Victor: Hello, ms. Spectra. Thank you for coming.
Sally: You are most welcome. Though I couldn’t possibly decline, since your call wasn’t as much an invitation as it was a summons to appear before you, but either way, I’m happy to do it.
Victor: Good. Have a seat. So I don’t want to waste our time. I’m aware of the videos that you have sent of billy abbott to my son.
Sally: I don’t know what you mean.
Victor: I think you know exactly what I mean. Let’s please not waste any time on this charade of denying it, okay?
Sally: Fine. Yes, I sent the videos. But I don’t see a problem.
Victor: My son thinks the same. Let’s cut to the chase. What is your intention? What do you want?
Lily: [ Chuckles ]
Billy: Is that him? Or her?
Lily: Uh, nope. So maybe adam and his spy aren’t coming tonight.
Billy: Oh, I think of them are gonna show up. If it’s not adam, it’ll be sally in one of her ridiculous disguises. Either way, I’m enjoying the company. And my apple juice.
Lily: Oh, okay. How long do we wait here before calling it a night?
Billy: Long enough to enjoy ourselves and have a little bit of bite to eat, ’cause, you know, time flies when we’re together.
Lily: So this is the issue with your plan is you basically someone to come in at the right time, right place to see what you’re doing. Otherwise, you’re out of luck.
Billy: This is only the beginning of my plan for newman media. Right now, we need to be patient and hope that lady luck smiles upon us.
Lily: And if she doesn’t?
Sharon: It’s a slow night.
Noah: Yep.
Sharon: People usually come here for hot chocolate or coffee after skating and shopping. I mean, where are they all? This place is usually packed before christmas.
Noah: Absolutely.
Sharon: Of course, I did sell those eight carrot cake muffins to the portly gentleman wearing a red and white fur coat. He was buying them for his reindeer.
Noah: Oh, well, that’s good.
Sharon: I’m so glad you’re home, noah. You know, I was getting tired of you ignoring me in london. Now you can just ignore me right here in genoa city.
Noah: Mm-hmm.
Nick: Hey.
Sharon: Hey, I’m so glad you’re here. Because maybe you’ll talk to me. Our son can’t be bothered.
Noah: I’m sorry, mom, did you say something? Oh, hey, dad. When did you get here?
Chelsea: And this one at the zoo.
Connor: Flamingos.
Chelsea: Yeah, you were trying to stand like them, putting your leg up like that.
Connor: I almost fell.
Chelsea: You did. Oh, and this one, I think you were like four or five. The snow bank was taller than you are.
Connor: [ Laughs ]
Chelsea: Oh, when you lost your first tooth.
Connor: Aww. The tooth fairy was very generous back then.
Chelsea: Mm.
[ Doorbell rings ] Um, you know what? I’m gonna go get that. Why don’t you brush your teeth and finish getting ready for bed?
Connor: Can I drink the rest of my hot chocolate first?
Chelsea: Yeah, sure. Adam.
Connor: Hey, dad.
Adam: Hey! You two having fun?
Connor: Totally. We’ve been playing games, drinking hot chocolate, and looking at pictures.
Chelsea: I thought we weren’t gonna see you again until tomorrow.
Adam: Well, someone left their bag of comic books in my car, and I know he needs them to fall asleep.
Connor: Thanks.
Adam: Mm-hmm.
Connor: Are you going to stay for a while?
Adam: Um…no, I have some things that I need to do.
Chelsea: And you have to get to bed, mister.
Connor: Okay, but you’ll be here for christmas, right? We always spend christmas eve
and christmas day together. With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Sharon: Are you sure you can’t be pulled away from your computer for a moment to talk to your family?
Nick: Yeah, noah, you can continue to ignore us. I mean, we are just your parents. I’m sure you have other — actually, you don’T. We’re it. We’re your parents, man.
Noah: Come on, stop, stop.
Sharon: Well, we’re here. We’re ready to bond with you.
Noah: Oh, yeah? You guys have important information you want to share? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure you were talking about carrot cake muffins before dad walked in.
Sharon: Oh, so you were listening a little.
Nick: I have some information that we could talk about. I mean, I don’t know if it’s as interesting as what you’re working on.
Noah: What is it?
Nick: I had a talk with my dad, you know, about what’s going on with us and why we’re not getting along.
Sharon: Oh, well, that doesn’t sound like that much fun.
Nick: No, not fun at all, but it was a good talk. He told me that I’m the greatest father he’s ever known, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Do you also feel like that, son?
Noah: [ Exhales sharply ] Do I have a choice?
Nick: No.
Noah: Then, yes, yes, you are the greatest father, and, mom, mom’s the best mom, and we’re just the best family. Is that what you wanted to hear, something like that?
Nick: There you go. Was that so hard?
Sharon: Okay, I know you guys are just joking, but it’s actually really nice to be all together, especially this time of year. It really warms my heart.
Noah: That’s sweet. Actually, I — I have some news that I need to share, too. I took mom’s advice and I’ve given some more thought to adam’s offer to do some more work at newman media. I’m interested. I really do think adam may have changed, so…I said yes.
Sharon: Well, that’s wonderful.
Noah: Yeah, I’m actually kind of excited about it.
Nick: Uh, well, as the best father in the world, it is incumbent upon me to be supportive of my grown son’s decision about his career, so that’s what I’m doing.
Noah: Outstanding. Yeah, I’ve really enjoyed this time, you guys, but please, please, can I just get back to work on tessa’s album cover?
Nick: Yeah, I suppose we could do that.
Sharon: You know what? I’ll make some peppermint mochas, and then, nick, why don’t you and I talk out on the patio? Because we don’t want to disturb the artist formerly known as noah.
Nick: Deal.
Noah: [ Chuckles ]
Chelsea: You know, connor, we haven’t had a chance to talk about the holidays yet. I just got home.
Adam: Mm-hmm. But you know what? We will figure something out, i promise.
Connor: A real promise or “just something parents say” promise?
Adam: A for-real promise.
Chelsea: Why don’t you go and finish getting ready for bed?
Connor: Okay. I’ll be back down to say good night.
Adam: Alright, you better. He’s so happy that you’re home.
Chelsea: Oh, I am so happy to be home with him. But he’s right, you know. We do need to discuss christmas, so I can make some plans.
Adam: Of course.
Chelsea: Are you going to the ranch to see the newmans?
Adam: Mm-hmm, that’s right.
Chelsea: Okay. Well, that doesn’t really interest me, but I’ll go for connor. I mean, all that matters to him is that the three of us are together.
Adam: Well, the holidays with victor is an acquired taste. Well, here’s an alternative — christmas eve here together. I’ll leave when he goes to bed.
Chelsea: Okay.
Adam: Then I’ll be back in the morning for when he opens presents.
Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] That’d be great. And then the two of you will head to the ranch?
Adam: Mm-hmm, that’s right. I mean, you’re welcome to join us, if you want. It’s your call.
Chelsea: I appreciate how considerate you’re being. You don’t have to be, but you’ve been wonderful about all of this.
Adam: Well, even though you and I aren’t together, we’re still a family. And we always will be.
Sally: I understand why you would question my motives. I don’t think you have a very high opinion of me. But I can assure you that my intentions are solely helping adam and newman media. I don’t exactly know what went down between adam and billy, but I know it’s big, and billy’s probably gonna try and retaliate in some way.
Victor: So you got information about billy boy abbott, send it to adam for this possible counterattack.
Sally: That’s right.
Victor: I didn’t know you were that altruistic.
Sally: Well, I am a team player, especially when that team is newman media. And there’s something in it for me. If the company suffers, my fashion platform suffers, and i don’t want that. So I’m being proactive.
Victor: By gathering secret information and videos about billy boy abbott.
Sally: Exactly. That way we have ammunition in case he comes at us. And I’ve already caught several incriminating moments on camera, and I guarantee there will be more.
Victor: And he doesn’t suspect a damn thing?
Sally: Not as far as I can tell. He’s too interested in where his next drink is coming from to pay any close attention. So, are we good here? Are my answers satisfactory? Sweet pillows of softness!
Connor: Did you make a decision yet? What are we doing for christmas?
Adam: Uh, we are going to spend christmas eve and christmas day right here together.
Connor: Yes. You decided that pretty fast.
Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] What did you expect, some long, drawn-out battle? It was easy because we all want the same thing.
Adam: It’s gonna be a great time.
Chelsea: Yeah.
Adam: Alright, well, I should get going. Alright, and you should go to bed, so I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night.
Chelsea: Bye.
[ Sighs ] So, did you finish your christmas list?
Connor: Not yet.
Chelsea: Not yet? You better get on that. You know it’s no good after the 25th, right?
Connor: So I should stay up to write it?
Chelsea: Nice try. You can do it tomorrow morning. Why don’t you head up?
Connor: Hold on. I can tell you something i really want.
Chelsea: Okay.
Connor: Are you going to stay in town for good?
Chelsea: I am.
Connor: That’s great.
Chelsea: So you don’t have to put that on your wish list.
Connor: Well, that was only the first part. I know you and dad don’t think you can be together anymore, but it seems like you still love each other. So what I really want for christmas is for you to try and work things out. Then maybe we can be a real family again.
Chelsea: Connor, we are a real family. You are the most important person to both me and your dad. I know the past few months have been really tough on you. I mean, they’ve been tough on all of us, but we’re leaving the bad stuff in the past and we’re just focusing on the future. And it’s gonna be really wonderful. But for now, I’m just —
[ Sighs ] I’m just so happy to be back with you.
Connor: I’m glad you’re back, too, mom.
Chelsea: Come here. Oh.
Sharon: Oh, I’m sure you heard that chelsea is back in town.
Nick: I had not heard that. How’s she doing?
Sharon: Um, she seemed healthy and grounded to me. We had a pleasant conversation. It actually felt like progress.
Nick: Is she planning on sticking around?
Sharon: She said she wasn’t sure, but I can’t see her leaving as long as connor is here.
Nick: Well, it’s gonna take some time for her to get her bearings. And I’m sure it’s gonna be an adjustment period for her and adam, but I know they’re both gonna do whatever’s best for connor.
Sharon: Yeah. I’m really happy for connor. What better christmas gift than to have your mom home.
Nick: Yeah. Speaking of christmas gifts, uh, went and saw phyllis, and I took her one.
Sharon: Really? Didn’t you just bring a box of her things back to her?
Nick: Yeah. You know, it was no agenda. I wasn’t looking for reasons to see her. It’s just I had ordered something for her a while ago, and I wanted her to have it. And it turns out, she had done the same for me, so we just exchanged gifts.
Sharon: And how’d that go?
Nick: It was okay. Kind of felt like closure.
Sharon: Well, still, there must’ve been some feelings, wistfulness or maybe regret.
Nick: Yeah, impossible not to feel like that. Especially since, as I was walking out, I saw her talking to jack yet again. Kind of seems like there’s something going on there. But maybe not. I don’t know.
Sharon: Would it bother you if they got back together?
Nick: I mean, it shouldn’T. We broke up. She can do whatever she wants, just like I can.
Sharon: Well, I didn’t ask how you should feel. Just be honest.
Nick: Yeah, it’d bug me.
Sharon: Why?
Nick: Maybe it’s our history. Maybe it’s because we’ve always been very competitive with each other, and it would seem like, to me, that she’s ready to jump back into the dating world before I am. But I really do want her to be happy.
Sharon: So you don’t want her to win the break-up.
Nick: Uh…wow, when you put it like that, it sounds terrible. No, I know it’s not a contest, and people move at their own pace.
Sharon: Well, maybe you’re getting all worked up for nothing. Maybe it’s just a comforting friendship.
Nick: Yeah, maybe it’s best if I don’t think about it, and i don’t want to ruin the mood anyway. I mean, we have these very delicious-looking peppermint mochas.
Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. Actually, I do have something else for you, something that might lift your spirits.
Victor: I’m impressed.
Sally: Really?
Victor: You seem to be fighting for the interest of the company. But as I told my son, we need to be careful when it comes to billy abbott.
Sally: Yeah, but I-I —
Victor: No, you don’t understand. He may be reckless, may be a fool at times, but don’t you underestimate him, especially once his back is up against the wall.
Sally: So you want me to stop.
Victor: I appreciate the information you’ve provided, but there’s no longer any need for it, okay? And no longer any need for all your disguises.
Sally: With all due respect, mr. Newman, I can do this. I’m really good at it. And I don’t want to let adam down.
Victor: Oh, now we get to the crux.
Sally: What?
Victor: I knew there was another angle to what you were doing. You’re not only doing it for the good of the company. You want to impress my son adam, don’t you? Think carefully before you answer that.
Lily: You know, adam and sally aren’t gonna come in here if you keep looking at the door like that.
Billy: Do you think tonight has been a bust?
Lily: No, not at all. I’ve actually had a really good time. It’s almost like we’re doing one of those things where you have dinner without there being an elaborate scheme involved. Do you know what I’m talking about?
Billy: Oh, like a date?
Lily: Yes, like a date.
Billy: Oh, my gosh.
Lily: We should try that.
Billy: We should do that. Maybe we should do both — elaborate scheme and date, you know?
Lily: Yeah, very efficient of you.
Billy: Mm-hmm. I’m not ready to go home yet. I’m having fun.
Lily: [ Chuckles ]
Billy: How about we get some dessert? ‘Cause I refuse to believe that luck is not on our side. Not after everything victor and adam put us through.
Lily: [ Chuckles ] Oh. I guess you’re right. The eagle has landed. He’s here.
Billy: You ready for showtime?
Lily: Yeah.
Billy: [ Sighs ]
Lily: Okay, you know what, billy? I really don’t want to do this right now. Alright, it’s been a long day and I am really tired.
Billy: Really?
Lily: Yeah.
Billy: Really, lily? You’re not the only one that’s tired. Trust me, you’re not the only one.
Billy: I’m tired. I’m tired of all of this. I’m tired of your complaining. I’m — I’m over it, lily. I’m out of here.
Lily: Billy, stop. You cannot drive right now.
Billy: I’m gonna drive, okay? I’ll get a ride.
Lily: No, let’s just go home, okay?
Billy: Go home? Why would I go home? So I can listen to you complain about why it’s my fault we lost chanccomm?
Lily: I already told you, i don’t blame you.
Billy: You ended up great in this, so I don’t understand it. I mean, you are now the queen of chancellor, right? You’ve got a purpose, lily. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?
Lily: Okay, billy, let’s just go home. Let’s go home.
Billy: Oh, wow. Look at this. Yeah, I had a purpose once, too, until that jackass stole it from me. And you think you could have a little bit of compassion, just a little bit? Stop telling me to grow up and act like an adult.
Lily: Okay, billy —
Billy: I’m gonna make you pay. Do you hear me?
Adam: You do that.
Lily: Oh, my god, billy!
Sally: I won’t deny that i have an attraction to adam.
Victor: Well, thank you for your candor. At this time, it would be foolish to hide it, alright?
Sally: But I’m not pursuing it. We agreed — we’re friends, we’re colleagues. That’s it.
Victor: That had better be true because adam does not need any more complications in his life.
Sally: And I do not intend on being one.
Victor: Now that chelsea has returned, he needs to focus his energy on making his son feel secure about his parents, although they’re no longer together.
Sally: Yeah, I understand.
Victor: So you’re gonna be working with chelsea?
Sally: Yeah, but it’s nothing to worry about. I won’t be involved in any romantic entanglements in the office. I have other priorities, and I’m sure chelsea does, too. And adam has made it very clear that he has no time for a relationship right now.
Victor: Has he?
Sally: Abundantly. And you must know how important my career is to me. It is just starting to take off again. I am not gonna do anything to jeopardize it.
Victor: Mm-hmm, that’s good to know. Especially when I think of what you’ve done to summer.
Sally: Yeah. Yes, it took some time. For a while there, I was justifying my actions. “Summer has a great job in italy and she loves it,” but, no, i realize that what I did was wrong. It was selfish and vindictive, but I can’t change the past. All I can do is do my best to prove that I am not that person anymore.
Victor: Okay. I will give you that opportunity. You know, your fashion platform has not gone unnoticed.
Sally: Thank you.
Victor: And that dress you designed for victoria’s wedding —
Sally: Yeah, that was a transitional —
Victor: No, no, no, no, not so fast. You made her very happy. It was beautiful. And it aroused interest in newman fashion. So if I were you, I would concentrate on my work. Keep your head on your shoulders. Look straight ahead. Don’t be distracted by other things, and you’ll be fine. Okay?
Sally: Thank you.
Victor: I’m impressed. And I hope you will continue to impress me as time goes on.
Lily: Oh, my god, are you okay?
Billy: Yeah, I’m fine.
Lily: Okay, here, let me help you.
Billy: Stop. Can we not make a big deal out of this, please? I’m fine. I can get up by myself. I don’t need your help. I don’t need your pity. It’d be nice to have a little bit of understanding, but I’m clearly not getting that tonight.
Lily: Okay, let’s go home. We will talk. I will try to understand.
Billy: I already told you, I’m not going home with you.
Lily: Sorry, where are you going, then?
Billy: Someplace where I feel welcome, where I can let off a little steam without feeling judged.
Lily: Billy, please, you can’t just leave like this, okay?
Billy: Yeah, I can.
Lily: No, billy, just wait for —
[ Sighs ]
Adam: Sorry, lily.
Lily: I don’t want to hear it, adam, okay?
Adam: You’re a saint for putting up with that.
Lily: You know what? This is all because of you and victor. You deliberately attacked billy when he was finally in a good place. And for what? To take control of a media company? You make me sick. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches
“The young and the restless”
will continue.
Sharon: Rey and I would love to have you and christian over for christmas dinner.
Nick: You know what? That sounds awesome. I’m gonna take you up on that.
Sharon: Great! I mean, that way, christian can spend some of the holidays with faith and maybe even noah if he ever peels himself away from his computer.
Nick: [ Chuckles ]
Noah: Hey, you guys want to see what I’m working on in here?
Nick: Nah, no, we’re really busy in here. Alright, maybe we’ll come take a quick look.
Sharon: Is that tessa’s album cover?
Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I took the shots, and then I superimposed her face over some shots of the city.
Sharon: Wow. It’s really beautiful.
Nick: I mean, that’s great, man. I’m not just saying that ’cause I’m the best dad ever. I really love it.
Noah: Well, thank you, best dad ever.
Sharon: I’m so proud of you. Oh, rey, hey!
Rey: Hey.
Sharon: I’m glad you’re here. Come and take a look at this.
Rey: Ah, nice work.
Noah: Oh, thank you.
Rey: Very nice.
Lily: Oh, my god.
[ Sighs ]
Billy: Hi. That fall was a little too real.
Lily: I got to say, that was a hell of a performance.
Billy: You were amazing.
Lily: Thank you.
Billy: Like, honestly, scary good. How are you feeling?
Lily: I feel good. That was fun. Although I got to say, I got a glimpse into an alternate universe that I don’t think i want to be a part of again.
Billy: You don’t need to worry about that. That’s not gonna happen. Thank you for your support.
Lily: Of course. I love you.
Billy: I love you, too. I feel like anything is possible with you by my side.
Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, don’t make me regret it.
Billy: I never will.
Lily: Oh, my gosh. You have a cut.
Billy: Oh, yeah?
Lily: Here, I’ll help.
Billy: Geez, maybe I should get a stunt man next time.
Lily: That’s actually a really good idea, ’cause this could get pretty expensive after a while. How’s that? Is that better?
Billy: It’s good.
Lily: Mm.
Billy: That’s really good. Mm-hmm. That’s amazing. I got to stop you.
Lily: What?
Billy: I got to stop you.
Lily: Why?
Billy: Because I have a second performance. After our little show at society, I got to believe that i will have an audience for the rest of the evening.
Lily: [ Sighs ]
Adam: Hey. Hey, you just missed quite the display. Billy went off on lily, and then he fell on his face.
Sally: As in, like, he really embarrassed himself?
Adam: As in he literally fell on the floor and bounced his head off of it.
Sally: Is he okay?
Adam: Eh, he seemed fine physically. I mean, probably did major damage to his relationship with lily.
Sally: Might make him fall even deeper into his downward spiral.
Adam: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don’t know why she’s stayed with him as long as she has. But when I tried to approach her about it, she just accused me and my father of wrecking his life.
Sally: Well, some women are attracted to bad boys. It’s hard to give up on them, even when they try their damndest to try and push you away.
Adam: Well, if someone was following billy around trying to get evidence of the train wreck his life has become, um, tonight would be a good night.
Sally: You don’t say.
Adam: Mm-hmm. He left here alone on a collision course for trouble.
Sally: Well, hold that thought. There’s something you should know. I just came back from a very interesting meeting with your father.
Adam: Really?
Sally: I will have what he’s having. Thank you. Good news first.
Adam: Mm-hmm.
Sally: I won him over.
Adam: How’d you do that?
Sally: Well, I’m quite charming.
Adam: I know. But it probably took more than that.
Sally: I talked about victoria’s wedding dress and how committed I am to the job and making amends for past mistakes. He asked me about my relationship with you.
Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, he shouldn’t — he shouldn’t have done that. It’s none of his business.
Sally: That’s never stopped him before. I told him that we were keeping things strictly professional, like you wanted. So there is no going back on that now.
Adam: So that is the good news. I mean, what’s the bad news?
Sally: He knows that I’m the one that’s been spying on billy. He understands that I have good intentions, but he asked me to stop.
Adam: Hmm. Well, that is interesting because when I told him about our helpful anonymous source, he didn’t mention your name. He just told me to tread carefully and to keep him in the loop. Thought it was a two-way street. Guess not. Maybe he doesn’t trust my judgment.
Sally: I think it’s more that he doesn’t trust me not to screw things up.
Adam: What if I asked you to carry on and not worry about him? What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him or us.
Sally: I would say, tell me more about this collision course that billy abbott is on.
Adam: Okay, um…billy has been following the same pattern when things got rough with victoria a few years ago, which means I have a pretty good idea of where he’s headed next. Did you know some deodorants may not last all day?
Frankie: Yeah, don’t drink too much. Last time…
[ Laughter ]
Billy: Well, well, well. Do you degenerates ever go home?
Frankie: After all this time, billy abbott is back. Deal you in?
Billy: No, not just yet. I’m just gonna watch a few. But let me ask you a question. How’s my credit here?
Frankie: I don’t know, man.
Billy: Frankie, I got a favor to ask you.
Adam: We are going to build a life… that we never thought was possible.
Chelsea: You really think we can?
Adam: I know we can. And that’s a vow… and a promise. What I do know for sure… is that I must have done something right to… deserve a woman as special as you. But I think that we need to go our separate ways now, apart.
Chelsea: But what about connor? I mean, shouldn’t we at least try again, for his sake?
Adam: I know you, chelsea. I can hear it in your voice that you still think it’s possible. But, honestly, I’m surprised to hear that because it wasn’t that long ago that you wanted me out of your life so bad that you thought sending me to prison was the answer.
Chelsea: [ Sighs ]
Connor: Mom?
Chelsea: Connor, hi. Hi, sorry. I — I didn’t hear you come down. Are you okay?
Connor: Not really.
Victor: Well, this is a nice surprise.
Adam: Ah.
Victor: Here, my boy.
Adam: Thank you.
Victor: Yep.
Adam: Cheers.
Victor: Cheers. Ah.
Adam: Well, I just wanted to let you know that I have changed some christmas plans.
Victor: Oh?
Adam: Yeah, connor and I, we will still be here in the latter part of the day, but maybe chelsea, too. I assume she’s invited.
Victor: Yeah, sure.
Adam: So it’ll just be the three of us in the penthouse on christmas eve and christmas morning.
Victor: Oh, so you’re gonna stay over?
Adam: No, I’m gonna sleep in my own bed and be there for him to open gifts.
Victor: Right. Well, I’m very happy you’re gonna spend some more time with connor.
Adam: Glad you see it that way.
Victor: Anyway, I’m glad you showed up because there’s something that I need to discuss with you, okay? Something that came up today.
Billy: I’m gonna get two, please.
Frankie: Okay.
Billy: Ooh.
Frankie: What you got?
Billy: You out?
No.
Billy: Really? Mm. I’m not all that surprised, to be honest. Okay, ready?
Frankie: I’m ready.
Billy: Go, go, go.
Frankie: Ooh. Oh!
[ Laughs ]
Billy: Ahh! No! Frankie! Are you sure?
Frankie: Yeah, I’m sure. That’s four.
Billy: Come on, man. Every time, every time.
Frankie: Don’t tell me you tapped out.
Billy: I’m tapping out. I’m done for tonight. I’m done for tonight. I’m gonna take this with me, but don’t worry, there is plenty more where that came from. Okay?
Frankie: Well, we’ll save you a seat.
Billy: I can’t believe it. Good to see you all again.
Do I need to pretreat my
laundry?
Rey: So did sharon ask you about christmas dinner?
Nick: She did. Christian and I are definitely gonna be there.
Rey: Good. Should be a good time.
Nick: Looking forward to it. Thanks again for the invite.
Rey: Of course. The more, the merrier. Of course, the way noah eats, you might want to get there early before all the food’s gone.
Nick: Probably right.
Noah: So here I just wanted to layer some photos and create a little bit more depth.
Sharon: Almost like a collage.
Noah: Yeah, kind of, I guess.
Sharon: Wow. You know what this reminds me of? Do you remember that drawing you did when you were eight?
Noah: Yeah, mom, I think this is a little bit more sophisticated than that.
Sharon: Right, but you see what I’m saying. I mean, the street and the building, the girl. Nick, do you remember that drawing I’m talking about?
Nick: Of course, it was on the fridge for years.
Sharon: You drew it right after we came home from that trip to chicago.
Noah: Yeah, I remember, we went down there for a hockey game. But, guys, I think you’re missing out on the subtlety of tessa’s album cover.
Nick: I don’t know, dude. I think you’re forgetting your early influences. I mean, the seeds of your artistic vision have been there since you were eight.
[ Laughter ]
Sharon: See?
Noah: Oh, gosh.
[ Laughter ]
Chelsea: What’s wrong?
Connor: I just couldn’t fall asleep.
Chelsea: Oh. Do you have any idea why?
Connor: I thought I would like it, being back in my old room, in my old bed. But it feels…different. It’s like home but not. Does that sound weird?
Chelsea: No. That’s not weird at all. I mean, connor, you were at boarding school, and then you’ve been staying at the ranch, so it’s been a while since you slept in that bed. Plus, you’ve gotten so big. It makes sense that it feels smaller.
Connor: Kind of, yeah.
Chelsea: Yeah, but it is different. For me, too. I mean, as thrilled as I am to be home, it feels strange. But this is our home. You know, it’s all about those changes we were talking about earlier. It’s just — it’s just an adjustment.
Connor: Or maybe we should all stay at the ranch. There’s so much space. Grandma and grandpa have rooms they don’t even use. Maybe dad can move into one and you can stay at the tack house.
Chelsea: I’m staying here, connor. It’s where I belong. But soon enough, hopefully, it’ll start to feel like home again for the both of us.
Adam: So what do you want to talk about?
Victor: Well, there was a tech company from atlanta that called me earlier. They offered their support services in case we needed any. But I thought maybe it might be —
Adam: Uh, more cost effective to just buy the company rather than use the services they provide, uh-huh.
Victor: See, now you’re reading my mind, right? You bet. I’ll send you the info. Okay?
Adam: I’ll take a look.
[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, sorry, just give me one second.
Victor: Everything alright?
Adam: Yes.
Victor: Good.
Adam: Nothing to worry about.
Victor: Alright.
Adam: So this company in atlanta, what kind of service do they provide?
Billy: [ Sighs ] That went great.
Lily: Sally showed up?
Billy: Yes, she did, in her same old disguise, still very obvious. They must think I’m dumb, right? I mean, should I be offended at this point? I should, right?
Lily: Yeah, probably.
Billy: I gave her an earful and an eyeful to report back to adam, so now it is time to celebrate. Are you mad at me that I left?
Lily: Well, I’m not very happy.
Billy: Oh. I’m sorry. Can I make it up to you?
Lily: No.
Billy: Are you sure? Can I try?
Lily: [ Chuckles ]
Billy: How’s that?
Lily: Mm. I mean, that’s nice, I guess.
Billy: Mm-hmm. How about this?
Lily: Yeah, that’s okay.
Billy: And where were we before I left?
Lily: Mm. We were right here.
