Nick: I wish we’d hear something.
Victor: Be patient, son.
Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m trying, dad.
Victor: What happened to your sister last night must be utterly devastating and traumatizing. What ashland locke has done to your sister is going to take a long time to get over.
Nikki: Yes, your father is right. It’s important that we give her this time to sort through her feelings, although I was really hoping that I would hear from her assistant by now. Let us know she’s in the office.
Nick: We don’t know if she’s gonna go into work today.
Nikki: Yes, she will. She’s a lot like your father in that regard. Focusing on work has gotten her through many heartbreaks in the past.
Nick: We don’t know if she can use work as a distraction, you know, thanks to ashland. He is co-owner of newman/locke. He’s co-ceo.
Victor: I will promise you that ain’t gonna last very long. We’re gonna cut that bastard out of our family and out of the family business.
Nikki: In a way that protects victoria’s dignity and privacy.
Victor: Of course, that goes without saying.
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Nick: What’s wrong?
Victor: My security team just saw victoria at crimson lights, and ashland locke has joined her.
Ashland: Victoria, I…
[ Chuckles ] I just thank god, I’m so relieved I found you. I was…I was hoping that you would come home last night so we could talk.
Victoria: Why? What would be the point? You just declared that you weren’t gonna try anymore to save our marriage.
Ashland: Words that i regretted the moment I said them. But I would think you already know that, assuming you read my texts.
Victoria: I did.
Ashland: But you didn’t respond. B-because you believe what your family is saying about me.
Victoria: Well, what am i supposed to believe? You’ve offered me no explanation, no defense whatsoever.
Ashland: I chose, in the moment, to not dignify their insulting accusations, but I do think I gave you something you could believe in. I told you how much I love you, how much I need you. And I’m sure you could see that came straight from my heart.
Chance: [ Imitates engine ] Whoa! Here we go, dom! Off daddy’s arm, onto the couch, and [Imitates engine] Here it comes, the magical flying car coming in for a landing.
[ Imitates brakes squealing ]
[ Laughs ] Ahh, that’s fun, huh, man? You like that? Yeah? I’ll tell you what, man, by the time you’re driving, there will probably be flying cars. Yeah, how about that?
Abby: Wow, sounds very exciting. Dominic has a lot of amazing things to look forward to.
Chance: Check it out, dom. Mommy’s coming to play with us. Hey, mommy.
Abby: [ Laughs ] Well, it looks like you guys are having so much fun. Why don’t I make a snack?
Chance: Oh, boy, a snack. What do you think, man? You ready to chow down? “That’s a big affirmative, mommy.”
Abby: [ Laughs ] Coming right up.
[ Laughs ]
Chance: Here it comes. We’re off into the takeoff. It’s flying through the air. It’s incredible. Here it comes.
[ Imitates engine ]
Nick: Damn it, I bet you ashland is stalking her.
Victor: Okay, we need to get over there.
Nick: Alright, let’s go.
Nikki: Alright, wait a minute, wait a minute. Before we go rushing over to her defense, let’s think about this.
Nick: What is there to think about?
Nikki: As much as we hate the idea of ashland being anywhere near her, she’s not in any danger. She’s in a public place. She can handle herself, and if there is a problem, your man is standing by ready to intervene.
Nick: We don’t know what her frame of mind is. If she is vulnerable, ashland will take advantage of that.
Nikki: I know, but if we go in there like the cavalry, she’s gonna resent it, and then ashland will take advantage of that.
Victor: Son, just go over there and check it out, please.
Nikki: Alright, look, whatever you do, please don’t make a scene.
Nick: Don’t worry, I’ll finesse things.
Nikki: Thank you.
Nick: And I promise you I’m not gonna hit him, as much as i want to.
Nikki: Oh, good thinking.
Victor: [ Sighs ]
Nikki: [ Sighs ]
Victoria: I heard every word that you said. But what I saw in your eyes told a different story. I saw fear. And I saw desperation. Where was that coming from?
Ashland: I welcome the chance to discuss that with you, but… not here, please. Can we just go home?
Victoria: Answer the question.
Billy: Give him hell, vick. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Victoria: I have never seen you run scared from my family before.
Ashland: I didn’t run scared. I saw what your family was doing to you with their constant harassment. They were pouring poison into your mind, and there was nothing I could do to fight it. I can’t answer their questions because I don’t know yet who’s setting me up.
Victoria: Is that really still your excuse, that you’re being framed?
Ashland: Yeah! Because I am.
Victoria: Some unknown person erased all evidence of your cancer records here in the us and then bribed doctors in some clinic in peru, and then linked the payments to one of your divisions to make it look like you were behind it?
Ashland: Victoria, I have made so many enemies over the years. It could be any number of people, but without solid facts to defend myself, how could you possibly expect me to stand up against your parents, your brothers, your family, your friends?
[ Sighs ] Not to mention — was I supposed to isolate you from the people who care about you the most? I couldn’t do that. That wasn’t right.
Victoria: Oh, so you did this for my sake.
Ashland: Yeah, it was a difficult moment. My thinking was muddled, but, yes, my instinct was to protect you. It always is. And — and I have no doubt that you did see desperation in my eyes, because I was about to lose the woman I love, the woman who has stood by me and fought for me, even when we thought i had nothing to fight for. It was one thing for you to stand by me fighting my cancer, but for you to go to war with your entire family? I couldn’t ask you to do that.
Victoria: So you’re saying that I’m the problem, because of my lack of faith in you.
Ashland: Exactly the opposite. I don’t blame you for being influenced by their doubts.
Victoria: This has nothing to do with anyone influencing me.
Ashland: O– okay. That was a poor choice of words. I apologize. Let me start again. I know better than anyone what a strong-willed, independent woman you are. But this so-called evidence against me would be too much for anyone to ignore.
Ashland: Now, I-I am determined to find out who’s setting me up and to show you that I am still the man you fell in love with. Who loves you with all his heart and soul.
Victoria: If you lied to me about being sick, then you don’t really love me.
Ashland: You said “if.” Is there still some part of you that trusts me enough to know that I would never do anything like that to you?
Billy: No. Victoria, do not let him get away with this.
Chance: Oh, it’s coming down!
[ Groans ] I could hear my team inside. And they were yelling. That hurt much worse than the shrapnel in my leg, I’ll tell you. Some of the toughest people i know screaming for their lives. I couldn’t move. Felt pretty worthless. After that, there was just silence. And I knew what that meant. I got on my feet. I looked for survivors, you know, calling out names, digging through the rubble, but I got nothing. The bastards that did it showed up looking for survivors, as well. I played dead until they left… surrounded by my friends’ bodies, and I hid. Why did I survive when they didn’t? Why me?
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
Ashland: Thank you for taking this time with me. You didn’t have to. I’m sure you’d rather be at the office right now, running our company.
Victoria: I know I can count on my mom to handle things until I get in.
Ashland: Did you stay at the ranch last night?
Victoria: I needed time to think.
Billy: Stop, stop, stop. Victoria’s talking to ashland. Do not interrupt them. I’m hoping she’s about to throw that hot cup of coffee in his face.
Nick: How much do you know?
Billy: Everything. She told me everything. I have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
Abby: Snack time.
Chance: Oh, boy. Did you hear that, dom? It’s snack time. I tell you what, you do not know how good you got it, man. Your mom is the best. And she’s beautiful — look at her. And fun, and she is a great cook, I’ll tell you what.
Abby: Oh, yes, it takes great culinary skill to put some cheese and crackers on a plate.
Chance: Well, she’s also very kind and understanding and patient.
Abby: Hmm. It sounds like you want something.
Chance: She’s also very perceptive.
Abby: What do you need, chance? Whatever it is, all you have to do is ask.
Billy: I can’t tell you how pissed off I am that he screwed her over the way that he did. Not that I’m surprised. I assume you’re not either, ’cause we had his number from the beginning.
Nick: I hope that’s not what you said to her.
Billy: Close.
Nick: I bet that went over well.
Billy: Actually, she admitted that we were right. She’s mad at herself that she fell for his garbage.
Nick: He’s the one she should be mad at.
Billy: She is. Believe me, she is. Or…she was. Thought she was gonna smack him when he first walked in. Then he started giving her that stupid look that he’s perfected, all pained and sincere. Like he’s the victim — he’s done it his entire life. You think she’d see through it by now.
Ashland: I was up most of the night, thinking about the terrible mistake I made. It was wrong of me to walk out on you the way I did. You are more than capable of making your own decisions, and it’s not my place to do that for you. If you can’t get past your doubts about me, I will understand that. I will respect your wishes, whatever they are. But if there is the slightest chance that you’re willing to wait for me until I can clear my name…that would be a miracle.
Victoria: I think everything is going to work out.
Ashland: Do you mean that?
Victoria: I need to deal with my family.
Ashland: Let me go with you. I can —
Victoria: No, I’d like to do it alone.
Ashland: But — but —
Victoria: I’ll be fine.
Ashland: Okay.
Victoria: I’ll meet you afterwards at society.
Ashland: I’ll be waiting.
[ Sighs ] This means the world to me. You have no idea.
Nick: What the hell?
Nikki: Oh, this waiting…
Victor: Believe me, I wish we had heard something by now.
Nikki: There’s an executive staff meeting in 10 minutes. I’ll have to cover for victoria and ashland.
Victor: How are you gonna explain their absence?
Nikki: By being as vague as possible.
Victor: We have to keep it quiet about what happened last night, okay? Until that scum’s out of the company, I don’t want anyone to know about it.
Nikki: When victoria’s ready, we will all sit down together and hammer out a strategy.
Victor: I think you’re more worried about victoria than you’re letting on.
Nikki: Well, yes, of course I’m worried. Ashland has lied to her before, but never anything like this. This is a crushing betrayal, and we saw how devastated she was when she finally admitted what he had done.
Victor: I think once the shock wears off, she will want to be rid of that loser as much as we do.
Nikki: Well, don’t expect that to happen overnight. It’s going to take a while for her to get over this. I mean, this marriage was her dream. Falling in love with ashland was effortless for her. He adored her — or so she thought. He told her everything that she had longed to hear. Now all of that has been shattered, along with her sense of judgment. And this is even worse than when things ended with billy. I mean, god knows they tried to make that work so many times. But she trusted a–
Victor: Hold on a second.
Nikki: What?
Victor: Oh, my goodness.
Nikki: What?
Victor: Nicholas is watching ashland and victoria. Oh, my god. And she just went into his arms. That bastard is manipulating her. I’m gonna have to put a stop to that.
Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you, face your family together?
Victoria: If you’re asking me to trust you, then you have to trust me.
Ashland: You’re right. Of course you’re right. You’re always right.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ] You’ve been handling your family for a long time, long before i came into the picture. You know best how to deal with them. I just can’t help wanting to look out after you, to protect you. It’s instinctive.
Victoria: But if you’re there, it’s just gonna make everything more tense, and there’s nothing that you can say to my family that’s gonna convince them that you’re innocent without proof, and — and you don’t have that yet.
Ashland: But you know I’m not gonna stop until I do have it.
Victoria: Yes, I know. I know that you’re — you’re relentless.
Ashland: I was thinking i might never see that smile again.
Victoria: Never is an awfully long time.
Ashland: Still, it’s all I’m living for now. To make sure that you and I are gonna be okay. That is everything. Good luck.
Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thanks.
Ashland: Not that you’re gonna need it.
Billy: What was that?
Victoria: Have you been spying on me this whole time? What is he doing here? Did you call him?
Nick: Absolutely not.
Billy: And we weren’t spying on you, okay? I was still here when he walked in, and I wanted to stick around to make sure that you were okay. We didn’t interrupt because we were hoping we were gonna watch you kick his ass to the curb.
Nick: Instead it’s all hugs and kisses? You cannot be serious.
Victoria: I don’t have to explain myself to either one of you.
Nick: Do not tell me you’re gonna forgive this lying creep again.
Victoria: Okay, I won’T.
Nick: Vick, come on.
Victoria: Nicholas, why can you not just trust me for once? I know what I’m doing. And thank you for listening to me earlier and respecting me. It meant a lot.
Nick: I don’t like this at all.
Abby: Come, sit.
Chance: I can see you’re upset.
Abby: I’m not upset. I’m just worried, and please don’t tell me that there isn’t any reason to be.
Chance: Okay. Well, before you ask, yes, I am still having panic attacks, nightmares, you know, the disturbing thoughts. All that hasn’t gone away just yet.
Abby: Yeah, I saw you fighting through one a moment ago.
Chance: Yeah, but I’m okay. Really, things are getting better, I promise. Sometimes it just — it just sneaks up on me, you know? Less often than before.
Abby: And I assume this is something that you shared with your therapist?
Chance: Yeah, yeah. Dr. Huffman is, you know, helping me understand these a little bit better, what’s going on up here when they’re happening. He taught me some breathing exercises, some relaxation techniques to help.
Abby: Good, I’m glad.
Chance: But he also recommended something else, and in order to follow through on that, I’m really gonna need your support.
Abby: Of course, absolutely, yeah, I will support you any way that I can.
Chance: Well, you might want to wait and hear what it is first, ’cause I have a feeling you’re not gonna like what he recommended.
Abby: Try me.
Nick: What did victoria say to you before ashland showed up? How did she seem?
Billy: I think you should go find your sister and ask her yourself.
Nick: I can’t do that, billy. If I push it any more with her, it could really backfire.
Billy: Yeah, that’s true.
Nick: So when you talked to her, what did she say? Was she making excuses for ashland? Was she trying to come up with reasons to believe his story?
Billy: No. Not at all. She told me flat-out that he lied about everything. She said she looked in his eyes and knew that he was guilty.
Nick: Thank god.
Billy: We also talked about him being potentially dangerous.
Nick: Are you serious?
Billy: Yes, which is why i don’t understand what the hell just happened. How does that conversation end with them being affectionate?
Nick: Well, think about it, he’s still co-owner of newman/locke. He is the co-ceo. He’s got all this leverage on her. As much as we would’ve liked to have seen her go off on him, maybe it’s not her best move.
Billy: [ Sighs ]
Victor: Where’s victoria?
Nick: She’s — she’s already gone.
Victor: You and I need to talk in private.
Billy: No, I’m good. She told me about everything.
Victor: Did she?
Billy: Which is why you should’ve teamed up with me in the beginning. We could’ve stopped ashland in his tracks.
Victoria: [ Sighs ]
Victoria: Hi. It’s me. I need to see you right away.
“The young and the restless”
will continue.
Chance: How was he? He go to sleep okay?
Abby: Yes, all that play time with daddy wore him out.
[ Chuckles ]
Chance: We’re gonna have to work on his stamina, huh?
Abby: Yeah. Okay, so I am all yours. Please tell me what dr. Huffman suggested to help you work through this.
Chance: Well…it’s funny you phrase it that way, because he thinks I should literally work through it. He thinks I should go back to the police force.
Abby: Wow, okay.
[ Chuckles ] Well, that is the last thing i expected your therapist to say.
Chance: Why do you say that?
Abby: I mean, didn’t you tell him about what happened when you went on the stakeout with rey?
Chance: Yeah, of course. Of course I did. I mean, we had a very detailed conversation about the whole thing.
Abby: And?
Chance: Well, we agreed that, at the time, I was expecting too much of myself. And now I can approach it, you know, differently.
Abby: Okay, um…look, I know that dr. Huffman is a professional and I’m not trying to second-guess what he said, but, I mean, it’s just — it’s really hard for me to fathom that he would want you to go back to work, to put yourself under that kind of pressure when you’re not ready.
Chance: He thinks I am ready.
Abby: But — but clearly you haven’t healed from the trauma that you suffered in spain — the nightmares and the flashbacks are proof of that.
Chance: I think his idea is that getting back to my normal routine and building up my confidence in these certain situations, that’s all gonna be part of the healing process. But, listen, I understand if you have reservations or concerns. And if you’re uncomfortable with it, that’s fine. I don’t have to do it.
[ Knock on door ]
Nikki: Here I am. I’m so glad you called.
Victoria: How was the staff meeting?
Nikki: Oh, uneventful. I just said that you and ashland couldn’t make it and let it go at that. You seem tired, honey.
Victoria: I didn’t sleep much.Nikki: I don’t think any of us did.
Victoria: I’m sorry that i didn’t get back to you and your texts. I turned my phone off. I just needed some time to myself last night.
Nikki: Oh, no, I’m glad that you took it. How are you feeling now?
Victoria: Better. Where’s dad? I would assume that he would be with you.
Nikki: Actually, he left to go find you.
Victoria: [ Scoffs ] I’m sure he knew exactly where to find me. And don’t deny that he had me followed. I’m pretty sure I saw one of his security team outside my hotel, and then nicholas showed up at crimson lights when I was there. Surprise, surprise.
Nikki: We didn’t intend invade your privacy. We just wanted to make sure you were alright.
Victoria: And that I wasn’t with ashland.
Nikki: Well, we didn’t want him harassing you.
Victoria: After he made his dramatic announcement that he’s walking away from our marriage.
Nikki: Oh, none of us put much stock in that.
Victoria: Well, you were right.
Nikki: What do you mean? I know that you spoke to ashland at the coffee house. Did he admit to lying about being sick?
Victoria: No, no such luck. He insists still that he’s being set up and he’s going to “prove his innocence.”
Nikki: But you don’t believe that.
Victoria: Mother, I’m only willing to get into this once. Would you please call nicholas and dad and have them come back here? And I’ll tell you everything that you need to know.
Victor: Billy boy, I’m not interested in your opinion.
Billy: Oh, that’s too bad, ’cause if you were interested back in tuscany, victoria wouldn’t be in this situation, would she?
Nick: This isn’t doing any good. We all want the same thing here, and that is to get victoria out of this disaster of a marriage.
Victor: Let me ask you, what was she doing in locke’s arms?
Nick: I don’t know, dad. I asked her about it.
Victor: Did she have any explanation?
Nick: None. She just insisted that she knows what she’s doing.
Billy: I talked to her before ashland got here, and believe me, she was furious with him.
Nick: It’s hard to know where her head is.
Victor: Excuse me. Yes, darling. Is victoria with you?
Nikki: Yes, she’s back in the office, and she would like to speak to all of us together.
Victor: We’ll be right over. Let’s go, son. Did I ask you to come along? This is a family affair. You stay out of it.
Billy: My kids are part of that family, so you damn well better believe that I’m gonna protect their interests.
Victor: Stay out of it, billy boy. I’m warning you.
Nick: Dad, come on. Want strong hair even after coloring?
Abby: I’m not asking you to drop the idea of going back to work. I want that for you. I mean, that has always been the goal. That is why I had encouraged therapy in the first place. I just — I need help understanding why dr. Huffman is taking this position.
Chance: Okay, well, I’ll do my best to explain.
Abby: Why does he think that doing this now wouldn’t be too much, too soon?
Chance: Abby, I’m in a better place. I am. Yes, I am still struggling with some things, I know. But when I went on that stakeout with rey — first of all, that was a very impulsive decision. I did not think that through at all. And second, there were certain uncertainties, certain pressures that have faded since then, right? You know, dominic was sick, and we didn’t know why. We weren’t sure about sharing custody with devon. We didn’t know how that was gonna go. I mean, I had so much uncertainty on so many different fronts. That’s not the case now. I feel good and I feel like I’m back on the right track.
Abby: Yeah. I do, too.
Chance: And look, I’m certain that this guy knows what he’s talking about. I trust him. Getting mentally stronger, it’s not about just sitting around and waiting to get better, right? It’s like exercising a muscle — you got to do a little bit at a time and build yourself back up.
Abby: Okay, so you’re not talking about throwing yourself back into work full force.
Chance: No. I will pace myself, I promise. I will see how things go. And look, I know I’m gonna have setbacks. I know there are gonna be days that are worse than others. I am more equipped to handle all that now. I am. I understand that this is part of the process. Failure is inevitable sometimes. Things go wrong, and people make mistakes. It doesn’t have to define you or hold you back.
Abby: Well, I can tell that you put a great deal of thought into this. And I would never want to be the one standing in your way.
Chance: Are you kidding me? That’s not what you’re doing. I understand your concerns are out of love. I do. But I’m confident that this is a step I need to take.
Abby: Then…so am I.
Chance: Thank you. Thank you for being the most supportive partner a man could ask for, really.
Victoria: So at the staff meeting, how did the division heads react to the new vacation policy?
Nikki: Oh, most were in favor. The employees who have children like the idea of being able to sync up their days off with the school calendar.
Victoria: I don’t foresee that being an issue, do you?
Nikki: No, no, I think we should implement it and see how things go, reassess it at the end of the year.
Victoria: Agreed.
[ Sighs ] What?
Nikki: I knew that work would be what brought you back to us, and I’m so glad. But we shouldn’t pretend that a major upheaval hasn’t just taken place.
Victoria: I’m not pretending.
Nikki: No?
Victoria: No, I’m compartmentalizing.
Nikki: I see.
Victoria: It’s my strong suit, okay?
Nikki: Darling, no one is questioning your strength. You don’t have to prove yourself to anybody. You were deceived — we all were. And the only one to blame for that is ashland. But we’re your family and we will stand by you.
Victoria: Well, that’s great, mom, but we might have different ideas of what that should look like.
Nikki: Meaning what?
[ Door opens ]
Victor: We’ve been very worried about you.
Victoria: I gave you good reason to worry by running off the way that I did. I’m sorry about that.
[ Sighs ] I was just reacting to the bomb exploding, and… but I wanted to reassure you that I am not falling apart, and nor do I plan to.
Billy: Hey, ashland.
Ashland: Hello, billy.
Billy: How’s everything in your world?
Ashland: Fantastic. How are you?
Billy: I’m good. Good, thank you for asking. Yeah, really loving my gig at chancellor. Most fulfilling job I’ve ever had, which I’m sure is annoying to you since you tried to ruin my career.
Ashland: Oh, I was just hoping that you would learn a lesson, that’s all. And back the hell off. Apparently you’ve done both, so good for you.
Billy: You always land on your feet, don’t you? Even though you lied, cheated, and stole your way into your so-called accomplishments in life, including your name. And even when you get caught, nothing sticks. I wouldn’t count on that continuing if I were you.
Ashland: [ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ] Pain hits fast.
Abby: Mmm.
[ Chuckles ] Unfortunately, I have to slow this down.
[ Scoffs ]
Chance: Should we — should we check on dom first, yeah?
Abby: No, I have to get to society. I told the manager I’d go over some things with her.
Chance: Okay. Are you sure you want me to go back to work? Right.
Abby: I love you.
Chance: Alright.
[ Sighs ] Hey, rey. How you doing? Excellent. Yeah. Well, listen, man, I was hoping we could meet up. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.
Ashland: You seem so delighted at the prospect of my eventual downfall. Is that just wishful thinking or do you know something i don’t?
Billy: It’s inevitable.
Ashland: Based on?
Billy: You can only roll the dice so many times before it comes up snake eyes.
Ashland: Said the man with the gambling problem.
Billy: And you made the mistake of marrying a woman as savvy as victoria.
Ashland: I think it’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
Billy: Well, I trust that sooner or later, she’s gonna see through you. And when she does, I would not want to be standing in your $10,000 italian shoes. Thank you.
Victor: To be frank with you, I’m stunned that you’re coping as well as you are. I mean, the last few days must have been horrendously difficult for you.
Victoria: Stop it.
Nikki: Darling, please just hear him out.
Victor: Sweetheart, I think you’re still in a state of shock. What ashland locke has done to you, basing your entire relationship on a lie.
Victoria: Daddy, don’t patronize me. I know exactly what I’m doing.
Victor: I’m not patronizing you.
Nick: It’s the same thing she said to me right after I saw her kissing ashland.
Nikki: What? You kissed him?
Victoria: Alright, listen up, all of you, because I’m only gonna say this once. I intend to handle this how i see fit, on my own, and you don’t have to like it.
Victor: Sweetheart, excuse me, what has come over you? How are you gonna handle ashland locke?
Victoria: I’m meeting him when I leave here, and I’m gonna tell him that nothing has to change between us and that i still love him.
