. And so is the door, whenever our family members are ready to come back. me back.
Summer: Chloe.
Chloe: I really– I know that I was a real pain when we were working with each other before.
Summer: Chloe!
Chloe: But I’ve been working on myself and trying to listen more. Well, I’m doing it again.
Summer: Chloe!
Chloe: What?
Summer: Look, I am willing to give you a second chance.
Chloe: You are? Wait, you mean it? Okay, well, this is great!
Sally: Thank you so much, Summer. This really will make all the difference.
Summer: All right, so where are we at with the winter line?
Sally: Uh, we are on track. I have all the edits with the changes you requested. The tailored outerwear, the soft feminine one-and-done knit dresses.
Chloe: Yeah, and the off-the-shoulder silhouettes. I think that maybe if we add a statement belt, I think that would be amazing.
Summer: Um, I have to get back to Marchetti, actually, for a meeting, so let’s follow up on this this afternoon.
Sally: Okay, sounds– Sounds good.
Summer: Audra!
Audra: Can I help you?
Summer: You and Kyle looked quite friendly for two people that supposedly hate each other. What’s going on?
Kyle: Co-CEOs hugging it out. Looks like it’s business as usual here.
Jack: I hope you’ve had time to cool down, maybe reconsider.
Kyle: Mm, sorry to disappoint, Dad. I’m just here to clean out my office.
Diane: Oh, well, there’s no sense drawing this out. It could be civil, painless.
Kyle: Unlike the last few months working here.
Jack: Kyle, we can solve this.
Kyle: Mom already has.
Jack: I’m sure your mother would be willing to reconsider if you were open to compromise, if you were willing to change your attitude.
Kyle: My attitude is just fine and I am comfortable with the decision. I mean, who knows, Mom? Maybe I should thank you.
Diane: What’s that supposed to mean?
Kyle: You freed me up to explore other opportunities and there is one in particular that may just appreciate what I bring to the table.
Diane: Really? That almost sounds like you’ve already found another job.
Tessa: Well, I’m so glad that you could join us. Aria definitely seemed thrilled.
Sharon: You know, I just love how she does that thing with her head. It’s so precious.
Mariah: What thing with her head?
Sharon: Oh, you know, when– Just when she smiles at me, she does this little head tilt and Cassie used to do that.
Mariah: Really?
Sharon: Yeah, well, especially when she wanted another cookie or another story or she wanted to stay up a little bit later. She would look up at me and smile and there was that little head bob, and it was impossible to say no.
Mariah: Well, you know, you never really talked about what my sister was like when she was little. I would love to know anything you could tell me about Cassie. Mom? H– hi, are you all right? What’s going on?
Sharon: You’ve already asked me that. The answer hasn’t changed. I’m thinking about my grant project for Cassidy First. That’s all. I’m distracted.
Mariah: I am your employee, so if you need any sort of help, just put me to work, please.
Sharon: No, don’t worry about it, sweetie. I’ve got this. In fact, I better get back to it. Oh, but, thank you. You were right. This is exactly what I needed.
Mariah: There really is no reason to rush off.
Sharon: No, I have to get back to work, but we’ll talk soon, okay?
Mariah: Okay.
Tessa: Okay.
Mariah: Bye.
Tessa: Bye. Okay, that was interesting.
Mariah: Right? Something is definitely off with my mom. [ Sharon sighing ]
Sharon: What is going on with me? Hello, Doctor, this is Sharon Newman. Yeah, these new meds that you gave me, I think there’s something wrong with them. They’re making me feel so… odd.
Diane: Have you been looking? Was this your plan all along?
Kyle: I’ll be in my office, packing up. [ Diane sighing ]
Diane: I wasn’t expecting that.
Jack: So, go to him. Talk to him. There might still be a way to get around this. We have to try.
Diane: No, no. Kyle might be right. This might be the best thing for him. Maybe he felt too stifled here.
Jack: I still think there’s a way to work this out.
Diane: Well, as far as our son is concerned, the only way to do that is for me to step down and for him to take my position. And if you want me to do that, I will.
Jack: That is not an option.
Diane: Is anything Kyle said true? About me? I mean, I don’t– I don’t want to be seen as some mercy hire whose only qualification was being married to you.
Jack: No, no, no. You have proved yourself time and again. I could not be more impressed with you.
Diane: Thank you. That means more than you know. Because I feel like I really belong here. That I’m just getting started. And there’s so much ahead for us at Jabot. And as painful as it is, maybe– maybe that’s what Kyle needs. He needs to find a place where he feels he belongs.
Jack: I just wish he felt he belonged here. This is his family’s company.
Audra: You are quite inquisitive for an ex.
Summer: Kyle and I share a child and I don’t trust you, so yes, I’m curious.
Audra: You know, I think most people will call it nosy.
Summer: You didn’t answer the question, Audra. What’s going on between you and Kyle?
Audra: Summer, I still can’t figure out what difference that would make to you. Have a nice day.
Announcer: Next week on The Young and the Restless…
Lily: Well, I guess congratulations are in order.
Billy: We won.
Jack: It is tearing me apart.
Nikki: Talk to me, Jack. Let me be there for you the way you have been here for me.
