Billy: Hey.
Devon: Hey.
Billy: I was just coming to look for you.
Devon: Why is that?
Billy: I’ve got to go out of town for a couple of days, so I’m going to be out of the office.
Devon: Is everything all right?
Billy: Yeah, um, I’m going with chelsea to minnesota. She’s going to check up on connor.
Devon: Is he okay?
Billy: I think he will be. He’s facing some new challenges. Chelsea needs to go out there and see a specialist, and I’m going for moral support. I assume that’s not going to be a problem for you?
Mariah: Well…
Abby: Hello! Thank you for joining us for breakfast this morning.
Mariah: Abby, I have a new appreciation for what you do here. Tessa was completely crashed out this morning when I left.
Abby: Ah, she was here super late doing inventory, so i told her I’d cover her shift so she could get some sleep. You know, everyone here is already obsessed with her. They love her.
Kyle: Of course they do.
[ Abby laughs ]
Abby: Now, I think hiring her is my best idea yet.
Mariah: Wow, I will pass that along. I’m sure she’ll love hearing that, uh, you get the credit for all of her hard work.
Abby: You know what? No need. She’s already aware of how pleased I am with my brilliant idea to hire her and her outstanding job performance. I’ve already showered her with plenty of well-deserved praise.
Kyle: Well, tessa is a multitalented woman. Singer, spokesperson and model, and now restaurateur extraordinaire.
Abby: Yes.
Kyle: We’re going to miss her at jabot.
Mariah: Well, more predictable schedule here, more time with aria.
Kyle: I absolutely understand why she stepped away.
Abby: Well, she is a lifesaver because it’s given me a chance to focus on chancellor-winters, which reminds me I need to go check in with devon, but please enjoy your breakfast.
Kyle: I’m sure we will.
Mariah: Wow. My wife is a star here.
Kyle: Well, you’re not surprised, are you?
Mariah: Well, I’m just happy that she gets the opportunity to shine again. I mean, she’s been a little bit at loose ends lately. And she’s waiting for her voice to be healed enough so she can go back on the road again.
Kyle: Ah, the inevitable downtime between her duties at marchetti, it has to be frustrating. I’m sure working here will provide her with good balance. Speaking of balance, how are things with you?
Mariah: I’m great now because aria is great. It’s crazy, when aria couldn’t hear us, it was all that we could think about.
Kyle: Mm-hmm.
Mariah: But now those days are slowly fading into history, you know? With the hearing aids. Now we’re focused on playtime and learning and milestones, and it’s crazy. You know, she’s picking up words now, and-and she’s starting to make sounds, it’s– I swoon over her. I’m obsessed. We’re obsessed, obviously.
[ Mariah chuckles ]
Kyle: With good reason. And your job?
Mariah: It’s fantastic. I mean, working with sharon is great. I am so impressed with the company that we’re building. And it’s so strong. Like, right out the gate. So, I have no complaints.
Kyle: That’s great, mariah. You know, you deserve every bit of it. I’m really, really happy for you.
Mariah: Okay, so, now you. How are you? I’m sensing maybe not so well. Am I right?
Kyle: Things are great for you while you work with your mom. Meanwhile, part of me wishes I could steal my mom’s job right out from underneath her.
Victor: Well, I hope you’re not here to try to change my mind again.
Victoria: No, dad. I’m here to tell you that I’m not going to fight you anymore on this plan of yours to lure jordan out of hiding. All right? You win.
Victor: But you’re still upset?
Victoria: I’ve thought about it. And I– I understand your logic. I know that claire is determined to make amends and she wants to prove that she’s part of this family by doing everything that she can to protect us all from jordan.
Victor: Well, your daughter is a very smart young lady.
Victoria: However, I do have some conditions for my support.
Victor: I bet you do, but I promise you that I will keep her safe, all right?
Victoria: I have other conditions, dad.
Victor: I bet you do. But I’m glad that you… changed your mind… about my plan, and I’m very glad that your mother was able to convince you to see it my way.
Victoria: What? You sent mom to try to pressure me into agreeing to this idea of yours?
Victor: Of course I did. I’ll be honest.
Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…
Victoria: Well, I haven’t spoken with mom since yesterday. It was claire who changed my mind. She basically pleaded with cole and me to trust her instincts, and she’s right. She’s right, dad. She knows her aunt more than anyone.
Victor: Good. Whatever the motivation, I’m happy that you’re beginning to see the benefits of my plan.
Victoria: But that doesn’t mean that I’m happy about any of it, dad. And on top of that, I mean, I don’t know how you could willingly put mom in such a difficult position. You’re basically asking her to fight your battles for you.
Victor: What do you mean a difficult position? I asked her to make you see reason. Now, it happens that claire did so. Wonderful. Why do you see a flaw in everything I do?
Victoria: Well, they’re right in plain sight.
Victor: All I’m trying to do is keep our family safe. Your family safe. And what do you do? You question it. Every move I make, you question. What’s the real reason? What’s beneath all this?
Devon: Yeah, no, absolutely. It’s not a problem at all. It sounds like whatever connor’s going through isn’t easy.
Billy: No, it’s not. Not for him or his mother.
Devon: Yeah, I can imagine. Well, go be there for them, and don’t worry about anything here. I’m sure we can keep things going without you.
Billy: Okay. Well, I’ll have my computer on me so I can work from the road if anything comes up. Sure you’ll let me know.
Devon: Yeah, of course.
Billy: Actually, there’s one provision I would like to make while I’m away.
Mariah: So, that was a bombshell. You still want diane’s position.
Kyle: Yeah, I shouldn’t have said that.
Mariah: Well, is it how you really feel? Remember, this is me you’re talking to. You can tell me the truth.
Kyle: I don’t really wanna steal my mom’s position.
Mariah: But?
Kyle: But things aren’t great right now. Not bad, just not–
Mariah: You’re not at your peak happiness.
Kyle: Yes, I’ve been trying so hard to be the good son, the dedicated worker, team player, because not that long ago I was none of those things. You know, I wanted the co-ceo role so badly that I let a chip grow on my shoulder when my dad asked me to walk away from marketing. Then he passed me up. Gave the job to billy.
Mariah: Yeah, that had to be a smack to your ego for sure.
Kyle: Which is why i acted out. And then I took a good hard look at myself and realized what an ass I was being. Made the choice to stop fighting. Compensate for my bad behavior. Maybe even overcompensate.
Mariah: Well, in what way?
Kyle: Well, when billy left chancellor-winters, I suggested… insisted that my mom assume the role I wanted. You know, ever since then, I’ve been second guessing my decision. Like I showed too much humility, and once again, I missed out on the opportunity that I know in my heart I deserved. Like many women over 40,
Mariah: So are you saying you resent the fact that diane is co-ceo now?
Kyle: “Resent” is a little strong. She is my mother, and this is an amazing chance for her. Of course I want to see her shine. And it’s not like I’ve been pushed off into a corner. I am still the third part of the triad of leadership at jabot.
Mariah: Yeah, I hear you. Working with your parents can be incredibly fulfilling. You know, there’s a love and trust there that you’re not going to get in other businesses.
Kyle: No, I agree. I mean, working as a family unit, what more could you ask for?
Mariah: Like I said, I love working with my mother. But it’s not enough for you, is it?
Kyle: No. No, it’s not. And the regret is driving me crazy.
Devon: So what kind of provision do you want for a short trip?
Billy: I’d appreciate it if you kept chance in the loop. You know, bring him up to speed. Make him aware of any big decisions that might go down.
Devon: Okay. And why is that necessary if you’re going to be available? Because we can just contact you if there’s an issue, right?
Billy: Yeah. But I think it’s an opportunity for chance, you know, while I step away. Is that a problem?
Devon: I mean, he just got here, so I don’t really think he’s the appropriate stand-in for you. But if that’s what you want while you’re gone, then that’s your business.
Billy: Good. Thank you.
Devon: Yeah. Have a safe trip.
Abby: Hi.
Devon: Hey.
Abby: Hi.
Devon: How you doing?
Billy: Hi, abby. Sorry, I got to run. But nice to see you.
Abby: You too.
Devon: Hey, tell chelsea that I hope that everything works out for the best.
Billy: Thanks for that.
Abby: Well, I guess i don’t need to ask if the tension between you and billy is easing up. Because the answer is obviously no.
Victoria: Why would you say that? That there’s something else going on? There’s nothing else going on. I’m concerned about my daughter. She’s emotionally fragile right now. And mom, mom is vulnerable. Dad, we cannot afford to get this wrong. Not even a little bit.
Victor: Let me ask you something. You don’t think I know this? I know all of this. Something else is going on. Does this have to do with newman?
[ Victoria sighs ]
Victoria: No. Work is the last thing that I’m thinking about.
Victor: Are you upset that i promoted both your brothers, nicholas and adam, to take over your position? If you’re upset about that, that’s absurd. Because you walked away from here, didn’t you?
Victoria: You know why I made that choice. My daughter needed me. That is the only reason that I took that break.
Victor: And I understand that, but what else is going on?
Victoria: If you think I’m harboring some private resentment for the decisions that you’ve made at newman, I’m not. I actually agree with you on some of them. My only concern is for my daughter, for claire, for her well-being and for her safety. And for mom. If I’m frustrated with you, it has nothing to do with the company.
Victor: So there should be no more frustration? On your part, now that you are on board with my plan. And your mother was spared the task of luring that witch into a trap. So? Nothing for us to argue about, is there? You didn’t live this strong,
Victor: Sweetheart, I– I don’t want to fight about this, okay?
Victoria: Neither do I.
Victor: You know that we need to present a united front for this plan to work.
Michael: Ah, victor, victoria! Sorry to interrupt, but the judge has made a ruling, and I knew you’d want to know right away.
Victor: What? What did he rule?
Michael: Well, provided a series of therapeutic and safety contingencies are met, the judge has agreed to remand claire to– hold for applause– victoria and cole’s custody.
[ Victoria gasps ]
Victoria: They’re letting her come home?
Michael: Mm-hmm.
Victoria: Oh, my god. What if it’s too much for her though, daddy? What if it’s– it’s just so overwhelming and… jordan is out there. You have to protect her. You promised that you’re going to keep her protected, right?
Victor: Sweetheart, I’ve told you that many times. Of course I will protect her.
Michael: Uh, so you are on board?
>>Victoria: Yes, but not without some misgivings. Does claire know about the judge’s decision?
Michael: Uh, I assumed that you and cole would want to give her the news yourselves?
Victoria: Yes, yes, we would. Thank you. And as I told my father, I will go along with this plan, but there are some conditions.
Victor: What conditions?
Victoria: No matter what, daddy, you have to keep her safe. All right, and– and– no surprises. No– we stick to the original plan.
Victor: Sweetheart, do I have to repeat? She’s my granddaughter. I will damn well protect her.
Victoria: Fine. And I want her staying with me, at my home.
Victor: No, no, no, no, no. That I do not want. I want you and claire to stay at the ranch. Because that’s when I can provide security.
Victoria: No, daddy, look, the ranch, it’s lovely, but I’m just afraid it’ll be too much for her.
Victor: Listen…
Victoria: I want her at my place.
Victor: Listen to me carefully. I cannot provide the same security at your place. When you and she come to the ranch, she’ll be secure, okay? You’ll both be safe. I promise you.
[ Victoria sighs ]
Victoria: Okay, okay, fine. But it’s only temporary until jordan is back in custody.
Jordan: Damn you, seth. Where are you? Why haven’t you gotten back to me?
Devon: So billy’s going away on a short business trip, and he has provisions for me. He wants me to bring chance in on everything while he’s gone. Even though chance is brand new and can’t make decisions. So, why would he do that?
Abby: But you have an idea.
Devon: I do, yeah. I think that he wants to have a fly on the wall here. So that nothing happens without him knowing about it. Or he’s just flexing his power.
Abby: Wait, do you know when lily’s coming back?
Devon: I don’T. That’s a great question. Which means I have to figure out how to work with billy in the meantime.
Abby: Hmm. Well, that’s not stressful at all.
Devon: Oh, yeah. It’s just unfortunate, because it makes things a lot less productive around here than they need to be.
Abby: And it’s draining. I mean, I know, I had one of the worst business partners ever in phyllis. It doesn’t get any worse than that. I mean, billy can’t possibly be that bad, right?
Devon: They’re different. I don’t want to badmouth anybody in your family, but I think that they’re equally bad in their own ways.
Abby: I hate seeing you like this. Is there anything I can do to help?
Devon: No, no. I appreciate it, but this is something that I have to deal with on my own, and I will. I’m actually kind of happy that billy’s going to be going out of town. Because even with chance in the mix, I think things will run a lot smoother with him being gone.
Billy: Thank you very much.
Chelsea: Hey.
Billy: Hey. How you doing?
Chelsea: Oh, I just wish we were there already.
Billy: Okay, well, coffee for the road, there’s gas in the car, I wrapped up everything at work, so I’m good to go.
Chelsea: Great. Thanks. And I– I’ve stayed at this hotel before, and, um–
[ Chelsea sighs ] …I confirmed the appointment with connor’s ocd specialist, so we’re all set.
Billy: But you’re anxious anyway.
Chelsea: I hate this.
Billy: Chels, you’re doing everything you can right now.
Chelsea: I know. I’m just scared about what the specialist is going to say. And how that’s going to affect connor, and then how I’m going to react, and then how he’s going to react when he sees me react.
Billy: Okay, just take a breath, okay? One step at a time. This is about finding out what’s going on with connor. Then we listen to the doctors. They give us a protocol. We follow that, again, one step at a time. I know this is difficult, okay? But you’re gonna get through it, and I’ll be there every step of the way.
Chelsea: Are you sure you want to come with me? I feel guilty dragging you away from your new job. I mean, how did devon react when you told him you were leaving?
Billy: Uh, well…
Chelsea: He was annoyed.
Billy: Devon’s devon. You know, but chance is going to step up for me, and devon knows how to get a hold of me.
Chelsea: You know, it’s not too late.
Billy: Too late for what?
Chelsea: You should stay. Don’t come with me.
Billy: Hey, I’m coming with you. Now, look, devon actually wished us all the best, and he hopes that everything works out with connor.
Chelsea: Really?
Billy: Yes. And I believe he was sincere this time.
Chelsea: Well, that– that’s nice of him, but I still feel like there’s more to it. I know things are really tricky between you and devon right now.
Billy: Yeah, there’s tension in the air.
Chelsea: Oh, great, and now I’m dragging you away at the worst possible time.
Billy: I am coming with you. I’m committed to coming with you. Don’t talk me out of it. Okay?
Chelsea: Thank you. Have I mentioned how much I appreciate you? This would be so much harder for me if you weren’t by my side.
Adam: Hey. I, uh, figured we would take my car. Is billy here to see you off?
Billy: Actually, I’m– I’m driving chelsea. We’re travelling all across america,
Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.
Adam: Why are you going?
Chelsea: Adam…
Adam: Chelsea, this– this is a private family matter, okay? And someone from the outside could make things worse. It could make connor more uncomfortable or more self-conscious.
Chelsea: Connor hardly sees billy as an outsider. They’ve become very close, and I think you know that. If anything, billy can help put connor at ease. Isn’t that what we all want? We shouldn’t be worried about who’s going. We should be worried about this first meeting. It’s supposed to be an exploratory discussion.
Adam: Okay. Okay, what do we even know about this therapist, chelsea?
Chelsea: She comes highly recommended by the school.
Billy: There hasn’t been a definite diagnosis yet?
Adam: No, not yet. That’s part of the reason why we’re going up there. I still have a hard time believing that my son could have ocd.
Chelsea: Adam, you have to approach this with an open mind. And you have to be willing to accept whatever his diagnosis is.
Billy: The last thing connor needs is to feel that there might be a contradiction to what’s actually happening with him. So we need to be on the same page pulling connor through this.
Adam: Mm-hmm. And the last thing that I need is for you to tell me how to parent my own son.
[ Knocking on door ]
Victoria: Hi.
Cole: Hey.
Claire: You’re here. I’m almost afraid to ask. Has there been a decision?
Victoria: The judge has granted you freedom.
Claire: I’m leaving?
Victoria: Effective right away.
Claire: Michael said it was a possibility, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon.
Cole: Well, it’s done, claire. You’re getting out of here, and you’re coming home with us.
Claire: I don’t know how to feel. I mean, I’ve never been out there the way that I am now. I’m– I’m excited… but scared.
Cole: Well, it’s– it’s a big change. It’s totally normal to feel some nerves.
Claire: And what about jordan? She’s somewhere out there. God only knows what her next move is. Victor got me out of here for a reason. So whatever is going to happen with her, it’ll probably happen soon.
Cole: Well, listen, we don’t want you to worry about any of that.
Victoria: You’re not going to have to face any of this alone. We’re going to be right there by your side as you take these next steps on your journey. That’s what this is. It’s– it’s a journey. To finding your real self and to being whole again.
Claire: A journey. It’s kind of– kind of strange to think of my life that way. For so long, it was more of a mission. Every move was about getting payback or justice for something that didn’t even happen. You rejecting me. And now there’s this whole new path. Just totally new. And there’s so many options. I just want to get it right.
Mariah: Would you do me a favor?
Kyle: Hmm.
Mariah: Please? Give yourself a break. You have had an extremely rough year. First there was the breakup with summer. Then getting booted out of marchetti. I mean, your whole world was upended. Then there was that horrible mistake with audra charles.
Kyle: Mm. Thanks. That helps.
Mariah: So, have you thought about your part in any of that?
Kyle: I haven’t thought about it that way, no.
Mariah: Maybe you should do that now.
Kyle: Okay. Look, summer did break my heart. And my dad did choose her over me and marchetti. And billy refused to vacate my former co-ceo seat at jabot.
Mariah: So basically, what you’re saying is you’re just a poor, innocent victim that had no choice in anything.
Kyle: Right, I didn’t ask summer to lie to me about her very alive mother. It all just kind of snowballed from there.
Mariah: Come on. You have free will, okay? You have made your choices every step of the way. And you have to own them.
Kyle: Am I supposed to be enjoying this, ’cause I’m not.
Mariah: I’m saying this because I love you. Otherwise, I would let you go along your merry little way. But you have to examine your choices, your behavior. Figure out what you want and who you want to be. And– and not just having to do with job titles. Maybe it’ll give you a chance to see this as a new beginning. The start of the next journey for you. Kerendia presents…
Kyle: Bravo, mariah. Tear me down to set me on my journey to me.
Mariah: Oh, please. You’re too young to be wallowing in regret. Or maybe too old, okay? All I’m saying is you should just learn how to live without any more regrets.
Kyle: You’re right. You’re right, I have a lot I need to work on, and so much has happened, I need to examine where I went wrong so I don’t make the same mistake again.
Mariah: See? See? That’s positive thinking. That’s exactly what I’m talking about and what you need more of in your life. So, what’s the next positive thing on the horizon?
Kyle: Maybe that’s all the positive I can handle right now. I might get a handle on my job. It may not be the co-ceo position, but my job is still demanding. And the rest of my time and attention goes to harrison. And friends like you. What more could I ask for?
Abby: You know I can’t just leave now, right?
Devon: No, not that i want you to go, but why not?
Abby: Because even though billy is gone, I want you to be happy. You didn’t come to chancellor-winters to feel upset. I want you to be happy.
Devon: How can I not be happy when I get to go home to you every day?
Abby: No, I want you to be happy most of the time, if not all the time. Because that is the way that I feel ever since we went from being best friends to what we are now.
Devon: Yeah?
Abby: Mm-hmm.
Devon: Just pure bliss from day one?
Abby: Oh, yeah. Okay, yes, we had a rough start. But look at us now. We’re just going to keep that momentum going. So I have to help you release all this stress and tension.
Devon: How do you propose you’re going to do that?
Abby: Do you want me to tell you?
Devon: I’d love for you to tell me, yes.
Abby: Okay, I think I will get you a deep-tissue massage. Yeah, really get those kinks out, yeah. Mm-hmm, maybe a hot stone.
Devon: Oh, are you joking?
Abby: Yeah, I’m joking.
Devon: Oh, good, good.
Victoria: Just so you know, claire, you’re not completely free yet. There are some legal conditions that have to be met.
Claire: I’m ready. What are they?
Victoria: Well, first of all, you have to immediately enroll in an outpatient program with your doctors. And then you’re going to need to periodically check in with the penal system. It’s sort of like being on parole. Uh, last but not least, we’re going to have to prove that you have a security set up at the house where you’ll be living.
Claire: And where will that be? Will I move in with you? Michael mentioned that as a possibility, but i understand if it’s too much too soon, I don’t want to impose. Maybe– maybe you could just help me find some place.
Cole: But we said we’d be right beside you, and we meant it. Now, I’m still living over at the athletic club, but that’s really no place for you to call home, and it’s not secure enough.
Victoria: I wanted you to come live with me at my house. That’s what I wanted. But dad thought that it would be safer for you to be at the ranch for the time being.
Claire: Newman ranch? When I was young, I used to dream about living there. Playing hide and seek. I imagined there were all these secret passageways, about riding horses like a real newman. And then I’d remember that could never be my life, and my throat would hurt from trying not to cry.
Victoria: Well, hopefully, those feelings will change. You’ll be coming to the ranch as a newman. You’ll be living someplace where you’re loved and cared for.
Claire: That’s all I’ve wanted my whole life.
Victor: And now we need to release a statement to the press where we talk about certain aspects of my plan, okay?
Michael: Uh, the daughter that cole and victoria thought was dead miraculously comes home.
Victor: You got it. And then we stage a photo where claire walks in to victoria’s house, giving the impression to whoever reads this damn thing that claire lives in victoria’s house.
Michael: Victor, this requires so many moving parts to fall into place. I mean, it– it just takes one little item to go awry, and the whole thing’s going to blow up.
Victor: Then we will see to it that doesn’t happen, good?
Michael: Are you sure about this? I mean, have you seriously gone over all the details?
Victor: Of course I have. Since when have you known me and I have not thought through whatever I intend to do? Hmm? I play chess. Always a few moves ahead. Air wick. Hi, my name is damion clark.

Billy: Hey, why don’t you take it easy. I’m not telling you how to be a parent. I made a comment because I’m looking out for connor.
Adam: You think I’m not looking out for my son? Okay, is this how you plan to console connor, by insulting his father?
Chelsea: No, we are not doing this. We are not doing this. We are not fighting. We are not wasting precious energy arguing. Remember what sharon said? We have to take this one step at a time and not jump to conclusions.
Adam: Okay, all I’m saying is we should not take what the therapist says at face value. We should get a second opinion. Hell, we maybe should get a third opinion, chelsea.
Chelsea: Which is what jumping to conclusions means, adam!
Adam: It doesn’T.
Chelsea: We haven’t even heard what the specialist has said yet, okay? But we have to listen to the doctor who specializes in this exact issue. And you know what connor doesn’t need right now? He doesn’t need to feel the tension between you two, fighting and me playing referee. If you both can’t control yourself, then maybe you both should stay home.
Kyle: Hey, traci.
Traci: Hey, um, listen, I just sent harrison in to get a snack.
Kyle: Oh, well, thanks for hanging out with him. Where’s his nanny? I didn’t see her car out front.
Traci: Oh, linda got a call. Her mother got sick suddenly. So she’s on a plane to ohio.
Kyle: That’s awful, I mean, I should check in with her.
Traci: Yeah, do, I think she’d really appreciate it. Um, kyle, I think this is going to be an extended visit. But in the meanwhile, I’m happy to help out.
Kyle: Yeah, much appreciated, but I’ll have to talk to summer about finding a replacement.
Traci: Okay, well, take your time. I know that a good one is really hard to find. Um, he did mention to me that he misses summer being in the house with him.
Kyle: I know. He mentioned it to me, too. It’s been tough on him. I mean, even though he sees summer all the time, it’s still confusing. It adds to the losses he’s already had in his short, little life.
Traci: Yeah, he’s had a lot to adjust to, for sure. Uh, you know, people he loved disappearing suddenly. His biological mother, ashland.
Kyle: I hate that the situation between me and summer is causing him any sadness, and on top of that, he was so attached to his nanny. Now linda’s gone.
Traci: Kyle, listen to me. You should be very proud of all the things that you’re providing for your son. You’ve surrounded him with people who just adore him. You know, so he never feels alone or abandoned. And even though summer doesn’t live in the house, she loves him dearly, and she shows him every single chance she gets. Honey, he’s got me, ashley, diane and jack.
[ Traci laughs ] You are a wonderful father. Harrison is so lucky to have you.
Kyle: I hope so. I mean, every day of his life, I just want him to be happy and safe. To know that he’s loved. If I can’t do that, then I’ve let him down. And myself.
[ Claire sighs ]
Claire: This place is amazing. The grounds are like a park. It’s so big and beautiful.
Cole: Well, I remember the first time I set foot on this ranch years ago. I think I felt pretty much the same way that you do. As impressive as it is, it can be just as intimidating.
Claire: I just still can’t believe this is really happening. I’m really here.
Victor: I do not want you to worry, okay? You know me, I’ve thought through every possibility. I do have things under control.
Michael: Well, you’ve laid the bait, you’ve set the trap. Now all jordan has to do is step in it.
Victor: Then she won’t be able to resist it. Because she’ll feel compelled to confront claire, and let her know how much she disagrees with claire moving in with victoria.
Michael: And then claire will deliver the message that you want to meet with jordan concerning eve.
Victor: And then jordan will think that she’s in control. And she’ll be in for the surprise of a life to learn otherwise.
Jordan: Where is that hospital number? Ooh, ooh, there. Hello, yes, uh, this is nikki newman. I would like to be connected to my granddaughter, claire grace. No, no, you must be mistaken. Claire grace? She’s been released? Are you sure? Thank you. But it’s so soon. How is that possible?
Victoria: This is only the first step of your homecoming. But, claire… you are home. Come here.
