Young & The Restless Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Your assistant told me you were covering for sharon.

Nick: Yeah. I’m just checking on a few things and I’m gonna get the staff up to speed, then I’m gonna head out to the ranch and check on sharon and faith.

Nikki: Have you calmed down since you went at it with your father?

Nick: Went at it, mom? Hardly. I’m just sick of dad’s fixation with sally. Not with cameron in town and making all these threats. Right now, sharon’s making sure that faith gets out of town herself and I think it’s breaking sharon’s heart.

Nikki: Honey, you really need to do something about that hand. It could be broken.

Nick: Will you leave me alone about my hand, mom?

[ Nick sighs ]

[ Cameron groans ]

Cameron: It– it’s kind of sweet how protective you are of your ex-wife. A little sad because she no longer wants or loves you, but super sweet.

Nick: You are gonna stay away from sharon and faith, and you will be gone by the morning

Cameron: Or what?

Nick: You don’t wanna find out.

[ Cameron chuckles ]

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Did you see dominic with that little hand drum?

Devon: I did.

[ Abby laughing ] It’s actually starting to sound like music.

Abby: Almost. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Devon: Did you see that picture that tucker sent earlier of dominic in class waving his little wand around, trying out conducting? It’s the cutest thing in the world.

Abby: So cute. I think we might be a little bit biased though.

Devon: Oh, well. Definitely biased for sure.

Abby: I don’t know, I just, I can’t stop wondering.

Devon: Hm.

Abby: Tucker hasn’t missed a single music class and that is not easy on the eardrums. I mean, is he really just trying to prove to our family that he wants to be a part of all of this? Or is this some sort of angle that he’s using? Look, I know. I know it feels like I’m being negative and I should just be grateful that he’s doting on his grandson, but.

Devon: I know. He’s– he’s tucker and he is not the most trustworthy guy in the world.

Abby: Especially where my mom is concerned.

Devon: Yeah. Well, maybe it’s time that I put my plan into action.

Ashley: Right?

Tucker: Right.

Ashley: Cheers to us.

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Hmm. We have to tell abby and devon about our engagement before they hear about it from somebody else, okay?

Tucker: Okay. How about, “hey, abby and devon, we’re engaged. For real this time.”

Ashley: They’re not gonna be happy about it.

Tucker: Who cares?

Ashley: Well, I care. They were very upset when they found out you were moving in with me. Remember that?

[ Phone chiming ] Oh.

Tucker: Ah! Speak of the devil.

Ashley: Wow.

Tucker: Talk about timing.

Ashley: “Society in 30. Early dinner with devon and me. My treat.” Is that what you got?

Tucker: That’s what I got.

Ashley: Oh.

Tucker: That forces the issue, doesn’t it?

Ashley: Yes. Do we accept?

Tucker: What do we have to lose?

Ashley: The timing is interesting though, don’t you think? Is this a coincidence?

Tucker: It could be that they found out about the engagement and wanna stop the wedding. But it’s not up to them, is it?

Ashley: I can’t take any more fighting, honestly. There’s so much on my plate with this jack and diane thing. I can’t take it.

Tucker: Well, okay. What are you gonna do if they do object? You gonna put the wedding on hold indefinitely?

Jack: Hmm. A preemptive promotion, huh?

Diane: Well, you can’t deny that kicking me up the corporate ladder would send a powerful message to ashley and tucker.

Jack: It might also set off world war iii.

Diane: Well, your sister is to blame for that. What? Threatening to oust you from jabot as long as I’m in the picture?

Jack: Have you given any thought to what position might be suitable?

Diane: Well, my number one requirement is I wanna work closely with my fiancé.

Jack: Ooh, I like that.

Diane: Hmm. But since you asked, I understand that our chief talent officer is set to retire at the end of the month.

Jack: Ha! That’s right. Brenda is retiring. Any key hires go through her desk.

Diane: Yes. It’s a key position. And I know that hr has been interviewing possible candidates, but they’ve yet to fill the position. I would like to throw my hat in the ring if you think that–

Jack: You had me at your fiancé. And yeah, the more I think about it, the more that’s a perfect job for you. I can’t think of anyone shrewder at reading people.

Diane: So you’ll recommend me?

Jack: After everything you have been through in the last few months, feeling like you had no future, I want you to dream big. And yes, I can make this happen.

Diane: Good. Hmm.

Summer: Thanks for meeting me.

Daniel: Uh, how bad did it get after kyle saw mom in the hotel room? I mean, I stayed with her for a little while after I was half expecting to hear sirens and have a swat team show up at the door.

Summer: Well, keep listening.

Daniel: Are you saying kyle turned her in?

Summer: He found out that I knew where she was all this time and that I didn’t say anything.

Daniel: Oh, god. Summer, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.

Summer: I don’t know how we come back from this, but honestly, the only thing that I could think about in that moment was saving mom. So she and I did the only thing that we could.

Chance: All right. Hotel security’s gonna pull the surveillance footage for me.

Kyle: Oh, it’s not like they’ll find anything. Phyllis knows all about cameras and how to avoid ’em. It’s not like she was on her own either.

Chance: You know that’s twice now, man. You’ve come pretty close to incriminating your wife. Is there something you wanna tell me?

Kyle: I hate this. That’s what I wanna tell you.

Chance: Yeah, you’re in a, uh, tough spot, man. I get it.

Kyle: Okay. If there was any other way, but the truth has to come out. Summer has known where phyllis was for weeks. I can only assume she helped her escape. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Ashley: We can’t be sure if abby and devon even know that we’re engaged, so let’s just cross that bridge when we get to it.

Tucker: Let’S. Very reasonable.

Ashley: Yeah. Then again, knowing abby, if she knew, she would definitely voice her opinion because she’s not shy, if you haven’t noticed.

Tucker: I have. So, you think this is just a coincidence? Just a friendly invitation for the four of us to get together?

Ashley: Maybe. We had a nice time when the four of us ended up at neil’s lounge, right? Wasn’t that kind of okay? Wasn’t it, right? It sounds like fun, maybe, to do this.

Tucker: Hey, and I love fun things, man. I love ’em a lot more than things that aren’t fun.

Ashley: Me too.

Tucker: I know.

Ashley: Okay. Here we go. Oh, “we…”

Tucker: “We–”

Ashley: “…Would be delighted.”

Tucker: “We’d be delighted.” Ugh! That’s brilliant.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: You know, it’s possible they won’t believe a word of it, or at least they’ll be suspicious.

Ashley: Yeah. Or both. Because we did tell them about, you know, the fact that we were considering a fake engagement purely for shock value.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: I think the best thing to do is just be open and honest about both motives, right?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: You know that us being married just strengthens us in case diane becomes a problem at jabot. Although that has to be private information, you can’t tell anybody.

Tucker: Devil’s advocate though. Are we being, uh, unfair to abby by putting her in the middle of all this and making her keep up our pretense with the rest of the family?

Ashley: Honestly, she’s gonna wind up there anyway if diane getting kicked out of jabot becomes an issue with the board. Thankfully, my daughter’s very adept at straddling the fence because she’s both an abbott and a newman. But you know what? Honestly, she’s very much her own person, so she’s not gonna just blindly follow my lead. I guess tonight, we’re gonna find out whether or not I have her support, huh?

Tucker: Yes, we are.

Ashley: Okay. Fingers crossed.

Tucker: Fingers crossed.

Devon: All right. Louise is all settled in with dominic.

Abby: Excellent.

Devon: Yeah. Um, hey, you know that the original plan was just for me to spend one-on-one time with tucker to find out where his head’s at with your mom, right?

Abby: Yeah, but it won’t hurt to have some backup, right? I mean, you shouldn’t have to subject yourself to that all alone.

Devon: No. I mean, it’s not torture to hang out with the guy. He’s got a couple good qualities.

Abby: Okay. If you say so.

Devon: It’s true. The hard part comes when he shows his true colors and then you have to question everything he says or does.

Abby: Yes, that part would be torture, having to second guess everything your father says. But tonight, you won’t have to be doing it alone. I will be there. You will have a second pair of eyes and ears to zero in on tucker. We won’t let him slip anything past us.

Daniel: So mom’s a fugitive again out there racking up more crimes. What the hell is wrong with her?

Summer: She offered to turn herself in to save my marriage, but I told her no.

Daniel: Why would you do that?

Summer: Because she needs more time to figure this out.

Daniel: Summer, that was a mistake. We need to be handling this out in the open, not encouraging her to run and hide from the cops. I mean, it’s just making things worse for all of us.

Summer: I wasn’t about to let her sacrifice her freedom for my– chance.

Daniel: Chance at what?

Chance: I’m done playing games. Where’s phyllis?

Nick: Sorry, mom. I– I don’t mean to snap at you. I’m not upset with you. I’m just frustrated.

Nikki: It’s okay. So, did punching the wall solve anything?

Nick: You know, I think you’ve asked me that like a hundred times since I was six.

Nikki: And I’ll keep asking you that until you give me the right answer.

Nick: I don’t know. I don’t know if punching the wall solved anything, but it may have bought us some time.

Nikki: Is there an update? Is cameron still in town?

Nick: I haven’t heard anything, mom, so I have to assume he is still here.

Nikki: And you will let the police and your father’s security team deal with it, right?

Nick: Yeah. Whatever works.

Nikki: Darling, I understand that you’re worried. You wanna protect your family, but please don’t forget how dangerous it got last time.

Nick: Mom–

Nikki: Cameron kirsten is an animal. He needs to be handled by professionals. If he can hurt you, he will, and he will be trying to do major damage.

Cameron: Genoa city P.D.? I’d like to report an assault. Around here, we like to keep things simple and honest.

Ashley: You’re very relaxed.

Tucker: I’m very relaxed.

Ashley: They’re here.

Tucker: Uh-oh.

Abby: Hi. Oh, thank you.

Tucker: Hi. How you doing?

Abby: Hi. How are you?

Devon: Hey, you two.

Abby: Mom!

Devon: What’s going on?

Tucker: Hey, son. How’re you?

Abby: You look beautiful.

Ashley: Oh, my gosh.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hi, ashley. How are you?

Ashley: Good. Really good to see you.

Devon: You look beautiful.

Ashley: Oh, thank you.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Ashley: Woo!

Abby: Woo! Well, um, thank you for sending that picture of dominic at his music class.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Devon: Boy’s a natural

Tucker: Yeah. And not only at the drums. Did you see the footage of him conducting?

Abby: I loved it. Yeah.

Tucker: He’s a natural born leader, so it’s in the genes.

Ashley: Right. Yeah.

[ All laughing ]

Abby: Oh, well, um, let me just tell you, the chef has outdone herself this evening. Um, there is a duck and scallop special that is out of this world.

Tucker: A duck and scallop together special. So it’s like a duck stuff– stuffed with scallops?

Abby: Or separately, you know. However you like it.

Tucker: Okay.

Devon: Should we get wine for the table or you guys want cocktails? What do you think?

Tucker: Yes.

Abby: Oh, why limit ourselves?

Devon: That’s why I love you.

Abby: Ooh.

Ashley: Okay. Stop. Anyway, we were both so happy that you invited us now because we have such great news.

Devon: Really?

Ashley: Yeah.

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: We’re getting married.

[ Tucker chuckling nervously ]

Tucker: Don’t everyone talk at once.

Devon: Yeah. No. I– I don’t know if we believe you, that’s all.

[ Laughing ]

Abby: I mean, is– is this real or is this for–

Tucker: It’s–

Abby: Diane and uncle jack’s benefit?

Tucker: It’s very real. And the wedding is going to happen very soon.

Ashley: Yeah.

Diane: How about to new opportunities?

Jack: How about to our new life together with lots of opportunities?

Diane: Hmm. No matter what ashley says.

[ Both laughing ]

Kyle: Where’s summer? Is she here? I need to talk to her.

Jack: No, I haven’t seen her.

Diane: Neither have I.

Jack: Hey, what’s wrong? What’s going on?

Kyle: I can handle it.

Jack: Kyle! Kyle! You can’t expect us to sit back when you’re this upset. What’s going on?

Diane: Yeah, we’re here for you. What is it?

Kyle: Okay. I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, but I can’t keep it to myself any longer.

Daniel: I have no idea where our mother is.

Chance: You sure about that?

Daniel: You wanna hook me up to a lie detector?

Chance: What about you?

Summer: I don’t know where she is either.

Chance: Okay. Well, I know she’s been laying low at the athletic club. She’s not there anymore. And I bet you’re the one that hustled her outta there. It’s a big mistake, summer.

Summer: Daniel, will you give me and chance some privacy?

Daniel: No. No, I don’t think I wanna do that. We agreed that we were in this together, remember?

Summer: Look, I don’t wanna drag you any deeper into this. Please.

Daniel: Listen to her. Give her a fair shake.

Chance: As long as she’s honest.

Daniel: Call me.

Summer: I really thought you were on my side there for a second.

Chance: No, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now I know you’ve been lying to me this whole time. We had an agreement. You knew that I would be as fair as the law would allow.

Summer: That’s the catch though, right? “As the law would allow.” I don’t regret any of my actions. Stark forced my mom to do everything that she did, but there– there’s no way to prove it because he is dead now. Chance, she’s in an impossible position. How can the law help her now?

Chance: There is always a way.

Summer: How? Tell me.

Chance: Summer, I can’t do anything if you don’t tell me the truth. We were supposed to be helping each other, all right? We had a relationship built on trust and right now, you don’t trust me and I sure as hell don’t trust you. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Summer: Once kyle found us, mom knew that she wasn’t safe anymore and she took off the minute that he left. She could be anywhere by now.

Chance: Summer, by refusing to cooperate, you know you’re making this so much harder on phyllis and yourself? You do realize I could arrest you right now, right? Yeah. False statements, obstruction, aiding and abetting a murder suspect.

Summer: Do what you have to do, but I still can’t tell you where my mom is because I don’t know.

Chance: [ Chuckling ] You are playing a dangerous game right now.

Summer: This is not a game to me. You wanna know where she is? Give me a guarantee that she won’t be arrested.

Chance: I can’t do that. Especially now that you’ve admitted you know more than what you’re saying. You’re taking a big risk withholding information like this, I hope you know that.

[ Phone ringing ] Chancellor. Yeah. Thanks. Um, I’m on it.

Summer: Was that about my mom?

Chance: You really expect me to tell you after you’ve given me nothing?

Kyle: Phyllis has been hiding out in a suite at the athletic club.

Diane: What?

Jack: I’m calling the police right now.

Kyle: No, I already did. Chance and I went there. She’s gone.

Diane: How did you know where she was?

Kyle: Summer led me right to her.

Jack: Wait. Summer knew where she was?

Kyle: Has for a while.

Diane: Are you serious?

Jack: She has been lying to us this whole time?

Kyle: She begged me not to tell anybody, but I’m not giving phyllis a free pass. This has to end.

Diane: Yes, it does.

Kyle: Summer has been betraying all of us for weeks. Summer not only knew phyllis was alive, she’s known where she was long before any of us found out.

[ Diane scoffing ]

Abby: How are we supposed to know that this is real? Because it– it feels fake. I mean, are we just supposed to take his word for it?

Devon: Yeah. ‘Cause we’ve been through this before too. And you– you know that marriage is a sacred thing, right?

Tucker: Yes. Of course, I know that. And I’m making a lifelong commitment.

Abby: Hmm. Yeah. Well, meanwhile, my mom is just sticking it to diane.

Ashley: Okay. Just hold on a second, abby. All right? As tucker said, there are real, real feelings here.

Abby: Oh, yeah. Like vindictiveness, hatred, irrational fear. Those are all real feelings. But this is really about diane, right?

Tucker: Well, your mother is right to have her suspicions about diane’s motives.

Ashley: Yes, I am. I’m very right. She’s a danger to our family and to our family’s company.

Devon: How is she dangerous? She’s on trial for murder, right?

Tucker: You guys didn’t hear?

Ashley: Oh, boy.

Devon: Hear what?

Abby: Hear what?

[ Tucker laughing ]

Ashley: Phyllis faked her death. She did.

Devon: What?

Ashley: She faked her death and she’s still somewhere, I don’t know, wandering around.

Tucker: No one knows where. And the police have proof that she’s alive and so they’ve dropped the charges against diane.

Ashley: Yeah.

Devon: What are you talking about?

Abby: Wait, are– are you serious right now?

Devon: There’s no way that happened.

Ashley: Yes, it happened. I mean, it’s fantastic that phyllis is alive, obviously, but now, diane is so full of herself. I mean, jack doesn’t think she can do anything wrong, so she’s more of a threat than ever before.

Chance: You don’t hear too well, do you?

Nick: Excuse me?

Chance: Nick, I told you not to take matters into your own hands when it came to kirsten. I thought you knew how important that was.

Nick: What the hell are you talking about?

Chance: Did you go to this guy’s hotel room, nick?

Nick: Yes, chance. I did. To talk to him.

Chance: There wasn’t an altercation?

Nick: What are you getting at?

Chance: Let me spell it out for you, man. Cameron kirsten has filed a complaint. He would like to press charges against you for battery.

[]

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Devon: Huh. So, now that diane has been proven innocent, you guys just want torment her?

Ashley: I’m trying to protect my family’s company, devon.

Abby: That’s a terrible reason to plan a wedding.

Tucker: Ashley and I know better than either of you what diane is capable of, so.

Ashley: Exactly. She wormed her way into a job at jabot when nobody wanted to hire her. I know what she’s gonna do next. She’s gonna convince my brother to bring her on somewhere in senior management, and she will use that position to wreak havoc within the company.

Abby: Honestly, mom, what can diane really do with uncle jack and billy in charge?

Devon: Yeah. I mean, she doesn’t really have any business experience, so how would she cover her tracks?

Abby: Unless there’s something that we’re missing?

Ashley: We wanted to share this information with you because obviously we want– we want you to know what’s going on in our lives. Please keep it private. Please. If this becomes an issue with the board, I’m hoping that I can count on your support, abby.

Abby: Support? What’s going before the board?

Ashley: I’m hiring tucker to be a part of our senior management team. And I’m also floating the idea of removing jack as ceo.

[ Abby exhaling ]

Abby: I knew it. I knew you were behind this. You are using my mom all over again.

[ Summer sighing ]

Daniel: Hey, where is our favorite detective?

Summer: I was trying to plead my case with him.

Daniel: Any luck?

Summer: I thought that maybe I was getting somewhere, but then he got this phone call and he shot me a look, and then he just walked off.

Daniel: Did he say what the phone call was about?

Summer: I’m guessing it was a lead about mom and he took off after her.

Daniel: This is exactly what we don’t need. Mom getting scared and skipping town because she’s afraid she’s not gonna be treated fairly.

Summer: Well, it’s probably exactly what happened. Daniel, we might not ever see our mom again.

Daniel: No, do not go there. We are not gonna let that happen.

Nick: Cameron’s a liar and an opportunist.

Chance: And yet you charged into his room and you let him have it. You played right into his hands.

Nick: Let him have what? I showed up. I gave him a piece of my mind and told him he had to leave town.

Chance: You assaulted him, nick.

Nick: You wanna know what happened or not?

Chance: Look, I have to take you in. I have to read you your rights.

Nick: What are you talking about? Sharon and I told you what kind of guy he is. He framed sharon for murdering her ex-boyfriend. He is a psychopath.

Chance: That doesn’t make it okay for you to go beat the hell out of him.

Nick: I didn’t do that. I did not hit him.

Chance: Then what was said? What happened?

Nick: I told him he had to stay away from everyone in my family and that he had to leave town. That’s it. He has done nothing but terrorize sharon and stalk my daughter. He killed her cat. Was i supposed to just let that go?

Chance: You were supposed to let me handle it.

Nick: Well, you didn’t handle it, chance. You should heard him with all this crazy talk. He said he was gonna try and seduce sharon.

Chance: Is that when you hit him?

Nick: Who’s not listening now?

Chance: I know what you said, nick, but I have been told otherwise.

Nick: This is the truth.

Chance: Nick, we have been here before, man. We’ve been here. I gave you the benefit of the doubt when ashland was killed. I can’t do that again.

Nick: I was just making a point, all right? But clearly, he is not leaving town. This is his next desperate move.

Cameron: Detective chancellor.

Chance: Kirsten.

Cameron: Wait. You’re just gonna stand here like chatting with my assailant? Or maybe you wanna arrest him at some point, huh?

I have type 2 diabetes,

Abby: All this talk that you are a changed man was just a pack of lies.

Devon: Yeah, man. Are you– this is– you’re trying to pull a stunt like this? Really?

Abby: How are you not disgusted by this selfish, manipulative man?

Ashley: It’s not easy. However, you’re wrong about him. He’s had nothing to do with my plan for jabot. If anything, he’s tried to talk me out of it on many, many occasions.

Devon: Really?

Abby: Is this you talking or him?

Tucker: She’s telling the truth. I have been pushing her to walk away from jabot and leave it to the abbotts, start something new with me, but if this is what she wants, I’m all in.

Ashley: It’s true. And if anybody’s using anyone, it’s me. Tucker says he loves me. He wants a real marriage. Listen, I wanna protect my family’s company, so don’t blame him, okay? I’m the one that made this call.

Chance: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Nick: Let me look at you. Whoever did that to you, I’d sure like to shake his hand.

Cameron: Like you don’t know who did this to me.

Nick: You’re a liar. I never touched you.

Cameron: You didn’t touch me? Look at my face. Look at his knuckles.

Chance: Okay. All right. Let me see your hands.

[ Nick chuckling ] Yeah, it’s pretty banged up, nick.

Nick: This didn’t happen from punching him.

Chance: How’d it happen?

Nick: Like I said, he was running his mouth, so I hit the wall out of frustration.

Cameron: That’s true. He hit the wall with his first punch, but the next three after that? Look at this. What? Do I need any more proof?

Abby: I, uh, please forgive me. I didn’t realize.

Ashley: You didn’t ask. You just assumed.

Tucker: Well, you can understand why she would jump to the worst possible conclusion with me. I’ve given her lots of reason to doubt me and–

Ashley: That’s true.

Tucker: And my intentions over the years. So if I were in her shoes, I’d do the same. Both of you.

Devon: Well, let me say that I’m sorry I misjudged you as well.

Tucker: No apology necessary.

Abby: Look, I’m happy that you’re not on board with my mom’s whole fixation with diane, but I’m not happy that you’re trying to tempt her away from jabot. That’s her legacy. She earned it.

Ashley: I agree with that. And I’m not planning on going anywhere. And I’m not planning on letting jack hand over the keys to the kingdom to diane. And that’s why I’m very happy I– I’ve got this man’s support.

Kyle: Summer shut me out. She was in so much pain, or so I thought, and I pleaded for her to let me help, but she lied and lied and lied some more. She could not have hurt me more if she had stabbed me in the heart. So tell me, how am I supposed to get past that?

Jack: How long did you wait before you called the police?

Kyle: Until the initial shock wore off. Then I knew what I had to do. I had to tell them, even though summer is now in trouble, all caught up in phyllis’s mess.

Jack: You– you did the right thing. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but she had to know there were consequences. And then she broke your heart. This is inexcusable.

Diane: You’re– you’re right. But try to see this from summer’s point of view. How can we blame her for protecting her mother?

Kyle: After what phyllis has done? After what they’ve both done? How– how can you be so understanding?

Diane: No, I– I understand what summer did. Phyllis, not at all. Think about it. She put her children in a terrible position. Forcing them to lie to people they love.

Kyle: No– no one forced summer to lie to me.

Diane: Phyllis did. She knew that summer would do anything she could to protect her mother. Summer didn’t have a choice. All right, all right, kyle. Kyle, think about it. What if the situation was reversed and you had to choose between phyllis and your own mother? Who would you protect?

The thought of getting screened

Devon: All right. Should, uh, we get round two?

Abby: He means drinks, uh, not fighting.

Tucker: Yeah, I think it’s time we said our goodbyes.

Ashley: Yeah.

Abby: Really?

Tucker: YeaH.

Abby: I mean, ’cause we haven’t even gotten our food yet.

Ashley: I know, but we’ve given you so much to absorb in such a short period of time. A lot of stuff.

Tucker: Yeah. Next time. We’ll go somewhere with dominic and we will stay away from wedding talk and business talk and we’ll keep it nice and neutral.

Ashley: Yeah.

Devon: Okay. That’s a good idea probably.

Tucker: All right.

Devon: Yeah. Thanks.

Abby: I, um, I’d like to talk about this more with you. I mean, in private. I don’t wanna fight. I just wanna understand.

Ashley: Of course. And– and I love you. And thank you for the cocktails. And thank you for listening.

Abby: You’re welcome. I love you.

Tucker: Talk to you later.

Devon: Good one. Yeah.

Abby: Good night.

Tucker: Yeah. Good night. Thank you for the invitation.

Ashley: Bye-bye.

Devon: See you, guys.

Abby: Oof! Okay.

[ Devon laughing ]

Abby: Whose idea was this again? Oh, never mind. That’s right. It was mine.

Devon: Yeah. It did not go the way we thought, did it?

Abby: Those two baffle me.

Devon: Oh, me too.

Abby: I– I don’t know who I’m more worried about. Your dad using my mom or my mom using him.

Diane: I am not condoning what summer did, obviously, but we shouldn’t judge her too harshly. She must have been scared to death.

Jack: You’re holding summer blameless? She could have told us at any time, saved us a world of torment.

Diane: And phyllis could have prevented this whole thing months ago. I guarantee that any torment that we’ve been feeling, summer has suffered twice as much. She’s not the villain here. She’s as much of a victim as any of us. I am trying to empathize with what our daughter-in-law has been going through.

Jack: Well, you are a better person than I am.

Diane: Well, first of all, no, I’m not, but summer must have been overwhelmed by the circumstances. Circumstances that her mother created to save her own skin. If we should blame anyone, it’s phyllis. Kyle, I am so sorry. My– my heart aches for you because you have been badly hurt, but so has your wife at the hands of her own mother and that is really unfair. I– I– I think summer deserves our compassion and our forgiveness.

Kyle: You are… amazing.

Diane: Don’t say that. I’m not. I just know that you and summer have something that is really special and I– I don’t wanna see you toss your marriage aside just because her mother is a destructive narcissist. Kyle, I’m not even sure you realize how valuable and– and unique your relationship is, but I just, I don’t want you to lose someone who truly loves you.

Kyle: I– I just don’t know if I can turn the other cheek. There’s been too many lies and too many days of watching her suffer and blaming myself for not being what she needed. Summer didn’t just choose phyllis over you. She– she chose a lie over our marriage. How am I supposed to get past that?

Daniel: Okay. Okay. Let’s just take a breath here and decide our next move.

Summer: I can’t even think about that right now. I might have just lost my mom and my husband.

Daniel: I can’t do anything for you and kyle, but if we put our heads together, maybe we can figure out a way to help mom.

Summer: Everything that we have tried so far has completely failed.

Daniel: So we try again and we keep trying until we find something that works.

Summer: Daniel, she is facing murder charges and there is absolutely no way to prove that it was self-defense. Unless… what if there was a witness? Somebody that saw everything that went down between her and stark that night. Who– who is willing to corroborate her story that– that it was self-defense?

Daniel: Summer, there are no witnesses. Nobody else was there. You know that.

Summer: Yeah, but the police don’T. We’re the only ones who have actually talked to her. There’s a lot of details that the cops don’t know about and stark isn’t around to refute them.

Daniel: This does not sound very feasible.

Summer: Just listen to me. What if– what if– what if there was someone who was willing to come forward for the right price? Who– who is willing to swear that they saw everything?

Chance: Nick, you admitted that you went to the guy’s hotel room. You exchanged words. Your hand is beaten up. His face is beaten up. I have to take you in, man. I’m sorry.

Nick: Fine. I’ll go to the station when I’m ready. I’m gonna go to the ranch first and make sure that sharon and faith are safe.

Chance: No, I will make sure they’re safe, okay? I have to take you, man. Once you go through booking, make sure you call victor, get him on the phone.

Cameron: Sounds like somebody’s getting special treatment ’cause they got a special last name.

Chance: Shut up. Come oN. Come on. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to hire a lawyer and have one present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Come on, come on, come on.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Audra: Some people are afraid of their own desires. It’s like they’re ashamed to admit how badly they want something.

Sally: [ Groaning ] Ah!

Adam: What– what is it?

Sally: [ Groaning ] Oh, I don’t know.

Nick: What’s going on?

Sharon: It’s faith. He took her. He took our baby.

Young & The Restless Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Hello, stranger.

Nick: I’m sorry that I’ve been out of touch, but I can explain.

Sally: Oh, I hope you don’t think we have to be joined at the hip. But what’s going on?

Nick: I had my hands full of something that’s not nearly as fun as being here with you. But I’m here now, and I want to hear everything. How’s baby girl? Is she still doing somersaults in there?

Sally: Actually, things could be better.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Faith: I thought I smelled you baking something. What’s going on?

Sharon: I’m cleaning and baking.

Faith: To distract yourself from current events?

Sharon: It had to be done. Now is as good a time as any. Are you in the mood for some cookies or some croquet? How are your roommates doing?

Faith: Completely freaked out for me. Sad for borgnine. He didn’t deserve that. And they’re worried about you.

Sharon: Me? Why?

Faith: When the mom who sends the best care packages is in trouble, the ladies at five west give a damn.

Sharon: Are you worried?

Faith: I mean, it does kind of feel like we’re living in a horror movie. Dead cat and a stalker? Just don’t go in the basement.

Sharon: That’s not going to happen, okay? We’re going to sort this out.

[ Slamming on door ]

Faith: What the– mom.

Sharon: Are you expecting anyone?

Faith: You?

Sharon: No.

[ Lock rattling ]

Summer: Thank you for meeting me.

Chance: Yeah, I had a few minutes. I’m assuming this is about phyllis?

Summer: Have you heard anything yet?

Chance: Summer, you’ll be the third or fourth person to know.

Summer: What would it take to call off the all-points bulletin?

Chance: Already told you. Bring her in.

Summer: Treating her like she’s a threat to public safety, it’s giving the wrong–

Chance: Look, she killed a man, summer.

Summer: Not by choice. It was kill or be killed.

Chance: All right, well, we need to hear the full story from her. Now, if that’s all you have to talk about, I got a lot of stuff to do.

Summer: No, wait. I– I’m just– I’m trying to picture it in my head so that I can manage my expectations.

Chance: For what?

Summer: My mom’s return. I mean, I didn’t think that it was possible for so long.

Chance: Yeah. You, uh– you got lucky.

Summer: I got lucky?

[ Chuckles ] You want to know how I got so lucky? Especially, considering the fact that stark could have killed my mom and nobody would have looked for her because he’d already faked her death? I got lucky because my mom was smart enough to save herself. I’m just saying that a woman like that who can do that, who can save herself when no one else is going to, that woman, she doesn’t deserve to come home to a prison cell.

Phyllis: You have to call me back, supergirl. Even if it’s bad news, please call me back.

[ Sighs ] Because now that kyle knows where I am… oh. My future is in kyle’s hands.

Diane: I meant what I said. For every aspect of planning a wedding, there are too many choices. I give up.

Jack: So, you’re okay with exchanging vows in a cow pasture?

Diane: [ Laughs ] With goats and hens as our guests? I don’t know. They might be better behaved than some.

Kyle: Wedding planning? I’m going to get as far away from here as possible.

Jack: Seems like only yesterday that you were planning your own vow renewal ceremony.

Diane: Ah, I loved that setting. It was so romantic, until tucker landed a helicopter in the backyard. Oh, we wanted to ask harrison to be our ring bearer.

Kyle: I’m sure he would love that, but he was our ring bearer.

Jack: Is that a problem?

Kyle: Dad, if I were you, I would do the exact opposite of what summer and I did. I think our vow renewal ceremony was bad luck. Everything was going along just fine, and then…

[ Snaps fingers ] Cursed.

Jack: Hey, hey. What’s gotten into you? Why are you talking like this?

Announcer: Additional

sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Jack: Kyle, is there something going on you want to talk to us about?

Kyle: No. Nothing. There is nothing I want to talk about. In fact, I don’t want any of this happening in my life at all, nothing– nothing feels right.

Diane: Because of summer? You two are such a team. Is she still sleeping in the pool house?

Kyle: We have a lot going on.

Diane: I know, I know, and I’m really sorry about that.

Kyle: Anyway, I– I– this should be a happy time for y’all and I don’t wanna bring you down.

Diane: Kyle, you know that parents can’t be happy unless their children are. Even an adult child.

[ Sighs ] This is all because of phyllis, who is out there somewhere. Am I wrong?

Kyle: Yeah, I’d better go.

Jack: Hey, you want some company?

Kyle: Yeah, I’m just gonna go to work. I have to solve a few problems there.

Diane: Kyle. We love you.

[ Door shuts closed ]

[ Lock rattling ]

[ Lock rattling ]

Mariah: Knock, knock. Is anybody home? Guess who forgot their key.

[ Sharon sighs in relief ]

Sharon: Mariah.

Mariah: Hey! I’m so, so sorry. I forgot my key at home and I didn’t think that I would be interrupting a croquet match?

Sharon: Um, I was just cleaning out a closet.

Mariah: Mom, if you were really that scared, you should have called the police.

Faith: Next time, say something sooner, so we don’t have to panic.

Mariah: I’m sorry–

Faith: You know that cameron is still out there.

Mariah: I know, I know. I– I wasn’t thinking.

Sharon: This just has us all on edge, which is why I want to apologize for what I’m about to say.

Faith: What?

Sharon: Faith, I think it’s time you leave.

Nick: I’m so sorry I wasn’t here.

Sally: You have a life.

Nick: You’re a big part of that life.

Sally: And I want to hear all about it.

Nick: It’s not a contest. Ladies first. What’s going on?

Sally: Don’t be alarmed. Doctor says we are not in the danger zone yet.

Nick: Already not liking this conversation.

Sally: What exactly do you know about pre-eclampsia?

Nick: Unfortunately, a lot. I’ve been down this road. Elevated blood pressure in pregnancies can lead to complications.

Sally: Yeah, well, um, I don’t have it… yet. And as long as I keep my blood pressure down, and maybe, get, I don’t know, approved for some prenatal yoga classes, then…

Nick: You sure you’re okay?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, and I’m gonna keep it that way, you know? Very, very peaceful. Very calm. If I could just meditate this headache away.

Nick: Did you tell your doctor about that?

Sally: Yes, yeah. They said it could be from my medication, so I’m just going to grit my teeth and bear it.

Nick: You’re just gonna tough it out.

Sally: For now, yeah.

Nick: What can I do? What do you need from me?

Sally: Just you being here makes me feel better. I’ve told you this before, but you’re like magic.

Nick: I wish that trick worked in every other part of my life.

Sally: What fire were you putting out whenever I was trying to track you down?

Nick: Trying to figure out what will stress you more. Knowing or not knowing.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay. Cards on the table. All of ’em.

Nick: Okay. Several years ago, sharon and i put away a very bad man, but now he’s back and he is dangerous. (Tap, tap)

Faith: You want me to leave? I can’t abandon you. That’s against family policy. Tell her, mariah.

Mariah: You’re going to have to give me the updated terms, ’cause I don’t really know what rule she’s breaking.

Faith: Times get tough, we stick together.

Sharon: If anything happened to you, do you think I’d be able to forgive myself?

Faith: But I can protect myself.

Sharon: He knows who you are, where to find you. He knows how much you mean to me.

Mariah: You’re her achilles heel.

Sharon: He knows that I would do anything for you and he is evil enough to use that against me.

Mariah: And as a newly minted member of the mom club, mom’s gonna be a lot stronger knowing that you’re safe.

Faith: But– no. Don’t you see?

Sharon: I’ll be fine.

Faith: You won’t because you’ll be alone.

Sharon: What are you talking about?

Faith: If I leave, who is going to protect you? How the heck did he get past security? And what if it happens again? We don’t have rey anymore, mom. Mariah’s busy with the baby. Who’s gonna be here to play croquet? Or hold your hand when you’re scared, huh?

Sharon: I will be fine.

Faith: You always say that.

Sharon: That’s because it’s always true. Besides, I have nick, your grandparents, and the security team here is actually quite top tier.

Faith: But he got past them anyways, which means cameron is really that dangerous.

Sharon: I love that you want to protect me, but that’s not your job.

Mariah: Sorry, kid.

Sharon: I want you someplace safe, okay? So I don’t have to worry about you.

Faith: You can’t just push me away like that. This is so not fair.

Sharon: Faith, do this for me.

Faith: I will go, but I’m not happy about it. When I text, I want answers immediately, or I’m calling emergency numbers and I’m on the next plane back.

Sharon: Well, thanks for the warning.

Faith: And the second that psycho is back behind bars, I’m coming home. I mean it.

Sharon: Yeah.

Summer: It was self-defense. He coerced her into doing everything she did. I mean– chance, you know my mom, she’s not a criminal. She was doing what she had to do to survive.

Chance: Like I said, it would help to hear all of this from phyllis.

Summer: Why don’t you interview nate hastings and elena dawson? I mean, they were there. They were at the gala, they examined my mom, and they said, in their medical opinions, she was in distress. I mean, that’s gotta mean something, right?

Chance: Just gonna help explain some things–

Summer: He drugged her! He gave something to her that affected her physically and mentally. I mean, how else would he have gotten her to go along with this scheme?

Chance: You don’t know that for a fact.

Summer: But it’s possible. Shadow of a doubt, it could help strengthen her case.

Chance: Look, the only thing that we found in her system was the poison, that’s it.

Summer: Well, did they check for an agent that could have affected her brain? Did they check for that?

Chance: Summer, there is no evidence to back up phyllis’ side of the story, none.

[ Summer sighs ] We don’t even have her word, all we have is hearsay.

Summer: Chance, she’s been through enough, I just want her to be able to come home.

Chance: You do know that any actions you take could result in you being treated as an accessory?

Summer: I don’t scare easily anymore. The only thing that really scares me is the idea of losing my mom forever because I’ve been through that once, and that was enough.

Chance: Look, summer, in the eyes of the law–

Summer: Oh, you mean, in the eyes of christine. ‘Cause she’s the problem, right? She’s got a vendetta against my mom.

Chance: This case has nothing to do with personal grievances.

Summer: Are you new here?

[ Chance chuckles ]

Chance: Okay, so you don’t think she can be fair?

Summer: I think that christine has the opportunity to publicly humiliate my mom. Sure, justice might be blind, but our enemies don’t forget. And that’s when you’re– you’re supposed to be able to turn to your friends, and I– chance, I’m just asking you is there anything that you can do?

[ Chance sighs ]

Nick: So, I gave the guy a very strongly-worded suggestion that he leave town immediately. We will see how brave he is.

Sally: Did this suggestion have anything to do with your knuckles?

[ Nick sighs ]

Nick: Nobody got hurt. And I can take care of myself. Right now, I’m more concerned about you. Are those tears in your eyes?

Sally: It’s just the cat. And your hand. Gosh, this is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.

Nick: I probably shouldn’t have brought up the cat.

Sally: I mean, who does that? Seriously, the poor thing was so defenseless, I– god, what a monster.

Nick: The cat was just a message letting us know that he can get to us whenever he wants.

Sally: Well, that guy better hope that I never see him.

Nick: Listen to me, sally. If you do see him, you run. You call the police, okay? You don’t talk to him, you don’t even catch him looking at you.

Sally: Okay, well, what does he look like?

[ Sally sighs ]

Nick: Here.

Sally: Oh, my god. I know him.

Nick: You recognize him? You saw him? Where?

Sally: In the park. I met him. Oh, my god.

Nick: I need you to tell me everything cameron said or did. Did he say or do anything that made you feel threatened?

Sally: No. He couldn’t have been nicer. You’re the one that’s scaring me.

Nick: I’m sorry. It’s just, if you knew this guy the way I do–

Sally: He was like, two feet away from me.

Nick: This face?

Sally: Yes. Absolutely.

Nick: Tell me everything.

Sally: Okay, well, I was walking through the park when I got dizzy, double vision.

Nick: Right.

Sally: And then, a man, this man, just came up to me–

Nick: Son of a bitch!

Sally: And he asked me if I was okay, and I– I told him that I had someone else to call.

Nick: Then you called me?

Sally: Yeah, and then, he stayed with me until help came.

Nick: That guy?

Sally: Yeah. He was nice.

Nick: He’s not nice, sally. He’s not. All right, cameron kirsten is dangerous as hell.

Sally: Okay, well, he couldn’t possibly know that you and I are together.

Nick: He is thorough. He is making his way into sharon’s inner circle. I mean, he showed himself to you and to faith.

Sally: Okay, okay, but there’s no way that this guy could’ve staged to be my knight in shining armor. I mean, he was in the right place at the right time. It was a coincidence. It wasn’t some targeted strike.

Nick: How can you be sure of that?

Sally: First of all, no one could have possibly known that I was gonna get dizzy. Not even me. And I have also staged a few accidental meet and greets in the past, I know what it looks like, I know what it takes. This was not choreographed. He had no idea who I was.

Nick: Well, we need to make sure it stays that way.

Diane: Here you go.

Jack: Thank you. Kyle’s right, you know.

Diane: About the curse of vow renewals?

Jack: No, we need to get back to the business of planning our wedding.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Did you get the feeling that there’s more going on with him than he’s telling us?

Jack: Kyle is a grown man entitled to keep the details of his marriage to himself.

Diane: Yes, but how can we help him if don’t know what the problem is?

Jack: By staying out of it.

[ Si

Diane: This is all phyllis’ fault.

Jack: Look, all we can do is be here for kyle when he needs us. In the meantime, we have other problems brewing.

[ Twig snaps ]

Mariah: I kickbox and I know how to use my pepper spray.

Kyle: At the same time? I’m scared.

Mariah: Oh, kyle.

[ Laughs ] It’s you.

Kyle: What was that warning for? Everything all right?

Mariah: No, it wasn’t– it wasn’t a warning, it was– listing my special skills. You know, like you do at the end of a resume. I juggle, I waterski, I speak french.

Kyle: None of which is true.

Mariah: Like you don’t lie on your resume, kyle?

Kyle: Oh, in terms of special skills, I got you beat. I know how to marry the woman of my dreams and turn her into the invisible woman with a heart of stone.

[ Mariah laughs ]

Mariah: I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I don’t mean to laugh, it’s just– you look awful. Like you’ve been sleeping on the wrong side of the bed.

Kyle: God, that’s odd, ’cause I’ve had the whole bed to myself.

Mariah: I– what can I say? Grief is– is rough.

Kyle: It’s true. But summer stopped grieving a long time ago.

Mariah: Kyle, it’s been three months. Her mother just died.

Kyle: Mariah, can you keep a secret?

Mariah: Why would you ask me that? You know I can’t keep a secret.

Kyle: Well, you have to keep this one.

Mariah: Um, okay. Yes, I can do that for you. So, what’s happening?

Kyle: It feels like everything’s happening. And what I do next will change the course of my and summer’s lives.

[ Door clicks open ]

Phyllis: Hi. Oh, gosh. I’ve been texting you like a crazy person.

Summer: Well, I have been busy.

Phyllis: I should think so after kyle showing up here.

Summer: I have bad news.

Phyllis: All right. How bad?

Summer: Everything is about to hit the fan.

Phyllis: Everything everything? Okay. You told kyle the whole truth, didn’t you? ( )

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. And we’re done.

Sally: You look like you need to go.

Nick: I really do. I have to check on sharon and faith. If I leave you here alone, will you be okay?

Sally: Um, yes. Yeah, yeah. I will be extra careful and I already have the voice assistant programmed on my phone. All I have to do is– hold on, watch this. Call nick.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nick: I mean, extra points for ingenuity. I’m not kidding. If you see this man again, you treat him like he is poison, okay?

Sally: Okay. But the same goes for you. Please don’t get into any more fist fights. Even if it is just an innocent wall.

Nick: I’ve called in backup. The right people are on alert. My dad’s security team, gcpd, they’re on this. Cameron kirsten’s time is up.

Kyle: So that’s what’s been going on. What do you think I should do?

Mariah: No, you– you can’t ask me to do that.

Kyle: You’re still my best friend.

Mariah: And as such, I’m obligated to tell you the truth.

Kyle: That’s what I want.

Mariah: No, I– I don’t think that’s actually what you want because if I tell you the truth, it could put our friendship at risk and I– I just can’t risk that.

Kyle: What could you possibly say that would ruin–

Mariah: I have tried very hard because you love her to see the good in summer and accept her. That’s what friends do. But friends also speak up when they see trouble. I don’t trust summer. I never have. I don’t know if I ever will. There. I said it. I’m sorry.

Kyle: You should have seen us in italy. We were so happy.

Mariah: But now you’re here in her natural habitat where she’s surrounded by people who encourage and normalize her bad behavior. I know that you love her, I do, and love is amazing, but the truth is, she chose her mother over you, kyle. She knew phyllis was alive and let your mother get blamed for phyllis’ murder. I– I mean, to me, that is reprehensible. And if you hate me for saying all of this, then you know what? So be it. I love you enough to risk losing you by telling you what’s in my heart. Which is more than I can say for your wife.

Summer: We left here, we went home, he started piecing everything together and I– I had to come clean. I didn’t have a choice.

Phyllis: Okay. Full disclosure, right? Okay. How’heak

Summer: It was horrible. And the insults that he was hurling at me, I mean…

Phyllis: Oh, summer, I’m so sorry–

Summer: No.

Phyllis: I’m so heartbroken over this. I’m so sorry.

Summer: He’s right though. He’s right about all of it. I mean, I– I chose you over everyone. I chose you over his mom and over him.

[ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: I’m sick about this. I really am.

[ Summer sighs ] I want to fix it. I’m sorry. Um, this is all my fault.

Summer: Yeah, it absolutely is, but you know what? We actually don’t have time for that right now because we need to go.

Phyllis: Why? What’s wrong?

Summer: Kyle is furious, mom. You’re no longer safe here. We need to leave.

Diane: I can’t believe a woman as brilliant and confident as ashley is rushing to marry that conman, tucker. And you really think it’s all part of a scheme to take over jabot?

Jack: All signs seem to point that way.

Diane: Well, should i look for another job to try and avoid a family war?

Jack: You aren’t going anywhere. Billy and I are working on figuring this out.

Diane: Well, I’m sure tucker is using ashley’s unfounded fears about her place in the company to provoke her. You know, maybe this was part of his plan all along when he wanted me to gather info about jabot. Maybe it’s part of his long game, something he’s been planning for months or years even?

Jack: Billy and i still don’t know who’s behind this, right now is how do we stop them?

Nick: Hey. I heard you had an eventful few hours?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Uh, yeah. That little girl is keeping me on my toes. Since I can’t watch her 24 hours a day yet, I bought this from the pharmacy. It’s a blood pressure monitor. Doctor said sally might not even need it, but I figured better safe.

Nick: Yeah, it’s good thinking.

Adam: Well, my girl deserves the best. Uh, when I said my girl, I meant the baby.

Nick: Yeah, I know who you were talking about.

Adam: You think I overstepped?

Nick: No, I think that’ll make sally feel better, so it’s smart.

>>Dam: Sure. Sure.

Nick: Hey, before you go, I have a favor to ask.

Adam: Okay.

Nick: I need you to look out for sally for me. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Mariah: Summer chose her mother over you, okay? And the way that they’re always so busy, it’s like they’re– they’re plotting or scheming and that’s amazing. When that energy is– is focused towards merchandising and marketing, but it is awful when it’s towards friends and family.

Kyle: I’ve known summer for so long. I thought I knew what she was capable of.

Mariah: Summer is her mother’s daughter.

Kyle: That’s easy to say, but you don’t know her like I–

Mariah: I know you and we wouldn’t be sitting here having this conversation if she didn’t break your heart past healing. Kyle, summer has changed you in the following ways–

Kyle: Oh, stop it.

Mariah: No. You need an intervention. Summer is– is going to be summer, but if you’re okay with the lying and the manipulation and always being put in second for the rest of your life then I… I’m going to have to figure out a way not to be friends with you.

Kyle: What? You can’t do that. I– are you serious?

Mariah: No. Yes. Look, I– bottom line, I have a kid now. I cannot be around all of that recklessness. I just can’T.

Kyle: You think I want that for harrison? Full time chaos?

Mariah: You’re choosing it.

Kyle: She’s his mother.

Mariah: Okay. I’m very new at this whole parenting thing, so grain of salt, but at its most basic level, we are supposed to protect our kids, right? Keep them out of harm’s way.

Kyle: Of course.

Mariah: So, if phyllis and summer can do what they did to you and your mother and pretty much everyone else in town, they’re dangerous.

Kyle: What am i supposed to do, mariah?

Mariah: You know what, kyle. And I am so, so sorry.

Adam: What the hell is cameron even doing here? Hey, if he’s looking to cause trouble for anybody, you may need to do something–

Nick: If sharon told you about this guy, I’m sure she said that making smart decisions is not his strong suit.

Adam: I don’t even understand why they would let this guy on the street, so he can continue to torment sharon and hurt other people?

Nick: We are dealing with it, but until he’s out of town and no longer a threat–

Adam: I will look after sally and the baby. No problem.

Nick: I appreciate it. Thank you. And keep me posted if there are any problems.

Adam: Well, what is a problem is that you have now brought this chaos to sally’s door because it’s the last thing that she needs right now.

Nick: He is attacking the margins of sharon’s life, all right? From what I know, he doesn’t know who sally is or how she’s connected to me.

Adam: Yeah, and yet you are asking me to look out for her after you warned me to stay away. So that means you are worried and not just about the pregnancy, you’re worried about this freak.

Nick: We don’t even know if sally figures into his plans, but there’s no harm in being extra careful, right?

Adam: You know what I find telling, nick? Is during this time of crisis, two women in your life need attention and care and which one you’re choosing to focus on.

Nick: You gonna look after sally or not?

Adam: I already told you that I would.

Nick: Then, we’re done here.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Did kyle use those words? Did he say he was going to the police?

Summer: No.

Phyllis: No? Okay then. Good.

Summer: I haven’t talked to him since our fight though. There’s no reason he wouldn’t go to the police.

Phyllis: Except because he loves you.

Summer: How do i sneak you out of here?

Phyllis: Um, I don’t know. What does it look like on the outside? I mean, what are my chances of getting caught?

Summer: I talked to chance–

Phyllis: You talked to chance?

Summer: It’s not good, mom.

Phyllis: You talked to chance? Wow. Really? You talked to chance? And you’re getting tips from the police about your fugitive mom?

Summer: I was taking countermeasures, yes.

Phyllis: Okay, well, that’s smart. Devious too. I don’t know whether to be proud or cry, quite honestly.

Summer: Mom, are you ready to run?

Phyllis: What if I’m not?

Summer: How can you not be ready?

Phyllis: I’ve been hoping for the best all this time. Maybe I should prepare for the worst, summer. Maybe I should put an end to this and let chance arrest me.

Kyle: Hey, chance. You got a minute?

Chance: Actually, I don’T. I came to tell you exactly what I told your wife. There have been zero credible sightings of phyllis.

Kyle: Until now.

Chance: Who has seen her now?

Kyle: I have.

Chance: You know where she is?

Kyle: Follow me. And we’re done.

Summer: Grab your stuff, put on a wig, you’re not turning yourself in.

Phyllis: Okay, summer, hear me out. Just hear me out, okay? I call chance and I tell him where I am. And I’ll say, I wanted to keep on running but you fought me every step of the way.

Summer: That’s not what I want.

Phyllis: No, but everybody wins. Don’t you see that? Everyone. I mean, chance arrests a big fish, he gets a promotion, he gets accommodation. Kyle’s parents see you as the perfect daughter-in-law who sacrificed everything.

Summer: No, no.

Phyllis: It’s the only way out.

Summer: Mom, we have not struggled to keep you out of prison for this long just to give up now.

Phyllis: I want to give you your life back. You deserve to have your life back. A life that you love so much.

[ Sighs ]

Summer: You would really do that for me?

Phyllis: I’d do anything for you. Anything. Let’s do this.

Jack: This family has been through enough. If there is any way to cut off ashley’s coup attempt before it happens, I want to know about it.

Diane: And her biggest fear is that I’ll have a more powerful role at jabot.

Jack: Seems to be.

[ Diane sighs ]

Diane: Then, why don’t we scare the hell out of her? Promote me. Think about it. This way, we’d show them that the playing field is level and we are ready for battle. She doesn’t have the numbers or the support. She needs to know now before things get heated that we are ready to fight. We want peace, but we’re prepared for war.

Sally: What is that?

Adam: I– uh, I was walking through the pharmacy and I saw a blood pressure cuff.

Sally: And you thought of me? That is so depressing.

Adam: Well, I– I hope that you never need it. Too. Thank you.

Adam: If the next few months are as uneventful as I predict, just donate it to a worthy cause.

Sally: I will do that. It’s the worst gift ever, by the way.

Adam: Well, you’re gonna have to get used to putting on a lot of fake smiles for all the boring gifts from now on ’cause the baby will get all the good ones.

Sally: As it should be. Shouldn’t you be somewhere doing something?

Adam: The truth?

Sally: It’s always a good option.

Adam: I’m exactly where I need to be.

Sally: Hm. Did someone suggest you keep a watchful eye?

Adam: If nick and i are working together, you know it’s for a special cause.

Nick: You okay? Is it faith?

Sharon: Yeah. She’s leaving. I’m sending her away.

Nick: That’s smart. Just until we get this guy back in prison.

Sharon: I know, but–

Nick: You hate it that he’s got any power over you and you’re gonna miss your daughter like crazy. Or maybe this is dragging up some bad memories that you haven’t fully dealt with yet?

Sharon: I’m sorry.

Nick: No, sharon, don’T. Don’t apologize. I know where cameron is. I tracked him down. He’s at the athletic club.

Sharon: What happened?

Nick: I just, uh, let him know that we’re watching him and what will happen if he tries anything else.

Sharon: Do you think you got through to him?

Nick: I hope so. But I’m glad faith is taking off. Just in case this dirtbag tries to press his luck.

[ Banging on door ]

Chance: Gcpd, open up.

[ Knocking on door ] Phyllis, police. Phyllis? Are you sure–

Kyle: She was here.

Chance: Well, another dead end.

Kyle: No. Somebody tipped her off and helped her take off in a hurry. My wife. If you find summer, you’ll find phyllis.

Young & The Restless Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: Is it wrong that I get excited when our podcast numbers come in? I know you’re not a fan.

Victoria: Actually, I’ve been listening to it on the treadmill. Yeah. Figured if you were so hot on it, then maybe it was something worth checking out.

Nate: Oh, okay. Um, and?

Victoria: And, well, that true crime series that you recommended is intense. I can see why it attracts so many listeners.

Nate: People can’t get enough of it. The ad sales are a major revenue stream.

Victoria: Well, you can’t argue that. Maybe we should reinvest some of that money into the genre and build on a good thing we have here.

Nate: Already on it.

Victoria: Of course you are. What are you smiling about?

Nate: Victor’s inviting me for drinks.

Victoria: Alone?

Nate: Uh, it just says sometime soon. Doesn’t sound pressing. What’s your best guess?

Audra: I think I know. I just saw victor at the athletic club. We were talking about you.

Billy: So then I said, “I quit, I’m out of here. I’m gonna sell my car, buy a motorcycle and hit the road and see where it takes me.” Then, guess what he said to me back?

Chelsea: Uh-huh.

Billy: Yeah? What did he say? What did you think?

Chelsea: What– what were you saying?

Billy: Nothing vaguely interesting, that’s pretty obvious.

Chelsea: I’m sorry.

Billy: It’s all right.

Chelsea: They released the numbers for the soft rollout for my game last week. You know how omegasphere was quietly testing the waters of their products?

Billy: Oh, yeah. I’m very aware. I’m actually playing and I’m doing pretty well. My– my emotional intelligence rating went from needs improvement to vaguely self-aware.

Chelsea: Hm. So, you’re the one who’s playing.

Billy: Oh, come on. Can’t be that bad.

Chelsea: I have the lowest user numbers for my game. It’s a dud.

Billy: It’s not a dud. It just– it takes time to find an audience. It’s gonna be all right. You know, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. How about I take you out for dinner? We can get your mind off of things?

Chelsea: You don’t have to do that.

Billy: It’s not exactly a chore. I’d like to.

Chelsea: Well, it doesn’t mean you should.

Nikki: Hi, darling.

Victor: Hello, sweetheart.

Nikki: Listen.

Victor: There we go.

Nikki: I just checked on sharon and faith and I am beyond upset. That human garbage poisoned faith’s cat and left it on the porch for her to find. She is devastated.

Victor: I’m well aware of it.

Nikki: That man has got to stop terrorizing our family.

Victor: Sweetheart, cameron kirsten will be taken care of.

Nikki: By whom? Because nicholas is not answering his phone and I’m worried he’s going to take matters into his own hand again.

Daniel: I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

Lily: Take what?

Daniel: I can’t say.

Lily: Daniel, how can I help you if I don’t know what’s going on?

Daniel: Things with my mom and my sister are about to explode and I am worried about the fallout.

Nick: Open up, cameron! I know you’re in there.

Cameron: Hi, nick. Took you long enough to find me.

Nick: You wanted to be found? Here I am.

Cameron: Now what? You gonna come in here and you’re gonna teach me a lesson? Boy, you are painfully predictable. We’re done.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: Okay, what is going on with summer and phyllis and why are you worried?

Daniel: I haven’t been completely honest because I don’t want to risk implicating you.

Lily: Okay, this sounds serious.

Daniel: It is.

Lily: I–

[ Phone chiming ] I have a meeting I have to get to, but I’m gonna postpone it because I wanna hear what’s going on.

Daniel: No, no, no. Don’T. I’ve got some place I need to be too. Um… why don’t we meet up later and I’ll tell you everything?

Lily: Are you sure? You just said things are gonna explode.

Daniel: It’s better this way. I’d rather just text you when I’m free.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Okay, I mean, it’s gonna be hard to concentrate on anything else, but I’m here for you, okay?

Billy: Did I do something wrong?

Chelsea: No. No. You have been as sweet and attentive and– and as loving as always.

Billy: Then why don’t you let me take you out for dinner?

Chelsea: Because you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.

Billy: But you do have to eat, don’t you?

Chelsea: It’s not what I mean.

Billy: Okay, well, I guess I don’t follow then.

Chelsea: You’re–

[ Chelsea sighing ] You’re trying to distract me from my worries. Keep me from thinking about what’s bothering me. You wanna save me. You wanna be my hero again.

Billy: I promise you, I will keep my cape at home. Hey, it’s just dinner.

Chelsea: Dr. Malone and I, we’ve been talking about us.

Billy: I thought we got the green light from her on us, you know, as long as we took our time and kept our eyes wide open.

Chelsea: Well, we’ve been talking about how we initially bonded. You saved me, literally. There’s no way around that.

Billy: Is that a bad thing?

Chelsea: No. But maybe, because of that, you feel like you have to keep saving me and I would never want you to feel that way. I’m– I’m doing well. I’m doing great, actually, but if I’m not, I never want you to feel like it’s because of something you did or didn’t do.

Billy: So, I’m not helping? I don’T…

Chelsea: You’ve been amazing, but it’s not your job to fix me. And even there’s a tiny part of you that feels like it is, we have to talk about it and figure out how to handle it.

Victoria: So, you think that you have better insights than I do as to why my father wants to have a drink with nate?

Audra: Oh, not at all. Um, it’s not a competition. I just, uh, thought I had an explanation and it would be valuable to share it.

Victoria: Please do.

Audra: Well, I spoke with victor after you two headed up to the corporate suite at the athletic club. You know, to go over those figures.

Victoria: Yes, I remember.

Audra: Well, victor seemed really interested in your working relationship. You know, he was quizzing me about it, and of course, I went out of my way to sing nate’s praises as a great boss.

Victoria: As well you should.

Audra: Yeah, well, we were talking, you two came downstairs and left together. That’s when he got really interested. You know, I talked up how inspiring the both of you are as leaders, how in sync you are, so I’m sure that’s why he wants to meet with nate. After the glowing report he got from me, I’m sure he wants to congratulate you on earning your employee’s respect. He probably wants to give you a bonus.

Victoria: Wow, you really do know how to read a situation, don’t you? That’s exactly right. That’s exactly the kind of effusive praise and gesture that my father is known for.

Nate: Thanks for putting in a good word.

Audra: Anytime.

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: That was audra’s not so subtle way of saying victor saw us coming down the stairs and leave the athletic club together.

Victoria: Yeah, no kidding. So, what if he did?

Nate: Well, it does shed a new light on the timing of his drink offer.

Victoria: How so?

Nate: Does victor really want to sit down with the ceo of newman media, or is this a test of the new guy in his daughter’s life?

Victoria: Being tested by my father isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I think that means that he is taking you seriously. In my book, that’s a good sign.

Victor: So, in other words, you’re worried nicholas will go too far with this cameron kirsten slimeball?

Nikki: Yes, I am. He’s done it in the past and I– I know he’s working with chance and our security team to find him, but I also know his history with that maniac.

Victor: Sweetheart.

Nikki: He will do anything to protect sharon and faith.

Victor: A man must do what he feels he has to do to protect his family, that’s all.

Nikki: Yes, but you and i both know what instincts he’s having right now and after what cameron did to that poor cat, if nicholas finds him, he’s gonna lead with his fists–

Victor: Good.

Nikki: Not his head.

Victor: I’ll be there to back him up, if need be.

[ Nikki sighing ]

Nick: You wipe that smug look off your face, you coward. You’re terrorizing a mother and her daughter. You killed an innocent animal. What’s the matter with you? How’d they ever let you out of prison?

Cameron: I don’t know, man. The justice system, it’s a mystery, right? As far as killing innocent animals, I– I got no idea what you’re gassing on about. I’m here for one reason and one reason only, sharon.

Nick: Oh, you’re gonna stay away from her.

Cameron: Hm, not your call. You’re not married anymore. She’s fair game.

Nick: Are you insane? She despises you.

Cameron: I can change that. I think she’s warming up to me already. You’re in my personal space, nick.

Nick: You shut your mouth. Here’s how this is gonna play out. See, I told the police and newman security exactly who you are and what you’re capable of. If you so much as smile at sharon or faith, they’re gonna haul your ass back to prison before you can say “parole violation.”

Cameron: Empty threat. You got no grounds.

Nick: Your track record is grounds enough.

Cameron: I did my time. I’m reformed and I’ve got the parole board’s stamp of approval to prove it.

Nick: Sharon is not the same woman she was all those years ago when you manipulated her. She’s stronger, more confident and fearless now.

Cameron: Just as beautiful as the day I met her. And you are not gonna get between us this time. I promise you that. What are you gonna do? You gonna hit me? Because I got a legal right to defend myself, nick, so you go ahead. You take your best shot. Do it. Do it. Hit me!

Nick: Yeah, next time, it’ll be for real.

[ Cameron laughing ]

Today, my friend you did it, you did it, you did it…

Chelsea: I’ve upset you.

Billy: No, it’s okay. It’s all good.

Chelsea: It’s my fault. We should’ve had this conversation sooner.

Billy: So now we’re having a conversation on how to handle the situation. Let me ask you honestly. Um, do you feel like I have a need to play hero?

Chelsea: It’s not an indictment. I’m not saying you’re doing anything wrong.

Billy: But you’re talking about it with your therapist, so it’s bothering you, right? Or it’s bothering her.

Chelsea: I think you are wonderful and I adore you, but yeah, I think it bothers me a little bit that your instinct, if something’s bothering me, is to distract me.

Billy: It’s not– I mean, do you blame me for wanting to see you smile?

Chelsea: Yeah, but you can’t stop me from ever having an unhappy thought.

Billy: I feel like that’s a very natural thing, you know. I care about you, so I want to see you joyful. I want to see you happy.

Chelsea: Of course, but it’s not realistic to expect that all the time and you have to trust me that if I’m having an unpleasant thought, I can handle it, and if I can’t handle it, I’ll talk to you about it.

Billy: Okay, well, um, I gotta be honest, that does kind of bother me a little bit.

Chelsea: Do you wanna discuss it?

Billy: I do, but, um, look, I’m not dodging. I’m really not. I have to go meet victoria. We gotta talk about the kids, so, uh… can we just pick this up later?

Chelsea: Of course.

Billy: Okay. Bye. Hey.

Daniel: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey.

Daniel: Hey. [ Sighing ] Sorry I’m late. Been a hell of a day already.

Chelsea: I think I know the reason. It’s me, isn’t it. My game is a flop.

Nate: I should be getting back to my office.

Victoria: Well, before you do that, let’s strategize about this drink that you’re gonna be having with my father.

Nate: Well, I was thinking rye, neat.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Let’s figure out what it is he wants and what your approach will be.

Nate: I appreciate your offer, but I’ve been through a lot over the years with victor newman. I’m not worried about a little one-on-one time with him.

Victoria: Well, you know, plenty of men would be unnerved by an invite from victor newman.

Nate: I’m not your ordinary guy.

Victoria: No, you are not and it is undeniable sexy how this doesn’t throw you, not even in the least.

Nate: Mm. I’m finding that few things intimidate me lately. It makes the possibilities seem endless. And I have you to thank for that.

Lily: Well, no, I don’t care if the gaming bloggers want stats now, they’ll get them when I saw say so. Okay. Hi.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Um, I haven’t seen you, since, uh…

Billy: Since our very awkward double date?

Lily: Yes. That was interesting with the kids, too.

Billy: Yeah, that was weird, even by my standards.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: It was fine though, I mean, once we all loosened up.

Billy: Yeah. So, how are you and– and daniel doing?

Lily: Uh… slow and steady. How are you and chelsea?

Billy: Same-ish. Maybe a little bit more wobbly than steady.

Lily: I mean, I don’t want to pry, but is– is everything okay?

Billy: Yeah, everything’s fine. You know, I just spent most of my life waiting for other people to solve my problems and now, I’m swinging in the other direction.

Lily: Right. Fixing problems you haven’t been asked to.

Billy: Problems, situations, people.

Lily: Well, I am happy that you’re thinking about it.

Billy: Yeah, not sure I would have if certain people didn’t bring it to my attention.

Lily: Now, you just gotta find that balance between saving the world and falling apart.

Billy: Seems easy, huh?

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: One of the hardest balancing acts I know.

Billy: Something to aspire to.

Cameron: You’re gonna wanna to get some ice on that, sport. That’s gonna leave a bruise.

Nick: You’re gonna check out of this hotel and you’ll be gone in the morning.

Cameron: You’re not hearing me, nick. You’re gonna have to drag me out of here in a bag! I got no intention of leaving. I got things to do, women to seduce. And guess what? I’m free to do that. I have broken no law and I haven’t hurt anyone or anything, be it human, feline or inanimate.

Nick: You have been harassing sharon since you got here.

Cameron: Oh, come on, man. I– I’ve seen her once in the coffee shop and you were there for most of it.

Nick: Which is why I know exactly what your intentions are.

Cameron: Hey, you know what? It– it’s kind of sweet how protective you are of your ex-wife. A little sad because she no longer wants or loves you, but super sweet.

Nick: You are going to stay away from sharon and faith and you will be gone by the morning.

Cameron: Or what?

Nick: You don’t want to find out. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Victoria: Well, I would like to continue this discussion, but I have a meeting.

Nate: Oh, anything I should tag along for?

Victoria: Unfortunately, no. It’s personal, it’s not business.

Nate: And here I thought I was both.

Victoria: Aw, you very much are. I won’t be long, I promise. And feel free to use the office. Knowing that you’re waiting for me here will give me an excellent reason to hurry back.

Audra: Well, well. You don’t seem to be wasting any time, are you?

Nate: What do you want, audra?

Audra: Well, just to admire how you operate. The fact that you and victoria ever get any work done is impressive.

Daniel: I promise that my poor mood has nothing to do with your game. It will find its audience, I am not worried. I mean, I’m dealing with some other stuff and its personal, it’s not professional.

Chelsea: Of course. You’re still grieving the loss of your mom. And here I am making it about myself. I’m so sorry for– for projecting my insecurities onto you.

Daniel: Don’t apologize. Look, you just launched your baby out into the world. Of course you’re gonna be feeling vulnerable.

Chelsea: It’s crazy, right? How a game can make you feel so protective? How things like user reports can make you feel so vulnerable and insecure?

Daniel: Mm, I’ve seen the numbers from the soft launch. They’re not through the roof.

Chelsea: Yeah. That’s putting it nicely.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. But we are getting good word of mouth on social media.

Chelsea: You are?

Daniel: We are. Yeah, it’s like our mental health consultant said, people, they are more willing to talk about their emotional struggles online, and it seems like they are seeking guidance outside of traditional avenues. We’re poised to be that.

Chelsea: How can you tell?

Daniel: I was monitoring this discussion thread this morning and people were already pointing to your game as a positive tool for dealing with anxiety.

Chelsea: Really?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Huh. Is it ironic that I’ve been too anxious to look?

Daniel: I totally get that. Um, besides, you know, people online, they can be vicious, but take a look at this.

Chelsea: “This game has helped me practice how I talk to my mom about how upset it makes me when she yells at me.” Hm.

Daniel: You know what that means?

Chelsea: It means we’re actually helping people.

Daniel: We are actually helping people and that is worth a hell of a lot more than numbers.

Billy: Hi.

Victoria: Hi. Thanks for meeting me.

Billy: Of course. You said this is about the kids. Is everybody okay?

Victoria: Oh, yeah. Everybody’s fine. Um, well, we were talking at breakfast and uh, the kids are both very excited about camp.

Billy: Yeah. I’m trying not to take it personal that they can’t wait to get away from us for a whole summer.

Victoria: Well, you should brace yourself because johnny brought up boarding school.

Billy: And I hope you assured him that we don’t plan on sending him this year.

Victoria: Oh, no, not exactly. He wants to go. At first, I thought he was kidding, but uh, he’s not, and then katie got all excited about the idea, so I told them that I would talk to you about it.

Billy: So, today’s the day I find out that nobody actually needs me anymore.

Victoria: What? Where’s that coming from?

Billy: Don’t worry about it. Um, look, you know how I feel about boarding school.

Victoria: Oh, yeah. You hate it.

Billy: Yeah. My own personal experience wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy.

Victoria: Well, this is about johnny and katie, billy. It’s not about you.

Billy: You’re right. You’re right. And if this is what they want and we visit often, then I’m not gonna say no.

Victoria: So, is that a yes?

Billy: It’s a reluctant one, but I guess this is, you know, good continuity from last year and it is a great place for both their passions.

Victoria: Yes, yes. That is exactly how I feel. Johnny would be able to continue the coding classes that he loves and our daughter has straight as, so she can spend all of her free time horseback riding.

Billy: And you’ve really thought about this. Where’s all this enthusiasm coming from?

Victoria: Well, it’s what the kids want.

Billy: You sure this doesn’t have anything to do with your budding relationship with nate? When you really need to sleep.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Sweet pillows of softness!

Victoria: I hope that you’re not implying that I wanna ship the kids off because it would give me more time to date because you are way too smart to say something so stupid, billy.

Billy: That’s never stopped me before. But you’re right, it’s none of my business.

Victoria: Was that supposed to be an apology?

Billy: Vic, I know that you would never put some guy above our kids and I’m sorry, that was a jerk thing to say.

Victoria: Yes, it was. Where did that come from?

Billy: I don’t know.

[ Billy chuckling ] You know, earlier today, I got chastised for doing something that I thought was the right thing to do and now, I’m taking it out on you.

Victoria: Me seeing nate isn’t gonna be a problem for us, right? Because I’m not sending the kids away, I’m just letting them gO. Those are two very different things. You know, I– I wanna give them the best and if that includes some new school adventure, even though it breaks my heart because I’m not gonna see them every day, I wanna give them that.

Billy: No, you’re right. And it is gonna be hard, but it’s the right thing to do for them.

Victoria: And where did this come from? That nobody needs you anymore? I mean, the kids need both of us, just in different ways.

Billy: Now, I feel really bad because you’re being so nice and I was an ass.

Victoria: Look, holding on to the kids just because it makes us feel better to have them around isn’t gonna do them any good. We have to give them space, and then, we’re their safety net if they ever need us.

Daniel: Chelsea, this game, it was never about zombies or unicorns. It’s about finding real solutions to human problems. That means seeing things from a new perspective. You know, real change? It’s hard. You have to trust, you have to commit, it takes time and it can be scary.

Chelsea: I can attest to that.

Daniel: Yeah. You’re a living, breathing example. I mean, you’ve taken all your pain and all your struggles and you’ve turned it into something positive. Omegasphere.

[ Chelsea laughing ]

Chelsea: Omegasphere.

Daniel: I hope you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished.

Chelsea: Well, I’m getting there, thanks to you. I mean, you should be proud too, you know. You took a chance on me when not many people would have. You’re a good guy who wants to do good things.

Nick: Your security team’s tip was right. Cameron was at the athletic club. He needs to be watched 24/7.

Victor: How did you know that?

Nick: I went and, uh, confronted him there.

Nikki: Oh, my god. This is exactly what I was worried about.

Victor: Did you touch him?

Nick: No, sir. Not a hair on his head.

Victor: There, you see.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Your knuckles.

Nick: The wall wasn’t so lucky.

Victor: Right cross? Uh-huh. Well then, he got lucky.

Nick: I’m sure I got his attention.

Nikki: Yeah, and maybe a broken hand.

Nick: I’m fine, mom.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nikki: It’s the office. I have to take this. Please promise me you won’t do anything rash until I deal with this.

Victor: Okay, there, sweetheart.

Nick: What happened to that security guard who had his uniform stolen?

Victor: That loser? Stuffed in a closet. Stripped down to his underwear, for heaven’s sake. I fired his ass.

Nick: Good.

[ Phone chiming ]

Victor: Oh. I spoke with nate hastings about having a drink with him. Um… okay.

Nick: So, our family is dealing with a stalker, but you have time to go and socialize with an opportunist?

Victor: You’re saying that whilst being involved with an opportunist?

Nick: What does that mean?

Victor: Sally spectra is a noose drawn around your neck. Don’t you see it? Especially now that she’s pregnant with your brother’s child.

Nick: You have no idea what you’re talking about, all right? Cameron’s a threat to our family right now, but you’re wasting time taking shots at the mother of your next grandkid.

Victor: And cameron kirsten will be dealt with. Sally spectra, from now on, will be part of our lives. Ever wonder why kit kats are so delightfully crispy?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Lily: Hi. Oh, wow.

Daniel: Do you have any idea how much I appreciate you?

Lily: I mean, that hug gave me an idea, but I feel like something else is going on.

Daniel: I met with chelsea, talked about the early response to her game.

Lily: Oh, god. I know. I meant to call her and tell her not to look at downloads or active player numbers and just focus on the good the game is doing.

Daniel: I told her the same thing, but I bet she would appreciate hearing it from you too.

Lily: Yeah. I’ll call her, for sure, but hey, what is going on with phyllis and summer and why have you been keeping it from me?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: As much as I want to be completely honest with you, telling you compromises both of us, so if you don’t want anything to do with it, I’ll just keep it to myself.

Lily: Hey, whatever it is, it’s okay. You can tell me.

Daniel: My mother is hiding out at a room at the athletic club. Cops could be at her door at any second.

Chelsea: Okay, well, it’s definitely not what I wanted to hear, but thank you for letting me know. Bye.

Billy: What happened?

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Chelsea: That was connor’s teacher. He, apparently, is not raising his hand in class and he’s keeping to himself during free time. She thinks he’s shutting down.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: I thought he was pulling himself out of this mood. Apparently, it’s just gotten worse.

Billy: Well, I’m dying to figure out a way to fix this, or at least, distract you from being worried, but I won’T.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Billy: Instead, I will ask you, do you need advice? Reassurance? Or just someone to vent to?

Chelsea: You have given me enough reassurance just by making it clear you trust me to handle this on my own.

Billy: I’m learning. It’s an imperfect process.

Chelsea: Right? We’re doing our best. It’s all we can do. So, I think I’m just gonna talk to connor tonight and try to get through to him and maybe some ice cream will help.

Billy: Now that is a good idea.

Chelsea: Uh-huh. One step at a time, right? One day at a time. Thank you for helping.

Billy: I don’t feel like I did anything.

Chelsea: You listened. And now, let me return the favor. What can I do for you?

Nate: You might want to work on your discretion. You shouldn’t talk about your bosses at the office like that.

Audra: Uh, you and I have an agreement. I didn’t think I needed to pretend like I don’t know what’s going on.

Nate: You don’t, with me, but you might want to back off with being so blatant with victoria.

Audra: Well, I think she enjoys a sparring partner. If she respects me as someone who will speak her mind, I’ll be well positioned to take over when she promotes you.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: I appreciate your positive thinking about my ascendance, as well as your own.

Audra: Like I said, we’re in this together.

Nate: By the way, I used the information you shared about the tech team’s video production capabilities to impress victoria with an idea I had for newman’s real estate division.

Audra: Clever. Making newman media useful to newman enterprises. Oh, and I looked at those upcoming negotiations with our ad buyer you– you mentioned and I was able to work some magic.

Nate: So, our mutual aid club is working.

Audra: Which is why I wanna get back to what I walked in on earlier: Victor’s drink invitation. He’s on to you.

Nate: We’re not concerned.

Audra: Well, he may not mind your relationship, but you don’t want him thinking that, you know, you are slacking on the job and encouraging victoria to do the same.

Nate: Victor doesn’t strike me as a clock watcher. He’s a man about results, not hours behind a desk.

Audra: Hm. If you say so.

Nate: Now, nick newman, on the other hand…

Audra: Yeah, he could definitely be an issue. You know, it’s clear he considers you a threat and that is not a man who will back off easily.

Nick: What is your real issue with sally? Because dad, this goes far beyond the protective father thing.

Victor: It’s very simple. You’re wasting your time and energy. You have other things to worry about.

Nick: Dad, you are the one who is fixated on this pregnant woman who has done nothing to you. You need to be focused on the threat that cameron poses.

Victor: And I am, and I will deal with that bastard, but you forget about sally spectra. You start paying attention to sharon and faith, who really need you. I’m here for the dunkin’ run, campaign, commercial.

Billy: What makes you think that I need something?

Chelsea: I can see the concern in your eyes.

Billy: I guess I’m a little knocked off my game. You know, it’s– it’s bad enough that the kids are gonna be gone at summer camp all– all summer, but… now victoria told me that the kids want to go to boarding school next fall and I’m sad and I’m confused because they don’t need me in the same way anymore.

Chelsea: Billy, that is hard. I’m sorry. And I wish I could fix it for you, but–

Billy: But you won’T.

Chelsea: No, but I will ask you a question that a very wise friend recently asked me. Do you want advice? Reassurance? Or just to vent?

Billy: Definitely the last two, with a double scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream.

Chelsea: Oh, my treat.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: Let’s go talk.

Victoria: Oh, hi. I’m glad you’re still here.

Nate: Then, why do you sound on edge?

[ Victoria sighing ]

Victoria: Well, my meeting was with billy and, um, we almost got into an argument. Well, we worked it out, but he made a jab that kinda got under my skin.

Nate: Why do I suspect it was about me?

Victoria: Well, it wasn’t about you, specifically. It was more the idea of us. I think that what we have is confusing to people. They can’t categorize it, so they– they don’t understand it.

Nate: They’re not wrong.

Victoria: What do you mean by that?

Nate: To some, it might look like we’re just colleagues with benefits.

Victoria: I consider you much more than that.

Nate: So, maybe we make it official. How about I take you on a date? And not another one of our working meetings.

Victoria: Are you serious? Like, cocktails and dinner?

Nate: Maybe even dessert and dancing.

Victoria: All right. You’re on.

Nick: You know, you just don’t understand my relationship with sally. That’s fine. Just keep it to yourself, all right? I’ve had it up to here with your judgment.

Victor: Really?

Nick: Yes, sir. Excuse me. I’ve got a lot to do.

Nikki: What happened?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. Um… to put it simply, our son is… spread too thin. He has a lot of things to deal with.

Nikki: Well, we both agree on that. I just don’t want his temper to get him into trouble.

Cameron: Jimmy, hey. Got a job for you. This one’s gonna require a face-to-face. Bring your right hook, you’re gonna need it.

[ Cameron breathing deeply ]
