Lily: What do you think about getting out of here and going back to our place?

Billy: I knew it.

Lily: You knew what?

Billy: Well, you were gonna get me on the dance floor and you were gonna want to take me home.

Lily: Oh, really? Or maybe I just want to take you home so you can stop embarrassing yourself.

Billy: “Potayto,” “potahtoe.”

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: What? What’s wrong?

Billy: Nothing.

Lily: Look, if you are still worried about chancellor-winters and leaving, don’t be, okay? I know that devon’s upset, but he’ll get over it.

Billy: That’s not what it is.

Lily: Well, then what is it?

Billy: You’re probably not gonna want to hear this, but I’m worried about chelsea. I’m not sure if you saw the way she bolted out of here.

Lily: No, I didn’t see ’cause I was busy enjoying our dance. But I guess you were watching chelsea.

Billy: Well, she’s a mess, lily, and I am concerned about her.

Lily: Okay. What do you think she’s gonna do?

Billy: I don’t know. But she was talking to adam, and I’m sure he said something that upset her because that’s what he does.

Lily: Well, maybe she went to go make a call and needed privacy. I mean, you’re jumping to conclusions.

Billy: Maybe, but I would feel a lot better if I knew that she came back here safely, at least for my peace of mind.

Lily: Yeah. Okay. Let’s finish our drinks.

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: [ Gasps ]

Nate: Trick or treat.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Nate. Happy halloween.

[ Chuckles ] Come on in.

Nate: Thanks. You know, I almost forgot it was halloween until I saw your security guard downstairs dressed as frankenstein.

Victoria: Oh, yes, that’s — that’s donny. The only problem is he dresses that way year round.

Nate: Well, it’s good to see someone with holiday spirit. I’ve been wrapped up in my own head lately.

Victoria: Yes, you have had a lot to think about.

Nate: But I don’t want to get in the way of your plans. We can do this tomorrow if you have to get back home to your kids.

Victoria: Oh, no, no, no. No, they’re — the kids are occupied. That’s why I reached out to you and suggested that we meet tonight. So, I’m glad you could do it. Let’s do it. Have a seat.

Nate: Alright.

Victoria: I hope that you’re here because you cannot wait to tell me, “yes, victoria, I want to be the ceo of newman media.”

Actually, I’m here to say, “no, victoria, I can’t accept your offer.”

Chelsea: [ Gasps ] Skin feeling dry? Swipe it away.

Victoria: I’m a little surprised you’re turning down my job offer. I can only imagine the reason that you have declined is because you’ve patched things up with devon and you’re heading back to chancellor-winters. Am I right?

Nate: Not exactly. There hasn’t been a patching-up of any kind.

Victoria: Oh. Well, that’s too bad because if you had worked things out with him, I would — I would begrudgingly congratulate you and accept your decision.

Nate: Right before you made me the offer, I did seek out devon to try to talk about things. I thought we were making some headway, but he made it clear he no longer trusts me.

Victoria: I hate to see that kind of rift within a family. But if you’re not going back to chancellor-winters, why not join us at newman media?

Nate: I’ve given it a lot of thought. There’s a lot to like about your offer.

Victoria: I should say so.

Nate: But ultimately, I’m worried about how me taking this job might affect you.

Victoria: Me? [ Chuckles ] Well, now I’m totally confused.

Nate: I’m afraid of how it would look. If you hire me to run newman media, ousting sally spectra in the process, people are gonna know you were the ceo I was giving information to. Devon, lily, jill — they’ll all connect the dots.

Victoria: That’s certainly a possibility.

Nate: And after everything else that’s gone wrong with this botched deal, I don’t want them to put a target on your back.

Lily: Hello? Billy?

Billy: You know, the more time that passes, the more I’m convinced that adam said something to chelsea to make her run out the way that she did.

Lily: Even if you’re right, it is none of our business. And look at him. He doesn’t look upset at all, okay? She might have just called it a night. She has a room here, doesn’t she? Yeah.

Billy: Yeah, no, of course that’s a possibility, but the way that she ran out, it wasn’t exactly saying that she was tired and she wanted to go to sleep. It was different than that.

Lily: Mm. Okay, so now you’re an expert on exits. Right.

Billy: Lily, my gut is telling me that she’s in a bad place, okay? And she’s been through a lot, and I’m not just talking about the stuff with connor and johnny.

Lily: Look, I am really sorry that she’s struggling, and i understand that you’re worried, but I really hope this is not how you’re gonna spend your newly found free time.

Billy: What does that mean?

Lily: Well, because now that you left the company, I hope that you’re not gonna keep busy by interfering in other people’s lives.

Billy: Is that what you think I’m doing, I’m interfering with chelsea’s life?

Lily: Yes, I do. You interfered with devon and nate, and now you’re interfering with chelsea. I think it’s a pattern that you might want to avoid.

Billy: I think I know where she went.

Lily: Right, and you want to go find her right now?

Billy: I’m sorry I got to leave you like this, but I got to go.

[ Music playing faintly ]

Chelsea: Oh, my god. How did I get here? And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Victoria: I appreciate your concern, nate, but as I have been telling my father every day for the last 20 years, I don’t need protecting. It’s business. It’s a contact sport.

Nate: Maybe. But even guys like michael jordan had people like charles oakley looking out for him.

Victoria: Yeah, but jordan got bumps and bruises. That’s how the game is played. And I expect that. I took a calculated risk. I knew there might be consequences. So please don’t worry about me.

Nate: Noted.

Victoria: Besides, hiring you doesn’t prove anything. Devon and lily — they may think that I tried to come after their company, but they can’t prove it. Actually, hiring you to be ceo of newman media makes me look innocent.

Nate: How do you figure?

Victoria: Why would I hire somebody that just wrecked my plans? I’d have to be crazy.

[ Both laugh ]

Nate: I see you have all your bases covered, don’t you?

Victoria: I try.

[ Glasses clink ] I learned from the best. And, you know, those are the kind of real-world experiences that you will learn from me if you come aboard. But the real question is, are you the one who’s worried about being found out?

Nate: What do you mean?

Victoria: Do you think that it would cause irreparable harm to your relationship with your family if they found out that i was the ceo that you were collaborating with?

Nate: No. That ship has sailed. They feel I betrayed them. Devon and I — that can’t be fixed.

Victoria: Not at all?

Devon: Maybe one day down the road we can reconcile, but i don’t see it happening anytime soon.

Victoria: I’d say that that’s another reason that you should take the job.

Nate: I’m not so sure about that.

Victoria: Why are you holding back, nate? You can tell me.

Nate: It’s more than just keeping our alliance a secret.

Victoria: Like what?

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Like, why the hell would you offer me a job after I blew up the deal of a lifetime?

Lily: Thank you.

Adam: Hey, your date ran off and left you with the check, huh? I’m sure that’s not the first time billy’s pulled that stunt.

Lily: Actually, no. It’s not even the first time today.

Adam: All that money the abbotts have, they really don’t like to spend it, do they?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I guess we’re in the same boat. Where did chelsea go?

Adam: She just went to the restroom.

Lily: Are you sure? ‘Cause I saw her going in the other direction, and she looked very upset.

Adam: Did you notice that, or did billy notice that?

Lily: He mentioned it to me.

Adam: Ah. Yes, obviously he’s monitoring her, and obviously he is wrong, as usual. We actually were having a good, positive conversation. Unless you’re implying that i misread that. Maybe you think that billy knows chelsea better than I do. I know he sure does.

Lily: I didn’t mean anything by it.

Adam: Oh, no, it’s okay. I understand. I just don’t really understand why he feels compelled to be her knight in shining armor lately. It’s like every time I see chelsea, he’s not far behind.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Yeah. I mean, I don’t know. I don’t know. They have a long history, obviously, and he’s been concerned about her behavior.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I get that. But I don’t understand why he feels the need to involve himself. I mean, what is it? Does he feel guilty about the podcast that he yanked away from her? Or is it about johnny? Is he trying to make up for something?

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Adam: Burying the pain doesn’t make it go away.

Billy: I hope you’re taking care of yourself.

Adam: But now it seems like you’re backsliding. Since rey died, you’re not yourself.

Chloe: What was I thinking? Ridiculous of me, caring about you. Instead of saving you time and time again, I should have just let you crash and burn, like you always do.

Victoria: Your goal is to weasel your way into my son’s life, even after billy obviously told you he wants nothing to do with you.

Johnny: You are not my mom.

Connor: You were pregnant with johnny, and you gave him away as a baby?

Adam: Chelsea, listen to yourself. You can’t use connor as a life preserver. He’s a kid. Fixing his mom is not his job. It’s like you’re latching on to something to fill a void.

Billy: I’m not trying to be harsh, but you’re overstepping.

Chloe: You call me controlling? You are impossible. Things can’t go on this way.

Adam: This isn’t just a mood. Something is seriously wrong.

Chelsea: Stop! I don’t want to hear this!

Billy: What are you thinking? You can’t kiss me.

Adam: You’ve turned your own son against you.

Connor: Leave me alone! Don’t ever come back!

Chloe: I was counting on you, but you gave up.

Victoria: Stay away from my son.

Johnny: You ruined my life.

Connor: You’ve ruined all of our lives.

Adam: How many lives have you ruined?

Billy: You’ve failed at the easiest job there is.

Chloe: You have failed at being a partner.

Adam: You’ve failed at every relationship.

Victoria: You’ve failed at being a mother.

Johnny: You have failed at being a mother.

Connor: You’ve failed at being my mother, too.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Stop. Why won’t it stop?

Johnny: You are not my mom!

Adam: It’s like you’re latching on to something to fill a void.

Connor: You were pregnant with johnny and you gave him away as a baby?

Adam: He’s a kid. Fixing his mom is not his job.

Victoria: Your goal is to weasel your way into my son’s life.

Adam: This isn’t a mood. Something is seriously wrong.

Chloe: Things can’t go on this way.

Billy: Chelsea…

you never know

what opportunities

Billy: Chelsea… you know, I thought I might find you up here.

Chelsea: Stay back, billy.

Billy: What’s going on? I saw you leave the club. Did adam say something to you to get you upset? Is that what happened? You know, I’m glad you came up here. This is our spot, and, uh, i knew where to look for you. I’m just gonna take a little step closer, okay, chelsea? That’s all.

Chelsea: I want to be alone. I want to be alone.

Billy: I get that. Alone is good, but I’m gonna stick around, if that’s okay with you…just in case you want to talk…or yell. You know, you can yell at me about anything. You know that? Are you upset about the conversation you had with victoria? Because I understand. I get it. I know how much you love johnny. And we can talk about that. We can talk about anything. I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere.

Chelsea: I don’t want to talk.

Billy: We don’t have to. Chels, I’m gonna, uh — I’m gonna give you my jacket ’cause it’s windy up here, okay? I want you to be warm, okay? You got to be cold up there. Chelsea, just put the jacket on, okay?

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Billy: Chelsea. Can you step back from the ledge and just put the jacket on, please?

Adam: Look, I am aware that chelsea has been overwhelmed lately. This has been a very stressful time for her. I mean, really, she’s been struggling since rey died. Professionally, she’s scattered. She’s lost friends, and she hasn’t been able to make new ones. And now she’s dealing with this johnny and connor stuff. And I’ve tried to be encouraging, but she doesn’t always seem to see it that way.

Lily: So, you were being encouraging when you were talking to her?

Adam: I was. And I got the sense that she was feeling better. I told her I think she should get some counseling, and she was leaning that way, too.

Lily: I don’t think billy’s aware of that.

Adam: Well, there’s a lot that he doesn’t know, and i can’t wrap my head around why he thinks she’s more of an expert on chelsea than I am. I mean, I’m in constant communication with her. We talk several times a day, usually about connor, and she seems to be okay.

Lily: So, what were you talking about before she left?

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Some issues that she’s dealing with. So, I really think that you and billy should just back off because I know what I’m doing when it comes to chelsea.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m glad to hear it.

Nate: [ Sighs ] I guess I’m just cautious after the way ashland took advantage of my naiveté.

Victoria: Of course. That’s understandable. But don’t forget — he played us both for fools. We have that in common.

Nate: That’s true. But his friendship, the way he offered me a job out of the blue, seemed too good to be true. And it was.

Victoria: That is understandable. But I can assure you this is nothing like that. Ashland acted alone. My family supports this job offer.

Nate: So, you just talked to your family about this?

Victoria: Yes. And, full disclosure, nicholas would prefer to keep sally at the job. But my mother fully supports it, and I know that my father will be pleased.

Nate: Wow. See, that doesn’t make sense to me. You just named every member of your family that works at this company. You kept them in the loop because they’re important to you.

Victoria: Absolutely.

Nate: You value family more than anything else, and I just betrayed mine. Why would you want me anywhere near your family business?

Victoria: Because you’ve proven your loyalty to me. Look, I could tell you that I’m offering you this job out of gratitude for what you tried to do with the takeover, but that’s not why I want you here. And certainly you are a very strong businessman. You have great instincts, but that’s not it, either. I want you here, nate, because you’re a good and decent man with focus and drive and intelligence. And, yes, above all of that, you have loyalty. And I want to surround myself with people just like that.

Music (“I swear”) plays

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Nate: Elena tried to warn me, but I practically ignored her. Devon, lily, even billy all appealed to me to stay, slow down, be humble. They wanted me to learn how to do the job instead of rushing full steam ahead with my big ideas. And I didn’t listen.

Victoria: You’re having regrets. It’s not a reason to turn down this offer.

Nate: I don’t know about that. The bigger mistake I made was turning on my cousins, my family. I endangered the company devon and neil built. I’ve always prided myself on being a decent human being. But now I’m having a hard time convincing even myself that’s true. So, I know if you want a good man running your company, I’m not your ideal choice.

Billy: Chelsea, come on. It’s windy up here and it’s cold, okay? I just want you to stay warm. Just put the jacket on. Alright.

Chelsea: Billy, what are you doing?

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: What are you doing?

Billy: Wow, it’s, uh — it’s pretty high up here, isn’t it? It’s a long way down.

Chelsea: Let go.

Billy: It’s alright.

Chelsea: Billy, let go.

Billy: It’s okay, chelsea. Hey. It’s okay. I’m right here, okay?

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ] What do you say we get down and we just keep talking?

Chelsea: I know what you’re trying to do. Please just go. I’m asking. I-I-I’m begging. I just want to be alone. I just want to be by myself.

Billy: Chelsea, I can’t leave you by yourself, okay? I’m gonna stay up here with you. I hope you don’t mind — ’cause this is our place, right?

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Billy: And I want to know what’s going on with you right now, okay? I want to be part of that conversation. So, talk to me.

Chelsea: [ Voice breaking ] I don’t have to tell you anything.

Billy: No, you don’T. Then I’ll do all the talking, okay? You know how many people love and care about you and need you? Okay, most importantly, connor. Let’s — let’s talk about — let’s talk about connor right now.

Chelsea: I-it hurts. So much. It hurts when I wake up. I lie there in bed, and… it feels like I’m floating. It feels like I’m — I’m floating in and I — and I — and I can’t keep my head up. It hurts every single day when i wake up. I don’t want to wake up anymore.

Billy: Thank you. Thank you for sharing that with me. I appreciate that.

[ Sniffles ]

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Billy: Now, I’m getting a little lightheaded, okay? So, how about we go back down there, okay? Can we go back down there? And we can keep talking. We can talk about whatever you want ’cause ’cause I’m gonna go anywhere. I’m gonna stay here with you.

Chelsea: I’ve failed. I’ve failed at everything. I can’t seem to do anything right, and maybe this is payback. Maybe it’s all payback for living such a selfish, greedy life for all those years.

Billy: I don’t think that’s true, chels.

Chelsea: Maybe it’s payback for all my scams or maybe what i did to you when we first met or what I almost did to rey or to adam.

[ Voice breaking ] I’ve hurt so many people. I don’t think… I don’t think I deserve happiness. Maybe I’m just not meant for this world.

[ Crying ]

Billy: Hey. Chelsea, I know you’re in a lot of pain right now, okay? But you are a part of this world. There are so many people that love and — and — and care about you.

Chelsea: No, no, it’s not true. It’s not true. I’ve alienated everybody, everybody — chloe. They’ve all turned their backs on me.

[ Sniffles ] Adam. Victoria. Connor. Connor thinks I don’t love him anymore because of johnny.

Billy: Connor knows that you love him, okay? He loves you. He adores you. He needs to know how much you love him. Chelsea, you are an incredibly strong person. You have overcome amazing things despite adversity. And the thing that I am so impressed with you is your profound love for your son. For both of your sons.

Chelsea: Telling johnny was a mistake. And now he wants nothing to do with me. Victoria ordered me to stay away.

Billy: Do you know where johnny and connor are right now? They’re having a sleepover. On halloween night, they’re together as brothers, okay? That is because of you. And I understand. I get it. This has been really hard on you. But we will get past this. You will get past this — i promise you — and I will be here every step of the way, okay? I ain’t gonna leave you. What do you say? Please? Can we get down? Okay.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Billy: [ Sniffles ]

Chelsea: You’re a good man, billy abbott. Tell connor I slipped.

Billy: No! (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining

Billy: Chelsea —

Chelsea: No!

Billy: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

Chelsea: Get off me!

Billy: It’s okay. I’m not gonna let you do this.

Chelsea: [ Sobbing ] Stop, billy. Let go!

Billy: Chelsea —

Chelsea: Get off! Ugh!

[ Crying ] Get off me, billy.

Billy: It’s okay. No, no, no, no, it’s okay. You’re gonna get through this, chelsea, okay?

Chelsea: [ Sobbing]

Billy: I promise you you’re gonna get through this. And I’m gonna be right here. I’m gonna be right here.

Chelsea: [ Continues sobbing ]

Billy: It’s okay. It’s alright.

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Billy: You’re okay. You’re okay. You’re okay.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Victoria: So, you’re rejecting my offer out of guilt?

Nate: It’s more than that.

Victoria: Yeah, but at its core, you feel remorse for what you did to your family and the rift that it caused with you and devon. I’m not gonna try to brush that aside. I know how painful it can be when you’re at odds with a family member. It makes you feel responsible for what went wrong. It makes you second-guess yourself. It’s awful. I understand. And I understand that it’s gonna take time for you to work through that, with or without devon. But you need to hear this. Deep down, you are still one of the best men that I know. You’ve shown up for my family time and time again. You’ve been a true and loyal& friend.

[ Sighs ] And even when you lost your gift, when you couldn’t perform surgery anymore, you found a new path. You’re strong, brilliant, creative. You’re resourceful. And I am not going to allow you to dismiss all of those amazing qualities because you feel guilty. No. You know, you’re an asset. You’re not a liability. And I want newman to be a part of your future. It would only benefit the company, which in turn would benefit my family and me. So, now I have to ask. What do you want?

Adam: Hey, chels. Uh, I believe I’ve been stood up. I thought you were coming back, but clearly you are not. And, uh, it’s okay. Did you go back to the room? I just — I hope you get some rest. I know that you were tired. Just call me and, uh, let me know what happened.

Billy: I’m just gonna put this on you, okay? Here you go.

Chelsea: I’m tired. So tired.

Billy: What are you tired of?

Chelsea: Of everyone telling me to see the bright side, telling me I can turn things around.

Billy: You can turn things around, chelsea. It’s not too late.

Chelsea: Adam wants me to get help. Therapy. But no one really wants to hear what I have to say. They just want to ship me off somewhere so some stranger can try to get me better because they don’t want to have to deal with me anymore.

Billy: I’m right here, okay? And I’m not going anywhere. And I’m gonna listen. Whatever you want to talk about, I’m right here.

Chelsea: I don’t understand why you would do that. You rejected me. It was the only thing I had going for me, and I — I ruined it. I kissed you and — and you said it was a mistake and then you fired me.

Billy: No, chelsea. When I walked away from the podcast, that had nothing to do with you. In fact, I let myself down. Because you were right. I’m not — I’m not made for the corporate world. And I should have listened to you because you are smart and you are insightful. And do you remember the reason why I brought you up here in the first place? ‘Cause this is where I come when I — when I let it out. When the stress and the anxiety gets too much and it takes over everything. And I know right now you feel like you’re alone and that no one understands you. I get it, okay? I have been there. And I promise you, you will get out of the murky water that you find yourself in. You are special, and you have something to offer this world. I promise you that. And you need to hear that. You need to believe that. And I’ll be here for you, okay?

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

Billy: You’re gonna be all right.

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

From the #1 fiber brand comes

metamucil gummies.

Nate: That was quite the pep talk. Or was that a sales pitch?

Victoria: Uh, let’s see. Maybe a little bit of both, but I meant every word.

Nate: It was helpful. I’m having a hard time seeing myself properly. Does that make sense?

Victoria: Well, I think it’s only natural for your perspective to be askew when you’re in turmoil. This will pass. Don’t worry.

Nate: You’re being generous. And I got to admit, you’re persuasive. I suspect it’s because you always know who you are and what you’re about.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, that hasn’t always been the case, especially after all that stuff with ashland. I couldn’t see clearly, but I got through it. You will, too. And I hope you believe me when i say that I am so eager for you to take control of newman media. It’ll be a place for you to learn and grow, and you can follow your instincts. You can implement your ideas. I’m not going to judge how chancellor-winter does things, but we like big ideas around here. You can’t win big if you don’t take chances, right?

Nate: That all sounds great.

Victoria: You know, you and i have been through a lot together.

Nate: You’re right. And those experiences have shown me you’re one of the strongest people I know. I trust you. And that means a lot.

Victoria: So, I’ll ask you again. What do you want, nate?

Nate: I want to be here running newman media.

Victoria: [ Breathes deeply ] That’s great.

Billy: Okay. How about we go inside? Okay? We can get some tea. We can warm you up. And I will keep talking to you. Okay, come here.

Chelsea: Billy, I’m exhausted.

Billy: I know.

Chelsea: I just — I just want — I just want to be alone. I just wanna sleep.

Billy: I get it. Okay. Okay. Here, let’s do this. And you will. You will get some sleep, okay? But I’m not going anywhere. I’m not gonna leave you, okay?

[ Door opens ] Stay here.

Adam: What…

Billy: Adam —

Adam: …Is going on?

Billy: You need to stop. Stop.

Adam: Listen to me. Chelsea, are you alright?

Billy: Adam, you need to go away.

Adam: Tell me what happened.

Billy: I will explain to you later, okay?

Adam: Chelsea…

Billy: Hey —

Adam: …Will you tell me what is going on?

Billy: Adam! Come here.

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Billy: Hey. Chelsea.

Chelsea: Hey.

Billy: Getting some fresh air? Just taking some time for yourself?

Chelsea: Exactly. Are you, um, meeting johnny and victoria?

Billy: I am. Yeah. Did they pass through?

Chelsea: They did. I saw them, but it was a coincidence, I swear.

Billy: I believe you.

Chelsea: I wish I hadn’t seen them.

Billy: Why do you say that?

Chelsea: Johnny seemed very shaken up to see me. Victoria sent him on his way and laid down the law.

Billy: Well, I’m not sure what she said, but I know where she stands on the subject of our son. And, you know, I have to say that I agree with her. We got to put johnny’s needs first and foremost.

Chelsea: Yeah, well, victoria’s way of doing that is basically forbidding me to see johnny ever again.

Billy: And she said that?

Chelsea: She pretty much said if I see him walking down the street, to turn around and walk in the other direction.

Billy: I’m not sure what to say to that.

Chelsea: You don’t have to say anything. Victoria’s decision is probably for the best.

Connor: Hi.

Johnny: Hey, connor.

Connor: Uh, I’m here with my dad.

Johnny: Yeah, I’m just waiting on my mom. So, I heard you know who my birth mom is.

Connor: Yeah. My mom told me everything.

Johnny: And just so you know, it’s not your fault at all. And I don’t mean to be mean, but I was pretty freaked out about it.

Connor: I know the feeling.

Johnny: Worst part is, I, uh, I think your mom’s following me.

Lily: Hello.

Abby: Hey! It’s good to see you guys.

Lily: You, too. Who are you going as tonight?

Abby: Oh, a woman who lost her enthusiasm halfway through dressing up.

Lily: [ Laughs ] I get it. You have to feel it.

Abby: Yeah, it was definitely more fun dressing up dominic earlier.

Devon: Is chance still with that new detective on the force? ‘Cause when I was over to see dominic’s costume, he said that the three of you had big plans tonight.

Abby: Yeah, we were going to, when we thought his stakeout out was canceled. But, of course, it’s back on. Happy halloween.

Lily: What’s going on?

Devon: [ Sighs ] I’m not sure. I’m a little worried about chance and abby, though.

Connor: My mom’s been acting different lately. Like really strange.

Adam: Hey, uh, listen, I have to go. I will — I’ll call you later, okay? Hey, johnny. What’s going on? Everything okay in here?

Connor: We’re fine.

Victoria: Hi, everybody. Happy halloween.

Johnny: What happened between you and chelsea in the park?

Billy: You know, I’m a little surprised you’re so on board with victoria’s demands when it comes to johnny.

Chelsea: It shouldn’t be that surprising. Victoria was right. I saw for myself today how upsetting my mere presence is for him. And it ripped my heart out. You know, you and victoria are not the only ones who want to put johnny’s happiness first. I do. I always have — since the day I gave him to you and victoria to raise.

Billy: Yeah, those were — those were complicated times.

Chelsea: I just regret after all these years, how I misjudged the situation. I never should have pushed to tell johnny the truth. And now I’ve opened this pandora’s box with both johnny and connor. I wish I could undo my mistake. But it can’t turn back the clock. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Lily: Why would you be worried about abby and chance?

Devon: I just get a feeling that she’s not very happy with how much he’s having to work lately. ‘Cause yesterday, he was gone a little bit of the night. And today, apparently, he’s gonna be gone all night.

Lily: Well, I mean, that’s the life of a police detective, isn’t it?

Devon: Yeah, it is. But still, I imagine that it still puts stress on their relationship and on their family life. Abby has a job where she can make up her own hours. Chance doesn’t have that. Even when I was over and we were taking pictures of dominic in his costume, he got called away, and I could tell that it bugged her.

Lily: Well, I mean, that’s not chance’s fault, but I guess I can understand abby’s reaction.

Devon: Yeah, I can, too. And I’m just worried that she’s resenting his commitment to being a cop, whether she can admit that or not.

Lily: Well, whatever it is, they’ll figure it out.

Devon: I hope they can. I care about the two of them a lot.

Lily: So, speaking of couples with career issues, I have some news.

Devon: What is it?

Lily: Billy is resigning from chancellor-winters.

Devon: You serious? Of all the times to leave, he’s going to choose now?

Billy: Look, this has all been a very challenging time, but you got to try not to let the guilt overwhelm you. Johnny and connor, they were going to find out the truth eventually. And ultimately, victoria and i both agreed that now was the right time to tell him. And there’s no way of knowing how he was going to react.

Chelsea: Victoria knew. She said from the start it was a mistake to tell johnny so soon, that he had been through enough trauma. I should have listened to her. I mean, she knows him better than I do, obviously. I’m not his mom.

[ Sighs ] But it’s okay. Really. I-I’m not going to try to be a part of johnny’s life anymore. I-I have learned my lesson. I am backing off. And seeing him today, it was — it was a real wake-up call. I have to start taking my cues from him, and connor. But, you know, I’m — I’m willing to be patient. Just ’cause johnny feels a certain way about things today doesn’t mean he’ll feel that way a few years from now. And maybe connor will get used to a certain dynamic. There’s still time.

Billy: I think that’s a very logical and — and reasonable thing to say. But emotions don’t always adhere to the same rules as logic and reason. I guess I just want to — I just want you to be careful not to set your expectations too high. Okay, of course, I hope you’re right, chelsea. Just don’t pin all your hopes and dreams on whether johnny is going to accept you and love you.

Chelsea: I won’T. All my hopes are officially grounded in cold, hard reality.

Billy: Look, I know that’s — it’s a little bit of a harsh thing to say, and this is not easy, but I think you just got to wait it out.

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah, I-I’ll work through it. I will. I think I just got excited about the idea of johnny finding out who I was, so I was pushing for something that just wasn’t meant to be so soon. And you were right. I mean, you said I was probably lost. So I was reaching out to johnny to balance things, which, at the time, I totally disagreed with. But now I realize it’s the truth. My needs and longing were influencing my thinking. But, um… now I’m thinking really clearly. So I’m just ready to put it all behind me.

Billy: Well, that’s good. I think that’s probably best for everyone.

Chelsea: And, you know, please tell victoria, and johnny, um, they don’t have to worry. I’m not going to be popping up in places or intruding on their lives. I swear. I won’t ever bother them again.

Victoria: Chelsea and i worked everything out, so there’s nothing for you to worry about. And tonight’s halloween, so shouldn’t we be talking about the scariest movie that we’ve ever seen or who has the best costume so far? Yours is amazing, by the way.

Connor: Thanks.

Adam: She’s 100% right. Tonight is a big night, so we need to get focused.

Victoria: And I’m sure that grandma and grandpa are going to have a ton of candy waiting for you at the ranch.

Connor: I’m not going to the ranch tonight. I’m actually going to a sleepover at a friend’s house.

Victoria: Oh. Well, that sounds like a good time. I’ll have to tell you where grandpa’s secret mini bar candy stash is for the next time you have a chocolate craving.

Johnny: I want to know, too.

Adam: Wait a minute. He has a secret stash? Hey, would you guys mind if the adults talk in private for a minute?

Connor: Yeah.

Johnny: Yeah, we’re good.

Adam: Great.

Adam: Okay, what exactly went down with chelsea? Why is johnny upset?

Victoria: Because the woman doesn’t know when to quit.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Connor: The way they asked us if we’d be okay? It’s like our parents thought we were going to get into a fight or something.

Johnny: Yeah. I don’t want to fight you. I just want to hang out with you, as cousins or…brothers. I-it’s weird.

Connor: Super weird. It’s not your fault my mom wants to mess everything up. I just want things to go back to the way they were.

Johnny: Yeah, me, too. My mom wants me to go to katie’s halloween party parade or something, and that’s really the last thing I want to do.

Connor: That bites.

Johnny: Hey, what if I just hang out with you tonight? I could go to the sleepover.

Connor: I’m sure beckett and his parents would be cool with that. And it’s older kids, too, so you don’t have to wear a costume if you don’t want. You should definitely come.

Victoria: I assume that you’re aware that both johnny and connor now know that chelsea is johnny’s biological mother.

Adam: Yes, of course. It has been a seismic shift, and it’s caused a lot of distress for connor.

Victoria: For johnny, too, a lot of distress. Chelsea knows how upset he is, and she continues to push for some kind of a relationship with him. I finally had to draw the line and tell her to back off.

Adam: Hmm. Well, I can only imagine how she took that.

Victoria: Oh, you’d be surprised. I know I was. She actually didn’t argue with me at all.

Adam: Oh. Well, maybe not. But I’m sure she was deeply hurt by that.

Victoria: Possibly. I don’t mean to be insensitive.

Adam: Look, as a parent, I understand why you needed to take that stand. But at the same time, I’m hoping that you can at least try to see chelsea’s perspective in this.

Victoria: I’m sorry, but that’s not a possibility for me right now. Did she tell you the whole story about how she convinced billy and me to share this information with johnny? And why it had to be now?

Adam: Yes, we discussed it — after the fact. And I was upset that she did not include me in that decision.

Victoria: Her original claim was that she wanted to tell johnny the truth because he was going to eventually find out. But then later, she wanted more. She expected to have a relationship with my son. And yes, while I feel sympathy for her, that’s far outweighed by my concern for my son. And quite frankly, I think you would be more worried about how this is affecting connor. If he’s upset, shouldn’t he be yours and chelsea’s sole focus right now?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: [ Crying ]

Connor: Can johnny come with me to beckett’s house for the halloween sleepover party?

Adam: Um, I think that would actually be a great idea. I can text beckett’s mom right now. I mean, if you’re cool with that.

Johnny: Please, mom.

Victoria: You really do want to get out of your sister’s halloween parade, don’t you? Well, I want to say yes —

Johnny: Well, then just do. It’s pretty easy. Y-e-S.

Victoria: Okay. Very funny. I don’t need a spelling lesson. I just — I need a little more information, please.

Johnny: She always needs a little more information.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Who’s going to be bringing you home in the morning?

Adam: I can pick the boys up. It’s not a problem. I’ll bring them home.

Victoria: Alright, well, who’s the family hosting this party?

Adam: Uh, it’s the benfields. They’re on the board of walnut grove.

Victoria: Oh, yes, I know them. They’re a nice family. Okay. Sounds like fun. You can go.

Johnny: Good decision, mom. Thanks.

Connor: Let’s go text beckett.

Billy: Hey. Oh. You know, the two of you smiling at each other is definitely the scariest thing I’ll see all halloween. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Lily: Look, deep down, i think that the company was more my dream than it was billy’S. And I think that he got caught up in my vision and, you know, wanted to support me. But I could tell that his heart wasn’t in it for a while. So he’s going to go pursue something else that he’s passionate about.

Devon: Well, okay. I understand where he’s coming from, but we just lost the coo, and now this is going to be the second one within weeks. And it’s all on the heels of what nate just put us through.

Lily: I know. Billy knows that, too. He offered to stay on longer, but I told him not to. I can take care of things on my own.

Devon: You don’t think that you could use his help during a time like this?

Lily: No, I think that having a coo that doesn’t want to be there is more of a hindrance.

Devon: Fair, sure. But even without him being enthusiastic about the job, you don’t think it’s worth it to have him stick around until you find his replacement?

Lily: Well, he’s more than a colleague to me, right? So I have to take that into consideration.

Devon: Meaning what? That you’d ask him to stay if he wasn’t your boyfriend?

Lily: I mean, come on, devon. Really? That’s a pointless hypothetical.

Devon: No, it’s not. It’s a real question I’m asking. I’ll turn it around on you. If he cares about you this much, wouldn’t he keep his mouth shut about wanting to resign until we’re past this crisis so he doesn’t leave too much on your plate?

Lily: I will have his support, just not at work.

Devon: I-I don’t see this being as easy as you think it’s going to be for you.

Lily: Look, I want what’s best for billy as much as I want what’s best for me. And, yeah, do I wish that he could have stayed on at chancellor-winters in full capacity? Yes, I do. Am I hurt that, you know, it didn’t work out? Of course I am. But honestly, I think it’s probably what’s best for our relationship.

Devon: Okay. I mean, that’s — that’s of course what’s most important is that you guys are happy, so…

Lily: Thank you. So, what’s going on with you? How’s amanda’s mom doing?

Devon: There’s been no change to her condition.

Lily: Is she coming home soon?

Devon: I don’t know.

Lily: Well, maybe you should go to virginia. Go be with her, you know? It could be good for you to get a trip away to sort through your emotions. You know, I can take care of things here.

Devon: Yeah, that might be a good idea. I don’t know if it’s the distance or what it’s been, but there’s been a little strain between us.

Lily: It’s definitely the distance. I mean, being that far apart for that long, I mean, it can wear on a relationship.

Devon: That’s probably what it is.

Lily: Oh, I got to meet billy in a few minutes. Do you want to join us?

Devon: No, no, not this time. Thank you, though. I’m gonna stick around and check on abby. I’m really ready to congratulate billy on his soul-searching journey yet.

Lily: Everything is going to be fine, okay? It’s all going to work out.

Devon: I hope so. I’d like to think that you’re right.

Lily: Alright, bye.

Devon: I’ll see you.

Lily: See you later.

Victoria: Adam and I were making a plan for the boys. And believe it or not, we agreed for once.

Adam: Yeah, it actually felt pretty good. Maybe you could take a page out of our playbook.

Billy: I won’t be taking any cues from you, thank you very much.

Victoria: Okay, I’m not gonna let you two ruin our almost-nice moment.

Billy: You’re right. This is about the kids. So please tell me, what are these plans that you put in place?

Victoria: Connor invited johnny to join him at a sleepover. So our son will be doing that instead of going to katie’s parade.

Billy: Well, that was very cool of connor. And I’m proud of johnny for not pushing him away.

Adam: Yeah, I think it’ll be good for both of them.

Billy: Yeah. I hope they have a good time.

Adam: Well, we should get going.

Billy: That’s a scary costume, by the way.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Alright, guys, ready to go?

Victoria: Love you, honey. Have fun.

Billy: See you, buddy. Be good, alright? So, I ran into chelsea at the park, after your run-in, apparently.

Victoria: Did she make a pitch for you to make a plea for her case to see johnny?

Billy: There was no plea of leniency. In fact, she was on board with the rules that you put into place.

Victoria: Oh, really? Well, I’m grateful for that.

Billy: Yeah. But I can’t shake the feeling that something is not right. There’s something about her demeanor that is…off.

Adam: I’ve been concerned about you lately. Are you sure everything’s alright?

Billy: I hope you’re taking care of yourself.

Adam: Nobody is wishing harm on you. Not sally. Not me.

Billy: Do you really believe that’s what’s best for you? ‘Cause I’m not sure.

Adam: When you came back to town, you were positive and looking towards the future. But now it seems like you’re backsliding. Since rey died, you’re not yourself.

Chloe: Billy starts turning on the abbott charm, and you lose perspective. You start to think everything means a little more than it does.

Billy: Uh, I’m sorry if I was giving off the wrong signals, but that was a mistake.

Chloe: What was I thinking? Ridiculous of me. Caring about you. Instead of saving you time and time again, I should have just let you crash and burn. Like you always do.

Victoria: The bottom line is that johnny and katie have had a really tough time lately. Now is not the time to do this.

Johnny: It’s my call, and I say I don’t ever want to talk about it again.

Connor: You were pregnant with johnny? And you gave him away as a baby? Just, like, handed him over to victoria and billy?

Adam: Burying the pain doesn’t make it go away.

Billy: Carrying around all this anxiety and fear not only affects your emotional well-being, but your entire body. That negativity will take over. Nope and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Hey, you.

Abby: I’m sorry I didn’t get to chat with you and lily more before. You never know when there’s going to be a rush or a little fire to put out around here with a difficult customer or a staff member that doesn’t show up.

Devon: Please, this is your job. You’re working. I understand that. And lily had to go meet billy anyway. It’s fine.

Abby: So, what’s up with you? Are you handing out candy tonight?

Devon: No. There’s never that many trick-or-treaters at the penthouse. But I do have some time if you’d like to chat.

Abby: Yeah, sure.

Devon: Yeah? I have one condition, though. You have to tell me what’s really bugging you.

Abby: I’m not hiding it well, huh?

Devon: You never do.

Abby: This is just not the halloween I envisioned. And it sounds petty to even care that I don’t get to dress up in a matching costume with chance when he could potentially be saving lives.

Devon: Well, you’re allowed to feel the way you feel.

Abby: I’m just — I’m frustrated. And I think I’m the most frustrated with myself. I-I mean, why do I care so much that chance is so dedicated and focused on his job? I mean, who gets irked by that? It — it really makes me feel like a bad person.

Devon: Come on, abby. First of all, you know better than to ever call yourself a bad person, ’cause you’re not. Sometimes we want the people we care about to be a certain way, and it’s hurtful when they can’t be that.

Billy: I know I’m biased, but katie’s by far the cutest werewolf I’ve ever seen in my life.

Victoria: By far. Are you kidding me? She was so cute. She left all of those other kids in the dust.

Billy: That was a good costume choice.

Victoria: Thank you. Well, I mean, she definitely stood out amongst all of the princesses and ballerinas.

[ Both chuckle ]

Billy: I love it. You know, I just can’t help but get caught up in their sense of fantasy and wonder. It’s — seeing them dressed up, it’s great.

Victoria: It’s nice. Really is. It’s the one night where they can be whatever they want to be.

Billy: Yeah. Let their imagination run wild without reality setting in.

Victoria: I know that today is a tough day for you, because it was delia’s favorite holiday.

Billy: Can’t help it. The memories of her keep flooding back. The girl I lost. But spending this time with johnny and katie, it — it helps.

Victoria: I wish johnny could’ve gone to the parade with us, but I know. I know he’s at that age where he doesn’t want to do kid stuff. You know, he’s been through so much lately. I think that maybe this was a good distraction for him.

Billy: No, I agree. I think it was good. Plus, we know that we’re going to deal with teenage angst at a certain point.

Victoria: Oh, god. Well, I hope that they’ll behave better than we did when they were teenagers.

Billy: Yeah. Well, if today was any indication, I would say we’re — we’re looking pretty good. I mean, that was good of him, hanging out with connor that way, them still being friends, not blaming connor for what’s going on with chelsea. I think we raised a pretty good kid there.

Victoria: Yeah. I’m trying to take it as a sign that maybe he’s making a peace with all of this. I just wish that he would want to talk to me about it.

Billy: He’s going to handle it his way. And until we see some red flags, we got to let him do that.

Victoria: That’s definitely the hardest part — standing back and letting them fly on their own when all I want to do is swoop in, take him back to the nest, and protect him.

Lily: Hello.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Hey.

Lily: I, um, saw katie’s costume. She looked amazing.

Billy: She did, right?

Lily: I’d be lying if i didn’t say that on halloween, I miss when the twins were that age, and I would dress them the same. But then they kind of caught on pretty quickly. They hated it.

Victoria: I would have done the exact same thing.

Billy: Yeah, no, me, too. Temptation that I could not deny.

Victoria: You know, getting them dressed for halloween does take a lot of work, though. I’m sure you’re glad you don’t have to squeeze that in anymore, given that you must be so busy at chancellor-winters these days.

Lily: Yeah, definitely. I mean, you know how it is.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: Actually, yes, i do. Ah. Duty calls, so… I’ll catch up with you later.

Billy: Okay.

Victoria: Happy halloween.

Billy: See you. So, are you not mad at me anymore for going to nate behind your back?

Lily: No, let’s, uh — let’s move on, especially today. Um, how do you want to finish our halloween today? Do you want to go to noah’s club for a drink?

Billy: Yes, I want to do that.

Lily: Okay.

Chelsea: Is connor okay?

Adam: He’s fine. I just dropped him off at beckett’s house for the party with, um —

Chelsea: With who?

Adam: He went to the party with johnny.

Chelsea: Well, good. That’s — that’s great. It means they’re getting along. Johnny’s not holding it against him, the news about me.

Adam: Yeah. Seems like they’re still able to be friends.

Chelsea: Well, that makes me happy. So, if connor is fine, what are you doing here?

Adam: I, um, thought maybe we could go grab a drink. Figured you might want to see some people instead of being cooped up in here. Okay? Don’t give me the “I’m under the weather” excuse, because I’m really not buying it, alright? We can go right upstairs to noah’s club, and we can get a quick cocktail.

Chelsea: Sounds like a great idea. I’m just going to clean up a little bit, and I’ll meet you there.

Victoria: “Eager to hear your response. Can you meet tonight?”

Adam: It’s like you’re latching onto something to fill a void.

Billy: I’m not trying to be harsh, but you’re overstepping.

Adam: This isn’t just a mood. Something is seriously wrong.

Victoria: Your goal is to weasel your way into my son’s life. Even after billy obviously told you he wants nothing to do with you.

Johnny: You are not my mom.

Chloe: I have tried, every way I know how, to help you navigate your emotional ups and downs. Meanwhile, all I get in return is snark and putdowns.

Billy: I can have all this equipment moved wherever you want — so you can continue the podcast without me.

Adam: Chelsea, listen to yourself. You can’t use connor as a life preserver. He’s a kid. Fixing his mom is not his job.

Connor: Mom is different now. She’d probably be happier if she had kept johnny.

Billy: Are you waiting to ambush johnny?

Victoria: You lost the right to be a part of johnny when you signed over your rights as his mother.

Billy: You’re not hearing me. The news threw him.

Johnny: You are the reason my world is turning upside-down.

Victoria: I’m sorry this isn’t what you want to hear, but we will be supporting our son’s choice. So if you happen to see him, don’t say anything. Don’t approach him. Just walk away.

Chelsea: Just stop! Stop! Stop!

Allie: You want to go talk to your uncle?

Noah: Yeah, I think I’ll pass. Hey, I’ll play host to whoever walks in next.

Allie: What if it’s someone even worse?

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Ah, hi, there.

Noah: See, that’s a much better option.

Allie: I’m going to go get us a drink.

Noah: Hey, guys. Welcome to the glam club.

Billy: Yeah, thanks for having us. We were hoping to sit down and grab a drink.

Noah: You know, I think I got a spot for that.

Lily: Oh, okay. Thanks.

Billy: Adam.

Adam: Billy.

Lily: Hi. This is perfect. Thank you. By the way, this club is a perfect addition to the grand phoenix.

Noah: I couldn’t ask for a better landlord. You guys come by anytime, okay?

Lily: Thank you.

Billy: Thank you.

Lily: [ Sighs ] So, by the way, I told devon finally that you’re leaving chancellor-winters.

Billy: I hope he wasn’t too ticked off at me.

Lily: Well, I mean, he wasn’t happy, but that’s to be expected, so… what is it?

Billy: Uh, it’s chelsea. And the last person that she should be spending any time with.

Lily: I mean, they have a long history, and she seems fine.

Billy: Yeah. I hope you’re right.

Chelsea: Did connor say anything about me after I left earlier? I hate that my actions have pushed him away, but I — I’m — I am determined to prove to him how much I love him.

Adam: I know that you will. But don’t keep beating yourself up about this.

Chelsea: You’re right. Being hard on myself isn’t going to do anyone any good. I need to focus on the future. Um, I actually told billy earlier, I, uh — I recognize now that it was a mistake, pushing to tell johnny the truth that I’m his biological mother. But, you know, that’s — that’s a big step for me, recognizing my misstep. And now, um, I just need to focus on making things right.

Adam: That is a big step. And I hope that you continue to take steps forward. You know, chelsea, I — I only want the best for you. And I know that you have felt in the past that it didn’t work. But maybe… counseling is something that you should consider now. You’re in a different place. You’re in a better place.

Chelsea: You want me to see a therapist. You’re right. I need help. I have to end this cycle of anxiety and depression. Did you know, some ordinary cold medicines can raise your blood pressure?

Adam: I’m so grateful that you are willing to see a professional. Things are going to get better for you, and that’s only going to improve your relationship with connor. Speaking of connor, he, um, really likes this beckett kit. When you stopped by the coffeehouse to see his costume, you could see how excited he was to go to this party. You know, being invited, that was a big deal for him. I mean, you remember being that age and trying to fit in. I guess in the end, no matter what age we are, we all want the same thing. Love and acceptance. I’m kind of nervous for him. I don’t know why I would be, though. Connor’s such a, uh, lovable kid.

Connor: Mom is different now. She’d probably be happier if she had kept johnny.

Johnny: You are not my mom.

Adam: It’s like you’re latching onto something to fill a void.

Adam: The, uh, the party’s going to be a mixture of younger and older kids, and he brought some regular clothes so he could change out of his costume.

Connor: You were pregnant with johnny? And you gave him away as a baby?

Adam: He’s a kid. Fixing his mom is not his job.

Victoria: Your goal is to weasel your way into my son’s life.

Billy: I’m not trying to be harsh, but you’re overstepping.

Adam: This isn’t just a mood. Something is seriously wrong.

Chloe: Things can’t go on this way.

Chelsea: Excuse me. Um, I have to use the restroom. I’ll be right back.

Chelsea: [ Hyperventilating ]

Adam: You can’t use connor as a life preserver.

Billy: Are you waiting to ambush johnny?

Adam: Burying the pain doesn’t make it go away.

Chloe: I should have just let you crash and burn. Like you always do.

Victoria: Just walk away. Understood?

Chelsea: Please. I can’t take it anymore. I just need the pain to go away.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Billy: I’m worried about chelsea. Not sure if you saw the way she bolted out of here.

Lily: No, I-I didn’t see, ’cause I was busy enjoying our dance, but I guess you were watching chelsea.

Billy: Well, she’s a mess.

Abby: What about the stakeout?

Chance: Oh, we, uh — we finished early.

Abby: And you chose to come here instead of home?

Victoria: You’re now the new ceo of newman media.

Devon: You’ve got to be kidding me.

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Nikki: Hey.

Victoria: I was just you.

Nikki: About nate, by any chance?

Victoria: How did you know?

Nikki: I just saw him out by the elevators, and when I said hello, he seemed so preoccupied, he barely even realized I was there.

Victoria: Yes, well, he does have a lot on his mind. I just offered him the ceo position at newman media.

Nikki: What?

Victoria: Well, he’s taking some time to consider it, but i hope to hear back from him soon.

Nikki: What about chancellor-winters? The two of you had a deal.

Victoria: Yes, I know. And I don’t really want to get into the gory details, but suffice it to say, the ipo is on hold and nate’s out of a job.

Nikki: Things blew up with his family, didn’t they? They must have figured out that he was working with you to help newman become the majority shareholder.

Victoria: Yes, they are aware that he was feeding information to a ceo and they know what his end game was, but nate refused to name names, so they don’t know that it was me.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Well, that’s why he was acting this way. He’s probably feeling the consequences of his actions. I mean, that can’t be easy. But he made his choice.

Victoria: And I made mine.

Nikki: Yes. So it would seem.

Victoria: You know, nate could have exposed me at any time, but he chose not to do that kind of loyalty is very rare these days.

Nikki: So, as his reward, you’re going to bring him on here in a top-level executive position?

Victoria: I just think that he deserves a fresh start. And, yes, I know. I know that he doesn’t have a lot of business experience, but his work at chancellor-winters involved entertainment. It involved media. And I think that he is up for the challenge.

Nikki: Well, it sounds like you have a lot of faith in him.

Victoria: Yes, nate is very sharp. He’s an analytical thinker. He doesn’t always go for the obvious answer. He and I — we have an excellent rapport, and I think he’d be a great fit.

Nikki: What if he turns you down?

Victoria: Well, then I have a whole list of other candidates, all of whom would do a much better job than the current head of newman media.

Nikki: Mm. So sally’s out either way.

Victoria: Her time with us is coming to an end.

Sally: So, “we need to talk” usually means someone’s about to tell you something that you’re not gonna like, especially when they insist on moving to a more private area to have the conversation. Feel free to tell me that I’m wrong ’cause that does happen on rare occasions.

Nick: I wish I could. Uh, I have some difficult news to tell you.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ] I kind of figured.

Nick: So, uh… I guess, uh…

[ Exhales sharply ]

Sally: Just hit me.

Nick: Okay. Uh, newman enterprises has decided to replace you and chloe at newman media.

Kyle: Alright, you two, smile.

Summer: Smile!

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] Ahh. Alright, one more, but silly faces this time.

[ Laughter ] Oh, that’s awesome.

Summer: Here, give me a high five. Yes!

Kyle: Oh, you two are the cutest.

Summer: [ Laughs ] Ever since linda brought you here, I have not been able to stop smiling.

Kyle: Me neither. We’re so happy you’re here. We missed you, harrison.

Summer: So much.

Kyle: And we have a ton of fun things planned for the next couple days — boat rides, snorkeling.

Summer: That’s right, and a little hike in the rainforest. Do you know what a rainforest is?

Harrison: Huh-unh.

Summer: It’s this magical place with tons of trees, like we read about in your fairy tales. And it also has all of these animals that you can’t find anyplace else in the world.

Kyle: Wait till you see the birds. They come in every color. It’s totally awesome.

Summer: I have a feeling you’re gonna to want to take one home as a pet, but I don’t think that grandpa jack would like that very much.

Kyle: That’s okay. It’ll make it even more special since we can only visit them here. And I’ll take tons of photos.

Summer: And I’m gonna take tons of photos of the three of us so we can remember every special moment on this vacation.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. First things first. Time to hit that beach that’s right outside our door.

Summer: Ooh! Are you ready?

Harrison: Yeah!

Kyle: Let’s do it!

Summer: Yes!

[ Laughs ]

Kyle: Grab this.

Summer: Alright.

Kyle: Come on.

Summer: Let’s go.

Chelsea: Hey. Chloe, it’s me. Um, I-I hope I’m not catching you at a bad time. I was seeing if you wanted to get together. Oh. Oh, you’re away with the kids. That’s — I — yeah, I didn’t know. That’s great. No, no, no. No. Go. Go. Have fun. Okay. Bye.

[ Sighs ]

[ Keys jangle ] If you still have symptoms of moderate

Kyle: What? A little rain? It’s a monsoon out there.

Summer: Oh, my god, I think you’re exaggerating just a wee bit.

Kyle: Just as we walk out to the beach, the skies open up. Figures, right?

Summer: Ah, well, we are in the tropics. It showers like this all the time. I’m sure it’ll clear up soon and we can get back out there and jump in the ocean and bury you in the sand and build a castle on top.

Kyle: Ooh, I don’t know. That’s a pretty ambitious plan.

[ Laughter ]

Summer: In the meantime, there’s plenty we can do right here in the villa. Right?

Kyle: Sure is. Um…what should we do first? You want to play cards or read each other a story?

Summer: I have a much better idea.

Kyle: Oh! Ohh. I think I know what you’re talking about. Summer and I put together a little surprise for you, and we were gonna give it to you later, but we think now is the perfect time.

Summer: It sure is.

Kyle: Oh. And even though we’re not in genoa city, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate…halloween!

Summer: Ooh! You know what to say, right?

Harrison: Trick or treat!

Summer: [ Laughs ] Exactly.

Kyle: There you go, buddy. It’s just like the one you would have gotten at home.

Summer: And look — it’s not just candy in there. There’s toys, too.

Kyle: Ooh. Are those…?

Summer: Vampires teeth. Num, num, num, num, num! I’m gonna eat you up!

[ Laughter ] And look — there’s stickers and bubbles.

Kyle: Ooh, I bet you want to show all this stuff to zippy the fox.

Harrison: I love these things.

Kyle: I know. Why don’t you go show zippy the fox and then we’ll have a snack and then afterwards you canso candy when we play games.

Harrison: Yay.

Kyle: Yeah? Go show him.

Summer: Go show him.

Kyle: Go show him.

Summer: Ahh. I think your idea was a hit.

Kyle: Our idea. Yeah. I think he liked it.

Summer: [ Sighs ] Next year he can dress up and we’ll take him trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

Kyle: Thank you.

Summer: For what?

Kyle: Making this even more perfect. I know it’s not the honeymoon most people would want, but it’s exactly the one for us.

Nikki: I’ve always been fond of nate. So, if you think he’s the right person for the job, I will defer to you.

Victoria: I appreciate that.

Nikki: I’m sure your father will be pleased, as well. He’s never been a fan of sally’S.

Victoria: Well, I’m gonna touch base with dad, but I’m confident he’ll be on board for the change.

Nikki: And what about nicholas? He has always been a bit of an advocate for her in the past.

Victoria: Mm-hmm, if that’s what you want to call it.

Nikki: I hope this won’t become a point of contention between you two.

Victoria: When I told nicholas, he fought me on it. But ultimately, he’s agreed with my decision. As a matter of fact, he’s with her right now breaking the news.

Nikki: Whose idea was that?

Victoria: His. It would have been much quicker and cleaner if I’d handled it, but I suppose I understand why he wanted to do it personally.

Nikki: Really? Why?

Victoria: Because — how shall I put this? — I believe that their relationship is no longer strictly professional.

Nikki: What? Are you kidding me? Nicholas and sally? How long has this been going on?

Victoria: Seems pretty recent.

Nikki: Please tell me it’s not serious.

Victoria: I have no clue, mother.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure you have asked.

Victoria: Whenever I’ve brought it up, he’s danced around the subject. But he has not denied that there’s a connection, so that makes me think that my suspicions are right on target.

Nikki: Of all the women out there…

Victoria: I know.

Nikki: Did he not stop to think about how complicated it would be to be involved with sally spectra?

Victoria: Mm. Because of summer, you mean.

Nikki: Well, that should have been enough to make him think twice, but there are so many reasons. Her history with adam. Her history with jack. She does get around.

Victoria: I don’t know if his attraction is in spite of her checkered past or because of it. And I’m not gonna speculate. I just hope that my coo is carrying out the mission that he volunteered for.

Nikki: Let’s just hope that she is mature enough to take this news with a modicum of grace because I would hate to see her make things more difficult for nicholas than they already are.

Sally: I just need a second.

Nick: Yeah. Take as long as you want. I’m not going anywhere.

Sally: I just have one question.

Nick: Ask me anything.

Sally: Is this coming from victoria? Or you?

Nick: This is a management decision. But off the record, obviously, this is victoria’s call.

Sally: So I suppose there’d be no point in asking to speak with her?

Nick: No. She’s already got somebody in mind to take your position.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

[ Scoffs ] I mean, I-I shouldn’t be so stunned. I know that she was willing to give me a shot, but she’s never been enthusiastic about me being in charge of newman media. You know, when I screwed up at the marketing summit, I thought maybe my apology and everything I’d done since then had smoothed things over, but I guess I’ve just been living on borrowed time.

Nick: I was really hoping this wouldn’t happen, but vick’s got a game plan, and when she makes up her mind about something, it’s almost impossible to get her to change it. But I tried many times.

Victoria: You did?

Nick: Yeah, sally. I’m really opposed to this. I fought like hell for you.

Sally: Well, that means more than you could possibly know.

Nick: I feel terrible about this. I can only imagine what you’re going through.

Sally: I was told that it was a trial run, no guarantees.

Nick: Still, you got to be disappointed.

Sally: Well, yeah, I am. But I will be okay.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Yeah?

Sally: Yeah. I mean, this is how the corporate world works. I can take it. My — my whole life, I’ve had to roll with the punches, and this is nothing compared to some of the stuff I’ve had to deal with.

Nick: That’s a good way to look at it.

Sally: And, plus, I’m proud of what I achieved. I did a damn good job, and i surpassed a lot of people’s expectations.

Nick: Hell, yeah, you did.

Sally: I mean, I was a ceo of a media company. I had the actual title. That is on my résumé, and nobody can take that away from me.

Nick: No, they can’T.

Sally: [ Sighs ] But it just kills me that chloe is being cut loose, too. She shouldn’t be fired just because I’m the one that hired her.

Nick: Yeah, she was an excellent second in command. I’m really sorry that I couldn’t be more persuasive with my sister. Um, I’ll do anything I can to get you a new position, and you can obviously take chloe along with you, if that’s what you’d like.

Sally: Well, thanks, nick. I really appreciate that, but I — I’ll figure things out. You shouldn’t feel responsible at all for what happened or like you owe me anything.

Nick: That’s not what I’m offering. I know this is coming at a bad time for you emotionally. And, uh…

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

Nick: That’s a whole other conversation.

Sally: Yeah. I will figure that out, too. I-I promise.

Victoria: I’m sure that nicholas can handle sally, however she reacts to being let go. I mean, it’s not like she can blow up at him. It wasn’t his call. And it’s not like he can change anything for her.

Nikki: Sounds like you’ve thought this through.

Victoria: As for the other aspects, of course I have my own opinion, but nicholas is a grown man. He can see whomever he wants. And in meantime, I have a company to run and I have my own personal life to think about.

Nikki: I assume you’re referring to the situation between johnny and chelsea. How is he doing?

Victoria: It’s been a real struggle, mom. I mean, he’s still trying to process the fact that she’s his biological mother. But at least I think he’s starting to come to terms with things.

Nikki: And what does he say about her?

Victoria: Not much. He doesn’t want to talk about her. He doesn’t want to see her, and I can’t blame him [Sighs] Because I feel the exact same way.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]

Phyllis: Hey, chelsea. How you doing? It’s been a while for us.

Chelsea: Yes. Good. I’m good. How are you?

Phyllis: I’m so great.

[ Sighs ] I have to see diane jenkins’ face every single day, but besides that, terrific. I guess that’s what happens, you know, when your kids are married and you work in the same office. Wait. You left fenmore’S. And you turned down the marchetti gig. I know why.

Chelsea: You do?

Phyllis: Yeah. You had to get out. I understand. It’s for the best.

Chelsea: Best for me or best for everybody else because I’m gone? What exactly do you mean by that, phyllis?

Kyle: Ugh, you beat us twice, harrison. Twice!

Summer: Ugh! The humiliation. We may never live it down.

Kyle: Well, it’s a good thing the sun came out so we can put that game away.

Summer: Was that a yawn that I just saw?

Kyle: Uh-oh. You tired, buddy? You want to take a little snooze? No? I get it. Nap time can wait. You want to play in that big blue ocean and on the sand. You know what? Since it just rained, we might see something extra special.

Summer: Ooh. A rainbow. They’re huge down here.

Kyle: Let’s go see if we can find one.

Summer: Yeah. Let’s go.

Kyle: Yeah. Come on. I’ll grab the toys. Let’s go.

Summer: Whoo!

Victoria: Okay, well, you know, I need to take off a little bit early. I’m meeting up with johnny and we’re gonna grab a bite to eat and then we’re heading to walnut grove to watch katie in her halloween parade.

Nikki: Oh, well, that sounds nice. Little bit of fun and normalcy for a change.

Victoria: Normalcy? What is that?

[ Both laugh ]

Nikki: What are your plans for after the parade?

Victoria: Um, well, katie’s been invited over to her best friend’s house, so johnny and i will go home, and I’m gonna unplug from work. We’re just gonna spend a little one-on-one time together.

Nikki: Are you going to talk about chelsea?

Victoria: If he wants to, then, yeah, we will. But he’s been pretty emphatic about shutting that door, and I’m definitely not gonna force anything.

Nikki: I think that’s a good idea.

Victoria: My goal is to just make him feel like he’s safe and secure and that he knows that I’m always gonna be there for him and that I’m his mother.

Nikki: Darling, I’m sure he knows that deep down. I’m just sorry that you even have to make a point of it.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, the way that chelsea has handled things has been less than ideal. There’s been a lot of damage done, and I have to be the one to repair it.

Nikki: Well, I hate the toll this is taking on you and my grandson. If you need anything, your family is here for you.

Victoria: Thank you, mom. You know, billy and I — we’re doing everything that we can for johnny, but it’s good to know that we have everybody around us to love and support us. It makes all the difference in the world.

Nikki: Oh, of course. I love you, baby.

Victoria: Thank you.

Phyllis: You leaving marchetti — it’s their loss, not yours. I think you’re really good at your job. I think you have a good eye. If you’re not happy, then you’re just not happy listen. It doesn’t matter if it looks like a great opportunity to everyone else in the world. If it’s not right for you, it’s not right. It’s like me selling my hotel. I mean, everything that I worked for, selling it all to work with my daughter — it’s gratifying.

Chelsea: That’s wonderful.

Phyllis: Yeah. There’s nothing like working side by side with your child.

Chelsea: I bet, phyllis.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Chelsea: I bet. Well… um, as nice as it’s been catching up, uh, I have a bunch of errands to run. And I’m sure with your new busy job, you’ve got a full plate.

Phyllis: Oh, the only thing i have on my plate is the take-out I’m about to get.

Chelsea: Well, don’t let me keep you.

Phyllis: Those podcasts that you were doing with billy — those were really good. I mean, he was kind of all over the place, but you were the voice of reason. You were great, funny, really engaging.

Chelsea: Oh, that’s — thank you.

Phyllis: Yeah. Um, you complemented each other, I think. You know? They seemed like they’d be a success. Why did you stop doing them?

Chelsea: You know, I think it was just time to move on from that, as well.

Phyllis: You’re bouncing around a lot from job to job, chelsea. I think you’re gonna find something that’s the right fit very soon.

Chelsea: Thanks, phyllis. Here’s hoping. Happy halloween.

Phyllis: Yeah, happy halloween. This is gloria.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Even though some

things are far away,

Kyle: Harrison asleep?

Summer: Yeah, he zonked out the second his head hit the pillow. Jumping over those waves must have really tuckered the little guy out.

Kyle: He’s had a long day. Jet took off a 7:00 A.M., Five-hour flight, the car ride here from the airport. That’s a lot of travel for anyone.

Summer: Yeah. Hopefully he’ll be rested up by tomorrow.

Kyle: Oh, knowing our boy, he’ll be raring to go at 5:00 A.M.

Summer: [ Chuckles ] I would expect nothing less.

Kyle: So, what’s next on our agenda?

Summer: I have an idea or two.

Kyle: Oh. I like where your head is at. We should — we should have some naptime for ourselves.

Summer: Yeah, and I’m so tired that I don’t even think I’m gonna bother putting my pajamas on.

Kyle: Oh, how efficient of you. We should make the most out of this alone time.

Summer: Although I do like it when you take things slowly.

Kyle: Mm. Your wish is my command.

Summer: Oh, yeah? ‘Cause I could — I could come up with a list of things that I’d like you to do, like… a massage. I’ve got this…

Kyle: Oh.

Summer: …Knot in between my shoulders.

Kyle: Oh. Okay.

Summer: Mmm.

Kyle: Is that the spot?

Summer: It’s a little lower.

Kyle: Oh.

Summer: [ Inhales deeply ]

Kyle: [ Smooches ]

Summer: Yeah. Right there.

Kyle: Mmm.

Harrison: Zippy woke me up!

Kyle: Ohh, no. Bad zippy! Ugh!

Summer: [ Laughs ] Come up here with us.

Harrison: Whee!

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Come here. Ohh, yes!

Chelsea: Johnny. Hi. How are you?

Victoria: What’s going on here?

Nick: Is vick around?

Nikki: Oh, she left early. You just missed her.

Nick: Do you know where I was just now?

Nikki: Your sister filled me in.

Nick: Well, I just came by to tell her I’ve done what she’s asked me to do. But I do not support this plan. I think firing sally is a mistake, full stop.

Nikki: Mm.

Nick: You’re not saying anything. You must be on victoria’s side on this.

Nikki: I don’t take sides, nicholas. Whether we agree or disagree, we’re all on the same team.

Nick: But do you condone what she’s doing, firing sally and giving nate her job?

Nikki: Well, I found it to be a bit abrupt. But it is her decision to make. And I am not as personally invested as you are.

Nick: And that means what?

Nikki: Your association with sally outside of work. Or are you going to tell me that there isn’t one?

Nick: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Well, I’m guessing victoria shared her thoughts about that with you. She shouldn’t have done that because it has nothing to do with this and, frankly, it’s none of her business.

Nikki: Well, normally it wouldn’t be my business, either, but this isn’t just any woman we’re talking about.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ]

Sally: What more do I have to do to prove myself? Thank you.

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Sighing ] Hey, chloe. I know you’re out of town and you are officially unreachable.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry for busting in on your family time, but you know that thing that we are always afraid is going to happen? Well, it happened. Call me.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Hey, sally.

[ Clears throat ]

Sally: Hey yourself.

Phyllis: Bad day?

Sally: Why would you presume anything’s wrong?

Phyllis: I overheard your conversation just now. You do look like somebody who got rocks instead of candy in your trick-or-treat bag, so… problems at newman media? Ah, that’s too bad.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Summer: So what do you think about costa rica so far? Are you having fun?

Harrison: Can we live here?

Kyle: Oh, I think it’s pretty great, too, but it’s not home, buddy.

Summer: Yeah, there’s no grandpa jack or dee dee or mrs. Martinez.

Kyle: I think you’ll miss her cookies, not to mention all your friends. And it’s gonna be winter in genoa city soon, so we’ll be able to build a snowmen, and i can teach you how to ice skate.

Summer: Ooh, that’s so fun.

Kyle: Ooh, there’s really nothing better. Not even a forest full of critters or a beautiful beach.

Summer: Yeah, your dad is right.

Harrison: Like zippy!

Summer: Yeah, like zippy.

Kyle: Just like zippy, yeah.

Summer: Your dad’s right. We can always visit here, but you wouldn’t really want to live here, would you?

Harrison: As long as we’re together forever.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] Summer and I want the exact same thing.

Harrison: [ Roars ]

[ Laughter ]

Phyllis: Is this seat taken?

Sally: You know, why crowd yourself, phyllis? Why don’t you take that seat over there? Or better yet, actually, at A…

Phyllis: I’ll take that as a “yes.”

Sally: …Table ’cause there’s more elbow room.

Phyllis: Okay. We’ll talk while I wait for my food.

Sally: Must we?

Phyllis: Can I buy you a drink? Want one of those spicy martinis like they have?

Sally: I think I’ll pass.

Phyllis: Oh. More of a shot and beer girl? Maybe a little tequila? Or a sweet drink that has the umbrella in it and those big pineapple chunks that you could eat for a meal?

Sally: You know, what is your problem?

Phyllis: Excuse me?

Sally: Just give it a rest. It’s the middle of the day.

Phyllis: I wanted to buy you a drink. I thought you could use one.

Sally: I don’t need a damn drink, okay? I’m good.

Phyllis: Well, I disagree with that. I heard you. You sounded upset when you were talking to chloe and leaving a message for her, whatever you were doing. I mean, I don’t know. And can I guess? Maybe you’re having problems at work? Hey, it happens to the best of us, and if it’s any consolation, we’ve all gone through it.

Sally: Mm. Why? ‘Cause every business comes with its own set of challen–

Phyllis: Can I be frank? I’m not surprised you’re in trouble.

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

Nikki: We can’t help who we’re drawn to, but we can control what we do with those feelings.

Nick: Mom, please. I’m just — I’m not in the mood for a lecture.

Nikki: No, no lecture. I am just trying to understand. Did you not think about how summer would react?

Nick: Yeah, I know. Sally’s not her favorite person. And, yes, we have talked about it.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure in addition to her distaste for sally that she was concerned about the ramifications about adam. And, frankly, so am I. Your father’s not gonna be happy about this, either, the way he detests her.

Nick: That’s his problem.

Nikki: You know, what is it that you and adam become interested in the same women time and time again? I don’t understand it. And did you not stop to think that this would give adam a reason to resent you? Or did you think about that and you just didn’t care?

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Johnny: Yeah, I’d like to know that, too. Why are you here? Were you, like, following me?

Chelsea: No, no. Absolutely not. I-I happened to be here when you showed up. It was nothing I had planned. I want to go.

Victoria: Meet me at crimson lights, alright? And leave your phone on. I’ll be there shortly. I need to talk to chelsea alone.

Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Nick: I have no desire to go out of my way to create conflict with adam, but I’m gonna live my life without worrying about his feelings. And why shouldn’t I? It’s not like he worries about anyone else’S.

Nikki: I would think you would hold yourself to a higher standard than, “oh, if it’s okay for somebody else, it’s okay for me.”

Nick: I didn’t mean it like that. You’re right. I was just venting.

Nikki: I see.

Nick: I’m not worried about adam, alright? My concern is for sally. She doesn’t deserve to be let go. Both she and chloe have done an amazing job. Now, if vick wants to bring nate on because she values his loyalty to her, fine. Why does it have to come at sally’s expense? Sally has done nothing but work her tail off and prove her worth around here. Both she and chloe deserve more than this. And, frankly, so does newman media.

Nikki: So, you have concerns about nate taking over that division.

Nick: Vick’s objection to sally this whole time has been her lack of experience. Well, guess what. Nate has even less. If we put him in charge, is that in the best interests of the company? I can’t get vick to think along these lines. She’s dug her heels in. There isn’t anything I can do to get her to change her mind.

Nikki: I know you’re upset, but it should give you some comfort to know that sally doesn’t let anything hold her back. She’s a survivor. So, no matter what happens with this situation, she will land on her feet.

Sally: My track record speaks for itself.

Phyllis: Well, it’s a short track, and let’s be honest — it was kind of teed up for you before you got there.

Sally: Okay, whatever.

Phyllis: You weren’t qualified for the job, sally. You just weren’T. And now you’re having problems. And you only got it because your ex-boyfriend got it for you. And look how that turned out.

Sally: You know what, phyllis? Why don’t you get out of my face before things get ugly?

Phyllis: Well [Sighs] I’m just stating the facts. I mean, you were with adam, and then that all blew up in your face. And here you sit alone. I mean, you just don’t have anybody to blame but yourself.

Sally: Oh, there is so much i could say right now, and it would be so gratifying. But I won’T.

Phyllis: Okay, well, say it. I mean, I could hear anything. Don’t leave me hanging.

Sally: Uh, nope, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do because, unlike you, I am a class act who knows when to shut up and walk away.

Chelsea: Victoria, I swear i am telling you the truth. It was not some kind of ambush.

Victoria: I realize that. You have no idea where johnny and I were meeting. You and I haven’t spoken about him recently. Billy’s been our intermediary. But I think that it’s time that I’m very clear with you.

Chelsea: I’m listening.

Victoria: You know, I’ll always be grateful to you for bringing johnny into the world. But as you just saw, he’s having a really hard time coping with the news that you’re his biological mother. You need to stop exacerbating his distress and his confusion.

Chelsea: I would never want to cause that boy any pain. I just wanted him to know the truth, to understand who I am to him.

Victoria: Yes, well, unfortunately, you didn’t leave it at that. You keep pushing for more of a relationship with him. Billy and I told you that it would be up to johnny to decide how he wanted to proceed, and he’s made his choice very clear. Look, I’m really sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but we’re gonna be supporting our son’s choice. So, if you happen to run into him again, please don’t say anything to him. Don’t approach him. Just walk away. Understood? Thank you for not making this any harder than it needs to be. It’s reassuring that we can all be on the same page.
