Young & The Restless Transcript
Transcript provided by Suzanne
Devon: You know, I’m surprised that you had time to even get lunch today, ’cause i figured you’d be hanging out with your new pal, audra.
Nate: What, because we spend so much time together? That seems like a bit of an exaggeration.
Devon: No, it’s just my, uh, not-so-subtle way of asking what’s going on with you two.
Nate: Audra’s dealing with some glissade business in paris.
Devon: Really? I thought that you said that she and tucker are done.
Nate: They are, personally.
Devon: But they’re still doing business together?
Nate: I don’t really know their arrangement.
Devon: Hm. That’s interesting. Well, if I were you, I’d probably keep your distance, ’cause any lingering connection she has to tucker can’t be a good thing and whatever she has going on in paris, I’m sure she’s more trouble than she’s worth.
Nate: Okay, uh, you and lily have made your opinions very clear, but I think we should focus on the bigger issue: Billy and his world tour.
Devon: What’d you find out about that?
Nate: Well, I, uh, reached out to the higher-ups at all the offices he’s visited. They seem charmed by him. Sounds like he put on a good show.
Devon: Yeah, I’m sure he did. And I’m sure that our top brass are very aware of the power struggles we’ve been having, and don’t know who’s gonna end up calling the shots. So, they’re probably being nice to billy, just in case.
Nate: I’m not too worried. He might be the kind of guy they wanna have a drink with, but when it comes down to it, I don’t think billy’s made enough headway to stage a coup. Yet.
Devon: Look who it is. Do I dare hope she’s not here to cause trouble?
Nate: Aunt mamie.
Devon: Hello.
Nate: When’d you get back?
Mamie: Well, I just flew in from detroit. I’m so happy to see you both. Do you think that we may be able to get lily to join us? I need to speak with the three of you.
Billy: Hi.
Lily: What are you doing here? I thought you were on your billy abbott suck-up tour.
Billy: I actually cut that short.
Lily: Oh, no more important butts to kiss?
Billy: Is devon around?
Lily: Do you think that he’s gonna go softer on you? Because I promise you, he will not.
Billy: I need to have a conversation with you, and it needs to be private.
Adam: Really, you didn’t need to come up.
Chelsea: Yes, I did. You’re clearly upset.
Adam: You aren’t?
Chelsea: Of course, I am. But we need to keep it together. For connor’s sake. You’re the one who’s been reminding me of that.
Adam: Yeah. Well, maybe I’m done putting a positive spin on everything.
Chelsea: You can’t give up on our son. You have to stay strong for him, for all of us.
Adam: I can’t take it anymore, chelsea. The fake smiles, the false optimism. I mean, after what happened today, I cannot pretend like everything is gonna be okay. – Ugh. – Cabin crew cross check.
Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…
Lily: Another private conversation. I mean, don’t you realize that you’re just fueling distrust and resentment?
Billy: Will you just hear me out for a second, please?
Lily: Why would I? After what you and jill did? I mean, I don’t know who I feel more betrayed by.
Billy: Okay.
Lily: Jill trusted me to run chancellor and chancecomm, and then all of a sudden she hands everything over to you.
Billy: And if you would give me a second, I’ll explain to you why she did what she did.
Lily: Okay, sure. Go ahead.
Billy: Just so you’re clear, I only found out about this now.
Lily: Okay. Well, thank you for sharing.
Billy: And I’m betraying my mother’s trust by telling you. But I think you should know. My, uh… jill is sick.
Mamie: So, devon, are you gonna call lily to invite her or shall I?
Nate: Uh, lily’s at the office, and we should probably be headed back as well.
Devon: Yeah.
Mamie: Well, I wanted to keep this away from the office, but if that’s gonna speed things along, then I guess I’ll be joining you there.
Devon: Okay. Well, I mean, I hope that you didn’t come back here to cause any trouble. ‘Cause nobody wants to upset you, but I think that we were pretty clear about where we stand on your ideas for what to do with chancellor-winters.
Mamie: And I heard you loud and clear. But that’s not what this meeting is about, my vision for the company. That’s not what it’s about. It’s actually the opposite.
Nate: What does that mean?
Mamie: I’m not gonna pretend that it wasn’t hurtful the way you guys ganged up on me the way you did.
Nate: Aunt mamie, that’s not what it was, okay? We were just–
Mamie: No, no. I know. I’m a dynamo, so I can be a piece of work. But I went back to detroit and I was thinking about, you know, all the things that happened, or rather what went wrong.
Devon: And what’d you come up with?
Mamie: I came to genoa city wanting to reunite our family through our family company. And I did some good. I convinced you to bring nate back into the company, didn’t I? I convinced you to come back. Oh, come on, guys. I nudged you in the right direction.
Devon: Yeah, you did.
Mamie: Problem is, I just kept on nudging.
Nate: Exactly.
Mamie: Yeah, so much so that things got off track. But that’s really why I’m here. That’s what I wanna know. What can I do to set things right? Because as much as I love this company, I love my family more.
Lily: Jill is sick? How bad is it?
Billy: It’s cardiac.
Lily: She had another heart attack?
Billy: No. No, she didn’t have another heart attack, but they think the two are related.
Lily: Well, where is she? I mean, we can have nate find her a specialist.
Billy: No. Um, she’s in london with her brother, snapper, and he’s making sure that she gets the best care, but this has to stay between us for now. But you know my mother. She’s about as strong as they get, so.
Lily: I mean, is there a prognosis?
Billy: No. Um, not that she told me, you know, but she said she’s gonna stick around ’cause I don’t think she would like to, uh, give her enemies the satisfaction. But the situation is serious enough for her to do what she did, so, you know.
Lily: Billy, I’m really sorry. I am. I mean, I know I was, you know, going off about jill, but you know she means the world to me, right?
Billy: I know she does. That’s why I wanted to tell you.
Lily: Well, I’m glad you did.
Billy: So, this whole situation has given me a sense of urgency as to what I’m trying to do here.
Lily: Wait, what do you mean? What are you trying to do here?
Billy: The reason why I came back to chancellor-winters was to protect my mother’s legacy, to memorialize her contribution to this company. And one of the ways that I can do that is by adding her name. Abbott-chancellor-winters.
Nate: It’s good to hear that you’re not back to push your agenda.
Mamie: My only agenda is family unity, whatever it takes.
Devon: Yeah, we’ve heard you say this before, right? Like, how long until you just start stirring stuff up again?
Mamie: I can understand your skepticism, devon. I came to genoa city looking for a fight. I’ll admit it. And I was just reaching for too much too soon.
Devon: See, that just tells me that you’re looking at this as a pause until things smooth out, and then you’re gonna start again.
Mamie: I can promise you that’s not true. That’s what I came to town to tell you. I am willing to take a giant step back and stay in my lane as a silent investor, and let all of the company decisions be made by you.
Nate: Oh, we’d like to believe you, aunt mamie. We do.
Mamie: But, well, now, if my word is not enough, what can I do to fix things?
Devon: Listen, if you want us to believe that you’re not gonna try and make another power play, and that you really want this company to be all about family, you’ll have to prove that to us.
Mamie: And how do I do that?
Devon: Well, you can sell your interest in chancellor-winters to us. (Vo) on average, we spend 93% of our lives indoors.
Mamie: Sell my stake in the company?
Devon: Mm-hmm.
Mamie: But don’t you think that’s a bit extreme?
Devon: I wouldn’t have suggested it if I thought it was extreme.
Mamie: But I just told you that I was willing to back off of any hands-on, you know, day-to-day decision-making.
Devon: I know what you said. But as long as you still have a financial stake in the company, you can still wield your power around.
Mamie: And you don’t trust me enough to believe me when I say that I won’t?
Devon: You asked me how you can prove that you’re genuine about really putting the family first and I’m answering you.
Mamie: You are asking me to give up on a very lucrative investment. One that I worked really hard to be able to afford. But to cut me out of the company completely? Oh, this is overly cruel.
Devon: I don’t see it as being cruel at all, mamie, because there are plenty of other great investments that you can make. And we’d be more than happy to help you find those investments. Ones that wouldn’t cause a family rift.
Mamie: I swore I was not going to talk business today, but given what you’re asking me to do… I heard that jill is handing over the reins to billy.
Devon: Yeah, she did. What about it?
Mamie: Are you gonna sit there and tell me that’s not a giant red flag?
Lily: Billy, you tried this name change with devon and nate when I was in california with mattie.
Billy: And they shut it down.
Lily: Yeah, and I agree with them because it’s ridiculous. You know how hard it was to rebrand when we merged chancellor and winters.
Billy: Look, maybe it was bold at the time, but I’m asking you to reconsider, given my mother’s illness, because god forbid, she might not make it out of this.
Lily: You think it’s that serious?
Billy: I don’t know. I sure as hell hope not. But I need to be pragmatic billy because it’s a possibility, right? And I want her to know that her legacy is secure. That everything that jill abbott did to make this company the success that it is, is recognized.
Lily: Well, it also protects your role here too, right?
Billy: Don’t do that. Don’t accuse me of using my mother’s illness for my benefit, okay?
Lily: I’m just saying what other people are gonna say.
Billy: This is not about me.
Lily: Billy, come on. Think about how this looks. You wanna add jill’s last name to the company. It’s your last name too.
Billy: I would love nothing more than my mother to live to 100.
Lily: Okay, great. So spend time with her. Go be with her. Why is this so important to you?
Billy: You know that we had some rough times over the years, she and I, okay? This is… all of that was because of my behavior and this is my chance to– to make it up to her. And I would love to do that for her before it’s too late.
Chelsea: I’m not gonna let you throw this away. And I’m not gonna let you give up on our son. We are gonna see him again soon and you’re gonna give him this gift.
Adam: When is that gonna be? I mean, it’s his favorite cookies, chelsea. They’re gonna be stale and moldy by the time they finally let us see him.
Chelsea: Well, the doctor said we can reschedule.
Adam: I feel so helpless. Every time that we get close, they pull the rug out from under us. Only the rug is connor and they’re keeping him from us. I mean, it’s a nightmare.
Chelsea: You said yourself, you’re the one reminding me that this whole process is one step forward, two steps back.
Adam: I’m done with that. Okay, we need to stop pretending like there’s anything positive in this situation.
Chelsea: We can’t stop and I need you. I need you to be the reassuring one. I need you to be the rock because I can’t do this by myself!
Adam: Look, I know that you were looking forward to this visit as much as I was and you wanted to hold him again, and you wanted to see him in person for the first time in a long time.
Chelsea: Yeah, more than I’ve wanted anything in my whole life. It was one thing when my mom got alzheimer’s,
Devon: Now, mamie, do you really think that bringing up jill and billy and then throwing around terms like red flag is the best way to show us that you’re trying to back off and not cause problems?
Mamie: You are asking me to sell my stake in this company, and you think I don’t have the right to ask you your plans? But given this news about billy’s new power?
Nate: Aunt mamie…
Devon: No, listen, listen. We’re not gonna have a debate about this, all right? We have billy under control. Now, you asked me what you can do to make things right, and selling your interest in the company is my answer. So, just think about it. Now, I need to get back to the office. Are you coming?
Mamie: Nate, I need you to stick around for a minute.
Nate: I’ll be right behind you.
Devon: Okay. All right. It’s good to see you.
Nate: What is it, aunt mamie?
Mamie: This family must work together. It’s the most important thing in the world.
Adam: Hey.
Sally: Hey. I didn’t expect you to be here.
Adam: Uh, neither did we.
Chelsea: I didn’t realize you were living here now.
Sally: Yeah, this is my first day moving in.
Chelsea: Well, congratulations. That’s great news for both of you.
Sally: Thank you. How are you back so soon? You guys just left this morning. Is everything okay with connor?
Chelsea: I’m gonna let adam fill you in. I should get going. Let you get settled in your new place.
Sally: Um, I– I– I’m so sorry, but whenever you’re up for it, I would really love to connect with you about marchetti. I don’t wanna bug you. I just have a few questions, really. It’s nothing urgent, but…
Chelsea: Yeah, of course. My god, I totally forgot. Um, I’ll– I’ll give you a call later for sure. Don’t lose the confidence you had before we left to see him. Things will get better. They have to.
Adam: Hi.
Sally: Hi.
Adam: Oh, I missed you.
Sally: I missed you too.
Adam: So much. Are you getting settled in? Huh? I don’t, uh, see a lot of your stuff here yet.
Sally: Well, yeah, I mean, this is my first trip, but hey, I’m worried about you. Why is chelsea asking you to stay confident? What happened with connor? Why do you still have his gift?
Lily: I mean, I get why she wanted to hand things over to you in private, but I just wish she could’ve trusted me to tell me the real reason behind it.
Billy: She just told me the truth now.
Lily: Yeah, I mean, I don’t agree with that, but what’s done is done. I mean, all we can do is just support her the best way we can.
Billy: I’m glad you see it that way because I’m hoping that you can convince yourself that this is the right thing to do and that it’ll actually be a benefit to this company. And I’m hoping you can find it in your heart to embrace this idea and help me present it to the board.
Lily: I mean, I understand why you wanna make this grand gesture.
Billy: Look, I’m gonna have to convince devon that this is the right thing to do, and you’re the only one that can do that.
Lily: I’m gonna have to think about it.
Billy: Okay. Well, um, until then, can you do me a favor and just not mention this to anyone for jill’s sake?
Lily: Not even devon? I mean, that’s not gonna win any points with him.
Billy: I know, but I already broke her trust by telling you.
Lily: How am I supposed to sell this idea to him if I can’t explain the situation?
Billy: Okay, will you at least let me talk to her first. Can you– can you do that for me?
Devon: Oh, hey. Look who’s back.
Billy: Hey.
Devon: Hey. Everything okay in here?
Lily: Um, yeah. You can count on my discretion.
Billy: Thank you.
Devon: Well, I can’t wait to hear how your trip went.
Billy: I’ll fill you in later, but every office that I’ve met with, they’re doing great.
Devon: You wanna tell me what that was about? ()
Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.
Billy: Hey, what are you doing here? You’re supposed to be on a plane going to see connor.
Chelsea: Hold me.
Billy: What’s wrong?
Chelsea: Oh, thank god you’re here. I know your trip was important, but I’m so glad you cut it short. I don’t think I could get through this without you.
Billy: What happened? Trip get delayed? Is everything okay with connor?
Chelsea: We didn’t end up going.
Adam: We were all ready to take off and then we got a video call from connor, and we had to cancel the trip.
Sally: He told you not to come? But I thought he was looking forward to it, that– that whenever you told him you were coming, he was more talkative, and he was telling you all the new things he was learning about the ocd.
Adam: And yeah, how he’s learning to cope. I mean, chelsea and I, we were impressed. We felt like there was real improvement. I mean, we were sitting on the plane thinking maybe he had turned a corner, and then…
Sally: It’s okay. Take your time.
Adam: His excitement made his ocd flare up this morning and it was stronger than ever.
Sally: How so?
Adam: The ocd, it couldn’t let him feel good. It told him that he doesn’t deserve to be happy. And then that led to disassociating again, and more self-harm. This time, he, uh… he punched himself in the face. I mean, we could see it on the video call. He had a mark on his cheek. It’s probably gonna bruise. I just… why? Sally, how could he do that to himself?
Sally: Okay. Come here.
Billy: Chels, I’m so sorry. I can only imagine how this feels.
Chelsea: Devastating. It’s like my heart is just being ripped out over and over, and I can’t show connor that I’m upset ’cause then he’ll just feel worse. So, I just stare at the screen and look at his face, and listen to the tone of his voice.
Billy: Not to try and put a positive spin on this, but it’s– isn’t it a good thing that he called you this time?
Chelsea: Yeah, yeah. That’s what the doctor said when we talked to her. She said that when connor hit himself, he was in a dissociative state, but then he quickly reconnected and– and realized what he was doing and called one of the nurses.
Billy: And that’s– that’s new, right?
Chelsea: Yeah, he’s never done that before, call a nurse. The doctor said that that’s a good sign that he’s learning to interrupt the ocd, that he’s learning to manage it. They say it’s an advance.
Billy: But your heart still hurts and there’s no way around that.
Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I wish I could be positive like this doctor, but this is my son. To see his face, billy, to know that he’s hurting himself, I mean, oh, it’s just so hard.
Billy: I’m almost afraid to ask, but how is adam?
Chelsea: I mean, he was okay before. Um, he was more of the cheerleader.
Billy: Yeah, you said that.
Chelsea: But this, I mean, this has really thrown him.
Billy: So, is he back to wanting to change treatment facilities and everything again?
Chelsea: He didn’t say that, but he’s very frustrated and I wouldn’t be surprised. And to be honest with you, I wouldn’t blame him.
Billy: So, he’s back to being adam.
Chelsea: Don’t do that. That’s not fair. We were both really looking forward to this meeting with connor, so I– I don’t blame him for being so upset.
Billy: I know, I’m– I’m– I apologize. I have no right to be glib. I know how difficult this is on both of you.
Chelsea: The truth is adam’s been working overtime to try to pull me up. I’m worried about him. I mean, we just keep taking turns trying to be strong for each other. I think we both just want a quick, easy resolution, but it’s not gonna happen. They keep saying every case is different. There’s no timeline, so… I just have to trust the process.
Billy: Keep doing that, okay? You keep doing that. It’s the only way forward.
Nate: Listen, everything that’s gone down at chancellor-winters, it’s shaken our family to the core. And I played a big role in that. So, I know better than anyone that it can take a lot to win back devon’s trust once it’s been broken.
Mamie: But how did my voicing my concerns about jill abbott’s motives break that trust?
Nate: It’s the way you went about it. And your focus on jill doesn’t help your case.
Mamie: And devon’s only answer is to cut me out completely? I just don’t think I can do that.
Nate: You may have to find a way to. Because if you can’t let go of your animosity for jill or your involvement in chancellor-winters, then this professional tension we’re all having, it might turn personal.
Mamie: But my warning you guys about her is putting family first.
Nate: See, it’s you saying things like that that make it seem like you came back to town to– to cripple jill, not to strengthen the family. This is a turning point, aunt mamie. Where things go from here, it’s up to you.
Sally: Adam, I know this is hard, but I think chelsea’s right. You have to stay strong. You can’t lose faith.
Adam: It’s not a choice that I’m making. I’m just– I’m spent. And connor’s physically hurting himself.
Sally: I know. And that breaks my heart because he is such a sweet kid.
Adam: I just– I don’t know how he can be turning his anger on himself. What, isn’t this something that all the experts should be able to stop from happening? None of that started to happen until after he went into treatment. How are things getting worse?
Sally: I don’t know. I mean, when you explained erp treatment to me, it sounded complicated. Exposure and response prevention. So, they trigger his intrusive thoughts and then help him manage his compulsive responses, right?
Adam: Yes.
Sally: So maybe it gets worse before it gets better.
Adam: Well, that’s the exposure and response part, but what– what about the prevention part?
Sally: I mean, it takes time to build preventative habits, right? It doesn’t happen overnight. I’m sure this takes time.
Adam: Well, the doctor did say that he stopped himself and he– he asked for help.
Sally: That’s a good sign.
Adam: But they still won’t let us visit him because of his backsliding.
Sally: Well, did they say how long it would be before you can reschedule?
Adam: Nobody will promise us anything.
Sally: It will happen. You and chelsea will be giving connor the biggest hug in the world soon. I know it.
Adam: What if it makes it worse? I mean, if just the idea of seeing us made him hit himself. Imagine what he would do if we actually see him.
Sally: Adam, don’t go there.
Adam: How can I not go there? He punched himself in the face at the thought of us visiting him. How can I live with that?
Devon: Why did you just tell billy that you were gonna be discreet about something?
Lily: Um, he just wanted me to keep something confidential.
Devon: Did it have anything to do with our plan of you joining him to run chancellor and us demerging these companies?
Lily: No, I didn’t even talk to him about that. I didn’t know he was gonna be here today. So, I wanted us to, you know, agree on strategy first.
Devon: Well, I’m glad that you didn’t, actually.
Lily: Are you having a change of heart?
Devon: No, I’m not having a change of heart. I’m just a little hesitant now because mamie is back in town and nate and I ran into her at the club.
Lily: Oh, god, now what?
Devon: She actually wanted you to be there, but we spared you. But she apologized and said that she was gonna stay out of all of our business decisions moving forward and let us run the company.
Lily: Do you believe her?
Devon: I don’t, not for a second. And now, I’m worried that if we move forward with this demerger plan with her still in the picture, it’s gonna be one big, I told you so.
Lily: Well, I mean, it was her idea in the first place, so.
Devon: I know.
Lily: When did everything get so messy?
Devon: What was it that you and billy were talking about when I came in?
Lily: Why don’t you worry about mamie and I’ll handle billy.
Billy: I got some upsetting news myself, actually. While you were on your way to the airport, I got a text from my mom and, um… it turns out she’s sick. Again, her cardiac issues have come back.
Chelsea: Oh, no. Is it serious?
Billy: I don’t know. She wouldn’t really tell me, you know, but she’s putting up a– a brave front. She admitted that it’s the reason why she gave me the reins at work. Her brother’s a doctor. I don’t know if you know that, but he’s taking care of her in london and it’s his suggestion that she steps back while she’s going through treatment.
Chelsea: Oh, poor jill. Poor you. How are you doing?
Billy: To be honest, it took my breath away at first, you know, and the– the braver face she puts on, the more my mind goes to the what ifs.
Chelsea: Yeah, how could it not?
Billy: To be honest, I feel bad even talking to you about this right now.
Chelsea: Why?
Billy: Because she swore me to secrecy and you’re the– you’re the second person that I’ve told already. I– I– I told lily and now she wants to tell devon.
Chelsea: Well, I hope she knows she can’T.
Billy: No, I mean, she said she’s not gonna say anything until I talk to my mother about it, which I’m dreading.
Chelsea: Yeah, I don’t think she’d be too pleased.
Billy: No, no, not in the least.
Chelsea: I’m surprised you told lily considering there’s so much tension at work.
Billy: Lily is an ally for me. If things get worse with my mother, I– I want to make sure that she knows that her legacy is secure.
Chelsea: Why would she need lily for that?
Billy: Because I’m on a full court press to add abbott to the chancellor-winters name and i need lily to help me convince the board and to convince devon.
Chelsea: And she’s willing to do that?
Billy: She didn’t say no and I think she understands the reasoning behind it.
Chelsea: So, what do the abbotts think about this plan?
Billy: I haven’t talked to the abbotts about it yet.
Chelsea: You don’t think you want to talk to the abbotts about it first, especially jack?
Billy: I’m not gonna talk to jack about it until I’m further down the line on this plan. Okay, go ahead, what are you thinking?
Chelsea: No, I just– I– I think a lot of this plan is dependent on trusting lily, which I don’t think is wise considering the circumstances. But what if she changes her mind and tells devon anyway and then they go talk to jill?
Billy: Now who’s jumping to what ifs?
Chelsea: No, I just– I don’t want jill to feel like you betrayed her trust because you didn’t keep her health status confidential. I mean, the last thing she needs right now is to feel like she can’t trust her own family.
Lily: So how did you leave it with aunt mamie?
Devon: She appeared to be apologetic, but you know her. So, I gave her an ultimatum and I said that if she really wants to prove that she has the family’s best interests at heart, let us buy her out.
Lily: She is not gonna agree to that. She worked very hard to get it.
Devon: That’s exactly what she said. And then she swore up and down that she would stay in her lane, but I don’t think mamie is capable of doing that.
Nate: I’m afraid I have to agree.
Devon: Why? What did she wanna talk to you about after I left?
Nate: She thinks I’m the softer touch. Stuck to her guns about wanting peace, but underneath, she’s fired up. And I don’t see her letting go anytime soon.
Devon: Hm.
Billy: I have enough history with lily to trust that lily’s not gonna say anything to devon until I talk to my mother. I think she’ll– she’ll give me that much.
Chelsea: Even if she’s not fully on board with your mission to change the name of the company?
Billy: Well, I hope she is. But look, at the end of the day, lily respects my mother, okay? And she knows that my mother wants to keep this quiet and i think that she’ll do that.
Chelsea: Does jill know that you want to add the abbott name?
Billy: She knew about the original plan and she was all in. You know, in fact, she was pushing for it.
Chelsea: And then it was shot down strongly.
Billy: Which is why I need to be very strategic about how I fight for this.
Chelsea: But jill doesn’t know, does she? I can tell because you’re being evasive.
Billy: Well, she’s got other things on her mind right now.
Chelsea: I feel like her legacy means more to you than it does to her. So maybe you should find out her wishes before you pursue this.
Billy: Chelsea, she handed me power at the company to make sure that our family legacy was protected at chancellor-winters, okay? I think she trusts me to do what I think is right. It doesn’t seem like you’re with me on that.
Chelsea: No, I’m not against you. But being on your side maybe means challenging you on this.
Billy: I don’t even know if she’s gonna show up. You know, if she’s gonna come back to work in any meaningful way if– when she recovers.
Chelsea: And if she doesn’t, that means you gain control of at least half the company, right? Is that what you want? To gain control of all of it?
Billy: Honestly, I’m just trying to do one thing at a time right now.
Chelsea: Okay. I understand. I know this is overwhelming.
Billy: I’m sorry. Um, what do you suggest?
Chelsea: I think that you should focus on supporting jill. Just be there for her. But I would be careful not to get in some big company battle because you will waste precious time with jill. That will cost you way more than you could potentially gain.
Adam: I don’t know how much longer I can trust the process. I threw that in the trash, um, in a moment of anger. Your thoughtful gift. Chelsea retrieved it.
Sally: Hey, you know what? We can always get more cookies, okay? If it makes you feel better to hurl that in the trash, I say go for it. Let your anger out. It’s a good thing. It is more than okay. It’s necessary. You cannot keep it locked inside. The key is to let it out. You just can’t let connor see it.
Adam: Well, I feel like I shouldn’t let chelsea see it either.
Sally: Okay, you cannot take that on, too.
Adam: She was practically begging me to stay strong.
Sally: Yeah, for connor. Not for her, okay? She can take care of her own feelings. Look, adam, you and chelsea are a support for each other in this, okay? But there are gonna be moments where you have to let it out. And that’s what I’m here for.
Adam: I don’t know how I would get through any of this without you.
Sally: You don’t have to.
