Kyle: Claire?
Claire: Hi.
Kyle: Hey, I’m surprised to see you here. Figured you’d be big sistering today.
Claire: That was the plan.
Kyle: Oh, what happened?
Claire: Somebody needed a break.
Kyle: I’m guessing that somebody wasn’t you? Things didn’t go well with Johnny and Katie, did they?
Claire: Johnny seemed fine with me being there. He even laughed at one of my jokes. That was a highlight.
Kyle: And Katie?
Claire: Not so much.
Victoria: Here, son. Katie?
Katie: What? [ Victoria sighs ]
Victoria: It’s okay to be upset and confused. I know it’s a lot to take in. Get a new house, a new sister. None of it feels familiar, I get that.
Katie: I’m fine.
Victoria: Honey.
Katie: I just miss my room, that’s all. All my stuff got burned in the fire.
Victoria: I know. I’m really sorry about that.
Katie: It wasn’t your fault. Anyway, I’ll get over it.
Victoria: You don’t have to just get over it. I mean, it’s something that we should talk about as a family.
Katie: I guess so.
Victoria: Maybe we ought to talk about Claire, too.
Katie: No, we don’t.
Victoria: I think that we should. I mean, you weren’t very nice to her earlier. She was so looking forward to meeting you guys.
Katie: Then, I’ll apologize if that’s what everybody wants.
Victoria: It’s not about that, all right? [ Victoria sighs ] You were so kind to her when we first learned the news about who she was and that meant so much to her. It meant a lot to me as well.
Katie: What do you want me to say, Mom? I’ll try harder.
Victoria: Katie, look, none of us expected this to happen, but it has. Claire’s your family. She’s your sister. Look, just remember this. I mean, she probably feels as awkward and out of place as you and Johnny do.
Katie: The kids at school say she’s crazy and dangerous. Is she?
Billy: Forgive me, but I’m going to assume that this is a good sign.
Lily: What is?
Billy: The fact that you wanted to meet me outside of the office. So, do you have good news for me?
Lily: As a matter of fact, I do.
Devon: Hey, hey, Mr. Newman.
Victor: How’s my man?
Devon: How are you?
Victor: How are you doing, Devon?
Devon: It’s good to see you.
Victor: Yeah.
Devon: What’s, uh, what’s with that smile on your face?
Victor: Well, I just came from a soccer game, and believe it or not, my grandson scored the winning goal with a header.
Devon: That’s fantastic. Wow.
Victor: I mean, boom. You know, just like Ronaldo.
Devon: Just like Ronaldo.
Victor: Yeah.
Devon: Spoken like a true proud grandfather. I can’t wait until Dominic gets into sports, man.
Victor: Oh, he’ll get there sooner than you think.
Devon: Believe me, I know. Time is flying by. But it’s good to see you, though. It really is.
Victor: If you have a minute, why don’t you sit down? Let’s talk.
Devon: Sure.
Victor: Yeah.
Nate: So, Tucker faked a heart attack?
Audra: You know, if I weren’t so mad at him, it would have been funny. But in the end, it was really just kind of pathetic. Desperate. He knew I had the board in my pocket and that he was only delaying the inevitable.
Nate: So, you won.
Audra: As simple as that.
Nate: I’m impressed.
Audra: Thank you. I admit, there were moments along the way when I had a lot of doubts, but I always kept my eye on the prize. And in the end, I got it.
Nate: Hm. So, what happens next?
Audra: I make Glissade a massive success.
Nate: Agreed. But this is Tucker McCall we’re talking about here. Revenge and retaliation are his forte. And Tucker does not like to lose. And you know he knows how to play dirty.
Audra: I’m not afraid of Tucker.
Nate: I can see that. But that doesn’t mean he can’t cause trouble.
Audra: You weren’t there, Nate. You didn’t see him. Tucker was shocked. I wouldn’t be surprised if he stayed in Paris permanently, muttering to himself how he used to be a big shot.
Nate: I don’t know. Tucker’s never struck me as the type to wallow too long.
Audra: Yes, but his circumstances have changed and he knows it. No matter how he tries to spin it, losing Glissade to me was a very public defeat. It will cripple him in the business world, so no, I don’t think Tucker has any more moves left. And even if he does, I know all his tricks. I have seen them up close and they don’t impress me anymore.
Nate: Good to know. Just making sure.
Audra: You know, maybe now he’ll realize why everyone he claims to care about is walking away from him for good. He’s the one pushing everyone out of his life. Ashley, Devon, and finally, me.
Nate: What if he did make those changes in his life?
Audra: Then, he’d be making them for someone else.
Nate: And not for you.
Audra: Tucker made the mistake of thinking this was part of our dance. That business conflict was a version of seduction. But those feelings didn’t just die. They were erased. All trace is gone.
Victor: So, I understand Abby is happy in her personal life?
Devon: Oh, yeah?
Victor: And that she enjoys her role on the Chancellor Board of Directors?
Devon: She does indeed, yes.
Victor: How’s everything going in the company?
Devon: They’re going well. They’re going really well. Our numbers are up.
Victor: Great to hear that.
Devon: Thank you.
Victor: Have you spoken to Tucker McCall lately?
Devon: I have not. No. We’re not on the best of terms. I don’t know if you’re aware of that.
Victor: So you haven’t heard?
Devon: Haven’t heard what?
Victor: Well, apparently he suffered an enormous business setback while in Paris.
Devon: Oh.
Victor: I have a feeling he’s so humiliated, he may go into hiding.
Devon: What do you mean by hiding?
Victor: I have a feeling he’s reluctant to come back to Genoa City because a lot of people are dancing on his grave.
Devon: Huh. Well, I sure didn’t know anything about this.
Victor: But you know, if he does come back, then he will try to weasel himself back into your company. You must know that.
Devon: No, no, no. There’s– there’s no chance of that happening. I already have one weasel to deal with.
Billy: What is this good news you want to share?
Lily: Well first, I have some other business to discuss with you.
Billy: Ah. Okay, go ahead.
Lily: Uh, Daniel and I have come to an agreement and we’re not going to move forward with the arbitration.
Billy: Really?
Lily: Mm-hmm.
Billy: Did he drop the lawsuit?
Lily: It was mutual. We came to a compromise. So, we’ll keep the Princess Louisa game and in exchange, we’ll finance a college fund for Lucy.
Billy: Lily, that’s amazing. That’s extremely generous of you.
Lily: Well, I mean, it didn’t seem right to keep fighting over it.
Billy: Even though you probably would have won the case.
Lily: Won what though? I mean, you told me, you know, I was reacting emotionally. And I was. I was hurt and angry, but I’m over it now. So, we all win a little something and we can move on.
Billy: You’re a class act.
Lily: Well, I’m trying to be now.
Billy: You are. I mean, you took the high road and that’s a lesson that I could learn.
Lily: So, how is Jill doing? Have you talked to her? [ Billy sighs ]
Billy: You know, she’ll never admit how hard this has been. She keeps talking about how the treatment’s taking too long, you know, but I don’t know. I can– I can see the toll that it’s taking. She’s having a hard time walking. She’s got shortness of breath. She’s tired all the time and that drives her nuts.
Lily: Well, yeah, I mean, she’s used to attacking life at a hundred miles an hour, so I’m sure it’s frustrating for her.
Billy: You know it. But, you know, Snapper seems optimistic. He keeps saying that the treatment is working and you know what kind of a warrior she is, so if anyone’s going to beat this, I’m putting my money on my mom.
Lily: God, I really wish I could call her. She doesn’t know that I know still, right?
Billy: No, she doesn’t. And I don’t want to cause her more stress when she finds out that her big-mouthed son started yapping about something that she does not want to share.
Lily: Well, I won’t expose you. I promise.
Billy: Thank you. I appreciate that. So, back to business.
Lily: Well, I have thought a lot about your proposal.
Billy: And just to be clear, we’re talking about you and me taking over Chancellor-Winters and running it together.
Lily: Yes, we are.
Billy: Okay, so have all this thought led you to a conclusion? Ready to pull the trigger?
Victoria: Katie, do you remember what Claire told you about her Aunt Jordan?
Katie: Which part? She kind of went on.
Victoria: Claire spent her whole childhood, her whole life up until now, being manipulated and controlled by that terrible woman. But Claire’s not crazy. She’s not dangerous.
Katie: She was in the mental hospital for being fine?
Victoria: But then the doctors decided to release her because it was the right thing to do. And now the rest of the family’s gotten to know what a good and loving and kind person she is.
Katie: Maybe she’s faking it. Maybe she’ll murder us all in our sleep.
Victoria: Where are you getting this? Please, Claire’s trying so hard to make amends. Would you please give her a chance?
Johnny: Come on. She’s trying, right?
Katie: I don’t care. You can’t make me like her. She’s not a member of my family, so just stop pushing her on me.
Kyle: The kids just got home, right?
Claire: Earlier this morning.
Kyle: So, they’re adjusting to summer break. Living in a new house. Give Katie some time. She’ll come around.
Claire: I wasn’t saying I’m giving up. Not by a long shot.
Kyle: Hm.
Claire: I just know if I try to force it, it’s going to push her away further. Which is why I came here, where hopefully my presence can’t annoy anyone.
Kyle: Oh, I know it’s disappointing.
Claire: I sort of expected it.
Kyle: Still.
Claire: I guess I did kind of have this fantasy of us all being together. Being a big sister and teaching her things. Also learning things from her, because God knows Katie has more experience in the normal real world than I do.
Kyle: And you will do all of those things.
Claire: I hope so.
Kyle: I know so. I mean, look at the list of people you’ve already won over. All of the Newmans, which is a feat in itself, and even Summer’s coming around.
Claire: A little.
Kyle: Hm. She will. And Katie will, too. Look, you’re funny, smart, genuine. You’re optimistic about living the real world, and you’re cheerful without it being fake. And you know a lot about caterpillars, so let’s face it, Claire. You’re kind of hard not to like.
Lily: Well, even though I have hated how you have butted heads with Devon, your vision and drive for the company is contagious. And it makes me feel like maybe I should be thinking bigger.
Billy: The answer to that question is already yes.
Lily: Exactly. And, you know, I mean, when I really think about it, is it a tribute to Jill and my dad if we just keep the company running in place? I mean, it’s so hard to get anything done around the office, let alone have it advanc in any meaningful way, and you’ve made me see that.
Billy: I hope I also helped you see that we’re the only ones that can fix it.
Lily: Well, as crazy as it sounds, yes, you did. And taking the company to new heights with you definitely sounds appealing.
Billy: So, we’re going to do this?
Lily: Yeah, we’re going to do it.
Billy: Well, that means we need some very expensive champagne because we’re going to celebrate.
Lily: Well, hold on, hold on. Before we start celebrating, there is a catch.
Audra: Tucker did a number on me. I let my guard down for a minute and allowed myself the fantasy that I could fall in love again. But I learned a tough and painful lesson. Trust no one with your heart, ever.
Nate: That’d be a shame, in my opinion.
Audra: Why? I’m more than okay with it.
Nate: Yes. But to let someone like Tucker McCall close the door on the possibilities of love and happiness in your life to me is a waste. Here’s to, uh, hoping you change your mind.
Audra: I wouldn’t count on that happening anytime soon.
Nate: I’m not saying anytime soon, but someday.
Audra: Hm. Have anyone specific in mind? [ Nate chuckles ]
Nate: I’m not even, um, close to there yet.
Audra: Good. Because I have an empire to build and I don’t need any more distractions in my life. [ phone pings ]
Nate: Something important?
Audra: Could be.
Nate: I’m guessing it’s not from Tucker or any other future love interest.
Audra: Very funny, Nate.
Nate: So, who was it?
Audra: It was a business meeting.
Nate: From someone pretty high up in the chain, from the looks of it.
Audra: Maybe.
Nate: Hm. So, let me guess. Is it from this mystery investor you’ve told me so little about?
Audra: Thank you. I’ve gotta run.
Nate: Yes, yes, your big investor awaits you.
Audra: Be nice, Nate.
Nate: I am being nice. It’s just that we spent the last hour or so going over every detail about this coup to take down Tucker, but you left out a key part.
Audra: Because that part is confidential.
Nate: Mm. Must be a pretty big fish.
Audra: Sorry, no clues. But I will tell you this. Glissade is not in competition with Chancellor-Winters. So, you have nothing to worry about.
Nate: Wow. Well, thank you for the heads up.
Audra: You are welcome.
Nate: Although, I am seeing a red flag here, even if you’re not.
Audra: What do you mean? What red flag?
Nate: Whoever this investor is paid an awful lot of money for what’s basically a startup that isn’t even turning a profit yet.
Audra: Because they believe in Glissade and believe in my leadership.
Nate: That’s– that’s fine and dandy, I’m happy to hear it. I just want you to keep in mind that Tucker may not be the only person you have to look out for. This money person, whoever he or she is, is going to want to know what you plan to do with their investment. And they just may have ideas of their own.
Billy: I should have known this wouldn’t be easy. You’ve always been a tough negotiator.
Lily: This is not a negotiation. It’s a compromise.
Billy: Okay. I’m listening.
Lily: Well, look, what’s important to me is that I do not want Devon or Nate to feel hurt or denigrate them in any way. And I feel like with your scenario, that’s inevitable.
Billy: Okay, but we can’t all run the company, Lily. We can’t all be bosses.
Lily: No, I agree. But Devon’s my brother. And I love him very much. I don’t want him to feel marginalized. That’s way more important to me than any business deal.
Billy: No, I mean, I understand that, but I– I mean, I don’t really know what to say to that. You know the conflict and the tension that is going on in the office right now. Devon and I, unfortunately, will never be on the same page, so it’s not going to work.
Lily: I agree. So, here’s my deal. And just so you know, this is the only way I can move forward. We divide Chancellor-Winters.
Billy: You want to undo the merger?
Lily: Yes. We let Devon take Winters and he can either run it solo or with Nate, and you and I run Chancellor. [ Billy scoffs ]
Billy: I mean, I gotta say, out of all the possible options running through my head, that was not one of them.
Lily: What do you mean? This was your initial proposal.
Billy: Oh, I know that. And you fought me on it. You didn’t want to break this company up at any cost.
Lily: I know, I know. I held on to that idea for way too long. But I had to face the reality of what we are, and not what I wanted us to become. So, if you agree, Devon takes back Winters and you and I run Chancellor. Or should I say, Abbott-Chancellor.
Claire: We’re always talking about me and my problems. We never talk about you.
Kyle: Well, my life is pretty boring these days.
Claire: I doubt that very much.
Kyle: I go to work, hang out with Harrison, watch a little TV, maybe have a drink, eat dinner, you know, wash, rinse, repeat.
Claire: That sounds pretty wonderful, actually. Quiet, normal life.
Kyle: Yeah, yeah, I can see that. But maybe it’s too quiet and normal.
Claire: You don’t talk about your work much.
Kyle: There’s not much to talk about. It’s fine. It’s okay.
Claire: I noticed that there was some tension between you and your mother a while ago. Was that a work situation?
Kyle: Yes, and I don’t want to bore you with it. It’s just– It’s one of those family things.
Claire: You wouldn’t be boring me at all, Kyle.
Kyle: Okay. Okay. I’ll give you the short version. A little while ago, my mom came back into our lives after many years where we had no contact with her at all.
Claire: She just disappeared?
Kyle: Actually, we thought she was dead. It’s another long, long story. Um, so anyway, she comes back, and it’s difficult to mend fences, you know? There’s a lot of hurt feelings and anger on my dad’s part. And mine. Eventually, we all work it out and she and my dad fall back in love and remarry. It’s happily ever after, right? Only then, my dad appoints her co-CEO of Jabot, my old job, in spite of her having no experience at that level. And now I report to my mom and so things are a little awkward.
Claire: I can imagine.
Kyle: Actually, no. Awkward is too easy of a word, Claire. Brutal is more like it. I’m just better at this than she is, Claire. And I know that sounds arrogant, but it’s true. And every time I do something or suggest something before she thinks about it, she thinks I’m undermining her, when all I’m trying to do is fix her mistakes.
Claire: What does your father say about it?
Kyle: He tells me that I need to smooth it over or he just tries to ignore it and what I don’t understand is that they both can’t see this is holding me back. It’s keeping me in my place. Claire, I earned that job. And my dad snatched it away from me and gave it to my mom like– like some sort of wedding present. [ Claire sighs ] Yeah, that’s– that’s really short version of it. That’s probably more than you signed up for, huh?
Claire: If you’re that unhappy, maybe… have you thought about going somewhere else?
Kyle: I have, but Jabot was my family’s legacy. It’s pretty hard to walk away from.
Claire: Nothing has to be permanent. Sounds like working together is making everyone unhappy. Can’t imagine this has been easy on your parents either.
Kyle: Yeah, I guess not. And maybe you’re right. Maybe it is time I take a look at what else is out there. It’d be refreshing to work somewhere where my talents are actually valued.
Victor: Send her in. Thank you.
Audra: Hello.
Victor: Hello, Audra. Nice to see you.
Audra: Ah, the same to you.
Victor: Thank you. I’m very glad this momentary glitch in our plans has been resolved. Once the lawyers have done their legal work, you can assume the reigns of Glissade.
Audra: And I am looking forward to it.
Victor: Good. You know, I wish I’d seen the look on Tucker McCall’s face when he realized that you had beaten him.
Audra: Well, I’d be happy to describe it to you.
Victor: Oh, yeah? Have a seat.
Audra: Thank you.
Victor: Yeah.
Audra: He looked stunned.
Victor: Really?
Audra: Destroyed.
Victor: I bet.
Audra: All the color drained from his face.
Victor: Oh, boy.
Audra: As though someone had opened a vein and the life poured out of him. You know, he never thought it could happen to him. Or that I would be the one to do it.
Victor: Well, I expect great things from you once you run the company.
Audra: I will deliver. I promise you that. I am curious about one thing, though.
Victor: Oh, what’s that?
Audra: You wanting to remain anonymous.
Victor: Yeah.
Audra: I understood why in the beginning, but now that it’s all over, I would expect you to want to declare your victory over Tucker and make your identity known. It makes me wonder if this isn’t just a business deal. That there’s something else you’re after with this acquisition?
Victor: My so-called motivation should be of no concern to you.
Audra: Oh, Victor, I didn’t mean to–
Victor: And kindly do not ever second-guess my intentions, all right?
Audra: Understood.
Victor: I want you to turn Glissade into a powerhouse.
Audra: That’s the plan. I’ve actually put together some ideas about how we can rejuvenate the company starting day one.
Victor: Before you make any changes, I would like to add someone to your leadership team. Namely, Kyle Abbott.
Audra: You want me to–
Victor: I know the two of you have had history. Is that a problem?
Audra: No, not for me.
Victor: Good. All right.
Audra: But Kyle already has a big job at Jabot. He’s the COO at his family’s company, so it’s hard to imagine him leaving that to come over here.
Victor: Well, situations change, don’t they?
Audra: All right. Well, if that’s the case, I’m sure I can find a division for Kyle to manage.
Victor: I do not want Kyle to run a division. I want him to become your co-CEO. [ phone rings ]
Claire: It’s my mom. Everything okay?
Victoria: Yeah, everything’s good. The kids are getting settled in their room.
Claire: That’s great.
Victoria: Um, listen, I’m sorry about how things got tense with Katie earlier. I mean, she’s a– she’s a good kid. It’ll get better, I promise.
Claire: I don’t blame her. I don’t know how I would react if I were in her situation.
Victoria: Yeah, it’s just that I don’t want you to feel like you have to avoid being at the house. I think that, you know, Katie just needs a little time to get to know you and to see how special you are.
Claire: Thank you, Mom.
Victoria: So, when will you be home?
Claire: I’m on my way.
Victoria: Good. I love you.
Claire: You too.
Kyle: Let me guess. You have to go.
Claire: Baby steps with the siblings.
Kyle: Mm-hmm.
Claire: I enjoyed our conversation.
Kyle: I did, too.
Claire: And I’m sorry if I overstepped when I suggested you should leave your job if you’re unhappy. I know it’s not as simple as that.
Kyle: Family never is.
Claire: Beginning to learn that myself. Anyway, bye.
Kyle: Bye.
Billy: Excuse me. Uh, two glasses of your finest champagne, please. And when I say finest, I mean it. We’re celebrating. Thank you, sir. This is great. Okay, so tell me. Is Devon going to give you pushback here?
Lily: Well, I already floated the idea by him and he seemed intrigued.
Billy: All right, but he assumes that you’re going to join him at Winters. He might not be as enthusiastic when he finds out that you’re partnering with me.
Lily: Well, I’ll deal with that when the time comes. Frankly, I’m actually more worried about how Jill’s going to respond.
Billy: Why do you say that?
Lily: Well, she was against it when I wanted to take the company public. And she didn’t like the idea when Mamie brought it up to divide the company.
Billy: Yeah, but that… I mean, that was all about rekindling their ancient feud. It had nothing to do with the breakup. Trust me, that was all about Mamie.
Lily: So, you’re not concerned?
Billy: Not in the least. She gave me the power. So, this is my call.
Lily: So, this is really happening.
Billy: You better believe it.
Lily: Thank you.
Billy: Thank you. To spectacular new beginnings.
Lily: To new beginnings.
Lily: So, when do we break the news?
Billy: I think that we hold off until everything is in place. I’ll talk to Jill, you talk to Devon, and I– I realize that is not going to be easy for you.
Lily: Well, I’m hoping in the end, it’ll be easier than you expect.
Johnny: All done.
Victoria: You’re all settled in?
Johnny: Yeah.
Victoria: Good.
Johnny: I like my room. It’s cool.
Victoria: What about your sister?
Johnny: No, she’s not cool. Joke.
Victoria: Did she talk to you?
Johnny: Don’t be mad at her.
Victoria: No, Johnny, I’m not mad at her. I’m just a little bit surprised by her reaction to Claire.
Johnny: It might not even be about that.
Victoria: What do you mean?
Johnny: There was this boy at school who she kind of liked and he invited her to a movie night, but then the next week he invited someone else. It was a whole thing.
Victoria: Oh. Well, when did this happen? Why didn’t she tell me about it?
Johnny: You think I’d tell you about every girl I hang out with?
Victoria: Well, you can. I mean, you guys can talk to me about anything if you wanted to.
Johnny: Yeah, I know, but Katie, she just, she thinks she can do everything on her own. She pretends she’s all tough.
Victoria: I know. I remember what I was like at that age. Nobody could tell me anything.
Johnny: Did they have TV back then or was it just radio?
Victoria: Oh, yeah. Yeah, they had television and they had cars and telephones.
Johnny: But I bet you couldn’t put the phone in your pocket.
Victoria: No, we couldn’t. They were actually attached to the wall of all places.
Johnny: No video?
Victoria: Nope. If we wanted to see someone, we actually had to be with them.
Johnny: Tough time for introverts.
Victoria: Yeah. [ Victoria laughs ] Hi.
Claire: What’s so funny?
Victoria: Oh, nothing. Johnny was just reminding me of how ancient I am.
Johnny: It was just a joke. Hey, Claire.
Claire: Hi, Johnny. Where’s Katie?
Johnny: Upstairs, not talking. I was just telling my mom not to take anything personal with her. She can be a pain sometimes, but it never lasts long.
Audra: I’m not saying Kyle isn’t highly qualified. He is, but I am more than perfectly capable of running the company on my own.
Victor: Yes, well, that was the original plan.
Audra: And I still think it’s the best one.
Victor: This is in no way a reflection of what I think of your abilities and your skills. Had I doubted those, I would not have bought the damn company. You know, this is not merely a suggestion.
Audra: What is it, then?
Victor: A non-negotiable directive. Your work at Glissade is contingent upon you agreeing to work with Kyle. Is that clear? Hello, Kyle. Thank you for coming.
Kyle: Victor.
Victor: Yeah.
Kyle: May I ask why you invited me here?
Victor: Well, now there’s nothing for you to be suspicious about. There’s been a development. In fact, some good news. Don’t you agree, Audra?
Billy: Hi, Mom. How you doing?
Jill: Oh, like I’m ready to run a marathon. How about you?
Billy: Okay, seriously, how’s– how’s your treatment going?
Jill: It’s going.
Billy: Okay, well, Snapper says it’s helping.
Jill: Yeah, it is, I suppose. Anyway, what is the news at Chancellor-Winters?
Billy: It’s fantastic news. And I really think you’re going to be happy about it.
Jill: It sounds like you’re trying to sell me something. What is it?
Devon: Hey.
Nate: What’s up? It sounded urgent.
Devon: So, I just got back from seeing Lily and Billy have a very cozy lunch together. And it looked like they were celebrating something.
Nate: Could mean Lily’s moving forward with her plan.
Devon: It could, yeah.
Nate: What, you don’t think that’s what’s going on?
Devon: I just got a very different vibe from seeing them.
Nate: Oh, come on, you can’t read anything to a vibe.
Devon: All right, well, then, I don’t know, then, maybe this is me questioning my instincts and wondering if I’ve got everything wrong.
Victor: Kyle, kindly take a seat.
Kyle: All right. I’m listening. What is this wonderful news?
Victor: So, with my off-the-record assistance, Audra is now in charge of Tucker McCall’s cosmetics business, Glissade.
Kyle: What does this have to do with me?
Victor: Well, it so happens that she needs someone to run the business with her. And you came to mind.
Kyle: Are– are you serious?
Victor: Remember, you and I had a discussion at the bar when you informed me that you weren’t quite happy with your job at Jabot. It wasn’t challenging enough. Well… co-running Glissade with Audra would be quite a challenge. You interested?
Billy: I just finished a meeting with Lily. We’re going to undo the merger.
Jill: No, Billy.
Billy: Just hear me out for a second.
Jill: No, that’s not the way I wanted it all and I’ve already explained my reasons.
Billy: Would you change your mind if Lily decided to come and work for our side?
Jill: That will never happen.
Billy: Well, it just did. Devon is going to run Winters, and Lily and I will partner together and we will be running Chancellor.
Jill: Wait, what?
Billy: It’s all coming together, Mom. Your original plan. And this time, we’ll be equal partners. Chancellor will become Abbott-Chancellor. And your legacy is secure.
Nate: Wait a minute. You don’t think Lily’s reneging on her plan to trick Billy, do you?
Devon: I’m just telling you what I saw and what I felt. That’s it.
Nate: And your instincts?
Devon: I’m starting to worry that she might really be buying into the idea of running the whole Chancellor empire with him.
Nate: Or is it possible that knowing who your sister is and how she operates, that maybe she has Billy on the hook and is slowly reeling him in?
Devon: You think I’m being paranoid?
Nate: Maybe a little.
Devon: You might be right. I think it just got to me seeing them together.
