Sally: Hi. Coffee, no creamer, please. Thank you.
Billy: And I’ll get a refill. Please. Hi. Fancy meeting you here.
Sally: Likewise.
Billy: Can’t get enough of the coffee?
Sally: A long night of work ahead and hopefully, this will do the trick.
Billy: Mm-hmm.
[ Sally sighing ]
Sally: But the truth is I– I can’t stop thinking about Adam and worrying about him. What’s your excuse?
Billy: Ha. Yeah, a long night of work ahead. And I can’t stop thinking about Chelsea.
Sally: Great. Thank you.
Billy: Any news from Baltimore?
Sally: All quiet. You?
Billy: Same.
Sally: Well, maybe that’s a good thing.
Billy: Or not.
[ Chelsea sighing ]
[ knocking on door ]
Adam: Need some company?
Chelsea: You got my text?
Adam: I couldn’t sleep either. Oh, and I am not alone. I was hoping that maybe a nightcap could calm my nerves.
Jack: We need to talk.
Victor: What prompts you to barge into my office uninvited?
Jack: My son. You stay away from him!
Diane: Kyle, wait.
Kyle: All talked out.
Diane: Please.
Kyle: I don’t have anything left to say.
Diane: I understand how angry you are.
Kyle: I’m not sure you do.
Diane: But we have to put Harrison first and find a way through this anger for him.
Kyle: Harrison will be just fine.
Diane: After everything he’s been through, do you really want to put that sweet little boy through another change? This is his home. He loves it here. Please, Kyle, please don’t take him away from the family he loves here.
Kyle: How dare you use Harrison as ammunition against me? Not one call all day from Connor’s facility. What is he doing? Is he okay? Is he not okay? When are we going to be able to see him again? Tomorrow? In a week?
Adam: That’s pretty much what kept me awake too.
[ Chelsea sighing ]
Chelsea: I’ve been trying to do all of my calming techniques. You know, I went for a walk around the harbor and doing deep breathing. Telling myself everything’s going to be okay, but… I just keep coming back to… how is this happening?
Adam: I don’t know. But what I do know is we’re here. And we’re not going anywhere. It’s got to mean something. As long as it takes, whatever it takes, we’re going to get Connor to the other side.
[ Adam sighing ]
Chelsea: Thanks for this.
Adam: What? The bourbon?
[ Chelsea chuckling ]
Chelsea: No, not the bourbon. The reassurances. It helps to hear you say it so confidently. Makes me feel like…
[ Chelsea sighing ] Makes me feel like who knows, maybe things will get better, even though that’s very hard to believe after today.
Adam: Are you going to make me play the optimist again?
Chelsea: Well, you are getting pretty good at it.
Adam: Well, how about this? We have both screwed up plenty in our lives, but somehow we… managed to create a miracle of a kid.
Chelsea: Yeah, he really is the best of both of us, isn’t he?
Adam: And who would have thought the best of us would be such a great human being?
Chelsea: Right? And he’s just so… He’s so kind.
Adam: I know. He gets that from you.
Chelsea: I don’t know. You’re the one who showed up at my door in the middle of the night with an excellent bottle of bourbon so I wouldn’t have to be alone. You didn’t have to do that.
Adam: Well, if I can’t help our son tonight, maybe I can at least try to help his mom. Even if that does mean I have to share my bourbon.
[ Chelsea chuckling ]
Chelsea: Was that supposed to be funny? Because if it was, Connor definitely gets his excellent sense of humor from me.
Adam: Look, this– this setback has been hard and it’s taken the wind out of us, but don’t for a second try to find a reason to blame yourself.
Chelsea: But that’s my superpower.
Adam: Chelsea, you’re an amazing mom. You don’t give yourself enough credit. Connor is a strong, loving, resilient boy. You did that.
Chelsea: We both did that.
[ Adam exhaling ]
Adam: To loving the hell out of our kid.
Diane: I’m not trying to use Harrison as ammunition. I’m trying to think what’s best for my grandson.
Kyle: What, and I’m not? My decision is very much about Harrison and what’s best for my son is to live in a house full of love. Not one where family turns on its own, where there is no trust.
Diane: Oh, that’s not fair. You’re the one who turned on me at Jabot.
Kyle: You know what? I’m done defending my efforts to help you to cover for your inexperience. Now, if you’ll excuse me…
Diane: Just wait. Don’t you see what you’re doing? All this secrecy about your new job, taking Harrison away from us? You are just trying to punish me and your father.
Kyle: Oh, are you really playing the victim right now? Because last time I checked, I was the one who was fired. I was the one who was pink slipped out of my family legacy. No, Mom, you did this. You brought this down on all of us. Now, you have to live with the consequences.
Victor: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Jack: Oh, this is how we’re going to play it after all these years? Really?
Victor: Make your point and get out.
Jack: You think I don’t know when you’re bluffing?
Victor: Paranoia does not suit you, Jack.
Jack: This isn’t paranoia. This is history. This is right out of the Victor Newman playbook. You hire my son to use against me. It didn’t work before. It won’t work this time.
Victor: And yet you’re here, aren’t you? Did you and Kyle have a rift?
Jack: You know we did. And there you are to weaponize the fallout.
Kyle: Your son hates you. You blame me? Get out.
Jack: Or what? You’ll have your security staff throw me out?
Victor: I don’t need my security staff to throw you out. I’ll throw you out on the street myself.
Jack: This I like. This is why I’m here. For one-on-one confrontation.
Victor: Oh, really?
Jack: Yeah. You feel the need to pursue a vendetta against me? You come at me! Only me! You stay away from my wife and son!
Victor: How dare you come at me after what you have done?
Jack: Oh, enough with this misguided anger over what happened to Nikki in that hotel room.
Victor: You mean after Nikki almost drank herself to death and you almost died?
Jack: Nikki was at her lowest point.
Victor: And you decided to overdose! That your way of helping her?
Jack: You weren’t there.
Victor: If I had been there, I promise you, I would have let you foam at your mouth and let you rot!
Jack: Is it really so difficult for you to admit that the great and powerful Victor Newman couldn’t be the one to save his wife? That Nikki would have drunk herself to death while you were convincing everyone else and yourself that only you could save her? I’m the one who brought her there and you can’t forgive me for it.
Victor: Are you on pills right now?
Jack: No, I am deadly sober. And I’m giving you a warning. You want to come after me, you come after me and me alone. Or there will be hell to pay.
Victor: I will give you a warning. When I decide to retaliate, you will not see it coming.
Jack: Last time. You stay away from Kyle.
[ door slamming ]
Nick: You okay?
Jack: Your father’s playing games with Kyle. I came here to set him straight. Let’s hope for all our sakes he listened.
Chelsea: Mm, can you remember that photo album we looked through? Connor’s first Thanksgiving. That silly family selfie.
Adam: He– he was so happy.
Chelsea: We all were. We all were.
Adam: Oh, he–
[ Adam laughing ]
Chelsea: What? What?
Adam: The turkey painting?
[ both laughing ]
Adam: You tried to convince me that Connor somehow managed to finger and foot paint?
Chelsea: Yeah. Remember, we made such a mess? Oh, it was so much fun. Oh, it was– it was just the best day.
Adam: It was. Although, I was going to say, that, uh, that masterpiece looked more like a turtle than a turkey.
Chelsea: Mm. What do you have against turtles?
Adam: Nothing. You– you went all out that day. You were bound and determined to just make it beyond special.
Chelsea: Mm.
Adam: Whether Connor would remember it or not.
Chelsea: You know, I know where that painting is. So, I am going to dig it out and I am going to hang it up. This year. For Connor, for Thanksgiving. He’s going to love it.
Adam: What is it?
[ Chelsea sniffling ]
Chelsea: What if Connor’s not home for Thanksgiving?
Diane: Okay, fine. You want to move out? You think that’s the best choice? The– the wisest choice for Harrison? Just go ahead and do it.
Kyle: I don’t need your permission.
Diane: I know you don’t. But can’t we at least try and heal this rift between us?
Kyle: I’m not in the mood for warm and fuzzies right now, Mom, but, uh, I’ll share this with you. Um, I will thank you very soon for ripping my birthright out from under me. When one door closes, you know–
Diane: All right, what is this game you’re playing? Why won’t you tell us where you’re working? What’s the big secret?
Kyle: Now, that’s on a need-to-know situation and you and Dad just didn’t make the cut. No offense.
Diane: Well, it would stop us from assuming the worst.
Kyle: Oh, because that’s where you go with me, huh?
Diane: Oh, that’s not what I mean.
Kyle: Assuming the worst?
Diane: And you know that.
Kyle: Are you searching for some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy here? Do you want me to turn on you the way you turned on me? Go dark, is that it? Because I would give you an excuse to justify what you did to your own son.
Diane: Kyle, of course that’s not what I want.
Kyle: Well, I don’t know. Going dark, it poses some interesting possibilities and it could definitely be arranged.
Diane: Why are you acting like this? Why are you being so hateful? Do you enjoy stringing us along? I mean, has your ego really been that wounded?
Kyle: No, this has nothing to do with my ego.
Diane: This has everything to do with your ego. And you are no more a victim than I am. You undermined me every chance you could. You provoked me. You didn’t even try to make things work. And no CEO would ever put up with that kind of insubordination.
Kyle: Oh. Did you learn that in the CEO handbook, huh? Because last time I checked, you didn’t have any idea. Zero experience on how to truly lead a company.
Diane: And you have so, so much experience that I’m sure your new position is on a level commensurate with your considerable skills.
Kyle: Hold on. Is that your tricky way to figure out where I’m going?
Diane: No, but I am worried about you.
Kyle: No, you’re worried that the lesson you wanted to teach me, to punish me with, backfired and now I’m free to do what I want, where I want. And you will know where that is when I want you to. But I’ll share this one thing with you. There is nothing that’s going to change my mind about moving out of this house and getting away from you.
Jack: What’s going on here?
Kyle: How was Victor? Did you set him straight?
Nick: Hey.
Victor: Hey, son.
Nick: Came by to see if you wanted to grab a drink, but why don’t you tell me what’s going on with Jack? I ran into him outside your office. He seems pretty ticked off.
Victor: Oh, yeah? You know, he’s an idiot.
Nick: Something to do with Kyle? What’s going on?
Victor: Jack Abbott always gets riled up about something.
Nick: I haven’t seen him that riled up in a long time, Dad.
Victor: Yeah, he’ll get over it.
Nick: Jack is as fiercely protective of his family as you are of yours. If Kyle’s involved in whatever this is, I don’t think you should dismiss him so easily.
Victor: You know, that guy’s delusional. He thinks he can pick a fight with me and win. End of story.
Jack: What makes you think I went to see Victor?
Kyle: Tell me you didn’t.
Jack: Victor is still furious at me for trying to shock Nikki sober. A furious Victor is not a good thing.
Kyle: So, you did pay him a visit.
Jack: He’s also not the kind of person you want to turn to for help in mapping out your future.
Kyle: Well, I don’t know about that. I mean, Victor seems like a good option. Given my own parents just torched my future, why not give him a shot?
Diane: So, you admit it. You are involved with Victor.
Kyle: Well, I’m not admitting to anything. I’m merely making a point. Victor has always appreciated my business acumen. It’s nice to be valued and not seen as a threat, which is more than I can say for my own flesh and blood.
Jack: That is simply not true. You are my son. I love you. I only want what is best for you.
Kyle: If that’s the case, prove it. Fire Mom. Or at least give her a demotion. Give me the job I deserve. Right now.
Sally: I mean, that Adam and Chelsea could have such a great day with Connor and see him so happy and getting better and that there was real hope for the first time in a long time and then to have him relapse?
[ Sally sighing ] It’s just heartbreaking.
Billy: Yeah, Chelsea said to me that it’s as if the OCD is– is punishing him. Like it’s reminding him that he doesn’t deserve to be happy, which is, you know, heartbreaking, of course. I mean, how could happiness be a trigger in that way?
Sally: I mean, Adam has tried so hard to be optimistic about this treatment and it does not come easy for him. And now for this to happen, for Connor to be getting worse and trying to harm himself, I just really, really wish there was something I could do to get Adam through this.
Billy: Yeah. I feel the same way with Chelsea. You know, I try to be there for her. I try to support her. Of course, I would drop anything and everything to physically be there for her, but it doesn’t seem to help. It definitely doesn’t fix anything and it just ends up leaving me feeling…
Sally: Helpless?
Billy: Exactly.
[ Sally sighing ]
[ both chuckling ]
Sally: You know, maybe we should talk about something else.
Billy: I think that’s a good idea.
Sally: Yeah.
Billy: How about, uh, how about the weather?
Sally: Oh, jeez. That’s boring.
Billy: Are you into sports?
Sally: Um, only if you’re a Cubs fan.
Billy: Oh, God, no. You know this is Brewers territory, right?
Sally: Uh, jeez. Um, Politics?
Billy: And we’re back to the weather.
Sally: Work. Work. Let’s talk about work. What is happening at Chancellor-Winters?
Billy: Ha. Yeah, what is happening there? Um, a lot. A lot. Ultimately, uh, I really– I’m excited about where we’re headed.
Sally: That’s great. Where is that?
Billy: We’re headed for some pretty big changes.
Sally: That’s it? That’s all you’re going to give me?
Billy: That’s all I can share. I am sworn to secrecy, but, uh… Look, um, we’re working out the details, but we’ll be making some pretty big announcements very soon.
Sally: Well, I look forward to it.
Billy: How about you? How are you fitting in at Marchetti?
Sally: Oh, my God. It has been the best experience. I’m back doing what I love. There’s a flow. There’s a joy in the work. And I am reminded that fashion is definitely a way better fit for me than interior design ever was.
Billy: Well, that’s good. It’s, you know, it’s good to love what you do.
Sally: I’m so excited. There’s all these ideas and this energy, and– and now that Summer has agreed to hire Chloe, I– I– I– I just feel like anything’s possible.
Billy: Well, you’re clearly jazzed about it. Congratulations to that.
Sally: Thank you. Am I… Am I being a jerk?
Billy: What do you mean?
Sally: I mean, I’m subbing for Chelsea, who’s going through hell, you know? And it just feels weird to be excited about a job that Chelsea can’t do because her son is in pain and she has to be there for him. I just feel like I’m taking advantage somehow.
Billy: You’re not being a jerk, Sally. In fact, I think you’re actually helping Chelsea. You know you’re there, you’re focused on the business and you’re keeping the wheels on, so that’s– that’s a good thing. She can focus on being there for her son.
[ Sally sighing ]
Sally: Well, thank you for saying that.
Billy: Plus, you’re so talented that maybe she’ll keep you on in some capacity.
Sally: Yeah, that would be amazing. But right now, all I care about is that Adam and Chelsea get home with Connor happy and healthy.
Billy: That’s what we all want.
Adam: Hey, it’s all right.
Chelsea: It’s not all right, Adam. It’s not all right.
[ Chelsea sniffling ]
Chelsea: I was so determined to give our son everything I didn’t have. The– the childhood I never had. Every– every– The holiday and– and birthday and tradition was going to be special. And I really thought if I could just do that, if I could just give Connor days of joy, everything would be okay. And he’d be happy, and he’d have a great life. And now… I mean, how many holidays is our son going to have to miss because he’s in this clinic? How many days and– and weeks and months is he going to spend there hating himself or wanting to hurt himself?
[ Chelsea crying ]
Adam: Come here. Come here, come here, come here. Okay.
Chelsea: Thank you, Adam.
Adam: Go ahead. Just let it out.
Chelsea: We can’t have failed him, Adam. We can’t.
Adam: Listen, you have never in your life failed Connor. You were the most remarkable parent that any kid could have hoped for. I’m in awe of you, Chelsea, and I always have been.
Chelsea: I don’t feel very remarkable right now.
Adam: That doesn’t make it any less true, okay? Forcing your father to choose between the two of us. How selfish can you be?
Kyle: No, this isn’t about me. It’s what’s best for the family and Jabot. The corporate world will finally respect Jabot again. And Harrison could grow up right here with his two loving grandparents. Isn’t that what you want?
Diane: Jack, are you considering his request?
Jack: I am considering what might bring some peace back to this family.
Kyle: Looks like things may be going my way. Don’t worry, Mom. I– I’ll let you keep your parking spot.
Jack: Okay, that’s enough, Kyle.
Kyle: Hm.
Jack: As much as I love you, as much as I am grateful for everything you have brought to Jabot in the past, I will not let you manipulate me into another corporate reshuffle. As some kind of reward for your disrespect and your total lack of professionalism.
Kyle: Mm. Hm. I was hoping for a minute there you’d make the right choice.
Jack: Kyle, there are other options.
Kyle: No, there was only one option and it’s… It’s good to know where you stand, Dad. Goodbye.
[ Diane sighing ]
[ door slamming ]
Diane: I cannot believe how horribly this is spinning out of control.
Jack: And it only manages to get worse. Did you tell him that I was on my way to see Victor?
Diane: No, no. But I guess after the argument we had and how you left so abruptly, I guess Kyle just assumed that’s where you went.
Jack: Which only gives us credence to the fear that he has already joined forces with Victor.
Diane: Did you talk to Victor?
Jack: Yeah, I did.
Diane: Well, I want to hear all about it, but, um… first, I need to ask you a question.
Jack: Yeah, what is it?
Diane: Well, I’m– I’m very grateful that you stood up for me and didn’t give in to Kyle’s childish demands, but were you actually considering his request? Is that why you hesitated?
Nick: So, you’re really not worried at all about how angry Jack is?
Victor: Why would I worry about how Jack Abbott feels? Cheers, old boy.
[ Nick sighing ]
Nick: Cheers. Mm. Mmm.
Victor: Is that good?
Nick: Boy, that is good.
Victor: Yeah. Got a bottle of it stashed behind the bar.
Nick: Oh, really?
Victor: That does not give you permission to take a drink every time you want to, all right?
Nick: I wouldn’t dream of it, but it is behind the bar, right?
Victor: Yeah. It’s behind the bar, yes. Now, I understand that Sally Spectra gave up her interior design business. You never told me about that.
Nick: I mean, there’s not much to say. It just, uh, didn’t work out.
Victor: You took a hit on the investment, right?
Nick: Look, you know how business is. There can be any number of reasons why something doesn’t succeed, but I believe her talent speaks for itself.
Victor: Well, I’m still sorry that she failed, really.
Nick: Yeah. Well, I ran into Vic. It sounds like you’re making some progress in convincing her to come back to Newman Enterprises.
Victor: I have prevailed upon her to think about it long and hard. I hope she makes up her mind.
Nick: Still planning on installing Adam at Newman Media?
Victor: Yeah.
Nick: Replacing Mom with Adam. I don’t like it.
Victor: It’s only temporary.
Nick: Oh, we both know we’re gonna have to drag Adam out of there, kicking and screaming out of this temporary position.
Victor: Let me worry about Adam, okay? Have you seen him lately or talked to him lately?
Nick: No, not since he took off for Baltimore. Have you?
Victor: Yeah, I just got a text. Apparently, Connor has taken a turn for the worse. This must be very hard on both Chelsea and Adam, so that is why they’re staying longer.
Nick: Yeah, it’s just rough for all of them.
Victor: Yeah, I hate that for the kid. I really do. I feel sorry for what he must be going through now. And this is… It’ll be very tough on Adam.
[ Chelsea moaning ]
Sally: Well, as much as I have loved this charming attempt at a diversion…
Billy: I can’t stop thinking about Connor, Adam, and Chelsea.
Sally: Yeah, pretty much. And now that Adam has no idea when he’s coming home, I feel this real need to be there for him, like physically be there, you know? Hug him, hold his hand, let him know he’s not alone.
Billy: Yeah, no, I feel the same way about Chelsea.
Sally: Then, let’s do it.
Billy: Let’s do what?
Sally: Well, don’t you have access to a family jet? Let’s surprise Adam and Chelsea.
[ Chelsea panting ] think for a moment I would even consider Kyle’s demands?
Diane: Because maybe there’s a part of you that blames me for what’s happening with Kyle. I fired him without giving you any warning, practically forcing you to choose between the two of us, and you chose me.
Jack: I chose what was best for the family, for the company. Even if Kyle doesn’t agree with that.
Diane: But Jack, be honest with me. Really, are you sure you don’t resent me for firing him without consulting you first?
Jack: I wish we had discussed it first. I’ve told you that before, but I understand why you did what you did. I totally support that this was the only decision you had left.
Diane: So, that hesitation before turning him down was what?
Jack: His demand was outrageous. I didn’t know how to react.
Diane: Oh. Well, I wish I could say I was surprised, but this is what it’s come to with our son.
Jack: Honey, he’s lashing out. He’s wounded. We’re in the heat of it all. Once things cool down, once he steps back from his anger, I’m hoping what you said earlier is true, that… this is a good thing for Kyle. This is what he needs. To learn from his mistakes. To find himself. To forge his own future that he can be proud of.
Diane: Well, I’ll hold out hope for that. But right now, it seems like his only goal is to shut us out of his life completely. And Harrison’s caught in the middle.
Jack: Oh, God. The idea of not seeing that smiling face first thing in the morning.
Diane: Jack, Jack, we have got to find a way to fix this before it’s too late.
Jack: Actually, there might be a way forward. But it would depend on you.
Victor: All I can tell you is that I pray for Connor to win this battle and I think he will.
Nick: Yeah.
Victor: Puts a family’s squabbles and conflicts in perspective, doesn’t it?
Nick: In principle, I do agree with you. But this is Adam we’re talking about. There have been several squabbles over the years that have certainly been warranted.
Victor: Yeah, but remember, in these moments, it is family unity, moments of crisis like this, that makes us survive. Right? Makes us strong.
Nick: Absolutely. And I know Adam really needs us right now.
Victor: Well, that’s why I put him back at the head of Newman Media. Because he needs to focus.
Nick: I do find it very interesting. That is exactly why Mom wanted to go back to work, but she doesn’t seem to be getting the same consideration.
Victor: Why do you say that, son? You know that I’m always concerned about your mother. You kidding me? This is temporary.
Nick: Right.
Victor: Right.
Nick: So, Mom has time to get her recovery on solid ground and it will give Adam a chance to regain a stronger sense of purpose.
Victor: Exactly.
Nick: Yeah.
Diane: I’ll do it. I’ll resign. I will. But if I step down now, then we are just pacifying Kyle and his tantrum.
Jack: I absolutely don’t want you to resign.
Diane: Then, what do you want me to do?
Jack: I was just hoping maybe there was some way to approach Kyle. Mother to son.
[ Diane sighing ]
Diane: All right, but in order for that to work, I would need to be able to have a conversation with him and remain in the same room for a while, and I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Jack: Okay. Maybe, I’m just hoping against hope. Maybe the only thing we can do is let things play out.
Diane: No, you’re right. You’re right. It is up to me. I– I don’t know how I’m going to fix this, but I– I can’t just do nothing. You know, things might have exploded beyond repair professionally for the two of us, but I’m still Kyle’s mother, and I can’t let it end this way, not after all the time we already lost. Jack, you know how hard I worked to get back into his life and to earn his forgiveness after leaving him and… I just will not lose my son again.
Jack: Hey, hey, hey. Come here.
Diane: Thanks. So, what happened with Victor? Was he gloating? Was he taking credit for bringing this hell down on us?
Jack: No, he admitted to nothing. He was very clear that he was still furious at me for what happened in that hotel room with Nikki.
Diane: So, Michael’s and my suspicions were right. This is all about revenge he wants on you for that night.
Jack: Yeah, that could well be, but I warned him, stay away from Kyle and you. If he wants to come after me, he can do that, but only me.
Diane: I appreciate you wanting to protect me, but I can handle Victor. I’ve had lots of experience.
Jack: Well, let’s hope you don’t have to. That said, we should prepare. One of the things he warned me was that if he chooses retaliation, I won’t see it coming.
Diane: Well, that’s a chilling thought. But maybe this is his revenge. Maybe he’s accomplished it. Turning Kyle against us. And not just at Jabot, but in every way that matters.
Nick: All this talk about how the latest game of corporate musical chairs is best for the family, yet I cannot shake this feeling that there’s something more at play here. So, what aren’t you telling me?
Kyle: Hi. Good evening.
Victor: Hi, Kyle.
Nick: Hey, man.
Victor: Good to see you. What’s happening?
Kyle: Oh, you know, fresh off another lesson that family’s more trouble than it’s worth.
Victor: Oh, yeah?
Kyle: Mm.
Victor: Huh.
Nick: It’s funny, Dad was just saying the opposite, that the family bond trumps any petty conflicts.
Kyle: I used to feel the same, but not anymore. Please excuse me.
Victor: All right.
Nick: Well, it’s getting late. I gotta go. Thank you for sharing your tequila with me.
Victor: Son, nothing makes me happier than spending time with my family.
Nick: Even when we don’t see eye to eye?
Victor: Well, you get over it.
Nick: Oh, so the añejo was a bribe?
Victor: Well, you know, I’m trying. But, in all seriousness, I need your allegiance.
[ Nick laughing ]
Nick: I think we both know that you don’t need my allegiance because you’re gonna do whatever you want anyway, right?
Victor: You know me pretty well, don’t you?
Nick: Good night, Dad.
Victor: Good night, son.
Nick: See you, Kyle.
Kyle: See you.
Victor: Kyle, why don’t you have a seat?
Kyle: I’ll take it over here.
Victor: Let me ask you something, Kyle. Why did you tell your dad that you and I were in collusion against him?
Billy: Surprising Adam and Chelsea? That is… It’s very tempting.
Sally: So, that’s a yes?
Billy: Well, I had a conversation with Chelsea about it earlier. I told her that I would come out and be there for her, but she waved it off. I think she and Adam really want to focus on being there for Connor, and as much as we would be trying to help, I think, ultimately, we would be a distraction. I don’t want to cause any more stress for her.
Sally: You’re probably right. I just hate doing nothing.
Billy: You’re not doing nothing. You’re doing a lot. You’re loving. You’re supportive. And that counts, Sally.
Sally: Thank you. I think I needed to hear that.
Billy: I think I needed to hear it too.
Sally: Well, this has been nice. You know, getting to talk to someone who understands. Being able to lean on each other, if that’s not too presumptuous.
Billy: No, it’s not. I mean, the truth is, we’re connected now. Because of our love for Connor.
Sally: I meant what I said earlier. Chelsea’s really lucky to have you in her corner.
Billy: And I meant what I said. Not as lucky as Adam is to have you. Good night.
Sally: Good night.
