Ashley: Good morning.

Jack: Morning.

Ashley: You sound serious. What’s wrong?

Diane: Uh, I think we should show her. Ah, she– she deserves to know.

Ashley: Show me what?  Where’d this come from?

Jack: It’s an article written by a reporter friend of mine, detailing Tucker’s coverup of the actions of the PR department while he was still running McCall.

Ashley: What’re you going to do with it?

Jack: I’m preparing to give the go-ahead to have it published.

Diane: It would have a wide release immediately.

Ashley: It’s a pretty big move. Too big if you ask me.

Jack: I disagree. I’ve come over to Billy’s way of thinking. We have to lower the boom on Tucker before he takes action against us.

Adam: Oh, hey! Morning… boss. Oop, my bad. Slip of the tongue.

Nate: Hilarious.

Adam: Hmm. So how is unemployment treating you?

Nate: I take comfort in the fact that I don’t have to work with you any more. That is a signifigant silver lining.

Adam: Oh, yeah, your shirts. They’re still at the dry cleaners, so you’re going to have pick them up now that I’m not your assistant any more.

Nate: Point taken.

Adam: Hmm? Oh, no, I’m just getting started. I mean, I feel like there’s a giant weight that’s been lifted off my shoulders. I don’t know what to do with myself now that I’m not responsible for your– your emails and your schedule–

Nate: You’re annoying as hell, but I’ve got to hand it to you. You took a risk, made a play and ended up surviving.

Adam: You mean when I told my father not to trust you when you were gonna ship him off to treatment?

Nate: I had his best interest at heart.

Adam: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

Nate: Only I wasn’t thinking of myself. Whereas we both know you were plotting to use victor’s illness to advance your own agenda. Without question.

Adam: Well, I guess we’ll never know for sure.

Nate: You’re the same self-serving bastard you’ve always been.

Adam: Yeah and you’re the guy out in the cold. It’s chilly, isn’t it?

Nate: You know that feeling just as much as I do, if not more.

Adam: Nate, congrats. You played the game and you lost, okay? Bottom line is, I know my father better than you.

Nate: Obviously, not well enough to see through his ruse. Victor had us all completely convinced that he was losing his mind. He had everyone fooled, particularly you.

Victor: Sweetheart, are you still planning to take that trip?

Nikki: Yes. As long as you promise me to handle things with victoria.

Victor: I will take care of things, okay? But I think it’ll be good for you to get away.

Nikki: Yes, I do too. What you said about the family makes a lot of sense. I– I am so sick of all this infighting. Be good to get a bit of a break.

Victor: Sweetheart, it’s important for you to get away, okay? You really need to take a break. Besides that, how wonderful will it be to see your sister, casey? And by the way that aunt jordan, that aunt of claire’s will be happy to see you.

Nikki: Well, claire is such a terrific assistant. She has done so much for me in just a short amount of time, so I will do this for her. And I’m sure she’s gonna get a kick out of the newman jet.

Victor: And I promise that I will, you know, handle things with nicholas and victoria and adam.

Nikki: I won’t mind missing that.

Victor: Obviously, it’s a problem of my making. My responsibility to deal with it and I shall. Even if I have to force them to cooperate.

Claire: Yes, everything is set. We fly out later today. Yes, I understand. I know how important this is. Yes, of course. I’ll do whatever’s necessary.

Victor: I wanna thank you both for coming.

Nick: You called, dad. What’s up?

Victoria: Yeah. What is this about? More tricks and deceptions to see if you can try to test our loyalty?

Victor: I want to make clear to both of you where things stand in regard to the company after what happened with nate hastings.

Nick: You mean his firing?

Victoria: And the fact that you’re not actually losing your mental faculties.

Victor: I want you both to know that I have no intentions of vacating this chair. I will remain as the head of newman enterprises, okay? And I am hoping that both of you will agree to work alongside with me.

Nick: Normally, I wouldn’t be so quick to forgive you for your latest ruse, but it did prove to be effective in revealing what nate’s true intentions were.

Victor: It’s a tactic I had to use.

Nick: Okay. Well, I think it would be best if we attempt to put this behind us and move forward peacefully as a family.

Victor: I agree with you. How about you, victoria?

Victoria: It’s not gonna be so easy for me.

Victor: All right. Because of your feelings for nate hastings?

Victoria: It was difficult enough that you didn’t trust me and that you felt you couldn’t confide in me about your health, but you’re not being fair about nate, dad.

Victor: I had to uncover who the traitor was and it turned out to be nate hastings.

Victoria: I’ve spoken to nate, all right. You may not agree with his plan, but his motives are very sincere.

Victor: No, they’re not.

Nick: I didn’t trust him either, vic.

Victoria: Well, that’s not a big surprise. You’ve always had a problem with nate.

Nick: With good reason. He showed what he truly is at heart and that is an opportunist.

Victor: He made a power grab for you and for himself, at your father’s expense.

Victoria: He cares about your well-being, dad. He was looking out for you and the stability of this company.

Victor: That’s nonsense. Now, if you agreed with his plan, then why did you go along with adams?

Victoria: Because you’re my father. I didn’t want to see you sent away. It’s not fair to you. It’s not fair to any of us.

Victor: You still have feelings for nate hastings, don’t you?

Victoria: So once again, you’re questioning my judgment? You seem to have lost all faith in me, dad.

Adam: Look, I understand victor’s aim. He was trying to uncover bad intentions, which you clearly had.

Nate: When I believed your father was sick, I wanted him to receive the best care and attention possible. That’s why I pushed for the suggestion I made. You know, I wonder if things really paid off for you in all of this. Did victor offer you a promotion for convincing him of your– your goodwill?

Adam: The details are still in the works.

Nate: That sounds like an evasion.

Adam: No, I have proven myself to my father. First, as being your assistant, and now by protecting him from an enemy, and that is you.

Nate: And yet, victor hasn’t rewarded you. Which leads me to believe he doesn’t trust you any more than he now trusts me.

Adam: Nate, you and I, we’re not in the same boat.

Nate: Well, since I’m out as you so graciously put it, you can no longer be my assistant.

Adam: What a tragedy.

Nate: Which means that technically, you’re as much out of a job as I am. That’s interesting. With my fall, yours seems to have arrived as well.

Mamie: Gentlemen.

Nate: Hello, aunt mamie.

Mamie: Am I interrupting anything?

Adam: Nope. We are done here. Nice to see you, mamie. Enjoy your breakfast.

Mamie: That’s miss m to you. What was that all about?

Ashley: Were you planning on telling me about this? Or were you just going to share it with the world and then deal with the ramifications after?

Jack: Oh, as I recall, you have shared a number of things with the press without consulting me first. Like the fact that you and tucker were starting a new company together.

Ashley: That was in response to you giving diane here a major role in our family company without telling who? Oh, right, the entire family!

Jack: Ashley.

Diane: All right. All right. Just take a breath, please. I don’t think we should turn on each other right now.

Ashley: We?

Diane: Jack, I think we should listen to what ashley has to say. Her concerns are valid.

Ashley: Well, thank you, diane.

Jack: Careful.

Ashley: Look, all I’m saying, jack, if you share this with the world, if you have it published, it’s just gonna make tucker angrier than he already is. You said yourself that he knows you have incriminating information on him that’s keeping him at bay. On top of that, he’s got nothing to lose. He’s not even running mccall anymore.

Diane: And from what jack told me, uh, it sounds like tucker is not concerned what you think about him anymore either.

Ashley: Okay. Well, I’m not sure that’s true.

Jack: But you don’t have any proof that it isn’T.

Ashley: It’s a feeling, okay? Regardless, tucker doesn’t have anything going on for himself right now. He has nothing to show for himself. Do you really think a public smackdown’s gonna do that much damage?

Jack: It would do something to let him know we are not afraid of him.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. Well, you know, you are afraid and I’m pretty sure he knows that.

Jack: I hate that tucker thinks he has us all squirming here.

Ashley: Okay. If you have that published, it’s going to just tell him that you are squirming, jack. That you need to put tucker in his place and you’ll do anything to make it happen.

Jack: I’m not gonna just sit here and do nothing, ashley.

Ashley: Just give me some more time. I can handle this. Please, trust me.

Jack: I’m not convinced of that.

Ashley: I’m begging you. Give me just a little more time, all right? I’m convinced I can make some inroads with him.

Diane: You know, I think a little more time wouldn’t hurt.

Jack: Fine. You’re playing with fire. I don’t want to see you get burned.

Ashley: Okay. Thank you. And please don’t underestimate me. I am not ready to admit defeat. Goodbye.

Chloe: Oh, this is perfect.

Sally: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for meeting with me. I know I’m taking you away from work.

Chloe: Ah, it’s really not a problem. So, I want to hear all about business. How is interior design treating you? It seems like it’s going well.

Sally: Yeah, it– it is. Uh, daniel has been on board with my vision for his new apartment. And you were a huge help in selling it to him.

Chloe: Oh, please. I mean, that– that was nothing. I saw the beautiful picture you are painting and I mean, it was genius, per usual, and I was just able to translate it further.

Sally: Well, having you by my side and bouncing off ideas…

Chloe: Finishing each other’s thoughts.

Sally: I realized that there is a really important element missing from my business.

Chloe: Oh, really? What’s that?

Sally: You. I don’t want to do this without you.

Chloe: You mean it?

Sally: Yeah, your perspective is invaluable and your taste is impeccable. And I value your opinion about everything.

Chloe: Really? I mean, I’m– I’m kind of amazing, so thank you for noticing it.

Sally: Look, okay. I– I– I recognize that you are currently working somewhere else, but would you be willing to come back and work with me?

Chloe: Um, you know, I actually just had a conversation with summer and chelsea and I told them I didn’t think it was working out.

Sally: Wow. I– I knew that you said things were bad, but I didn’t realize how bad they’d gotten.

Chloe: Well, you know, summer and I, we do not see eye to eye when it comes to selling fashion, let alone designing it. And I just got the sense that things were not going to be any smoother or get any better over there.

Sally: Well, could summer’s loss be my gain?

Chloe: I mean, if that’s your actual offer then uh, yes. A 100 times, yes. Yes.

Sally: Yay.

Chloe: Yes. Yes.

Sally and chloe: Yay.

Chloe: Oh, my god. Sally? Is everything okay?

[ Sally sighing ]

Mamie: So, what was that tension with adam newman all about? With somebody who’s supposed to be your assistant, he seems a bit full of himself.

Nate: Things exploded at newman in a way I didn’t see coming, aunt mamie.

Mamie: Wanna talk about it?

Nate: I tried to do the smart thing. For victor, for his family and for the company.

Mamie: Oh, this sounds like it may be one of those no good deed goes unpunished scenarios.

Nate: I was the victim of a ruse. Accused of being a traitor, then cast aside. It reminded me how victor usually operates.

Mamie: Are you saying that victor fired you? He is ruthless. He takes down everything in his path.

Nate: I’ve been thinking about what you said about me not being a newman. How eventually that would catch up to me at newman enterprises.

Mamie: I won’t say I told you so and I take no pleasure in saying that I was right, in this case.

Nate: You were right about a lot of things, aunt mamie. The newmans will always protect their own, even at the expense of others. I want no part of that anymore.

Mamie: Well, I’m sorry that you’ve been put through the wringer. I can’t help but see the bright side.

Nate: Bright side? Well, you better tell me what that is because I have no clue.

Mamie: You’re a free agent. You can return to chancellor-winters where you belong.

Victor: Well, at least now you can take the necessary steps.

Victoria: And what is that?

Victor: Get rid of nate hastings. You don’t need him. He’s not good for you.

Victoria: So, I see that once again, you’re determined to control my personal life as well as my professional one.

Victor: Let me be very frank with you. Almost hurts me to say this. But your choice in men has always been most questionable to me. Billy boy abbott. J.T. Hellstrom. Ashland locke. Now, nate hastings?

Victoria: If my personal relationships are going to be a problem for you, then maybe we shouldn’t be discussing my role–

Victor: That’s nonsense. You belong with this company, with this family. Get rid of nate hastings and you’ll be able to focus on what is important. Son, are you with us?

Nick: Absolutely, dad. I’m back. I’m all in.

Victor: I’m glad to hear that. How about you? Health insuran

Diane: Look, I hope you’re not angry with me for letting ashley in on our plans to expose tucker.

Jack: No. No, I’m not angry at you. You’re right. We– we should tell her. Just I hate that she’s being so stubborn about this.

Diane: Well, maybe ashley’s right about tucker’s mindset. And jack, we haven’t had any luck disarming tucker. Maybe ashley’s our best bet.

Jack: I feel like I’m sending my sister back to the lion’s den. I don’t want her anywhere near this man.

Diane: Well, that’s her choice. And if ashley’s concerned about tucker’s reaction to us releasing the damning information, then maybe we should listen to her.

Jack: You really think so?

Diane: I know you’re surprised that I see her side in this, but ashley thinks she knows tucker better than anyone, so let’s just do things her way. Just give her some leeway to see what she can get out of tucker.

[ Jack groaning ] All right. Well, what else? What are you not saying? What’s bothering you?

Jack: There is another reason I want ashley to stay as far away from this man as possible.

Diane: Well, if you’re worried about tucker manipulating her, I don’t think you need to be. Ashley can take care of herself.

Jack: No, that’s not it. Ashley is not as in control of her feelings for tucker as she claims. I am worried that she will fall for him all over again.

Ashley: You’re hugging the life out of me.

Abby: I need proof. I need proof that you’re actually here. That you’re home. I haven’t seen you much since you’ve come back.

Ashley: Well, that’s not my fault. You’re the one who’s so busy getting everything ready for the holidays.

Abby: Well, I’m just relieved that you’re here. I’ve been really worried about you.

Ashley: You’re always worried about me. I’m fine. I promise. I’m so happy to be here with you.

Abby: Well, I am happy that you’re here through the holidays because I’m very excited about thanksgiving.

Ashley: Yeah, me too.

Abby: So, how are you really? I mean, how does it feel to be back? Have you had any uncomfortable encounters with tucker? I mean, hopefully, he’s so upset that he’s keeping his distance.

Ashley: I’m not gonna lie to you. I did reach out to him. Just so I could find out what he’s planning.

Abby: I don’t like that. I don’t like the sound of that at all. Mom, you need to stay away from tucker and all of his chaos. And god forbid you upset him even more.

Ashley: I don’t think that’s even possible.

Abby: Then, mom, just stay away from him. Look, maybe he has shifted his focus from the abbotts and jabot. Just let him go.

Ashley: What do you mean he’s shifted his focus?

Abby: Devon and lily seem to think that he is behind mamie’s return to town and her investment in chancellor-winters.

Ashley: What? Are you saying that tucker and mamie are working together?

Abby: I don’t know. I mean, they think that he has some sort of plan, they just don’t know what the plan is yet.

Ashley: Okay. That makes sense because when– when tucker and I were together, his dream was to get chancellor-winters for devon and then jabot for me.

Abby: Oh, a trio of love and family.

Ashley: Well, yeah, that’s pretty much what he wanted it to be actually. So, maybe it could be the same agenda, but with a different planned outcome.

Abby: But what would tucker have to gain from disrupting his son’s company?

Ashley: Well, he could still get chancellor-winters for devon. Find a way to oust jill and I know that mamie would love that. And maybe he could still try to get revenge on jabot. I don’t know.

Abby: Or maybe he’s just forgotten about his revenge against the abbotts and jabot and maybe he really does want to focus on his family.

Ashley: Mm. Wouldn’t that be nice? Nothing is ever that simple with tucker.

Victoria: I am still furious with you, dad. For the games that you played with all of us.

Victor: You have made that amply clear.

Victoria: I’m really not interested in arguing about this anymore. So, despite your actions and my frustration, I can’t turn my back on newman enterprises. I refuse to step aside. This company is strong and a large part of that is due to my input and to my leadership.

Nick: I absolutely agree with that.

Victor: So do I.

Victoria: I’m not gonna watch all my hard fought efforts go to waste.

Victor: I’m glad you’ve come around.

Victoria: Dad, you have to know that this doesn’t make everything all right between us. You have to understand that you’re gonna have to work very hard to earn my trust back.

Victor: And that, my darling, goes both ways, okay? Remember that. Now, happy to realize that you’re savvy enough to know that this is where you belong.

Victoria: I do. But there is one caveat to my decision. If adam is given a power role in this company again, you can count me out.

Nikki: Oh, good, you’re here. Are you ready?

Claire: Packed and set.

Nikki: Oh, have you talked to your aunt? How’s she getting along with that broken arm?

Claire: Ah, it’s difficult. She doesn’t like anything to slow her down.

Nikki: Well, no, I can’t blame her, but I am looking forward to meeting the woman who raised such an amazing person.

Claire: Aunt jordan is gonna be so grateful.

Nikki: Now, you are gonna have to arrange for your own flight back to genoa city because once I leave blue lake, I’m going straight to napa to see my sister.

Claire: Of course, that won’t be a problem.

Nikki: Well, we will leave as soon as I finish up a few things here. And I want to change out of my work clothes. We’re not going on a business trip, so why not travel in comfort?

Claire: Thank you again, nikki. My aunt is just gonna be so thrilled.

Nikki: I’m so glad. I have a few phone calls to make. Um, please finish up whatever you’re working on and then we’re off.

Claire: Sounds good. Thank you again.

Nikki: Uh-huh. (Vo) red lobster’s new lobster & shrimp celebration

Nick: I’m with vic. I don’t think adam should be given any kind of leadership role.

Victor: Listen carefully. I’m going to say to you what I told adam. He will remain at newman enterprises and he will be given an important position.

Victoria: Even though he doesn’t deserve it?

Victor: I am sick and tired of the animosity between the three of you. You are siblings for god’s sake.

Nick: Adam has never shown any brotherly loyalty, ever.

Victor: Son, this is not up for debate. I’m fed up with the conflict between the three of you. I will do everything in my power to solve it. Count on it.

Chloe: What was that?

Sally: What was what?

Chloe: That look between you and adam? I saw that exchange and then I saw you go all dazed and confused.

Sally: No, I didn’T.

Chloe: Yes, you did. It was like you got all flustered, but not in a bad way. I saw that look and it wasn’t even anger, it wasn’t even friction. In fact, I even think I saw him smile.

Sally: Okay. It’s not that big of a deal. It was just a glance.

Chloe: No, it wasn’T. It was a deep, loaded look with a lot of emotion and history. Oh, no, no, no. Please tell me that things aren’t starting up again between you and adam?

Sally: No, absolutely not.

Chloe: Are you sure?

Sally: Chloe, please.

Chloe: I hope you mean it, that it’s not because you know, that would be a very bad idea, right?

Sally: Yes, I know. You do not like adam. You have made that very clear.

Chloe: You’ve just separated from nick. Your emotions are raw. You are likely overwhelmed and confused.

Sally: All true.

Chloe: It’s adam. Adam equals bad.

Sally: Yeah, look. Seriously, it’s– it’s not that big of a deal, okay? I– I just spaced for a second. It’s just, really, it’s nothing to worry about.

Chloe: Okay.

Sally: Okay. So, let’s talk about more important things like when are you coming back to work with me?

Chloe: Okay, I– you know what? I just need to go finalize my departure with marchetti. Um, so maybe when we’re done here, I’ll head over and get everything sorted.

Sally: Great. Then we will work out a deal for you with sally spectra designs.

Chloe: I can’t wait. Things are finally looking up.

Sally: I could not agree more.

Nate: My return to chancellor-winters is nowhere near guaranteed. But I did have a promising encounter with devon yesterday.

Nate: My return to chancellor-winters is nowhere near guaranteed. But I did have a promising encounter with devon yesterday.

Mamie: Oh, I’m so happy to hear that.

Nate: Devon appears poised to give me another chance.

Mamie: Then, we should seize the moment.

Nate: Okay. Well, go ahead because I’m sure you have an idea of how to do that.

Mamie: Well, I think our next step is that the four of us should sit down together as a family. You, me, lily, and devon. And then, we can discuss the possibility of your returning to chancellor-winters.

Nate: That may be tricky. Lily and devon are sharp. They’re gonna wonder why I’m leaving newman. Ask a lot of questions.

Mamie: Well, then you’ll just attest that you did the right thing and got bamboozled by victor. And nobody who knows him is gonna be surprised by that.

Nate: Still, I’m not sure they will accept my explanation.

Mamie: Don’t sell yourself short. This is our chance. Oh, I’m feeling really good about this.

Ashley: I have to admit that tucker does have a more valid interest in chancellor-winters. More than jabot.

Abby: Because of katherine?

Ashley: Yeah. I mean, he’s her son. And I can’t tell you how many times he said he never understood why jill had control of that company.

Abby: Well, katherine had to have her reasons for not leaving the company to tucker. And then for leaving dad in charge.

Ashley: Then, jill got her grubby little hands on it.

Abby: I didn’t realize you disliked jill so much.

Ashley: Yes, you did. She’s jill. You know how annoying she is. Of course, she’s billy’s mother, so I tried, but I never really appreciated her relationship with your grandfather.

Abby: Mom, I’m not trying to disregard your feelings, but just because you don’t like jill doesn’t mean she should have her company taken from her.

Ashley: Maybe it never should have been her company.

Abby: Mom.

Ashley: I’m just saying if tucker isn’t focused on getting chancellor-winters, then maybe he should be. It makes more sense than jabot.

Abby: Whoa. I do not like the sound of that, because that route leads to devon and whatever move he makes, that could really affect devon.

Ashley: No, listen, tucker would never do anything to hurt him.

Abby: This whole thing with mamie, I mean, it already is hurting devon. I mean, he’s very upset by all of this and he really doesn’t trust anyone’s motives.

Ashley: Yeah. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe tucker will just focus on chancellor-winters and it’ll keep jabot out of his sights.

Abby: Or maybe his plan is already in motion. And mamie coming back to town and her investment in the company is all a part of that plan.

Ashley: You know what? I still can’t believe this about mamie. I can’t believe she’s doing this. Not unless she has another agenda of her own.

Abby: Even if tucker has his sights set on chancellor-winters, I’m starting to think that maybe he still wants revenge on you and the abbotts.

Ashley: You’re worrying about me again, aren’t you?

Abby: I just think you need to stay as far away from tucker as possible. I’m worried that you’re getting in deep with this guy again and it terrifies me.

Ashley: Okay. Stop, stop, stop. I promise you, I will never not be in control with tucker again. Inez, let me ask you, you’re using head and shoulders, right? Only when I see flakes. Then I switch back to my regular shampoo. You should use it every wash, otherwise the flakes will come back. Tiny troy: He’s right, you know. Is that tiny troy? The ingredients in head and shoulders keep the microbes that cause flakes at bay. Microbes, really? They’re always on your scalp… little rascals… but good news, there’s no itchiness, dryness or flakes down here! I love tiny troy. And his tiny gorgeous hair. He’s the best. – Make every wash count!

– Little help please. Feeling sluggish or weighed down? Could be a sign you’re not getting enough daily fiber. Metamucil capsules can help. Psyllium fiber gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down. Promoting digestive health, for a better you. Metamucil capsules an easy way to get more daily fiber.

Claire: Well, here it is. It’s nothing like the newman ranch, but it’s home.

Nikki: Oh, my gosh. I think it’s just charming.

Claire: I thought you would.

Nikki: Huh. So, um, where is your great aunt?

Claire: I’d say she’s probably out sitting in her chair by the water.

Nikki: Ah.

Claire: Oh, wait. It’s from aunt jordan. “At the doctor’S. Tina next door, gave me a ride. Will be home soon. Enjoy a spot of tea while you wait.”

Nikki: Oh, sweet.

Claire: That is aunt jordan for you. She loves her tea.

Nikki: As do I. After traveling, tea will just hit the spot.

Claire: Please sit down. Let me get you some.

Nikki: Thank you. Oh, thank you.

Claire: I doubt my great-aunt will be very long.

Nikki: Well, it’s nice that she has neighbors to help her out.

Claire: Especially after her fall. She scares me to death sometimes, but she’ll never leave this place. It means too much to her.

Nikki: Well, I can see why. It’s a beautiful drive out here. All the open spaces and the scenery.

Claire: Yeah. It was a great place to grow up. Plenty of space to roam as long as I had my bear bell.

Nikki: Mm. Very important.

Claire: Yes. And, uh, plenty of friends from the houses nearby to run around with. And with the lake just outside, there’s always tons of stuff to do.

Nikki: Hm. Now, what kind of lake activities did you do?

Claire: Everything. Fishing, paddle boarding, swimming, kayaking. My aunt had to practically drag me away every night.

Nikki: I can imagine. You sounded, uh, pretty adventurous back in those days. So, tell me, did you ever get in any trouble out there?

Claire: I’ll never tell.

Nikki: Oh, good answer.

[ Both chuckling ]

Claire: Growing up here, uh, the neighborhood had its own version of a block party. Every house would have food and some sort of game to play.

Nikki: Oh, wow. That sounds like fun.

Claire: It was. One year, I was really into trying things in the kitchen at the time and I decided to make a dish, experimenting with chili pepper and hot sauce.

Nikki: Uh-oh.

Claire: It was terrible.

Nikki: I can only imagine.

Claire: I was single-handedly responsible for burning the mouths of each and every neighbor.

Nikki: Oh, my goodness.

Claire: Yeah. And for years, no one would even glance at anything else I made.

Nikki: Well, no, they were smart.

Claire: They were terrified.

Nikki: So, um, what did your aunt think about that?

Claire: She was not pleased. She instructed me to immediately hang up my apron and throw out all my spices.

[ Nikki laughing ]

Nikki: Oh, my goodness. Hey, this tea is very different. What kind is it?

Claire: I couldn’t say.

Nikki: Oh, you haven’t even touched yours?

Claire: Little secret. Not much of a tea drinker.

Nikki: Oh.

Claire: It is more aunt jordan’s thing.

Nikki: Ah. A woman after my own heart.

Claire: For sure.

Nikki: Oh, my.

Claire: What is it?

Nikki: I don’t know. I– I guess maybe the flight made me lightheaded.

Claire: Really? It was such a short trip.

Nikki: I– I– I really don’t feel well all of a sudden.

Claire: Would you like a water bottle?

Nikki: Yes. Yes. Water, please. Mm. Oh, my god. I– I am so sorry.

Claire: Don’t be.

Nikki: Oh. Uh, is something wrong?

Claire: Not at all.

Nikki: I– I– I really don’t feel well at all.

Claire: It’s okay. Soon, everything will be as it should.

Nikki: What? What– what do you mean? Mm. Oh! I don’t understand. What is happening? What? What is happening?

Sharon: Hi, elena. How’s chance? That’s good news. Oh, thank you so much for the update. Yes, I plan on coming to see him tomorrow morning. Okay. Well, maybe I’ll see you then. Thank you again so much, elena. I know that chance is in good hands. Night.

Nick: Sharon.

Sharon: Oh, hi, nick.

Nick: What’s up? What’s going on with chance?

Sharon: Chance was shot tonight working a case.

Nick: How bad is it?

Sharon: He’s going to be all right. No vital organs or anything like that. The bullet went right through.

Nick: Thank god. I mean, it’s still terrible.

Sharon: Yeah. He was just made chief. This promotion was supposed to keep him out of the line of fire. So much for spending more time behind a desk and spending less time out in the field with criminals. This was supposed to keep him safe. Anyway, that was elena. She said that chance is awake and that he’s stable. It was so scary getting that call, nick.

Nick: I can imagine.

Sharon: I’m surprised this wasn’t on the news.

Nick: You know, it may have been. I– I haven’t been listening or watching. I’ve been dealing with some family stuff.

Sharon oh, so you haven’t talked to summer then?

Nick: Summer? Uh, no. Why?

Sharon: Well, she was at the hospital.

Nick: Okay. Uh, yeah, I know, um, she and chance have been getting friendlier. Um, I’m surprised she went to the hospital though. It must have been very concerning and scary.

Sharon: Of course. So, what’s going on with your family?

Nick: Dad finally admitted to everyone what I had already figured out. That his confusion or whatever it is you want to call it was just an act.

Sharon: So he was looking for a traitor?

Nick: He definitely found one.

Sharon: And who walked into the trap? Or do I already know?

Nikki: Oh, victoria, what is it?

Victoria: Are you serious?

Nikki: What I am is exhausted.

Victoria: Oh, yeah. I– I can imagine how draining it must have been keeping such an ugly secret from all of us.

Nikki: Okay. You know, it’s late. I want to send claire home. I want to convince your father to do the same.

Victoria: Yeah. I’ll bet– I’ll bet that dad has a lot to celebrate. I bet he’s feeling really on top of his game right now after deceiving all of us. Of course not you. No, not you.

Nikki: I know you are upset. We have to talk about this tomorrow.

Victoria: Why? What will it matter? What will it change? Dad exploited our concerns and our fears for what? A trap? That he suspected that one of us would fall into? I mean, does he have that little of faith in me? And you, you just let him do it.

Nikki: Let me tell you this. It’s not like your father consulted with me before beginning this charade. And then when he finally did tell me, I let him know how much I disagreed with it.

Victoria: Oh, okay. And yet– and yet you said nothing. You did nothing. Mom, how could you do that? How could you let dad trick us like that? Look, I know you don’t trust adam. I get it. And I know– I know you don’t trust nate.

Nikki: Well, I can’t believe you still do after what we just heard.

Victoria: I’ve accepted his explanation.

Nikki: He practically had your father already put away.

Victoria: Okay, mom. I am not gonna get into defending nate with you. I’m not gonna do it. This is about what you did to me. Did you really think that not telling me was a good idea?

Nikki: I didn’T.

Victoria: But you went along with dad anyway. I was worried sick about what seemed to be happening to dad!

Nikki: Your father insisted that you not know the truth until it was the right time. And he wanted to be the one to tell you.

Victoria: Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah. And you always do what dad tells you to do. I know that’s not true, mom. I couldn’t sleep at night. I was worried about him. I thought I was going to lose my father. How could you do that to me?

[ Adam sighing ]

Victor: Yes, son?

Adam: You never gave me an answer before.

Victor: And answer to what?

Adam: Nate’s out. You want nick to come back and work for newman enterprises, so where does that leave me?

Victor: You know, quite frankly, I haven’t decided yet.

Adam: I see. Any timetable on when you will?

Victor: Um, son, I gotta be honest with you. I suspected it would be you who would take advantage of my mental decline.

Adam: You mean your pretend mental decline? Because I’m just that predictable?

Victor: Well, I’m not gonna argue that point, but having said that, I’m very happy that you did not betray me.

Adam: I am happy too, pop.

Victor: In fact, son, you protected me. I appreciate that.

Adam: Well, I’m grateful that you recognize that.

Victor: Yep.

Adam: Now, since you have been straight with me and I appreciate that, I’m gonna be straight with you too.

Victor: You know that I appreciate people being honest with me.

Adam: Well, you’re gonna get it. Brutal honesty.

Victor: Oh, yeah? Then bring it on.

Adam: You know, I told you that I wanted to start at newman from the bottom and I wanted to work my way up.

Victor: You did. Uh-huh.

Adam: It was all a lie. From the very beginning, okay? I was angry and I was hurt. You dismissed me from the joint venture with nick and sharon and that hurts. That hurt a lot.

Victor: So, you wanted revenge?

Adam: Yes.

Victor: Ah.

Adam: I thought that I would talk my way back into newman enterprises and I would show you how contrite I was. I would start at any low-level job and I would talk my way back into the family company. And once I was in there, I was going to find any way to tear it apart.

Victor: So, now you know why I set a trap, right?

Adam: So, you knew?

Victor: Let’s say I had my suspicions.

Adam: Well, then I wasn’t as successful as I thought. I wanted to lull you into believing that my intentions were real. And then when the opportunity presented itself, to strike you or victoria, I would be in the perfect position to do that.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Right.

Adam: You know, we had those conversations about what you wanted for me, what you hoped that I would become.

Victor: All of that is true.

Adam: I know. And then I started to think about how I’d hurt you over the years and how many times that I’ve let you down. I mean, how many times have we done this, you and I? A truce? And then something almost like a father and son.

Victor: Almost.

Adam: Yeah. Because I wanted to be a member of this family. I wanted to truly fit in. To be a part of this company. This– this amazing entity that you have built. But I fought it. And instead, I held on to anger and that hurt and that rage. Until you started exhibiting some extremely disturbing behavior. And it all changed.

Nikki: Victoria, I deeply regret keeping your father’s secret. I didn’t want to, but he was adamant. You know how he gets when he digs his heels in.

Victoria: You didn’t have to listen to him.

Nikki: Oh, my god. How many times do I have to tell you I didn’t want to go along with this? But he convinced me that if you knew the truth, you would tell nate everything.

Victoria: Oh, so it was all about nate?

Nikki: And in some way, I understood his logic. That’s the only reason I kept it from you.

Victoria: Because you despise nate.

Nikki: I do not despise him. I don’t trust him. I never have. And now, you see why? So, I hope your eyes have been opened. You understand that you can never trust nate, right?

Nick: It wasn’t adam. Though that makes sense. I thought if anyone was going to betray my dad, it would be my brother.

Sharon: Well, who then?

Nick: Nate’s the traitor.

Sharon: Nate? Really? He’s a doctor. He wouldn’t think of using victor’s mental decline against him?

Nick: He’s not a doctor anymore, sharon. He is a businessman and he has learned to be very, very ruthless.

Sharon: I can’t believe this.

Nick: I can. I’ve been saying it from the beginning, that he couldn’t be trusted. He staged a coup in his own family’s company. Why in the hell would anyone think that he wouldn’t try the same thing at newman?

Sharon: Why indeed? What was he after?

Nick: To get my dad out of the way so vic could be back in charge and then nate could be her second in command.

Sharon: Get victor out of the way how?

Nick: Ship him off to some clinic so they could test him to find out what was wrong with him. And I’m sure nate could have convinced the doctors to stretch out the treatment and diagnosis.

Sharon: Well, maybe nate thought that was the best course of action, given what he believed was wrong.

Nick: It’s the best course of action for nate. Dad could have been treated and diagnosed at home.

Sharon: This is just so outrageous.

Nick: Yeah, it is. But thank god, dad finally fired nate.

Sharon: Hm. Well, it sounds like things are really a mess over at newman. Maybe even more so than before.

Nick: Yeah, you could say that.

Sharon: So, what’s victor’s plan to clean it up? What happens next?

Nick: I need to talk to you about that. I’m not just accomplished. I am accomplishing. So I’m doing all I can to help lower my risk of breaking a bone.

For postmenopausal women

with osteoporosis

at high risk for fracture

taking calcium and vitamin

d may not be enough.

Adding prolia is proven

to help strengthen bones

and reduce spine fracture

risk by 68%

with 1 shot every 6 months.

Do not take prolia

if you have low blood calcium,

are pregnant,

are allergic to it,

or take xgeva.

Serious allergic reactions

like low blood pressure,

trouble breathing,

throat tightness, face,

lip or tongue swelling,

rash, itching

or hives have happened.

Tell your doctor about

dental problems

as severe jaw bone problems

may happen with prolia,

or about pain in your hip,

groin, or thigh,

as unusual thigh bone

fractures have occurred.

Talk to your doctor

before stopping, skipping,

or delaying prolia,

as spine and other fractures

have occurred.

Serious side effects,

like low blood calcium,

serious infections which

could need hospitalization,

skin problems,

and severe bone, joint,

or muscle pain have occurred. I have so much more to accomplish.

Talk to your doctor

about prolia. Oh, hello! Hi! Do you know that every load of laundry could be worth as much as $300? Really? And your clothes just keep getting more damaged the more times you wash them.

Downy protects fibers,

doing more than

detergent alone. See? This one looks brand new. Saves me money? I’

Nick: Now that nate’s out, my dad wants me to return to newman.

Sharon: Well, that’s to be expected. He wants you in that executive suite. He always has.

Nick: Yeah.

Sharon: Are you considering it?

Nick: I mean, right now, vic is not in the state of mind to make any objective or rational decisions.

Sharon: That’s understandable.

Nick: And while adam did the unexpected thing and did not betray our father, you think that was a deliberate choice or did he just get lucky?

Sharon: I guess I believe, despite everything, that adam has always loved her father.

Nick: Yeah, maybe. Right now, dad thinks he can trust adam, but I know for a fact, adam’s gonna do something to try and turn this into his advantage.

Sharon: So, what are you really trying to tell me, nick?

Nick: Just my dad doesn’t seem to have any allies right now, except for my mom.

Sharon: So, you’re considering a return to newman enterprises, aren’t you?

Victoria: I don’t want to talk about nate anymore.

Nikki: Honey, you are going to have to face it. Nate came to this company after betraying his own family.

Victoria: I know and dad trusted him, even after he knew what nate did to devon and lily. So, what has changed? Why is dad always, without question, always right?

Nikki: Because nate had an agenda.

Victoria: Everyone we know has an agenda, mom.

Nikki: Well, honey, you’re not involved with everyone, you’re involved with nate. So, where do things stand now?

Claire: I’m so sorry to interrupt, nikki. I just– I got a call and it’s kind of an emergency.

Victoria: I’ll leave you two to whatever it is.

Nikki: Victoria, please don’t do anything rash.

Victoria: I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

Claire: I’m so sorry. It sounded like you were in the middle of something important.

Nikki: No, no, no, it’ll work itself out. So, what has you so upset? Who called? What’s the emergency?

Victor: So everything changed you say. In what way?

Adam: When I– when I thought that you were losing your grasp on reality, my plan to destroy everything newman went out the window. Okay? None of it mattered. Couldn’t even think about it. The only thing that I could think about was trying to protect you. And hopefully, helping you get better. You know, I haven’t– I haven’t had the time with you that nicholas and victoria have had. So, I– I wasn’t ready to lose you. Even if the rest of our days were destined to butt heads and fight.

Victor: So, are you upset now that I set a trap for everyone?

Adam: I should be. I bet victoria is. But no, I actually think it was a masterful move.

Victor: Hm.

Adam: And it was warranted.

Victor: Yeah.

Adam: I mean, let’s be honest. Uh, I think nikki’s in the clear, probably nick. But me, victoria, and nate, we all had reasons to exploit your illness for personal gain.

Victor: Explain that.

Adam: Well, you know how victoria feels about you stepping back in as ceo, demoting her. And she’s your daughter, she’s ruthless. She’s ambitious. She’s willing to go to any lengths to get what she wants, just like you. Even if you won’t to accept that kind of behavior from anybody else. And nate, I don’t need to explain to you what his agenda is or reasons. You just outed him.

Victor: Yep. Indeed.

Adam: I mean, how ambitious can that guy be? You just cut off his path the top. He envisioned himself being king to my sister’s queen. If he could just get her to sit in that big chair, he would ascend right along with her.

Victor: You think like your father.

Adam: But I understand why you don’t find me trustworthy. So, now that we’ve been honest with each other, let me get back to my original question. What happens to me now? My mom’s alzheimer’s never

Victor: So tell me, do you think it’s still a good idea for you to work your way up from the bottom at newman?

Adam: No, it was– it was bogus, remember? I don’t think that I need to do that.

Victor: And why not?

Adam: I’ve had several executive positions here. Hell, I’ve run this company. I– I don’t think there’s anything that I could learn from assisting somebody who has a fraction of the business experience that I do, okay? It was a very clever ruse. And if I hadn’t thought you were sick, I might still be playing it out.

Victor: Really?

Adam: Look, the point is I’m not playing it out. And I was the one with a smart solution to your problem. So, the way that I see it, I think at the very least, I deserve nate’s position.

Victor: Really.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Problem is if victoria remains number two, then if you took over nate’s position, that would cause a lot of friction. And I don’t want that around me.

Adam: So, what are you saying?

Victor: You and victoria need to work out your differences.

Adam: Well, that’s– that’s– that’s easy enough. What about nick?

Victor: Well, I need to know where nicholas stands. But none of this is either or.

Adam: So, I– I’m always gonna be third in line to the throne?

Victor: What do you think?

Adam: Oh man, does it– does it really matter what I think? Nicholas and victoria will always outrank me, no matter how many times I prove myself to you.

Sharon: You are, aren’t you? You’re considering going back to newman enterprises? Of course, you are. You always look out for your family. You’re always ready to step in as savior at a moment’s notice.

Nick: I’m also very quick to call them out.

Sharon: I know.

Nick: Yes, I’m fast to protect my family, but sharon, I really feel like that is my job.

Sharon: Hey, it wasn’t a criticism. I’ve known you a long time. This is a part of who you are. You always look out for the people you love.

Nick: And they need looking after. And protecting them from themselves, it is a full-time job.

Sharon: I know it is. Sometimes, there’s no room for anything else.

Nick: Well, I haven’t decided, you know, what I’m gonna do yet, but I wanted to talk about it with you.

Sharon: With me?

Nick: Yeah, I made a commitment to you, sharon. I don’t want to leave you in the lurch.

Sharon: Well, kirsten or whatever we end up calling it is about ready for its relaunch. There’s a lot of cohesiveness in the structure, a solid foundation for moving forward. I’m– I’m good.

Nick: I know you are. You’ve taken this monster’s company, you’ve whipped it in the shape. There’s no chance it doesn’t become a huge success.

Sharon: You were a big part of getting kirsten where it is today. And I’ve really loved working with you. And I would like to keep going as partners, but if I had to do it on my own, I can.

Nick: I know you can.

Sharon: You know what? You need to do what’s best for you and your family. Really. And I’m still gonna come to you as a sounding board or get some advice. Either way.

Nick: Well, you better. I just want you to know, I really appreciate your support. It means the world to me.

Sharon: Of course.

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: God help me. I really feel that newman and my father, they need me right now.

Sharon: Then do what you have to do.

Nikki: Here we are.

Claire: Thank you. My aunt fell at her lake house and broke her arm.

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m so sorry to hear that. Uh, does she live alone?

Claire: She does. There’s a housekeeper who comes once a week, but nobody living there full time to look out for her.

Nikki: Well, that’s no good. Listen, you need to go take care of her.

Claire: Just for a few days. I’ll check on her, make sure she’s getting along okay.

Nikki: Of course, I understand. Take all the time you need.

Claire: That’s so generous of you nikki. Thanks. And of course, I’ll be available by phone and text, and email if you need anything.

Nikki: Now, you just focus on taking care of your aunt. I know how important she is to you.

Claire: She’s everything to me. And, uh, well… you need to go take care of her.

Claire: Just for a few days. I’ll check on her, make sure she’s getting along okay.

Nikki: Of course, I understand. Take all the time you need.

Claire: That’s so generous of you nikki. Thanks. And of course, I’ll be available by phone and text, and email if you need anything.

Nikki: Now, you just focus on taking care of your aunt. I know how important she is to you.

Claire: She’s everything to me. And, uh, well…

Nikki: What? What is it?

Claire: There’s something else I should probably tell you about her.

Claire: I’m not sure how you’ll react and it’s a little embarrassing. Aunt jordan is your biggest fan.

Nikki: What?

Claire: Ever since I came to work here and told her about you, she cannot stop talking about how amazing you are. All the things that you’ve accomplished. How impressive it is. It’s actually, it’s kind of adorable, really.

Nikki: Well, you weren’t kidding about it being embarrassing for me.

Claire: Take the compliment. You’ve done a lot of great things in business and philanthropy. Aunt jordan has no doubt that having you as a boss is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Nikki: Well, that’s very flattering.

Claire: She was actually coming here, coming to visit me this weekend. Hoping to meet you. Thank you for hiring me.

Nikki: Well, I hardly need a thank you for a smart hire.

Claire: I tried to tell her that, but she’s determined. But now, of course, with a broken arm.

Nikki: Well, another time. I’m not gonna be here this weekend anyway.

Claire: I don’t remember anything on your calendar.

Nikki: No, it’s not on my calendar. I’m going to visit my sister, casey. We haven’t seen each other in ages and she’s gonna be in napa in northern california on a conference, so I was gonna surprise her.

Claire: That’s so sweet. I’m sure your sister will be thrilled by the surprise.

Nikki: In fact. Well, here– here’s an idea. Oregon is right on the way. I mean, it’s practically a neighbor. Why don’t I give you a ride on the newman jet?

Claire: I couldn’t ask you to do that.

Nikki: Well, you’re not asking, I’m offering and I hope you accept. In fact, I won’t take no for an answer.

Claire: Uh, that is so nice. Thank you. I know this is terrible, especially after that wonderfully generous gesture, but I’m afraid I have another favor to ask.

Adam: Nick.

Nick: Adam. What are you? The welcoming committee or dad’s receptionist? Is that a step up from assistant?

Adam: You know that was quite a summit earlier. A lot of twists, a lot of turns.

Nick: And surprisingly, you weren’t the traitor that was outed by dad.

Adam: Well, I doubt you’re unhappy that nate is out of the company.

Nick: No, not at all. Never trusted the guy.

Adam: Well, I’m not naive enough to think that you trust me anymore now. Even though dad is impressed with my loyalty.

Nick: Adam, I’m actually relieved you didn’t try and use dad’s illness against him like nate clearly intended to. But, you could have. Everyone expected it, including dad. That says a lot about who you are and how you deal with things.

Adam: So, even if I defied expectations, it doesn’t matter. Is– is that what you’re saying?

Nick: Your behavior seems decent right now. But that can change. We both know that. On a dime. So, yeah, my guard is up when it comes to you. And it probably always will be. Hi. I use febreze fade defy plug.And I use this. Febreze has a microchip to control scent release so it smells first-day fresh for 50 days.

Victoria: Hi. Um, may I have a cabernet, please? Thank you. I want to find a way to make things up to you. And I will.

Nate: I know you mean that now.

Victoria: No, nate, I’m not just saying it to smooth things over. I really do mean it. I want to fight for us.

Nate: So, what happens when another issue comes up that puts me at odds with your family? Your parents don’t trust me. Nick never did. And adam…

Victoria: I don’t care what adam thinks.

Nate: But you did earlier today. You know, when you told me that you were raised to protect your family at all costs, I already knew that. My aunt mamie warned me that no matter what I did or how hard I worked, I would always be an outsider to the newmans. So maybe what this is, is a– is a wake-up call for me to work on reconnecting with my family. Put that above everything else. But, whatever the answer is, I’m gonna need some time to find it.

Victoria: Thank you.

Adam: Yeah, yeah. You don’t trust me. I get it. Because when you and victoria screw up, there have to be extenuating circumstances. You’re forced into it. But when I screw up, it’s inevitable. Just part of a dark and wicked soul. I got it.

Nick: Let’s just stop talking to each other right now.

Adam: That sounds great. Dad’s not in there by the way. You just missed him, he left for the day.

Nick: Okay, adam, then I’ll call him later.

Adam: Are you anxious to talk to him about something?

Nick: Why would you ask that?

Adam: Because he asked you to come back to the company. So, are you here to tell him that you’re gonna stick with sharon and kirsten? Or are you gonna give him an early christmas present? Tell him you’re coming back to newman.

Nick: Well, adam, that is between me and dad. I prefer to keep you guessing about my plans.

Claire: I know this is a lot to ask, especially after you’re already putting yourself out for me. But do you think there’s a chance when you drop me off in blue lake, that you could stop in and meet my aunt? Maybe have a cup of tea?

Nikki: Oh. Um, well… that would mean a lot to you, wouldn’t it?

Claire: And to my aunt.

Nikki: I suppose I could, but it would have to be for just a little bit because I only have a short time to be with my sister and I have to make the most of that.

Claire: Absolutely. Yes. And thank you again for being so understanding about me even having to go.

Nikki: Family first. I’ll send you the information on the flight.

Claire: And, thank you again. My aunt jordan is absolutely right. Coming to work for you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

[] There’s a way to cut your dishwashing time by 50%. Try dawn powerwash dish spray.

Nick: You don’t look very happy with that phone. Can I get a beer, please? Thank you.

Victoria: I thought you went home to christian.

Nick: Yeah, I did. Uh, you know, checked on him, did his homework with him and then made him brush his teeth and go off to bed. The nanny will take it from there. So, who’s not texting you back or do I need to ask?

Victoria: Nate isn’t answering.

Nick: Yeah. Thank you. Vic, you’re just gonna have to let that go. I mean, the more I think about it, it’s so clear dad needed to get nate out of newman enterprises.

Victoria: Okay. Look, I believe him. You’re not gonna talk me out of it, okay?

Nick: Okay.

Victoria: He’s just kind of wondering what comes next. You know, should he fight for his job at newman or go back to chancellor-winters?

Nick: Do they even want him back there?

Victoria: I don’t know. I don’t know, things change. He’s not exactly high on our relationship right now. He doesn’t like that I– that I sided with adam.

Nick: Well, as you know, I do not like him or trust him, but I know you do.

Victoria: So, did you talk to dad anymore?

Nick: I went by the office, I guess he’d already left for the day. But I did get to run into adam.

Victoria: Oh, adam. What is dad gonna do with him? He’s probably gonna make him my assistant.

Nick: I don’t know. You know, he’s been so unpredictable lately, and as we know, now some of it was on purpose, so who knows?

Victoria: Who knows? So, what about you? What are you gonna do? I know that coming back to newman is not your first choice. But where are you leaning with dad’s latest request? You coming back to the family company?

[ Adam sighing ]

Victor: Hi, my baby. You ready to go home?

Nikki: Oh, that oh-so-casual tone in your voice, as if you didn’t just set the whole family on fire.

Victor: What I did is I kept a little flicker from exploding into a flame.

Nikki: Yeah, I know you’d see it that way.

Victor: Yeah, I do.

Nikki: We have to talk about this.

Victor: All right. What you wanna talk about?

Nikki: I saw victoria earlier.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Nikki: She is furious.

Victor: So?

Nikki: I just want you to be prepared. I don’t think you’ll hear from her tonight, but soon.

Victor: Well, I’m not surprised if she’s upset.

Nikki: Well, of course, she’s upset.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: To hear that her father was putting on an act to try to trap one or more of his children.

Victor: Now, wait a minute. As you found out, my setting the trap, you know, was productive, right? We found out that her lover, nate, was manipulative as I had expected. So, she just needs time to work this out.

Nikki: Well, I hope that’s all it takes. Victor, I warned you that this could happen. You could lose her. She could decide to leave the company or worse.

Victor: She’s not gonna leave the company. Her blood is in the company. She’ll never leave it.

Nikki: You can push people too far, you know.

Victor: Well, they can push me too far either. Anyway, let’s not talk about that, okay? I really want to go home and, uh, want to enjoy, our time together. I mean, do you have anything to take home? Any work?

Nikki: No, actually, not tonight. Thanks to claire, I am so organized. I did everything I was supposed to do today.

Victor: Oh, she’s still working out?

Nikki: Ah, yeah, she’s terrific. Although she’s dealing with a bit of an emergency at the moment.

Victor: Oh, what kind of an emergency?

Nikki: Well, the aunt that raised her fell and broke her arm, so claire is getting ready to go to oregon for a few days.

Victor: That’s not a good thing. Break your arm, you get older. Oh, well.

Nikki: And, I hear that her aunt is quite a fan of mine.

Victor: Really?

Nikki: Mm. Claire says that her aunt has read everything about me and thinks that her niece becoming my assistant is the best thing to ever happen to her.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. Good.

Nikki: So, I offered her a seat on the jet when I go to napa to see casey.

Victor: Oh, yeah. Your surprise visit to your sister, casey the doctor.

Nikki: Yes. And then, claire could take a commercial flight back when she’s comfortable in leaving her aunt alone. And I agreed to go in and meet the woman.

Victor: All right, go for it.

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know.

Victor: What, darling? What is it?

Nikki: Oh, maybe I shouldn’t leave town at all this weekend with all this family upheaval. I mean, it’s a surprise, casey doesn’t know I’m coming, so she can’t be disappointed–

Victor: Sweetheart, I do want you to take that trip. I mean, you’ve been looking forward to seeing your sister, casey, for a long time. And you haven’t seen each other for a while. I will deal with whatever problems I’ve created here over the weekend. I’ll deal with it, okay? I want you to have a good time. You need the rest, my sweetheart, okay? And then you can bask in the admiration of this aunt, whatever the hell her name is. How’s that?

Nikki: All right, darling. Thank you. I will.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I forgot how much you liked, uh, chocolate with your pasta.

Lily: Mm-hmm. Who doesn’t? I heard what you said. I’m listening to you, okay? I know what you’re doing. I just have a lot on my mind right now.

Daniel: What kind of stuff do you have on your mind right now?

Lily: Whether I should order pasta with whipped cream next.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: You know, I don’t think that’s the stuff you’re thinking about. And in case, um, in case you might be upset with me, um, about other stuff, I, uh, I would just like to clear something up.

Lily: What’s that?

Daniel: I was getting ready to show chloe and sally the apartment and then, you know, sally, she started asking me if I had any general, like, design ideas.

Lily: You mean besides the poker table and folding chairs?

Daniel: Yeah, those. And then heather and lucy, they just showed up at the door. I mean, I didn’t even know that they were back in town and there they were, you know. I guess lucy wanted to surprise me and then well they succeeded on that. But, um, I mean, there was nothing planned about it. You know, I– I was hoping that you would be back from your meeting with devon and we could talk to sally, talk about her ideas over dinner.

Lily: Okay, daniel. Daniel.

Daniel: Yeah.

Lily: You’re babbling.

Daniel: Well, you’re not really making this easy.

Lily: What are you talking about? What am I not making easy?

Daniel: I’m not worried about you and lucy. I know that the two of you are good. You guys are like pals, but… I just want to make sure that heather moving back to genoa city isn’t going to be a problem for us.

Phyllis: Hey, you. Hey.

Danny: Hi.

Phyllis: Hi.

Danny: Good to see you.

Phyllis: You too. I’ve been looking forward to this all day. I mean, this and dinner.

Danny: Oh, um, I’m– I’m sorry. I, well, unfortunately, we have to reschedule it.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Uh, did something come up like a last-minute gig or something?

Danny: Oh, no, no, no. It was nothing like that. Daniel had a last-minute change in his plans.

Phyllis: Oh, I get it. You told him that you invited me, right?

Danny: No, I didn’t even have a chance to. He just texted me.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Well, just because daniel changed his plans doesn’t mean we have to. I mean, we could still have dinner together, right?

Chance: Hey. What are you doing here? Hey, mom.

Nina: Hi, honey. Oh, how are you doing? I just talked to your doctor. She said you’re gonna be just fine.

Chance: Yeah, of course I am. I take after my mother. I’m tough. Nothing can bring me down.

Nina: Ah, I love you. Now, what the hell is wrong with you, putting your mother through this? Oh. Oh, are you okay?

Chance: Hey. No, no, no. No crying. No crying. I can’t deal with the crying.

Nina: What do you expect? We’ve been through this before. You know, I can’t stand the thought of anything happening to you.

Chance: I know.

Nina: And you know, this job, it may not be too dangerous for you, but it’s definitely too dangerous for me.

Chance: Hey, look at me. I’m fine. Okay, I’m good as new.

Nina: Geez.

Chance: That’s a promise. Come on.

Lily: You know, you’re really making more of this than you need to.

Daniel: Well, you’ve been awfully quiet ever since we sat down to dinner.

Lily: That doesn’t mean I’m upset. I’m not upset.

Daniel: Okay, then tell me what’s going on inside your head.

Lily: I don’t know. I just, you know, I’m disappointed that I missed your conversation with sally, that’s all.

Daniel: But you’re helping already. I mean, it was your idea for me to hire sally and it was a brilliant idea. You are a part of all of this.

Lily: Am I being selfish?

Daniel: No. No, you’re not being selfish. I wanted you there. You know that I wanted you there. This was supposed to be our fun little thing and well everything just went a little sideways. What was supposed to be a meeting about me decorating my place, turned into a reunion with my daughter and my ex.

Lily: Yeah, I know it’s fine. It’s fine. Okay. It’s my fault. My meeting with devon ran late. You know, and it’s fine. I’m just bummed that I didn’t get to hear sally’s ideas. I was really looking forward to it, that’s all.

Daniel: Okay. Well, in that case, let’s get out of here. Let’s go back to my place right now. Tell you everything that she said to me. You can tell me what you think.

Lily: I thought you want dessert?

Daniel: Not as much as I want to give you a very private tour of my new apartment.

Lily: Like right now?

Daniel: Like immediately.

Lily: Well, you know what? I guess I’m actually too full for dessert too.

Daniel: Okay. Check, please.

Chance: I’m really sorry, I put you all through this.

Nina: You better be.

Sharon: Can you tell us what happened?

Chance: Yeah. Well, I’ll tell you, I never expected to get shot after a crime had been committed. The guy was long gone.

Summer: Then, how did it happen?

Chance: Well. Thank you. There was a jewelry store robbery downtown. We were working the scene. Robbery was already over. The guy was long gone, but he left a pretty big piece of evidence. And I guess he must have realized that he did because he actually came back to the jewelry store to get it. Guy didn’t think that we’d be there yet, so he was just as surprised to see us as we were to see him.

Nina: And?

Chance: Well, he pulled out a gun and, uh, let out a few shots before we could subdue him. Guess one of those bullets had my name on it.

Nina: Yeah, that seems to be a specialty of yours. Remind me when we get home, I’m changing your name.

[ Chance sighing ]

Chance: I’m really sorry for scaring you all.

Nina: How about this? How about you worry about us later? And just focus just focus on getting better, okay? And then when you’re home where you belong, you are so grounded.

Chance: Great.

Phyllis: I heard there’s this really great restaurant right on the lake. They have the most amazing tiramisu, I’ve heard. I haven’t had tiramisu in so long.

Danny: Santino’s, yeah. I– I heard it’s supposed to be really good.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, let’s give it a try.

Danny: We’ll have to do a rain check. I’m so sorry, phylis. I– I made other arrangements for dinner when daniel told me his plans changed.

Phyllis: Ah. Hi, christine.

Christine: Phyllis. (Vo) ultimate endless shrimp is herewith a limited time flavor drop. New crispy dragon shrimp. One of seven endless choices. Right now, only at red lobster. Welcome to fun dining.

Summer: Uh, so I should get going, but I’m really glad that you’re gonna be okay.

Chance: It means a lot that you came. Thank you.

Summer: Heard the news. Had to at least check up on you.

Sharon: That’s so sweet.

Nina: It is really sweet. Thank you for your concern.

Summer: Well, chance was really there for me through the whole ordeal with my mom, so.

Nina: Ah, well, I raised him right. Listen, summer. I also wanted to say to you that I’m really sorry about what you went through with your mom. That must have been a nightmare.

Summer: Thanks, nina.

Sharon: She even lost her marriage to the love of her life. It was so heartbreaking.

Summer: Yeah, but I’m doing a lot better now, actually. I– I threw myself into work, which has been great and this guy helped, of course.

Chance: You know I got your back.

Summer: Well, I see you’re in very good hands, so get some rest, okay? And follow their orders.

Nina: Oh, trust me.

Summer: Bye.

Elena: Well, well, well, look who’s awake. And I’m glad you got to spend a little time with your mom and the rest of your fan club. But ladies, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. You need to get your rest, chief. And we’re gonna be transferring you to a regular room soon.

Chance: Oh, I can’t wait. I gotta get the hell out of here.

Elena: Well, then you better behave yourself.

Sharon: Okay. Well, I will see you in the morning.

Chance: I look forward to that. Thanks for coming.

Sharon: Nina, good night. And you need to get some rest too.

Nina: Yeah. Well, I can only promise to try. Can I just have five more minutes with my son, please?

Chance: Mom.

Elena: Okay. Five minutes on the clock.

Nina: Thank you.

Elena: I’ll be back.

[ Summer sighing ]

Sharon: Are you okay?

Summer: Yeah. Yeah, I’m all– I’m okay. I’m just relieved, you know. I mean when chance was telling us what happened, it kind of hit me how dangerous his job really is. It makes me scared for him and all of them.

Sharon: Well, the good news is he’s going to pull through. He’ll be out of here in no time.

Summer: Yeah. Sharon, I hope you don’t think it’s weird that I came here.

Sharon: No, not at all. I– I know that you two have become friends. I’m sure it was more comforting for chance to wake up to a familiar face rather than some doctor or nurse he’s never seen before in his life.

Summer: Still, I’m sure that he would rather it was you.

Sharon: He opened his eyes and in the end, that’s all that matters. He’s going to be fine and you will be too.

Summer: Yeah. Good night, sharon.

[ Daniel laughing ]

Daniel: Great. You can add one more thing to my to-do list. Turn on the electricity. It’s all right though. I have a little, uh, flashlight app on my– on my dead cell phone. Great.

Lily: It’s dead. It’s okay. I have mine. I think I do somewhere here. Um, actually I do not. I think I left it at my place. Sorry.

Daniel: That’s all right. I thought I had a flashlight around here.

Lily: Well, do you have candles?

Daniel: Oh, yes. Ask you shall receive. Voila. Candles.

Lily: Perfect.

[ Daniel laughing ]

Daniel: Oh, look, here’s a flashlight.

Lily: Oh, look at that. Oh, I remember these. Remember? They were so quaint and useful.

Daniel: Uh-huh.

Lily: Well, if the batteries were any good.

Daniel: Okay. Put that on the to-do list as well. Get more batteries. You know, this might pose a bit of a problem. I mean, sally’s vision would, you know, be a little bit better if you could actually see what she was talking about.

Lily: I don’t know. I think it’s kind of romantic. I think it’s beautiful.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. I think you’re beautiful.

Chance: Oh, boy. All right. Let me have it. Read me the riot act. I know you want to.

Nina: Okay, I will. But only because you’re too groggy to argue with me. And since you’ve been shot, I’m just gonna say this and get it out of the way and hope it gets through that thick skull of yours.

Chance: Yeah, I know what’s coming next.

Nina: Oh, do you? Well, mr. Smarty pants. What’s coming next?

Chance: You think it’s time for me to rethink my life and my future.

Nina: Oh, okay. You’re better at this than I thought you’d be.

Chance: Yeah. You know what?

Nina: What?

Chance: I’ve got a surprise for you. When I got hit and went down, the very first thing I thought was, “not again.”

Nina: Really?

Chance: Yeah. Not that I’m old or anything, I know that. But it made me wonder. Am I getting too old for– for this?

Nina: Yes, you are. You absolutely are.

Chance: Next thing I thought is, “how can I keep putting my sweet mother through this when I love her so much?”

Nina: I love you too. More.

Chance: I love you too more too.

Danny: Does nina want us to bring anything to the hospital?

Christine: No. She’s all good. She said chance is just sleeping.

Danny: Oh, okay.

Phyllis: Wait a second. The hospital? Chance? What happened?

Christine: He was shot in an armed jewelry store robbery.

Phyllis: Oh, my god.

Christine: They caught the guy, but unfortunately he was in the line of fire.

Phyllis: Oh, no, this is horrible. I– I know that summer’s become friends with him. Uh, do you know if she knows?

Christine: I have no idea.

Phyllis: Okay. I’m gonna try to get in touch with her.

Danny: How’s nina holding up?

Christine: Oh, well, she’s nina. She’s invincible. A force of nature.

Danny: Yeah. That she definitely is.

Christine: If I were that robber, I would be thanking my lucky stars that the cops got me before nina did.

Danny: Oh, yeah.

Christine: Um, well, our reservation’s in 15 minutes. We should get going.

Danny: Yeah. Yeah. Good idea. Um, phyllis and I were gonna have dinner with daniel and lucy but they, uh, canceled.

Christine: I heard. That’s um, that’s too bad.

Phyllis: Yeah. But don’t worry, I’m not expecting an invitation to join you two.

Christine: Well, the idea hadn’t crossed our minds.

Phyllis: I’m definitely not gonna intrude in your time.

Christine: Very thoughtful of you.

Phyllis: Enjoy yourself. Have fun.

Danny: Uh, we’ll do dinner soon.

Phyllis: Yes. Absolutely.

Danny: When everyone’s available.

Phyllis: I look forward to it.

Danny: Yeah, uh, me too.

Christine: Good night.

Danny: Good night.

Phyllis: Bon appétit.

Chance: Thanks. Mm.

Nina: So, are you really having a change of heart or are you just placating your mother?

Chance: Mom, I don’t know. I can’t say I’ve fully made up my mind just yet. Plus, I probably shouldn’t be making any life-changing decisions while I’m sitting here with a hole in my chest.

Nina: Probably not. But listen, what if you just–

Chance: Mom. Too soon, okay? Plus, you know how many meds I’m on right now. I don’t even think I can decide what flavor jell-o I want for dinner tonight. Let alone what I wanna do for the rest of my life.

Nina: Okay. You’re right. I’ll wait. And I promise not to nag. Okay, never mind that. I don’t even believe that myself. Okay, how about this? I won’t nag. But is it okay if I really, really hope that you decide not to be a cop anymore?

Chance: As if I could stop you.

Phyllis: I’m sorry, danny.

Danny: Sorry?

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m sorry for getting so upset.

Danny: Phyllis, you don’t ever have to apologize for loving our son.

Phyllis: Do you know how lucky we are?

Danny: The luckiest parents in the world? No doubt about it, our son is one tough kid. You know, maybe I should get him some boxing gloves for christmas.

Phyllis: Boxing gloves?

Danny: Yeah. I mean, if he could lick bacterial meningitis, he could take on mike tyson. No, holyfield.

[ Phyllis laughing ] No, on second thought, that’s not such a good idea.

Phyllis: I was thinking maybe he could become a doctor when he grows up.

Danny: Mm-hmm. Win a nobel prize for discovering one of those amazing miracle cures. Sounds good to me.

Phyllis: What if he becomes a writer and writes one of those mommy dearest books?

Danny: You mean about how crazy his mother is?

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: Well, what about you? Think of all the dirt he could dig up on you, the big rock star?

Danny: Good point. Don’t cross him.

Phyllis: Hey, supergirl. Hey, how are you? You heard about chance?

Summer: Yeah.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. All right. How’s he doing?

Summer: He’s okay. I just came from the hospital.

Phyllis: Oh, that was so sweet of you to visit him.

Summer: I mean, he’s my friend, so..

Phyllis: Well, I’m glad he’s doing better. I mean… why are you so sad? That’s good news.

Summer: I don’t want to talk about it.

Phyllis: Okay. You don’t want to talk about what?

Summer: Mom, please. Can we just not? Can we not?

Phyllis: Uh, can we not what? I’m just asking you questions about chance? Why–

Summer: Mom, seriously? Why do you have to grill me on like every thought that I have? Every mood that I’m in. Everyone I see. Everything that I do. I just, I don’t– I don’t get it.

Phyllis: Uh, I don’t really understand what’s happening now, but I– you know, I’m your mom, I’m not grilling you. You seem upset and I just want to help you.

Summer: No, that’s the thing. You don’t want to help. You just want to know what’s going on so that you can get involved and I just I really don’t want that.

Phyllis: I’m not trying to get involved, whatever that means. I’m just asking you some simple questions–

Summer: Okay, there’s nothing to get involved with anyway. So, let’s just drop it.

Phyllis: Okay. And you’re– you’re making a big deal out of nothing.

Summer: No, you’re not capable of respecting boundaries. I mean, look at daniel and heather.

Phyllis: What do daniel and heather have to do with this?

Summer: You’re trying to push them together?

Phyllis: Okay. First of all, that’s not true. And if you heard that from your brother, that’s a gross exaggeration. I’m not doing that. I just wanted lucy to come here and be closer to her father and closer to me, frankly.

Summer: See? You interfered.

Phyllis: Um, I didn’t interfere. And listen, I’m your mom, okay? And I care about what happens to you. Answer one question for me.

Summer: What?

Phyllis: Is there something else going on with chance? I mean, maybe something more?

Summer: Mom, please stop. Chance is dating sharon.

Phyllis: Oh, really?

Summer: What difference does it make to you?

Phyllis: It doesn’t really make a difference. But. [ Clearing throat ] I want you to be happy, okay? I care about you and I’m really wondering whether or not you’re gonna find true love. And I’d like you to,here.

Summer: How do you know that?

Phyllis: Uh, history, summer. Sharon is all about going after nick, period. She may do her little thing with chance and marry rey, god rest his soul. And she may do this like cat and mouse thing with adam, this love-hate thing, but at the end of the day, it is all about nick and only about nick for sharon.

Christine: Oh, nina, that is such good news. Yeah. Um, yeah. Sweetie, just keep me posted, okay? Um, and know that we’re thinking of you both and sending you so much love. Okay. Yeah, bye. Chance might be able to come home in a day or two.

Danny: That is amazing. Wow. You know, I– I feel sorry for him obviously, but I almost feel sorry for nina. I mean, you and I both know if she’d been to that jewelry store, she would have taken that bullet for her son.

Christine: Oh, there’s no doubt about that.

Danny: Can you imagine what it’s like saying goodbye to someone you love every single day and– and wondering if you’re ever gonna see them again? Like being married to the chief of police. Could I be a bigger bonehead? I’m sorry, that’s terrible.

Christine: No, you don’t have to say you’re sorry. It’s– it’s okay. I’m– I’m fine.

Danny: I– okay. Changing the subject before I put my other foot in my mouth. You mentioned something about chance and sharon. Um, is it something serious or what?

Christine: I– I don’t know. What I do know is that nina is not too thrilled about it.

Danny: Really? Oh, why is that?

Christine: Well, uh, sharon has sort of a dubious track record. Divorce from nick. Married adam. Uh, widow of chance’s former partner. Not exactly daughter-in-law material.

Danny: Yikes. Okay. Well, I guess it’s really none of my business though.

Christine: Okay. It’s– it’s totally none of my business either.

Danny: Yeah. Well, at the end of the day, I think the best we can do is what? Follow our hearts.

Christine: Well, that’s sweet. And, you know, kind of…

Danny: Corny?

Christine: Corny.

Danny: Simplistic. Relationships, they always seem to be so complicated for no good reason. Whatever happened to the simpler, the better?

Christine: Well, that’s us, right? The poster children of simple relationships.

Danny: Hear, hear.

Daniel: Not that I know anything about decorating, but I really like this one.

Lily: Yeah, I like that one. But, I mean, you know, it’s– it’s your home that sally is designing, right? Not a showroom. So, it’s whatever you like.

Daniel: Yeah. No, totally. She’s, uh, also putting together an idea board for me– well, for us to take a look at.

Lily: Yeah. No, that’ll be good because then you can kind of see how everything will look once it’s together.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: What is that? Was that– is that drawers or shelves? Like, I can’t really see.

Daniel: I have no idea.

Lily: You know what? I have a great idea. I have electricity upstairs at my place. Do you want– do you want to go up there?

Daniel: Now, you’re just bragging. You know, if I’m being honest, I, uh, I’m not really missing the electricity right now.

Lily: Oh, me neither. You know what I am missing though? Is a bed, a couch, somewhere comfortable.

Daniel: You know what? I have a floor.

Lily: Oh, no, no, that’s not happening.

Daniel: No?

Lily: No.

Daniel: Okay.

Phyllis: Listen, for a long time, as you know, sharon and I were at odds. We hated each other. That’s the truth.

Summer: Mm. It doesn’t seem like you’re all that fond of her now either.

Phyllis: No, we’re never going to be friends, ever. We’ve learned to tolerate each other, be in the same room together, but we’re not going to be friends. In fact, I was gonna work with her and that imploded for some reason. But, I didn’t even feel the need to throw a grenade.

Summer: Okay. That’s a very big step for you, mom. I am proud of you.

Phyllis: Thank you. Thank you.

Summer: You’re welcome.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. So.

Summer: So.

Phyllis: Um, let me ask you a question. You have feelings for chance.

Summer: Mom, please. I have no desire to try to come between chance and sharon.

Phyllis: Okay. But am I wrong?

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: No, you’re not wrong. Yeah, I do– I do have feelings for him, but it doesn’t mean that I’m going to do anything about them, okay? So now you know, please just stay out of it.

Phyllis: Hm. Well, I’m probably not gonna stay out of it because you’re my supergirl and I love you. And I want you to be happy. Okay? But see, this is the new me and I’m gonna tell you that I’m proud that you’re showing restraint. See the old me, the old me would have been like, “go for it, go for it, go get what you want.” But the new me is proud of your restraint. It’s the new me. And, you know, I mean you didn’t learn that from me, so…

Summer: Well, mom, I am proud of your restraint too. Seriously. Keep up the good work.

Phyllis: Yeah. I love you.

Summer: I love you too.

Lily: Can I ask you a question now? Just to clear something up once and for all.

Daniel: Yeah. You can ask me anything.

Lily: Have I convinced you that I don’t care that heather is moving back here?

Daniel: Almost.

Lily: What? Just almost? Really?

Daniel: Yeah, I don’t think I’m quite there yet. You know, I– I mean, I’m such a skeptic.

Lily: Oh, well, I guess I’ll have to try again.

Daniel: All right.

Christine: Ah, that was delicious. Thank you.

Danny: Thank you. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Christine: Do you want to hear something weird?

Danny: This is me you’re talking to. Of course, I want to hear something weird.

Christine: Okay. Well, it’s not that weird. But to this day, even after all these years, even after eating at some of the best restaurants in the world, I find myself missing your famous pasta sauce.

Danny: You do? Really? Well, then I’ll have to make it again for you sometime. Yeah.

Christine: I would love that. Then, we’ll make it happen.

Elena: All right, mama. It is time to tell your son good night.

Nina: No.

Elena: He needs to get some sleep.

Nina: What about me and my needs? All right. Sorry. I was never very good at walking away from this one. I wanna thank you and everybody on the staff for taking such good care of him. I was really scared, but all of you and the angels came through for us again.

Elena: Well, no one’s happier about that than we are. So, no thanks necessary.

Chance: Go home, mom. I’m not the only one who needs sleep.

Nina: All right. Goodnight, my sweet son.

Chance: Night.

Nina: Sleep well. Remember, someone’s clearly looking out for you.

Sharon: Oh, hi, summer. Hi again.

Summer: Um, any updates on chance?

Sharon: No, none. All systems are still go for him to be released in a day or two.

Summer: Oh, that’s good. I’ll be keeping him in my thoughts. And just so you know, sharon, I am falling for him. I can’t help it. The heart wants what it wants and I’m not gonna back down.

Sharon: Summer. Are you okay? You zoned out for a minute there.

Summer: Yeah. No, I– I– I’m– I’m fine. I’m just really tired. I’m sure you are too. Night.

Sharon: Night.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Nikki: You just focus on taking care of your aunt. I know how important she is to you.

Claire: There’s something else I should probably tell you about her.

Nikki: Maybe I shouldn’t leave town at all this week. And with all this family upheaval, I mean–

Victor: Sweetheart, I do want you to take that trip. I mean, you’ve been looking forward to seeing your sister, casey, for a long time. And you haven’t seen each other for a while.

Nikki: Please, please. Someone help me. Oh, god. Damn it.
