Sharon: That’s right. Yes, please just move every meeting on today’s schedule to tomorrow. I will be unavailable for the rest of the day. Yeah, no matter who it is. That’s right. Thank you. Okay. Bye-bye.

Nick: Boss lady’s laying it down.

Sharon: Something gives me the idea that you’re taking the day off, too.

Nick: It’s not every day our baby girl comes back home.

Sharon: Can’t wait to see Faith. It’s been so long. I have to say, I’m kind of surprised. I mean in the best possible way. To just call out of the blue and want to come home before going to Europe with her girlfriends? I mean, it’s a shock, but I’m– Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful.

Nick: If we play our cards right, maybe she’ll change her mind about going to Europe for the summer.

Sharon: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah, she’s not gonna do that, is she?

Sharon: She has her father’s ,::, sense of adventure. And his sweet tooth, too.

Nick: Oh, yeah, I got all of Faith’s favorite goodies and snacks from when she was a little girl.

Sharon: Where’d all the years go?

Nick: I don’t know. But I can tell you this, this ice cream is gonna melt unless we get it in the freezer.

Sharon: Okay.

Sharon: Does everything look okay? I wish I had more time to prepare.

Nick: Sharon, it’s perfect. It looks like home. There she is!

Sharon: Finally! Oh, my gosh. I have missed you so much.

Faith: Oh, I’ve missed you, too.

Nick: Okay, I’m showing a lot of restraint, but I’m over it. Come here, come here, come here.

Faith: Dad?

Nick: Okay, I’m sorry. I’ve just missed you so much. It’s so great to see you. Let me get your suitcase.

Sharon: Come in, sweetie. Oh, my gosh. It is so nice to have you back home.

Nick: What is in here? Do you have, like, a brick collection?

Faith: Nope. Left all my heavy baggage at school.

Sharon: Are you okay?

Faith: Yeah. And you are going to love what’s in that thing. I got presents for you both. And Mariah and Tessa. And Aria. So many for Aria.

Nick: You know, we could have picked you up from the airport.

Faith: It may sound silly, but after everything that happened with Cameron, taking a rideshare alone, it was part of proving to myself that I’m okay again. That I’m me.

Nick: Okay. Well, you know you’re good, right? You’re safe. And I love you so much.

Faith: I know. I felt that as soon as I walked through the door and saw you.

Sharon: Then, why do you still seem a little on edge? Oh, sweetie. Oh, my gosh.

Nick: Here you go.

Sharon: Do you want to talk about it?

Faith: No. Why are men such jerks?

Nick: Uh, so this is about Moses? What’d he do?

Faith: He broke up with me.

Sharon: When? Why?

Faith: He said that we should date other people. That we got together too young. That experiencing different relationships is a part of the college experience. Becoming an adult. He made it sound like he was doing it for both of us.

Nick: Faith, I’m so sorry.

Sharon: It’s never easy, getting your heart broken. But the pain will go away eventually, and you’ll remember the good times.

Nick: And the next time that you fall in love?

Faith: Next time? No. I am never falling in love again.

Nick: It’s time to bring in some reinforcements.

Faith: Perfect.

Nick: I guess these comfort foods were a good call after all.

Sharon: Thank you. I should never doubt your wisdom.

Nick: No, you shouldn’t.

Faith: How do you do that?

Nick: Do what?

Faith: Still get along? You’ve broken up and gotten back together and broken up and gotten back together a zillion times.

Nick: I mean, not like a zillion.

Faith: And you’re still friends. And it’s great, but how can you stand to even be in the same room after all the hell you put each other through?

Nick: Yeah, there was a… Was a lot of hell, but there was also a lot of love, Faith.

Sharon: And it helps that your dad is one of the best people I know. He’s funny, sometimes.

Nick: Hey!

Sharon: Well, he’s thoughtful and caring and he’s the best father in the world and back in the day, he was a total romantic.

Faith: Dad, romantic?

Sharon: Oh, you have no idea.

Nick: Must be our lucky day.

Sharon: Or maybe luck had nothing to do with it and you planned the whole thing, didn’t you?

Nick: Are you complaining?

Sharon: Nope. I am not complaining. Not at all.

Nick: We have all the food and drink we’ll need. Plus, a little stove and a grill. So, we’ll be playing Mr. and Mrs. Robinson Crusoe in style. So, what do you think?

Sharon: What do you think I think? All right, Mr. Crusoe, I want to start by checking out that reef, so go get your suit on.

Nick: Who needs a bathing suit?

Sharon: I beg your pardon?

Nick: Need I remind you that we are literally the only two people on this entire island. So… You know what I’m saying?

Sharon: Uh-huh.

Nick: I’ll see you out there.

Sharon: Wait for me.

Mariah: Hey!

Nick: Hey!

Mariah: Is my little sister here? Are we still waiting?

Nick: She’s here!

Mariah: Hi!

Faith: Hi!

Mariah: Good to see you! Oh, my gosh!

Tessa: So good to see you.

Faith: I’m getting that a lot.

Sharon: Yeah.

Faith: You didn’t bring Aria?

Mariah: Oh, no. Um, she was still napping.

Tessa: So, we just left her with the sitter.

Mariah: Are we interrupting?

Faith: No, you’re just in time. Mom and Dad were about to tell me their whole love story.

Nick: We are?

Sharon: I’m pretty sure you already know it.

Mariah: I mean, I’ve heard part of it.

Tessa: I mean, I know even less.

Faith: And I want to hear it all. The good and the bad.

Nick: I don’t think we have enough snacks for that.

Faith: Oh, we do.

Mariah: Yeah. So, come on, let’s hear it.

Sharon: We were so young, driving around in that old pickup of yours, listening to the radio like the rest of the world didn’t exist.

Nick: Yeah. First time I ever saw you, that was it. I was done.

Sharon: It’s been a wonderful evening, Nick. I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed myself more.

Nick: We didn’t do anything special.

Sharon: I guess that’s part of it. Just spending time with a guy I like so much. Spending time with you. Just talking about anything and everything. Mostly just being close to you. I haven’t been this happy in so long. Thanks to you, Nicholas Newman. I wonder why we work so well together.

Nick: Chemistry. You bring the best out in me.

Sharon: You do the same for me. You came on a little strong.

Nick: A little? I’m surprised you gave me a second chance.

Sharon: I guess I knew even then.

Nick: Knew what?

Sharon: What kind of guy you really are.

Faith: Love at first sight. It couldn’t have been that easy.

Nick: No, it wasn’t easy. Your mom was dating this creep named Matt Clark.

Sharon: And then, you started dating my friend, Amy. Obviously, I came to my senses and I broke up with Matt to be with your dad. Unfortunately, Matt did not take that too well.

Tessa: How bad did it get?

Sharon: It was terrible.

Faith: Did you beat him up?

Nick: Yeah, there was some of that.

Matt: Come on, man. Come on.

Mariah: That sounds pretty intense.

Faith: What happened next?

Nick: Matt just wouldn’t let it go, so it, uh, got ugly.

Sharon: Please, stay with me. Don’t go, okay?

Nick: Sharon, no. Matt Clark will pay for what he did to you. I have to go.

Sharon: No, Nick, it’s over. It’s over. I’m all right.

Nick: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Okay, think. Think. Think. Fingerprints? Get them off. Here’s your magazine.

Larry: This ain’t no skin rag, boy.

Nick: Oh, guess you’re gonna have to read.

Larry: Won’t be nearly as interesting as this. “I love you. I will never stop loving you with all my heart. Sharon.” Just must be one knockout, this Sharon, huh? One hot, little babe. There is nothing fun about prison. But eventually the charges were dropped because my ex, Amy, came forward and confessed to the shooting.

Faith: Thank God. Imagine if she hadn’t and you two hadn’t gotten back together again.

Sharon: Matt wasn’t our only obstacle. There was also your grandmother.

Nick: What is it specifically that you do not like about Sharon?

Nikki: Well, I thought she was brash. She was very pushy. I thought she was extremely aggressive.

Nick: Why? Because she came out here to meet you?

Nikki: Partly.

Nick: And someone who isn’t after me for my money wouldn’t do that.

Nikki: A proper young lady would wait to be invited.

Nikki: Well, I guess you and I just have different ideas on what a proper young lady is.

Mariah: Wow. Nikki goes hard.

Tessa: When did Noah come along?

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, I bet Noah’s birth made Nikki and Victor accept you. They love their grandkids.

Nick: I really don’t know how things could get any better.

Sharon: Well, they can, Nicholas. Our life together can become even more special, more perfect. And it’s going to.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Sharon: The most wonderful thing has happened. I’m pregnant. I’m going to have your baby. Your son, Nicholas. Your son.

Nick: It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. You’re my boy. Noah’s birth was life-changing.

Sharon: There were more changes to come.

Nick: Why is it that you’re so hung up on Cassie that you don’t have time for me anymore? Why is she such an obsession with you?

Sharon: Because she’s mine, Nick.

Nick: What the hell does that mean?

Sharon: It means that Cassie isn’t Grace’s cousin. Cassie’s my child. The one that I had to give up when I was .

Nick: But you’re saying–

Sharon: Yes. Cassie’s my daughter. And I understand why you thought that I was taking time away from us, but now you know that Cassie really is part of our family.

Nick: Now, you hold on. We agreed no more children right now. And now you expect me to make time for a child that isn’t even mine?

Sharon: Nicholas, please. Please. Give this a chance. Give us a chance.

Nick: I admit I had some issues at first.

Sharon: But eventually, he came to love Cassie as his own.

Nick: This is really awesome, sweetheart.

Cassie: You can have it.

Nick: Thank you.

Cassie: No, thank you. I never had a family before and now, I do.

Nick: You betcha you do. Come here.

Sharon: If only we had also found Mariah at the same time. What a gift it would have been to have my daughters growing up together as sisters.

Faith: That would have been amazing.

Mariah: Well, I’m– I’m genuinely happy that Cassie got a better deal. She’s lucky to have Sharon and Nick as parents.

Nick: We were the lucky ones to have her in our life.

Faith: So, you got married. You’ve got kids. Were you living the dream?

Nick: Working for my dad had its challenges.

Victor: My boy, I’ve looked forward to this since the day you were born. My son joining me in my business.

Nick: I know you wondered if I’d ever make it.

Victor: Well, there were moments when I had my doubts, but that’ but that’s all behind us now.

Sharon: He is your father and he deserves your respect.

Nick: I do respect him. That doesn’t give him the right to try and run my life. And why can’t he understand that I will not let the coffee house interfere with my job at Newman Enterprises? Have I ever once dropped the ball at work?

Sharon: No, it seems like you’ve worked harder.

Nick: You’re damn right, I have. His asking me to get rid of Crimson Lights is being totally unreasonable and I’m not gonna do it. There was a lot going on.

Sharon: Too much.

Nick: I cheated on your mom.

Mariah: Way to drop that bomb, Nick.

Sharon: I cheated too.

Faith: You guys!

Sharon: I slept with Diego once and you shacked up with Grace Turner how many times?

Nick: It’s ancient history, Sharon. I see you’ve already moved on to the next guy.

Sharon: You know, this has nothing to do with David.

Nick: Oh, David? That’s his name? No wonder you were so quick to shove that divorce down my throat.

Sharon: You know damn well why I want a divorce. Because I’m sick of watching our children suffer while you sit around deciding whether or not you’re gonna forgive me.

Nick: Yeah, and you’ve already moved on to the next guy.

Sharon: God, you are obsessed!

Nick: Yeah, you’re right, I am, because I can’t get it out of my head.

Sharon: What?

Nick: You and Diego going at it. You call me a hypocrite? You portray yourself as a sweet, innocent housewife, when all the while, you’re looking for the next guy to jump in the sack with.

Sharon: You really think that little of me? After all these years, after everything we’ve been through? Is that who you think I am?

Nick: Actions speak louder than words.

Sharon: You’re right. Actions do speak louder than words. Loud and clear. You sign those divorce papers, Nick. You hear me? You get them signed. Put an end to this farce of a marriage.

Nick: That was, uh, a tough time for us. But the hardest blow was losing Cassie. It gutted us.

Victoria: Honey, there’s nothing left for you here anymore.

Nick: I just want to sit a while.

Victoria: All right. All right, I’ll sit with you then.

Nick: Alone.

Victoria: I don’t think you should be by yourself.

Nick: You don’t? Then, why don’t you tell me who I should be with? Because right now, I don’t have a clue, so you tell me. I couldn’t handle my grief, so I, uh, I acted out. But, I hurt a lot of people. Your mom, most of all. You think I’m strange, don’t you? For telling you that Cassie talks to me.

Phyllis: Mm-mm. No, I don’t.

Nick: I don’t know why I told you that. I’ve never told anyone.

Phyllis: Well, I’m glad you felt comfortable to share it with me.

Nick: It felt good to have someone to talk to about it.

Phyllis: I’m glad you’re talking to me.

Nick: And this is going to make all my problems go away?

Phyllis: I don’t know if it’s going to do that. It’s just sort of acknowledging what you went through this year and what we’ve been through together. So, you should open it.

Nick: Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil. It’s beautiful. Thank you.

Sharon: I saw Phyllis buy this exact outfit.

Nick: It’s news to me.

Sharon: No, it isn’t. She bought it for you.

Nick: Why would she do that?

Sharon: Tell me, Nick. Was she wearing this when you two had sex in this hotel room? Or how about when you were in the stables? Or perhaps it was that cheap motel room that you stayed in during the snowstorm? Then, it could have been any number of occasions. How many others were there, Nick? Tell me! How long has this affair with Phyllis been going on? I wish that Cassie hadn’t died. I wish that we could have turned to each other when she did. But we didn’t. You couldn’t. I wish that we hadn’t changed. But we both have. We’re not the same people that we were a year ago. We’ve been fighting to hang on to something.

Nick: Yeah, we have.

Sharon: And?

Nick: Maybe we shouldn’t anymore. We both tried to move on. But then…

Sharon: The cabin?

Nick: Yeah, and not just once.

Sharon: The first time was how you came into existence, Faith.

Nick: I found a letter that your mom had written me, but she never sent it. She was telling me that she will always love me. I realized I felt the same way. The second time, there… Moments pass, but sometimes, the feelings don’t.

Sharon: Do you think if Cassie hadn’t died, that we would still be together?

Nick: Yes.

Sharon: I do too.

Faith: Wow.

Mariah: Big wow.

Faith: But it’s not like you guys went straight into some kind of instant happily ever after.

Nick: You’re a tough case. But, you’re right. Um, it wasn’t, uh, it wasn’t always easy, but the happy part was finding out that your mom was pregnant.

Sharon: There were a lot of other complications after you were born.

Faith: I know this part. Adam kidnapped me and gave me to Ashley Abbott.

Nick: But we got you back, our baby girl.

Sharon: Just like Cassie predicted.

Tessa: Cassie predicted Faith?

Nick: We have cherished every moment with you, every one of them. You’re such an amazing daughter. You really are one of a kind.

Cassie: You’ll have another little girl someday.

Sharon: Cassie, honey. We have our little girl.

Cassie: One day, you’ll… You’ll have another one. I know it. One day.

Tessa: Oh, my God. Your twin, babe.

Sharon: Having our precious little girl in our family again, in our lives, it was a wonderful time.

Faith: Until you and Dad decided to fight over custody of me.

Sharon: Well…

Nick: Yeah, um… we’re sorry we put you through that.

Sharon: We both thought that we were in the right and it turns out we only ended up hurting you.

Faith: But even after all of the fights and all the other relationships, the love was still there. You still wanted to get married again.

Sharon: I really believed that we could get it right.

Mariah: That is a wedding, almost wedding, that I will never forget.

Nick: Do not listen to him.

Sharon: Don’t touch me! Even when we were at our angriest, your father said, because we love each other, anything’s possible. And he was right.

Tessa: Oh, um, Aria’s awake and the sitter needs to get going.

Mariah: Yeah, I’m so sorry to cut this short, but um, this was a very fascinating trip down memory lane. Um, I love you guys and we’ll spend some time together soon, yeah?

Faith: Tell Aria I’ll be over for cuddles.

Mariah: Yeah, I will. I love you.

Sharon: I love you.

Mariah: Bye, guys.

Nick: Bye.

Tessa: Bye.

Nick: Was that, uh, too much information?

Faith: I’m glad I know everything.

Sharon: You sure?

Faith: I understand now how things were. How maybe even the bad times, the mistakes made your relationship even stronger.

Nick: Life’s messy, Faith, and so is love, and you’re finding that out right now for yourself, but what I think keeps people grounded is family. It brings you back to center, no matter how far you’ve drifted. And who knows, maybe someday Moses will realize that you’re his center.

Faith: Is Mom yours?

Nick: I will always have love in my heart for your mother. Even after all the heartache that we’ve caused each other, I think we’ve found the right balance. And that’s all tied to you and Noah. You are our center.

Sharon: Perfectly put.

Nick: Right? Yeah, okay. So, now that that’s settled… you still love us?

Faith: Even more.

Nick: Mom? Dad? Victoria, how did you get here?

Victoria: You’ll never guess. By airplane.

Nick: No, when did you get back?

Victoria: Very recently.

Nick: Have Mom and Dad seen you?

Victoria: No. No, not yet.

Nick: Wow. Wow, it’s great to see you.

Victoria: What are you doing here?

Nick: Did you really think I was gonna let you go through this alone? You look beautiful. Mom, I know you’re gonna make it through this.

Nikki: You think so, huh?

Nick: You’re tough. You always have been tough. Anyway, I’m here now. Maybe I can help. No, I know I can help, Mom.

Nikki: It has been pretty lonely around here for me lately. Suddenly, I’m very, very glad to have my son back home.

Victor: Take a little more time. Take a little more time. Take a little more time. Mean it. Good. Good. Good. Good. Every time you go into the ring sparring with someone, it’s like walking through fire. Everyone is scared, okay? It’s a question of how you overcome that fear. But the look in your eyes tells me that you will overcome that fear. You’re Victor Newman’s son.

Victor: How time flies. Anyway. You be cool, okay?

Nick: I’m always cool. Have I told you lately how much I love you?

Nikki: Honey, I love you, too.

Nick: I know you do. Everything is gonna be great.

Victor: You make me proud to be a grandfather. When I see you with your kids, it makes me happy. It makes me proud. Come here.

Nikki: Nicholas.

Nick: Mom.

Nikki: I’m so glad you’re here. Mm. Did Faith get home safely?

Nick: Yeah, getting settled in as we speak.

Victor: Well, don’t let me keep you from her. Why don’t we get down to business?

Nick: All right. But first, there’s something I would like to say to you both.

Nikki: Please don’t tell me there’s bad news.

Nick: No, Mom. It’s, uh… It’s nothing like that. It’s nothing bad. I just wanted you both to know how much I love being your son, how indebted I am to this life you’ve given me.

Nikki: Oh. What a wonderful thing for you to say, but where is this coming from?

Nick: Sharon and I were talking to Faith, and she wanted to know about our history. You know, the past, our relationship, all of it, so we told her. You know, the good and the bad and it occurred to me that it’d been quite a while since I’d taken a hard look at some of the things I’ve done and the mistakes I made and… you know, the people I hurt. I’d like to think that I made some of those things right and, uh… done better, tried harder. And who knows, maybe even grown some wisdom. But it’s because of you two, you know, the lessons that you taught me. I couldn’t have asked for better role models.

Victor: My boy, we couldn’t have asked for a better son.

Nick: Thanks, Dad.

Announcer: Next week on The Young and the Restless…

Lily: The constant infighting has been stopping Chancellor-Winters from growing and I think that Billy and I have come up with a scenario that will stop the constant fighting and conflict.

Mamie: Now this, I’d like to hear.

Victor: Well, I certainly hope, Kyle, that you’re still considering it because I hate for you to waste your talent at your present place of employment.

Kyle: Maybe… it is time for me to think about a change.

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.

Nate: Your sister knows what she’s doing.

Devon: I still think we need to keep our guard up, though. I’m going to Paris with Abby to check on her mom and I would like for you to keep an eye on Billy while I’m gone.

Lily: Oh, you don’t have to worry about Billy. I have him right where I want him. But can you rethink your trip to Paris? Because this whole thing is going to explode.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Jim

Abby: My phone rings in the middle of the night and it’s my mom telling me that she’s checking herself into a psychiatric clinic in France to treat her dissociative identity disorder. And no one bothered to tell me about it? This is the first that I’ve heard of it?

Billy: I– I didn’t know about this hospital. I knew nothing about that until Jack actually called me as he was boarding a plane to go visit her.

Abby: I am her daughter.

Billy: I know, Abby. I’m sorry. It must’ve been brutal to find out about your mother, about what’s been going on with her in this way.

Abby: I mean I– I can’t believe she’s been struggling like this and I had no idea. I mean, I should’ve been there for her. I need to be with her now.

Billy: Is she seeing visitors at this point?

Abby: Of course, she told me not to come, but I don’t care. I’m leaving as soon as I can.

Billy: Yeah, I understand that. You just wanna be with her.

Abby: As much as I hate that my mom didn’t share any of this with me, what really infuriates me is that my family didn’t bother to tell me about it. And that includes you.

Claire: Okay, I put flowers in the bedrooms and… Oh, I stocked the kitchen with their favorite snacks and breakfast options.

Victoria: How did you even know what to get?

Claire: I may have asked a cook up at the main house.

Victoria: Look, you are their big sister. You’re not their nanny. So you don’t have to take care of them. That’s my job. Although, I’m sure they’re gonna resist any mothering attempts on my part anyway.

Claire: Right. ‘Cause Johnny’s entered the teen years. And Katie’s only 11, but she probably acts older because she copies her older brother.

Victoria: You’ve been reading up on your adolescent development, haven’t you?

Claire: I just wanna be prepared.

Victoria: Well, then you should know that Katie considers herself a teenager already, and, uh, we all just have to go along with that.

Claire: Got it. No hovering.

Victoria: Hey, you know what? It’s gonna be okay.

Claire: I just want them to feel welcome in their new home and not mind that some strange new sister is a part of it.

Daniel: Hey.

Heather: Hi. Hi, hi. Um, don’t you want a coffee?

Daniel: Uh, I better not. I’m already too on edge.

Heather: Okay, well, you have absolutely nothing to be nervous about. You have creative passion and justice on your side. And please do not forget, we are in the right.

Daniel: Yeah, well, you know, I appreciate the pep talk, but I really don’t see this as black and white, you know, battle of good versus evil.

Heather: Well, it’s an arbitration, but that doesn’t mean we’re not gonna fight.

Daniel: It’s a suit that I filed against Chancellor-Winters. A place that gave me a break when I needed one. Badly.

Heather: Is that what’s got you bothered? Or is this about facing Lily today?

Devon: So, do our chances look good?

Deirdre: The arbitrator is known to side with big business.

Nate: Pair that with the ironclad contract Daniel signed, and I’d say we’re in excellent shape.

Deirdre: Not to be overly confident, but they don’t stand a chance.

Devon: Hm, well, that’s exactly what we wanna hear. Right? Right, Lily?

Billy: You’re right. We did keep that from you. And that was a choice.

Abby: How could you?

Billy: Look, we knew something was going on with your mom, okay? But we didn’t wanna worry you until we had a better understanding of what that was. On top of that, your mom asked us not to say anything.

Abby: Yeah. There always seems to be some convenient excuse why no one in my family tells me anything. Not just the Abbotts, the Newmans too. It’s actually quite amazing how often that happens.

Billy: I don’t think that’s exactly fair.

Abby: No, fair– fair would be treating me like the adult that I am. Not someone that can’t handle upsetting news. Like a fragile little child.

Billy: You’re not that, and we know that.

Abby: Then why didn’t it occur to anyone that I would wanna be there for my mom? That maybe I could be helpful to her?

Billy: It just wasn’t our call to make, Abby.

Abby: Oh, please, that’s not an excuse, okay? Apparently, my mom has been dealing with blackouts and fending off alternate personalities for months now. But yet it was too soon to fill me in? No, maybe you’re the ones who let this go too far. Maybe if I had been involved, maybe I would’ve fought to get her the help that she needed before it had gotten this bad.

Billy: I get it. I do. And I’m not trying to pass the blame here, but Jack and Traci, they were in the thick of this with– with your mom, okay? And it’s… They were holding on to the information.

Abby: And that must have been hard for them, having to navigate all of this on their own. But think about my mom and how terrified she must have been, not knowing what was going on.

Billy: Let’s not make this worse about… Worrying about how it all went down, okay?

Abby: Oh, my God.

Billy: What?

Abby: Oh, my God. Um… I just realized that, um… Tucker warned me that my mom was in trouble, and I thought he was just insinuating himself back into her life, trying to be the center of attention, but… Tucker knew what was going on with my mom before I did.

Victoria: I know that you’re nervous to meet your siblings. It’s totally understandable. But, I mean, don’t forget, you’ve had video calls with them.

Claire: Yeah, they’ve seen me on a screen, but in person, it’s different. They’re coming back to a whole new home, one that I’ve been living in before them. How’s that gonna make them feel?

Victoria: That is true, but the ranch itself is like a second home to them. And they are gonna feel welcome because of all of the things on that list of yours and the special little touches that you’ve put around the house to make them feel happier to be back.

Claire: I’ve been living in their space and monopolizing your time. It’s huge to them. A new home and a new sister that they never knew they had?

Victoria: But, Claire, you’re a part of this family now. They’re not gonna see you as an intruder. I promise you that. Let’s not forget, you’re amazing with kids, okay? They’re gonna adore you.

Claire: If you think so.

Victoria: I know so.

Heather: You can’t look at this as an attack against Lily. This is simply about asking for what’s rightfully yours.

Daniel: Not according to the contract I signed.

Heather: You were terminated for personal reasons. And when you made a very reasonable request to hang on to an important piece of intellectual property, the decision to deny you was punitive and that mitigates any contractual agreement. The arbitrator will see that.

Daniel: Because you’re a great lawyer.

Heather: Fighting for what you deserve.

Daniel: This– this is more than a legal argument. I mean, it means so much more to– to all of us. You know, we’re not just advocating for my right to a game. We’re defending our affair.

Heather: Well, hopefully it doesn’t come to that.

Daniel: And if it does?

Heather: Then, I am ready for whatever their lawyer throws at us.

Daniel: I don’t know if I am. I’m gonna have to go there, I’m gonna have to see Lily and say that I deserve all of these things, when– I mean, let’s face it. I cheated on her.

Heather: Okay, I’m gonna do my best to make sure they don’t put you on the spot. Let me take their fire. I am– I’m good at this. This is what I do. Okay, and this isn’t just a job. I really, I believe in you, Daniel. I believe what you are fighting for.

Daniel: Of course. You know, and I trust you to handle this the right way. I just– I hate that it’s come to this.

Heather: Yeah, well, there’s no turning back now.

Daniel: Maybe there is.

Devon: You’ve been a little quiet.

Lily: Well, I don’t really feel like celebrating our upper hand at the moment.

Devon: I know this is probably gonna be difficult for you to have to relive your breakup with Daniel through the whole thing, but Nate and I are here to support you.

Nate: And given how much we have in our favor here, maybe the arbitration will go quickly.

Deirdre: That’s my goal.

Devon: Which would be great. That way we can put it behind us and hopefully avoid any more public damage.

Lily: Yeah, totally painless.

Devon: Nobody says it’s gonna be painless, but what can we do to help you feel better about it?

Lily: Uh, we’ll see you at the office, Deirdre.

Deirdre: Thanks.

Lily: I was up all night thinking about it, and I don’t think that arbitration is the answer.

Heather: I– I don’t know what you expect me to do at this late date. Besides, they– they’re the ones who pushed us to this position.

Daniel: I know. I– I told you that Lily said she would consider the possibility of a compromise.

Heather: Right, with absolutely no indication from the lawyer at Chancellor-Winters about wanting to cut a deal whatsoever. I mean, she’s been the one who fast-tracked this. I personally thought it would’ve taken weeks, if not months.

Daniel: I don’t know if I can move forward with it.

Heather: You have cold feet. That’s– that’s what’s going on. It’s normal because you have to face Lily, but you gotta trust me, Daniel. I am going to make this as painless as possible.

Daniel: This is– this is more than just a case of last-minute jitters. Look, I have been over this in my head. I– I thought that getting Princess Louisa ˯ back was gonna bring me some kind of sense of relief and satisfaction, but she netted the game. It’s just, after everything that’s happened, it’s tainted to me now.

Heather: Please don’t say that. You made it for our daughter.

Daniel: I did. And it still represents all of the love I have for her and for our family, but it is also– it has become a pawn in this battle that I’m fighting with Lily because I hurt her. And she retaliated. I mean, that’s why we’re here now. And now, every time I think of the game, that’s what I’m gonna think of.

Heather: Daniel, I love you, but you can’t let this conflict color things like that.

Daniel: Listen, the game has served its purpose. It brought Lucy y ba to me. It brought you back to me. And that is more than I could’ve ever hoped for. But now it also represents the pain that I caused Lily.

Heather: I don’t know what you’re saying, so… what do you wanna do?

Daniel: Let it go. We move on from this. I mean, I can feed on the happiness that we found to create something new.

Lily: I wanna offer Daniel a compromise in addition to his severance package.

Devon: What kind of compromise?

Lily: I wanna let him keep Princess Louisa.

Nate: But we’re hours away from going to arbitration. And you heard our lawyer. She says it’s a slam dunk. We get to keep our IP and refute their wrongful termination claim.

Lily: Yeah, I know. I know.

Devon: So, why would we give them a deal?

Lily: Look, I– I told you I was having a change of heart, you know, and I wanted to consider a compromise.

Devon: No, I know, but like he just said, this is really last minute. And this whole thing has been about keeping a hold of the crown jewel of OmegaSphere, and now you just wanna let it go.

Nate: You heard Deidre. She firmly believes Daniel has no claim to it.

Lily: No, I know, and– and she’s right. The contract says that. But, look, I’ve had time to calm down, and I know that I was reacting emotionally when I fired Daniel and Heather. And I was just so focused on winning and so angry that I ignored what you both and Billy said when you were trying to talk me out of it.

Devon: Yeah, but I backed you up on it and–

Lily: No, I know, and I– I appreciate that. I do. But you were right, you know? I’m gonna be painted as vindictive in the press, and we just– We don’t need any more drama. You know, we have bigger battles to fight. Look, this is what I wanna do. I wanna put my energy where it’s needed most. So, do you both agree?

Claire: Last thing on my list. I got them gifts.

Victoria: Oh, you didn’t need to do that, Claire.

Claire: Well, they’re only little, and they might actually be too silly. Can I get your opinion?

Victoria: Yeah, of course.

Claire: So, for Johnny, I got him a red earbud case. He can never seem to find his when we’re gonna do a call, and I know he likes the color ’cause it’s all over his dorm.

Victoria: Yes, red is his absolute favorite color, and you’re right, he’s always losing those things. It’s like the perfect gift.

Claire: Great, and then I got a soccer ball charm for Katie’s bracelet. I noticed it in a photo. I hope she still wears it.

Victoria: Oh, she does, on special occasions, yeah. My mother bought that for her when she was born. It’s really thoughtful of you.

Claire: Great, then I will go wrap them.

Victoria: Okay. [ knock on door ] Coming.

Cole: Hey there.

Abby: Tucker told me I should check in on my mom, but I– I thought that he was just butting in. I thought he was trying to make it seem like he knew my mom better than me.

Billy: He did insert himself into the situation. One of the nights at the Abbott house, he showed up unannounced. I actually tried to kick him out.

Abby: And were you successful?

Billy: Well, eventually he left, but that was the first time that we heard from Tucker that your mom referred to herself in third person.

Abby: Oh. And you didn’t bother to do anything about it?

Billy: Abby, we tried. We tried hard, trust me, but she fought us on it. It’s a little tough to explain, but she had a counterargument for every concern that we had. We were overreacting and she was totally in control. And it didn’t help that the biggest concern was coming from Tucker on the heels of Ashley’s accusations about the way that he treated her in Paris, so don’t feel bad about blowing him off because we all did.

Abby: This whole time, we were blaming Tucker for what was going on with my mom, but in reality, he wasn’t at fault.

Billy: No, no, no. I wouldn’t go that far at all. That guy does not get a free pass. I mean, he played plenty of mind games with your mom. I mean, he left their marriage because she wouldn’t walk away from her family. As far as I’m concerned, your mother’s pain and suffering, most of that is because of Tucker.

Cole: Is this a bad time? Are the kids here yet?

Victoria: No, their plane hasn’t landed yet, so come in.

Cole: Oh, okay, all right. So, uh, hm, I figured Claire would be here to greet them.

Victoria: Yeah, she’s upstairs wrapping a couple of gifts for them. Between you and me, she seems pretty nervous.

Cole: And how about you?

Victoria: Well… when Claire said that she was worried about Johnny and Katie, thinking that she was interloping, I denied it, but between you and me, um… I don’t know. I’m not certain how this is all gonna go.

Cole: Hm. So, that’s a pretty huge change.

Victoria: Yes, it is. It’s– it’s a huge change, and kids can be so unpredictable at this age.

Cole: And maybe territorial?

Victoria: It might be a little threatening. You know, that Claire has been living here, helping to get our new home set up while the kids have been away at boarding school. Maybe I’ve been giving her more attention than I’ve been giving them.

Cole: Even if they feel that way, it’s not true. And they’re gonna realize that. You know, from everything that I’ve heard about them, Johnny and Katie were raised with unconditional love. And it’s that love that they carry with them every day. And they’re gonna be reminded of that the second they see their mom’s face.

Victoria: How do you do that? How do you just calm me down like that? And I don’t know what you do or what you say, but it works every single time.

Cole: I don’t even think about it. I just call it like I see it. Because I believe in you.

Abby: What really gets me is that when I think back on the past few months, there have been several times when I felt like my mom wasn’t acting like herself.

Billy: How so?

Abby: Well, she was distracted, dismissive of me. And then, she came in here with Alan and she was acting very flirtatious. I thought, “Well, hey, maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe she’s finally moved on, and she’s interested in someone other than Tucker.” But when I think about it, that was– It was very out of character.

Billy: I had a few run-ins with her myself where she seemed off. Look, we tried to do everything we could. We actually had a little mini intervention as well.

Abby: And you didn’t include me?

Billy: It was impromptu. It really was. It was the night that I kicked Tucker out of the house. And she agreed to go get some help, and the next day Traci brought her there, and then she ended up bolting. She said that this attention wasn’t necessary and that she was totally fine.

Abby: Well, if I were there, I wouldn’t have let her leave.

Billy: I’m really sorry, Abby. I personally apologize for how this was handled. But what’s done is done, okay? So, let’s focus on the good news. Your mom is doing better. She’s accepted her diagnosis. She’s in a safe place, surrounded by doctors that really know how to help her deal with this.

Abby: Yeah. My mom is tough. But what she’s going through is terrifying, not just for her, but for the people who love her. So, I need to make up for lost time and I’m gonna be there for her. I’m gonna fly to Paris. I’m gonna leave as soon as I can, just to be nearby for when she’s ready to see me.

Billy: I think she would love that.

Abby: Well, I’m not so sure about that. She told me not to worry that she’s got this, but I don’t know. I’m not giving her a choice. [ cell phone buzzes ]

Billy: Sorry. My notifications are set to let me know when Johnny and Katie’s flight is about to land.

Abby: Oh, yes. I’m sure you and my sister are very excited to have them home for the summer.

Billy: I can’t wait. I miss them like crazy and I just hope that this reunion is drama-free. I’m taking them to the Tack House and they’re gonna meet Claire for the first time.

Abby: Oh, wow, that’s a big family moment.

Billy: Yeah, it is.

Abby: You’re facing things on all fronts.

Billy: Yeah, you have no idea. Wish me luck, okay?

Abby: Yes.

Billy: Bye.

Devon: Well, listen, I mean, I can clearly see how much this means to you. I think we’re on the same page.

Nate: I agree. How you deal with Daniel should be your decision.

Lily: Thank you.

Devon: I am surprised, though, that you’d wanna let those two off the hook like that.

Lily: No, this isn’t about Daniel and Heather. This is for the good of the company. It’s just time to move on.

Nate: Look, I don’t want to fight you on this, but I do wanna reiterate that OmegaSphere is strong. All of our games are performing well, especially Princess Louisa.

Lily: Yeah, which is why I think we can afford to do this. The developer we hired to replace Daniel has a ton of ideas for new games, so I don’t think that losing Princess Louisa˯ will be debilitating. And look, we already have enough conflict at Chancellor-Winters. We don’t need any more. I just wanna solve this battle once and for all so we can finally move on. ,li, stwe, llOk: ay I hear everything that you’re saying, but we just gotta make sure it’s what you really want. ‘Cause, you know, the second that we release the game to Daniel, we can’t get it back.

Lily: I know, and I’m sure.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: Look, I mean, Princess Louisa˯ brought Daniel back into my life, and he broke my heart, and this is a painful reminder of that.

Devon: Okay, then we let it go.

Lily: Thank you. And I do believe that the platform we built is stronger than one game.

Nate: That’s true, and it’s still in the early stages, in the scheme of things. Um, we can grow it even more.

Lily: Yeah, and that’s all that matters, is keeping our asset and our company strong. [ cell phone buzzes ] It’s Daniel. He wants to meet one-on-one, says it’s important.

Devon: There’s no reason to meet him now, right? Especially not in person.

Lily: Well, no, I mean, I want this done, so if I can solve this with him directly, then great.

Nate: Well, why not let one of us come with you?

Lily: Uh, thank you, but, um, I’ve got this. Bye. I’ll see you later.

Devon: See ya. [ Nate sighs ]

Devon: Well, uh, that is not how I thought today was gonna go at all.

Nate: You and me both, but, um, it’s what she wants.

Devon: Does she seem off to you at all?

Nate: I know she’s been keyed up about the arbitration.

Devon: No, I think that there’s more to it than that.

Nate: Like what?

Devon: I think it’s Billy.

Nate: Billy’s been pretty quiet lately, in spite of Jill handing him the reins.

Devon: Well, that’s another reason why I’m suspicious, but… Billy went to Lily and tried to convince her that they should join forces and team up together and basically push me into a secondary role.

Nate: What? Are you telling me we have to worry about Lily turning against her own family?

Daniel: You came. I wasn’t sure if you would.

Lily: Well, I hope it wasn’t a mistake and that you didn’t call me here to fight.

Devon: No, I don’t think Lily would betray us at all, but I do think that this Billy situation is weighing on her.

Nate: Okay, um, so when did this go down, and what exactly did he propose?

Devon: So, apparently, before Jill handed him all of her power, he went to Lily and tried to convince her that they’re the right team to run things.

Nate: And how did she react?

Devon: Well, she said no. But then when she finally told me, we realized that we could maybe use it to our advantage.

Nate: Okay, how so?

Devon: By convincing Billy that they are a team and then make him think that it’s a good idea to actually split the companies up, so that way he can go and run Chancellor the way he wants, and then eventually Lily would ditch him and come and join us at our family’s company.

Nate: Okay, so where do things stand?

Devon: Everything’s stalled. It’s clear that this Daniel situation has been weighing on Lily, so maybe she thinks that we need to settle it before we move forward with that.

Claire: Is there any word? I saw that their flight landed.

Victoria: Are you tracking their flight?

Claire: Maybe.

Victoria: Billy’s probably at the airport right now.

Claire: Did I hear Dad?

Victoria: Oh, yeah, yeah, he stopped by, but he didn’t wanna intrude on the reunion, so he said he’d hear about it later.

Claire: Maybe I shouldn’t give them these right now. Is it kind of weird? Like, “Hey, I’m the sister you didn’t know you had. Here’s a charm and some earbuds, so hey, we’re cool, right?”

Victoria: I think maybe you’re overthinking it a little, and I love you for it.

Claire: The wait is killing me.

Victoria: All right, well, let me check in with Billy and then maybe– [ knock on door ]

Billy: Knock, knock. Look who I found loitering around the baggage carousel.

Johnny: Because Katie packed like a million bags.

Katie: Oh, and you’re too cool to pack more than a backpack?

Victoria: Excuse me. Hugs, please. Come here. Hi. It’s so good to see you. Come here, you’re not too big for a hug, are you? Kids, um… I would like for you to meet your sister, Claire.

Claire: I’m really happy to meet you both.

Johnny: You’re tall. You look shorter on video.

Claire: Isn’t it funny how that happens? You’re taller than I thought you’d be, too. Or maybe you just grew a few inches since last time we spoke.

Billy: I’m pretty sure he grew an inch on the drive over here.

Johnny: So, what’s it like in a mental hospital, really?

Victoria: Johnny.

Billy: Johnny. Easy, you don’t have to break the ice that way.

Claire: It’s okay. I prepared for questions. You guys have a right to know. I really want us to get off on the right foot, and that means total honesty. So, what was it like in a mental hospital? Um… Well, the food stinks, and spending pretty much every hour of the day in one room, I– I don’t recommend it. But the doctors there were great, and they helped me deal with a lot of things that have happened in my life, including being taken from my parents as a baby.

Johnny: We know about that part. You were raised by your crazy aunt, so what was that like?

Victoria: Johnny, honestly…

Claire: You play video games.

Johnny: Yeah.

Claire: I guess you could say I was kind of like an agent of doom for her. Or that’s what she wanted me to be, like her accomplice. Helping her to seek vengeance for the wrongs that she thought had been done to her. Only I was just a kid, and I– I didn’t understand that. I thought plotting how to seek vengeance was a game that all kids played.

Johnny: It sounds fun.

Claire: And in the hospital, the doctors helped me understand my childhood wasn’t normal at all. And it’s not a kid’s job to figure that out.

Victoria: And that you were not responsible for your aunt’s actions.

Claire: Right. And I’m free of her now. And Mom has been great. And so have you two. I’m really looking forward to spending some time with normal people for once in my life.

Johnny: Well, I’m not sure we’re normal. Especially this one.

Claire: I don’t know. Two eyes, a nose, a mouth.

Victoria: Katie? Do you wanna say hello to Claire?

Katie: Can I go to my room and unpack?

Billy: Yeah, I can get your bags out of the car if you want.

Victoria: Go ahead. That’s fine. I think you’re really gonna love your room. Claire and I redecorated Aria’s nursery for you.

Katie: Great. A baby’s room. Still can’t believe we have to live here now. That our house burned to the ground with all our stuff. All because of Claire’s crazy aunt.

Daniel: Fighting is the last thing I wanna do. I swear.

Lily: Good. I was actually gonna call you when you texted me. There’s something important I wanted to discuss with you.

Daniel: Me first. Please.

Lily: Um, sure.

Daniel: I’m calling off the lawsuit. I don’t wanna take back Princess Louisa.

Lily: You what?

Daniel: There’s too many negative associations with it. Chancellor-Winters. You can keep it. You can have it free and clear.

Lily: Uh, um… I don’t know what to say.

Daniel: How about whatever you came here to tell me?

Lily: Well, I was gonna tell you the same thing. That I don’t wanna fight anymore and you can keep the game.

Daniel: I don’t understand.

Lily: Well, it’s the same reason for me. There’s just too many painful memories.

Daniel: Uh, well, I didn’t see this coming.

Lily: Yeah. Me either. Okay, um, I mean, where does this leave us? Because if you don’t want the game and I don’t want it, then what happens to Princess Louisa?

Abby: Hey. Do you have a minute?

Devon: Hey. I have all the minutes for you, pretty lady. How you doing? Heard anything from your mom?

Abby: No, no. Not since last night. I just– I can’t get over this.

Devon: I know, it’s a lot.

Abby: When I talked to her, she sounded like my mom. She was so calm and confident, assuring me that she was okay and not to worry.

Devon: Well, that’s a good thing, right?

Abby: Yeah, but what if it wasn’t her? What if I was talking to one of her alternate personalities? I went so long without seeing the signs. Maybe I don’t even know my mom anymore.

Devon: You can’t think like that, okay? You have to stay positive. You have to know that she’s getting the help that she needs and she’s being looked after.

Abby: Yeah. Well, my Uncle Jack and Aunt Traci are in Paris, and they told me not to come, that they have it covered, but I have to go. I have to be with her. I have to look her in the eye and see if she’s okay.

Devon: Okay. Well, then do it. Let’s go. Let’s go together.

Audra: Hey there.

Nate: Uh-huh. I should be mad at you for blowing off our dinner plans and disappearing to Paris.

Audra: Oh, don’t be. I can explain.

Nate: Mm-hmm. Well, you look awfully happy.

Audra: Ecstatic.

Nate: I gotta admit, I’m curious and a little scared to ask, do I wanna know what went down in the City of Lights? etty pleased with yourself.

Audra: That’s because I finally beat Tucker.

Nate: Really? So, the student has become the master.

Audra: Funny, that’s what he said. In his snide way. But I was never his inferior. I just let him think that until I was ready to make my move. Because the truth is, I am better than Tucker on his best day.

Nate: I never doubted it. So how did you triumph this time?

Audra: You’re looking at the new CEO of Glissade.

Nate: Wow. I– I knew you were up to something, but, um, that is quite the coup. How’d you pull it off?

Audra: Well, I convinced our board to vote to oust him, thanks to an anonymous investor who tripled their stake in the company.

Nate: That couldn’t have been cheap, Audra. So, who’s this, uh, who’s this investor with these deep pockets?

Audra: I am not at liberty to say. That’s what anonymous means. And it was a stipulation of the deal.

Nate: Sounds like trouble.

Audra: No, not at all. It was perfect. And I am ready to celebrate, if you care to join me.

Nate: Yes, I would love to.

Audra: There’s just one question.

Nate: What’s that?

Audra: Can you keep up?

Victoria: What happened to our house wasn’t Claire’s fault.

Claire: But it must feel that way. If it weren’t for my aunt, you’d be back in your old house right now, in your old room, with all your favorite things. I’m so sorry. You’ve lost so much. I understand how sad that must make you feel.

Katie: You don’t know me. How could you understand?

Billy: Honey, Katie, come here, please. Katie.

Claire: No. Let her go.

Victoria: I’m sorry. She shouldn’t have been so rude.

Johnny: If I’d done that, you’d ground me.

Victoria: Please, Johnny. You’re the older brother here.

Johnny: I thought she was the older sister.

Claire: Don’t push her. Just give her some time. I knew this wasn’t gonna be easy for any of us.

Lily: Okay, well, if neither of us wants the game, now what?

Daniel: It’s hard to imagine Princess Louisa ˯ being finished, taken off the platform.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, it’s been an anchor for OmegaSphere. And so much more. Maybe we keep the game? Leave it as is?

Daniel: You mean let it become a library game?

Lily: Yeah, an instant classic. And we market the nostalgia factor.

Daniel: So, no sequels?

Lily: No, and no changing the material.

Daniel: I like that idea.

Lily: And in exchange, Chancellor-Winters can open up a college tuition trust fund for Lucy.

Daniel: That is very generous.

Lily: Well, I mean, without her, there would be no Princess Louisa.

Daniel: Wouldn’t exist without you either.

Lily: Or you. So, do we have a deal?

Daniel: I think it sounds more than fair.

Lily: Look at that. A little communication, a little compromise. I’m really sorry. I know it’s my fault. I let my emotions get the best of me. I dug my heels in.

Daniel: I totally understand why. And I am so sorry for everything that happened.

Lily: Well, let’s end on a high note, okay? No more apologies. No more talking about it.

Daniel: Fair enough. I’ll let, um… I’ll let my lawyer know.

Lily: I will too.

Daniel: So, it’s done.

Lily: It’s done. Slightly happier ending than what we had before.

Daniel: You know, I wish you all the happiness and success in the world. You deserve it. And so much more.

Lily: Thank you. [ cell phone buzzes ]
