Young & The Restless Transcript
Transcript provided by Jim
Summer: Yeah, I’m just at the house to check on Harrison now, so could you push my four o’clock to five? You know what, actually? Could we just reschedule that for tomorrow morning? Yeah, I just want to spend some extra time with my little guy. Okay, thank you. Bye.
Traci: Abby, honey, I’m going to go make some tea. Would you like some?
Abby: No, thank you.
Traci: Something a little stronger, maybe? Abby, are you okay?
Abby: I guess so.
Traci: Ashley was so happy to see you. She just lit up when you walked into the room. It was the right thing for you to come.
Abby: It was so hard to see her that way. Locked away in an institution. So vulnerable and alone. I had no idea it had gotten this bad.
Traci: I know. We– we didn’t know that either until we came back to Paris the second time and your mom was able to sort of put together what happened to her.
Abby: It sounded so terrible.
Traci: It was. But Ashley is on her way back. She has made tremendous progress. Even since the last time I was there to visit. That’s what you have to hold on to. Focus on the hope that Ashley can put all of this behind her.
[ Abby sighing ]
Billy: Hey, just the two of us?
Lily: Uh, yeah. Devon’s on his way.
Billy: Okay, great. When he arrives, we will call Abby and Jill and we can get the show on the road. Abbott-Chancellor, here we come.
Lily: Well, I wouldn’t get ahead of yourself.
Billy: Why do you say that? Is there a problem?
Lily: Uh, have you spoken to Jill?
Billy: Yeah, I talked to her this morning. I made sure that she knows everything’s going to go according to plan.
Lily: Okay, well, that’s not the message that I got. She’s concerned that maybe I’m not completely on board with the move and that I might be having second thoughts.
Billy: Well, I hope you set her straight.
Lily: I mean, I tried to reassure her.
Billy: You’re not thinking about what Devon said yesterday, are you?
Lily: No.
Billy: Okay, because Lily, I swear on my life, I would never do that, okay? I would never use you to try and push this vote through. I would never betray you like that. And if I’m excited and jazzed up about running this company together with you, it’s because– because I am, and I think it’s going to be great, and I hope that you feel the same way.
Lily: Yeah, I mean, I’m going to follow through on what needs to be done and that I can promise.
Billy: Okay, good. That’s all I needed to hear.
Lily: I think the person that we have to worry about is your mother.
Summer: Hi.
Claire: Hello, Summer.
Summer: I was hoping to take Harrison out for some ice cream after his first day at camp.
Claire: Oh, no, I’m sorry.
Summer: Don’t tell me you beat me to it again.
Claire: It isn’t that. Um, Harrison’s just so worn out from playing with the other kids that he’s upstairs right now taking a nap. I think all that activity must have gotten to him.
Summer: Are you sure that’s all it is?
Claire: What do you mean?
Summer: Well, it’s just, it’s Harrison’s first day being away by himself since the kidnapping and I’m just– I’m worried that he might be having some issues with that.
Claire: He didn’t seem to be.
Summer: What about the other campers? I mean, were they giving him a hard time at all?
Claire: No. Summer, everyone got along great. Harrison had a really good day. And a lot of his friends go to this camp. They all know the story, or a version of it, and they think Harrison’s a hero.
Summer: And you see that as a positive thing?
Claire: I don’t see it as a problem. Do you?
Summer: Harrison might enjoy the attention right now, but it also could trigger traumatic memories for him when he was terrified. I just, I don’t want him to have any more nightmares.
Claire: I understand your concerns. I have the same ones. But I swear to you that if I thought those things were happening, I would tell you. I feel like camp is a great thing for him right now.
Summer: So, you’re an expert on summer camps, too.
Abby: You know, Aunt Traci, I’m trying to stay positive, but when I think about what my mom went through with Alan’s psychotic brother.
Traci: Yes, if it was a horror movie, nobody would believe it.
Abby: And I was in the dark the whole time. Even when I felt like my mom was off, I just went about my life thinking that my mom was having mood swings. But the truth was, she was being driven out of her mind.
Traci: I know and I’m so sorry.
Abby: How could you do this to me? You didn’t think I could handle it?
Traci: No, no, that’s not it at all.
Abby: Because I can, you know?
Traci: Of course you can, Abby. Of course, you can.
Abby: Then why did everyone shut me out? I wanted to be there for my mom, the way that she had been there for me all of these years, but my mom must have been thinking her– her only daughter was the only person in her family who didn’t care about what she was going through.
Traci: That’s not it at all. Ashley wanted to protect you.
Abby: You know, Billy said the same thing. But I don’t know because my mom is struggling. She was struggling and you want me to believe that she had the frame of mind to order you to keep me out of it?
Traci: Honey, it’s the truth. When Ashley was really herself, she didn’t want any of this to worry you.
Abby: You should have told me.
Traci: You know what? If we had it to do over again, we would. Your mother was in such a fragile state of mind, we didn’t want to do anything to upset her. You’re right. Abby, we had no business making that decision for you. I’m sorry. I, of all people, should know better.
Abby: Why? What do you mean?
Traci: Well, I– I’ve always been the youngest, until years later when Billy came along, Jack and Ashley’s first instinct was always to protect me from any crisis in the family. It got even worse when I moved to New York. Some harrowing thing would happen and I wouldn’t hear about it for weeks, sometimes months.
Abby: So, you get it.
Traci: I do get it and I should have got it sooner. And I promise, it will never happen again. Not with me.
[ knocking on door ]
Alan: Hello.
Traci: Alan, what are you doing here? Hi.
Alan: Special delivery.
Traci: What– what’s this?
Alan: Something I thought you might like. Open it. Go ahead.
Traci: Uh, okay.
[ Traci gasping ]
Traci: Oh, it’s– it’s gorgeous.
Alan: I saw you admiring it through the window of that boutique, so I thought I’d surprise you.
Traci: You did.
Alan: Good.
Traci: Thank you. Alan, I just– I love it. Oh, my gosh. Come in. Please come in. Sorry.
Alan: Abby.
Abby: Hi.
Alan: When– when did you get in?
Abby: Last night.
Alan: Abby, Ashley’s gonna be so happy that you’re here. She’s gonna be really thrilled to see you.
Traci: Actually, we just came from visiting her.
Alan: And how did she seem?
Traci: Um, Abby is a little shaken by seeing her mom in the hospital like that, but as I explained, it’s night and day from when she was admitted. I really feel like her treatment is going very well.
Alan: This is what my colleagues are saying as well. You know, they’re all very optimistic about a full recovery, really. But it’s just one small step at a time, you know?
Abby: Yeah, yeah, I’m– I’m trying to accept that, but it’s hard since this is all new information for me.
Alan: Yeah.
Abby: But, Alan, I’m actually glad that you’re here because I wanted to thank you in person for everything you did for my mom.
Alan: Oh, well, that’s, uh, that’s very kind of you, although I wouldn’t be surprised if you felt the opposite way.
Abby: You’re not responsible for what your brother did.
Traci: That’s what I keep reminding him.
Abby: You know, what happened to my mom was– was horrible, but you lost your brother and I can’t imagine how hard that is.
Alan: I lost Martin a long time ago, really, but, uh, thank you. Thank you very much. That was very kind of you to say.
[ phone pinging ]
Traci: Is everything all right, honey?
Abby: You know how I said I was strong enough to handle anything? This might put that to the test.
Billy: You don’t have to worry about Mom.
Lily: Well, you keep saying that, but she did not seem like she was on board with the dividing the companies. She had very strong concerns.
Billy: Okay, yeah, she voiced those concerns to me as well, but I think one thing we’re forgetting here is that I have her voting power, okay, so it’s gonna be fine.
Lily: Are you sure that’s still on?
Billy: Yes, of course it is.
Lily: Then why did she tell me that she might vote on her own today? Oh, my God. Billy, I thought you had this wrapped up.
Billy: I did. I do.
Lily: Okay, it doesn’t seem that way.
Billy: No, let’s not blow this out of proportion.
Lily: This plan is completely off the rails.
Billy: Lily, it’s fine.
Lily: I mean, you led me, you led all of us to believe that she was 100% on board with this. So were you lying or was that just false bravado?
Billy: No, of course not. I’ll call her right now to work it out.
Lily: It’s too late for that.
Billy: Lily, calm down. We’re fine.
Lily: Okay, don’t tell me to calm down because I might have just turned on my brother for nothing. I mean, what are we gonna do? We’re gonna work here miserably ever after?
Billy: Of course not.
Lily: How do you think that’s gonna turn out?
Billy: Listen, hold on. Just let me explain it, okay?
Lily: Yeah, sure, explain how we’re headed off a cliff.
Billy: Lily, we’re fine. I did not lie to you and I’m not trying to be big man here, okay? I am very confident that my mother is not gonna backstab me like that. She knows how important this is to me personally and professionally, and if she did something like that, that type of betrayal would cause a permanent rupture. She does not want that right now, especially not now, okay? This vote will go our way. I promise you that. This merger will end today as is planned.
Devon: Everybody ready for this meeting?
Lily: Uh, yeah. Jill and Abby are ready to go.
Devon: Let’s do it.
Billy: Um, can you give me a minute? Actually, there’s, uh… There’s something I would like to share with you.
Devon: Can we just get to the end of this meeting, Billy?
Billy: I think you’re gonna want to know this.
Devon: If this is, like, a last-minute trick you’re trying to pull, I’m gonna leave.
Billy: It’s not. In fact, I think it’ll help explain my reasoning and my urgency behind wanting to separate the companies.
Devon: Okay.
Billy: Uh… my mom… she’s sick.
Traci: Well, this board meeting sounds really big.
Abby: It is. I– I wish I could tell you about it, but, um–
Traci: Oh, honey, no. I’ve been around enough Jabot deals. I understand discretion. You tell me about it when it’s all over.
Abby: I will. I promise.
Traci: I have no doubt that whatever decision is required, you’ll make the right one.
Abby: Thank you. Um, I’m gonna go take it up in my bedroom. That way, it won’t bother you two.
Alan: Well, I was, uh, gonna ask Traci out for drinks anyway, if you’d like.
Traci: Oh, I would love to.
Alan: All right, great. And please, uh, join us after your call, if you’d like. We’ll have Traci text you where we are.
Traci: Is it the same place?
Alan: Yes. It’s beginning to feel like our place a little bit, huh? Shall we?
Traci: Yeah, let’s.
Abby: All right. And we’ll, uh, we’ll talk to you later.
Traci: Bye.
Alan: Bye-bye.
Devon: What do you mean that she’s sick? Like, what’s wrong with her?
Billy: Fancy medical words for her heart. It’s not working the way it’s supposed to.
Devon: And what did the doctors say?
Billy: Well, I mean, she’s getting treatment and they’re testing new medications, but, uh, she’s not out of the woods yet, and you know doctors, they’re not gonna guarantee anything.
Devon: All right. And it’s been going on for a while? Wow.
Billy: Look, I would have said something earlier, but she swore me to secrecy, but I– I hope this helps you understand why I wanted to add– want to add Abbott to the company letterhead because, you know, for her… For her legacy while she’s still here to see it.
Devon: Yeah. All right. And, hey, you knew about this?
Lily: I did.
Billy: Lily’s the only one that I confided in, and– and Chance knows because my mom told him personally, but she doesn’t want anyone to know about this, so out of respect for my mom, I hope we can not say anything during the call.
Devon: Oh, yeah, for sure.
Billy: Thank you.
Devon: I won’t say a word.
Billy: Appreciate it.
Devon: Yeah. I do find this very interesting, though.
Billy: What’s interesting?
Devon: The timing is interesting. It’s… You essentially decided to drop this bomb right before we’re about to decide on dividing the company.
Billy: Yeah, I– I understand that, but I– I thought it’d be a good thing to, uh, to let you know where I’m coming from.
Devon: Well, I think the– the jury is still out on that.
Billy: Why do you say that?
Devon: Well, because you could have shared this information with me back when Jill first gave you all of her power, or when you first came up with this idea to demerge the company. But you didn’t do that. You’ve waited ’til right now. And why at the last moment? Is it to try and get a sympathy vote out of me?
Billy: I see it as a courtesy.
Devon: Oh, okay. I mean, if you say so.
Billy: You can think whatever you want, okay? I really don’t care how you see me or my motives. At the end of the day, my mother gave me her voting power, so if you want to turn this into a conspiracy theory, you go right ahead, but you’re playing that game by yourself.
Jill: Hello?
Billy: Hi, Mom.
Devon: Hey.
Jill: Ah, I’ve been waiting. Surely everyone’s on by now.
Devon: Just have to get ahold of Abby. Lily You look good, Jill.
Jill: Oh, thanks.
Lily: Yeah, you seem rested.
Jill: Well, God knows I’ve been getting plenty of that.
Devon: How you feeling, Jill?
Jill: I’ve been feeling okay. Why do you ask?
Devon: I just haven’t talked to you in a while. Just curious.
Jill: Yeah, sure you were. You told them, didn’t you, Billy?
Traci: Are you sure you’re okay being here?
Alan: Yeah, I’m having a great time.
Traci: Good. I– I just was–
[ Traci sighing ]
Traci: Never mind.
Alan: What is it, Traci?
Traci: Well, I know that this is the place that Ashley met Martin and the whole thing started and I’m sure this is bringing a lot of things up for you.
Alan: Well, it does.
Traci: And it doesn’t bother you?
Alan: It’s kind of a closure in a way, you know? I mean, I have to live with Martin’s crimes, his illness, the fact that he was sad and lonely, but also, you know, I’m mourning someone I love very much. It’s– it’s…
Traci: Complicated emotions.
Alan: Yeah, very complicated. But, you know, being here with you, it feels like you, uh… you cleanse the place, you know?
[ Traci laughing ]
Alan: I feel like I’m replacing the bad memories I had here with good memories of you.
Traci: Oh, well, good. I’m so glad that you think these are gonna be good memories.
Alan: No, they already are. They already are. No, I feel like you, uh, I feel like you sage the place, you know?
Traci: Sage?
Alan: Yeah, you know, when they burn sage to drive away negative energy? I– I… I feel like you, uh, you do that.
Traci: Well, I don’t know about that.
Alan: Well, it’s true. Being with you is… It’s just very reassuring. You know, your kindness, compassion… It’s just very rare.
Traci: Oh, well, thank you.
Alan: Well, that’s why I like talking to you so much. You mean that. I know all that’s real.
Traci: Alan, I– I think that when you have been through some of the experiences that I’ve been through, well, I have started to look at life as a continuum, from the very great joy to bone-cracking sorrow, you know? Um, from happiness to heartbreak, love, sadness. The whole messy package. Y– you just have to find a way to accept it. All of it. And you have to find a way to move forward. At least that’s what I’ve tried to do.
Alan: That is a lesson we can all learn from you.
Traci: Oh, no, no, no. You flatter me again and I think that we’ve had quite enough of talking about me.
Alan: Oh, I don’t think so. I could talk about you all night long.
Traci: Oh, well, but I know so little about you.
Alan: Oh, well, there’s not really much to tell.
Traci: I think I should be the judge of that.
Alan: Oh, okay. So, uh, what do you want to know?
Traci: Uh… everything.
Claire: Summer, you’re clearly upset. Let’s talk about it.
Summer: Look, I– I already told you, I’m just concerned about my son.
Claire: I understand that.
Summer: I– I don’t know how you could, considering you’ve never had a child, especially one who just went through a horrific event like Harrison just did.
Claire: Caused by my Aunt Jordan, yes, I know.
Summer: I wasn’t bringing up that part.
Claire: You don’t have to. It’s true. I’ve never had kids. And up until recently, I never had parents or their love or desire to do what’s best for me, but I do have that now and I can see how much they worry about me. I can feel it. So, I must know a little bit what it must be like for you. And I can only tell you what I’ve already said. Harrison is a really strong and resilient little boy and a big part of that is because he’s so completely confident in his parents’ love for him. And Harrison’s love for you, it’s as natural to him as breathing. And I would just, I would hate if you felt that… That I was in some way hurting that.
Kyle: Hey. I got your message. Is everything all right?
Claire: I’ll go check on Harrison and see if he’s gotten a second wind.
Summer: No, I can do it. We’ll talk after.
Kyle: What did I just walk in on?
Claire: Nothing you haven’t seen before. I don’t think Summer’s ever going to be comfortable with me being in Harrison’s life.
Jill: Damn it, Billy!
Billy: Uh, let me explain, okay?
Jill: I specifically told you not to tell anyone about my condition, if that’s what you want to call it.
Billy: Okay, I understand that, but given the circumstances, I thought it was fair that they know.
Jill: What about my right to privacy?
Billy: Again, Mom, I’m sorry, but I made the call.
Jill: Why did you make the call? Was it to get Devon and Lily to feel sorry for me so they would give you what you want?
Billy: Yeah, you and Devon share that opinion. It’s not true, by the way.
Lily: How are you feeling, Jill?
Devon: Is there anything that you need or that we can do for you?
Jill: No, but thank you, thank you. I’ve got a lot of good doctors, so many that I can’t even remember their names. In fact, there’s even a rumor I might live.
Lily: Well, Abby will have to know about this, but besides her, we will not tell another soul.
Jill: Speaking of Abby, where is she?
Devon: I’ll let her know we’re ready.
Jill: Good. It’s time to get this over with.
Devon: Yeah, we’re all here. How you doing?
Abby: It’s been a long day, but we can talk about it later.
Devon: All right, for sure. I’ll call you afterwards.
Jill: Let’s get started.
Lily: I’m calling this meeting of the Chancellor Winters Board of Directors to discuss the proposed separation of the two companies.
Jill: Since this involves the future of the company that I built, I’m going to be exercising my own vote.
Billy: Understood. You know where I stand. And I’m hoping now that everyone had a little bit of time with the proposal, this vote will be a formality.
Devon: It might be to you. It’s not to me, though.
Billy: Okay, Devon, why don’t you go ahead and voice your concerns?
Devon: Just a little curious about how we’re actually going to divide things up. Who’s going to get what?
Billy: Well, we’ve already talked about this, Chancellor. We’ll take all the assets that they came in with, and the same thing will happen with Winters.
Devon: Right, I understand that part. But what about the new divisions that were created after the merger took place, like the video games and Omega Sphere? Who gets that?
Billy: We can figure that out later. Right now, this is an overall concept on whether we want to divide the companies.
Devon: Right, but how the assets are divided is part of the overall concept. And I’d like to not just kick that down the road and wait.
Billy: Okay. Um… Because gaming falls more easily under the Winters umbrella, you can have Omega Sphere. Every other company that was created after and under this merger, Abbott-Chancellor, we’ll take those companies. Does that make sense, everyone?
Devon: Yeah, sounds good to me.
Billy: Great. Any other concerns?
Abby: Should we have a vote whether to discuss the details now, or wait?
Billy: I vote waiting.
Lily: I agree.
Jill: I’ll make that a majority. Let’s vote.
[ Traci laughing ]
Traci: I can see that I’ve terrified you. Oh, Alan. When I meant that I wanted to know everything about you, about you, Martin doesn’t have to be a part of this.
Alan: Well, it’s kind of hard to do that without including Martin.
Traci: Ah, twins, of course.
Alan: Mm. We were inseparable, you know? All the cliches abound. Two halves of the same whole. But I’ll say this, it’s impossible to be lonely when you grow up a twin.
Traci: Oh. And I’m very close to my brother and sister, but I’m sure it’s nothing like that. Yeah– to grow up with such companionship, to have that sense of security that there’s someone on Earth who knows you better than anyone else, must be a really intense bond.
Alan: It is, exactly. Ah, the things we used to do when we were kids.
Traci: Like what?
Alan: Mmm. We used to pretend to be each other, and see if people could tell.
Traci: Oh, you know what? I’ve heard that twins try to do that.
Alan: As I said, all the cliches abound.
Traci: Did you get away with it?
Alan: Uh, yeah, for the most part we did, but my mother could always tell. You know, I was always the serious one, always reading and thinking great thoughts at ten.
[ Traci chuckling ]
Alan: But Martin was the more personable one. You know, he’d get along with anyone at any age. He was… such a dreamer. So sweet when he was young. Wanted to conquer the world. Sad, such a loss, huh?
Traci: Especially for you. Someone so close to you. So much a part of you, suddenly gone. Alan, I’m so sorry.
Alan: Sorry? For what?
Traci: I– I’m sorry that I made you go there. We can talk about anything else you want to.
Alan: No, no, no, really. You know, I– I think it’s good, because I’ve needed to process this, and, you know, get it all out, and… Truth is, I don’t usually open up. I don’t usually talk to people.
Traci: Really? Well, then I am very glad that I could be that person for you. >
Traci: If you weren’t such an amazing writer, you’d be a fantastic therapist. You really can read people’s hearts.
Kyle: So Summer’s still giving you a hard time.
Claire: That isn’t why I brought up her not being thrilled with me.
Kyle: Mmm.
Claire: I need to coordinate more with her, make sure Summer gets to spend more time with Harrison.
Kyle: That’s very thoughtful, of you, Claire, but this isn’t your problem to solve. No one is standing in the way of Summer seeing her son.
Claire: But there have been some occasions where she’s felt left out. I get it. She has a job. She can’t be in two places at once. So it’s part of my job to make it easier for her.
[ Kyle sighing ]
Kyle: How is he?
Summer: He was still sleeping. I didn’t want to disturb him. Uh, he looked a little sunburned, actually. Maybe that’s why he’s so tired. Did– did you put sunscreen on him earlier?
Claire: I did. But I probably could have used more. Be more on top of it from now on.
Summer: Thank you.
Claire: I’ll go make Harrison a snack for when he wakes up. He’s bound to be hungry.
Kyle: Really, Summer?
Summer: What?
Kyle: You’re busting her on sunscreen?
Summer: I’m not busting anybody. And Claire seemed to take the suggestion just fine. So what’s your problem, Kyle?
Kyle: I don’t have one.
Summer: I do. What’s going on between you and Audra?
Kyle: I don’t owe you any explanations about who I spend my time with.
Summer: Well, I think you do, when it comes to her.
Kyle: Okay, fir–
Summer: What’s wrong with you, Kyle?
Kyle: First of all, it’s not anything like you think it is.
Summer: You have no idea what I think.
Kyle: There is nothing personal going on between me and Audra. Truth is, I left Jabot.
Summer: You quit?
Kyle: I was fired, actually, by my mom.
Summer: Diane fired you?
Kyle: She was threatened by me constantly proving her incompetence right and left, so she had me removed.
Summer: What did Jack have to say about that?
Kyle: Not so much, as it turns out. Mmm. Too bad, kid. It’s her call, so you’re out.
Summer: Kyle, I… Kyle, I don’t even know what to say. I– I– I’m sorry. I– I– I know that must have hurt you.
Kyle: Yeah, well, it opened my eyes, I can tell you that much.
Summer: What does any of this have to do with Audra?
Kyle: Audra now runs Glissade. Tucker McCall’s old company, and Tucker is out of the picture completely.
Summer: Hmm, we’ve heard that before.
Kyle: No, it’s true. Uh… She turned the board against them, and they voted them out.
Summer: Audra did that alone?
Kyle: Not entirely alone. She brought on a new investor that now owns the company.
Summer: Who?
Kyle: They want to keep their identity under wraps for now.
Summer: Let me guess the rest of the story. Audra wants you to come work for her.
Kyle: Mmm. Not for her. With her, we’d both be co-CEOs. Clean slate and all that.
Summer: Are you out of your mind?
Alan: You know, last night, I downloaded one of your novels.
Traci: You’re kidding!
Alan: Mm-hmm.
Traci: Really, which one?
Alan: It was “Echoes of the Past.” I mean, incredible. It was really fant– I could not put it down. I was up all night long.
Traci: Oh, that was a really good one. It’s about Ashley, and me. Very personal.
Alan: Yes. And very much like you. Kind and loving and beautiful. Inside and out.
Jill: You don’t look happy, Devon.
Devon: I’ll– I mean, that’s not really the point of today, right, Jill?
Abby: Devon, if you’re having issues with us…
Devon: No! I’m not having any issues at all. Let’s get to the voting.
Lily: Okay. The topic on the table is to separate Chancellor-Winters into two companies.
Billy: I vote separate.
Lily: I agree.
Devon: It’s really what you want?
Lily: Yes, it is.
Devon: Okay. Then I vote the same. Yes.
Abby: Well, it seems like a fair solution, and what everybody wants, so I vote yes.
Billy: Does everyone want this? Mom?
Jill: Mmm. I find myself in the unfortunate position of casting a vote that really won’t mean anything. You already have the majority.
Lily: Well, it means something to me, Jill.
Billy: It means something to me, too. I think it means something to all of us.
Lily: So, Jill, what do you think?
[ Jill chuckling ]
Jill: I guess I should’ve prepared a concession speech for this moment.
Billy: Mom, this is not a loss, okay? Your vote means so much more, even if these companies separate.
Jill: Oh, good try, son, but I am not convinced. All right, I’m gonna speak from my heart. I think what you’re about to do is a huge, horrible mistake.
Lily: Why?
Jill: Because, Lily, despite all the problems and the infighting, this company has prospered during the merger. I hate that Billy and Devon couldn’t make it work. And what I hate most of all is that the only option we have is to tear it all apart.
Devon: So– okay, so what are you saying?
Jill: I’m saying that I am voting no. I realize it’s only a symbolic gesture, but it is the only way I can truly express how I feel. And, Billy, you got what you want. I only hope it’s worth it to you in the end.
Devon: I’ll call you in a little bit.
Abby: Okay.
[ Devon sighing ]
Lily: Well, it’s done.
Billy: You don’t seem excited.
Lily: I’m not. I feel like we let Jill down.
[ Alan chuckling ]
Traci: Oh, my goodness. That was the best evening. I had the most wonderful time.
Alan: So did I. Thank you for your patience and kindness, Lily. Lily Oh! Thank you for sharing some of your story with me.
Alan: Well, I think I could trust you with just about anything. So, anyway, good night.
Alan: Yes.
[ Traci gasping ]
Summer: Do I really need to list all the reasons why this is a terrible idea?
Kyle: Do I have a choice?
Summer: First of all, this whole secret owner thing, it’s sketchy, all by itself.
Kyle: That’s your opinion. And what we just talked about, it stays between us, okay?
Summer: No, I’m not gonna tell a soul. I mean, it’s too embarrassing. Kyle, you would be going into competition with your own family’s company, the company I still work for, by the way.
Kyle: Summer, Glissade won’t go after Marchetti. Our target is Jabot, because we are a cosmetics company. And if you think I’m going to feel bad about going after them after what they did to me, you’re dead wrong.
Summer: I admit, what happened to you seems unfair.
Kyle: Unfair? It was an out-and-out betrayal. It was treacherous.
Summer: Kyle, look… I understand that you’re angry, okay? I’m just asking you to think about it for a second. Doing this is a declaration of war against your own family. And Diane might deserve that. But does Jack? And talk about treacherous? I mean, are you forgetting what Audra did to you last time?
Kyle: Oh, now hold on, it was a deception on both sides. It’s a different dynamic this time.
Summer: I think it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Kyle: Well, that’s your opinion. But I– it was my decision, so if it goes wrong, I’ll try something else.
Summer: I think you’re a fool, Kyle. And I’m warning you, I do not want Audra anywhere near Harrison.
Kyle: What? Summer, why do you keep trying to dictate who I spend time with?
Summer: Honestly, I don’t care who you spend time with, or what you spend your time doing. I just care about Harrison, okay? Maybe it’s time we revisit our custody agreement.
Kyle: I’m sorry, is that a threat?
Summer: Call it what you want.
Kyle: Summer, do you really want to go there? Do you really think that would be good for our son?
Summer: Uh, look, I, um… I’m going to have my attorney call yours.
[ Kyle sighing ]
Claire: Everything all right?
Kyle: Um, no, no, it’s not all right, but I don– I don’t want to get into it with Harrison here. So, you know what? Have dinner with me tonight.
