[ phone ringing ]
Traci: Jack, Jack, it’s so late there. Is– is something wrong at home?
Jack: No, not at all. Not at all. I just wanted to see if maybe you wanted to trade places. I’ll come to Paris and have coffee and croissants in the morning, and you can battle insomnia here in Genoa City. What do you think?
Traci: Well, let me think about that for a minute. No, I’m good.
Jack: Darn. Well, at least I got you on the phone. We can chat. How’s my beautiful sister doing?
Traci: And which beautiful sister are you referring to?
Jack: Let’s start with you. But judging how radiant you are, I think I already have the answer to that question.
Traci: Well, I am having a lovely time in Paris. Now that the worst of it is over, of course. I wish they would let me spend a little more time with Ashley, but the time that I do get to spend with her, it’s so encouraging. Jack, I am so proud of her.
Jack: Oh, I am so proud of her. And I’m so relieved for you. I know this is a large weight lifted off your shoulders.
Traci: Yeah, you know, I– I do. I feel a million percent better. For the first time in a really long time, I’m finally remembering what it’s like to have a little hope. And I’m looking forward to all of the opportunities that are ahead for all of us.
Nick: It’s getting late.
Phyllis: At what point is another espresso a bad idea?
Nick: At the point when you get so wound up about Summer, I can start to see you twitch.
Phyllis: Oh, I’m not– I’m not wound up. I’m not stressed. I’m not. I’m just, I’m thinking methodically. Thinking methodically about all the things we put on the table as to what could really be going on with our daughter.
Nick: Have you got a winner yet?
Phyllis: I do. The last thing we came up with. I think that she is really going for custody for Harrison, or– or thinking about it, rather, because it’s a knee-jerk reaction. Because she’s angry, and maybe a little jealous.
Nick: Okay. Putting yourself in her shoes. Total stretch.
Phyllis: Yeah, but I’m not 100 percent sure. Because also, Nick, she knows Kyle. She knows when he’s distracted. And she knows when he’s reckless. And she knows if he’s going to be a bad influence on their son.
Nick: Well, there’s no denying how in tune she is with whatever Harrison needs.
Phyllis: She has really great intuition as a mom, doesn’t she?
Nick: Yeah.
Phyllis: I think Kyle could be going down a slippery slope.
Nick: I think we should just take a step back and let Summer handle this on her own, you know?
Phyllis: Let’s get out of here.
Nick: You ready to call it a night?
Phyllis: Mm-mm. Definitely not. I think we need to just change venue and go somewhere, you know, where I can really chill out and relax. You know what I mean? And we can talk about our daughter. Let’s go.
Kyle: Thanks.
Daniel: Hey, man. Grab a beer, please.
Kyle: Hi.
Daniel: I’m guessing that’s not work.
Kyle: Why do you say that?
Daniel: Well, I heard you’re no longer with Jabot. Sorry about that.
Kyle: Pretty sure I can guess where you got that little bit of intel? Hmm. It’s probably not as bad as Summer made it out to be.
Daniel: Oh, hey. No judgment here. Come on. It’s a secret that I was given the boot from Chancellor-Winters not too long ago. Not such a great feeling.
Kyle: Mm. Especially when you consider how it went down. You know, my mother firing me, uh, your ex firing you.
Daniel: Oh, fun times.
Kyle: Ah, the good news is, we don’t have to let them have the last laugh.
Daniel: What do you mean?
Kyle: Well, when one door closes, a bigger, better one opens. Nice and wide.
Claire: I want to bring home something yummy for my mom’s breakfast. Only I’m not sure what. Everything here looks really good. Um…
Victor: Can I help you decide?
Claire: Grandpa, are you following me around tonight?
Victor: No.
Claire: Because I told you I was fine.
Victor: I came here for a croissant. Now, look at these eclairs. You know, those were your mother’s favorite when she was a child.
Claire: They’re my favorite, too.
Victor: Really?
Claire: Yeah.
Victor: Okay. Well, why don’t we sit over there? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.
Victor: Mmm. Mm-hmm. Good.
Claire: Do you want to hear something kind of funny?
Victor: What?
Claire: When I was a kid, I thought eclairs were named after me.
Victor: Oh, yeah?
Claire: Mm-hmm.
Victor: Perfect.
Claire: Note to self, don’t eat an eclair on a date.
Victor: Is that what you and Kyle were doing earlier when I saw you at Society?
Claire: A date?
Victor: Yeah.
Claire: You’re kidding. Grandpa, I work for him. I would– I would never cross that line.
Victor: I’m glad to hear that, okay?
Claire: This isn’t what you wanted to talk to me about, is it? I mean, I– I did join him for a drink after you left.
Victor: Uh-huh.
Claire: But I wasn’t trying to ditch you or be sneaky.
Victor: I’m very relieved.
Claire: Full disclosure, I had dinner with him earlier.
Victor: Hm.
Claire: But I didn’t think it was a big deal. Did I do something wrong?
Victor: No, sweetheart, you did nothing wrong, and I– I’m sorry if I gave you that impression. No, nothing.
Claire: Okay, good.
Victor: Except to say, I think you need to know some things about Kyle.
Daniel: Well, I’m glad to hear that one of us has job prospects.
Kyle: Eh, Give it some time. These things tend to happen exactly when they’re meant to.
Daniel: Oh, you got something concrete lined up?
Kyle: It’ll be announced publicly tomorrow. Wish I could share, but you’ll have to wait and hear with the rest of the world.
Daniel: Oh, well, that sounds pretty major. It must be what Summer was worried about. She knows what it is, right?
Kyle: Yeah. For the most part. What’d she say?
Daniel: Uh, well, she didn’t give me any specifics, but she definitely wasn’t as psyched as you seem to be.
Kyle: Summer needs to relax. What I do with my career, it doesn’t affect her.
Daniel: That’s not really true.
Kyle: Yeah, we’re divorced, Daniel.
Daniel: Co-parenting exes.
Kyle: Does having ambition in the workplace make me lesser of a father to my son?
Daniel: Maybe it’s just timing after everything that Harrison’s been through.
Kyle: Yeah, she’s threatening to come at me with lawyers to go after custody. Look, I’m telling you, Summer better tread lightly, or this is going to blow up in her face in a way she isn’t anticipating.
Jack: Are you spending much time with Abby?
Traci: Actually, she and I have been to see Ashley a few times now. You should see our sister’s face light up when her baby girl walks into the room.
Jack: I am so relieved the two of you are there for her. I still lie awake at night worrying about Ashley, hence this phone call.
Traci: And this is the only thing that keeps you awake at night, Jack?
Jack: There are always fires to put out here, you know that.
Traci: Anything you want to talk about?
Jack: Nothing that can’t wait until your return. Besides, I don’t want to ruin this glow you have. Paris really seems to agree with you.
Traci: On that topic, um, Jack, I think I’m going to stay a little while longer in Paris. I– I really like being close to Ashley, and I can write from anywhere.
Jack: Is there anyone else you’re close to these days?
Traci: Jack, stop.
Jack: Wow, that sounds like a yes.
Traci: Oh, okay, I have been spending a little time with Alan, actually.
Jack: That is wonderful. I like Alan. He seems like a really good guy.
Traci: He is.
Jack: I do feel for him with all he’s been through with his brother, but he’s lucky to have you to help him through it.
Traci: We’ve been supporting each other.
Jack: I’m sure you are.
[ knocking on door ]
Traci: Um, uh, that might be him now.
Jack: Oh, go. Don’t let me hold you, uh… Thank you for brightening my night. I love you, Trace.
Traci: Get some sleep, Jack. I love you, too. I’m coming!
[ Traci gasping ]
Christine: Bonjour.
Danny: Enchantй.
Traci: Oh! Oh, look. Oh, you guys. Oh.
Christine: Surprise.
Traci: Oh, come in. You– Sit down, you guys. I thought you weren’t going to be able to make it. You said you were so swamped with rehearsals and sold out shows.
Christine: We realized that there are things that are way more important.
Traci: Oh…
Danny: Yeah, I mean, come on. We’re all in Paris together at the same time, we had– we had to make this happen.
Traci: Oh, I’m so glad you did. I’m not kidding. You have to tell me everything. How’s the tour? What’s happening?
Danny: Oh, it is fantastique. The best that I remember.
Christine: Yeah, we’ve been having so much fun.
Traci: I can see that. You’ve left a little lipstick.
Christine: That’s not me.
Traci: What?
Danny: What? Right– oh, well, that was an overzealous fan in the lobby. You didn’t tell me she left a mark.
Christine: Well, you know what? You can have lipstick on your cheek. You’re a badass rock star.
Traci: She is not wrong.
Danny: Okay. Well, hey, if that’s the look I’m going for, then having two gorgeous blondes on my arm would do the trick then, you know? So what do you say, Traci? How about joining us for breakfast?
Christine: Oh yeah.
Traci: Oh.
[ knocking on door ] Hold that thought.
Danny: Trиs bien.
Alan: Hello.
Traci: Alan, hello. Please. My friends have stopped by. Come in.
Alan: Oh, my goodness. Are you kidding me?
Traci: Danny.
Alan: Wow, of course. Nice to meet you.
Traci: Christine, this is Alan.
Alan: Alan, yes. Christine, hi. Nice to meet you.
Christine: Nice to meet you.
Alan: Wow. Um, well, forgive me if I’m a little starstruck. I– I knew Traci knew you, but I didn’t think I’d ever get a chance to really meet you.
Danny: Well, uh, I’ll do you one better, Alan. Why don’t you join us for breakfast?
Alan: Really?
Traci: I– I didn’t want to accept until I’d run it past you.
Alan: What? Well, yeah, of course. I’d love to.
Danny: We’ll talk about when Traci was in the band, you know? She’s not as innocent as she pretends to be.
Alan: Oh, really?
Traci: Danny!
Alan: I’d certainly love to hear about that.
Traci: Oh, come on.
Christine: I kind of do, too, so let’s go.
Alan: Well, here we go, ah?
Traci: Thank you. All right, you guys.
Christine: This’ll be great. Thank you.
Daniel: I don’t think that responding to someone with threats of your own is the best thing to do.
Kyle: She said she’s coming after my kid, Daniel. I don’t take that lightly.
Daniel: That’s not what she’s doing. She told me she just wants to spend more time with him in light of everything that’s happened.
Kyle: No, she’s lashing out at me through my son. I saw it in her eyes. It’s some sick form of revenge.
Daniel: Revenge for what?
Kyle: She’s pissed that I hired Claire as Harrison’s nanny. And she’s even madder that he thinks she’s the greatest.
Claire: Hey, Grandpa.
Victor: Yeah?
Claire: How did you know that I ran into Kyle earlier? I thought that you left before I joined him.
Victor: As I was leaving Society, I looked through the window, saw the two of you together. A rather comfortable situation, you know?
Claire: Yeah. Yeah, we’ve– we’ve gotten to be pretty good friends.
Victor: Mm-hmm.
Claire: I mean, obviously, our main connection is Harrison. He’s probably the number one thing we talk about.
Victor: You talk to him about other things?
Claire: Sometimes.
Victor: Hm.
Claire: Kyle confides in me.
Victor: Mm-hmm.
Claire: I think he knows that I’m a safe person to talk to, that I would never betray his trust.
Victor: Don’t you think that’s rather odd? I mean, he barely knows you. You’re just his son’s nanny.
Claire: Grandpa, you can just tell me if you don’t approve of my being friends with Kyle.
Nick: Espresso with a red wine and french fry chaser. Legendary. I don’t know anyone like you.
Phyllis: Helps me think.
Nick: There’s really nothing to think about because we cannot control what happens with Summer and Kyle.
Phyllis: What? That’s not true. We’re her parents. We have influence.
Nick: I know you like to think that, but that went out the window the day Summer turned into a teenager.
Phyllis: No, it didn’t.
Nick: Yeah, it did.
Phyllis: No, it didn’t. Listen, we have experienced more life, okay? And she does take our opinions as sage. She takes everything that we say to her into consideration. She does. And if she doesn’t, we’ll just force her to listen.
Nick: Right. Like we tried earlier, because that went so great.
[ Phyllis sighing ]
Phyllis: I’m not giving up on her.
Nick: I’ve noticed that about you.
Phyllis: We have wisdom.
Nick: Mm. Yeah, we can have all the wisdom we want, but she’s just going to do whatever she wants anyway. We both know that.
Phyllis: What happened to you? You used to be so overprotective. What happened?
Nick: Look, I’m happy to sit here and plot ways to help Summer navigate whatever comes next, but don’t you think it’s best if we just let her work it out on her own? She can deal directly with Kyle, and then hopefully, they can avoid court altogether.
Phyllis: You know, I’d love that. In a perfect world, that’s a great idea. But I just want her to know that we have the cachet to back up what we say.
Nick: It’s crazy to think about– You know, it kind of felt like we were just kids ourselves while we were raising Supergirl. And now, we think we have all these answers. Why? I mean, why do we think that? Because we have a few gray hairs now? Just talking about me. Not you.
Phyllis: No. Not me.
Nick: Not you.
[ Phyllis sighing ]
Phyllis: It’s just really hard, isn’t it? Giving advice from the outside looking in, it’s a little easier.
[ Phyllis sighing ] I just, I don’t want her to feel any pain. I just want everything for her.
Nick: Everything good.
Phyllis: Yeah. Everything good. And you could see the potential mistakes, you know? And you want to stop them. And I say, don’t, don’t, don’t go over there. Don’t do that. Watch out for the cliff. You’re about to fall.
[ Phyllis chuckling ]
Nick: How come nobody did that for us?
Phyllis: I think some people tried to do it for me.
Nick: Mm. How come you didn’t listen?
Victor: Don’t misunderstand me. It is not up to me who you befriend. I just know Kyle a bit better than you do.
Claire: I realize that you want what’s best for me.
Victor: Mm-hmm.
Claire: But I have no reason to believe that Kyle is a threat.
Victor: Mm-hmm. Do you know that he just recently divorced my other granddaughter?
Claire: Is that what this is about? Summer?
Victor: No, it’s not about Summer. How much did you know about Kyle before he came to town? I’m sure there’s some things he rather you not know.
Claire: It sure sounds like you’re trying to turn me against him.
Victor: Sweetheart, I’m asking you to proceed with caution. Okay? You just landed on your feet. You just recently escaped that ogre aunt of yours.
Claire: And I’m doing really well on that front.
Victor: And that is why I don’t want you to become involved in Kyle’s turmoil.
Daniel: You know, when you’re done blowing off steam there, I would strongly recommend that you take a look at this from Summer’s point of view. She loves her son. Your son. That’s the takeaway here.
Kyle: Yeah, if that’s the case, then why is she coming at me with lawyers? Is that really putting Harrison first? Making him live through all that trauma?
Daniel: Well, I get the trauma of a custody battle 100%, but her whole goal here is to try and keep from causing that kid any more trauma.
Kyle: No, her whole goal here is to cause me pain. So, how about instead of defending your sister’s attacks against me, why don’t you tell her to back the hell off before she lives to regret it?
Tessa: Yikes.
Daniel: Yeah, yikes.
Alan: So, you guys have been together a long time.
Danny: Uh, well, um, unfortunately, it– it was on and off.
Traci: But you’re together now and that’s all that matters.
Alan: And Christine, I’m sure that you’re the envy of many fans.
Christine: Oh.
Danny: Oh, believe me, she caused quite a stir on social media. Oh, it was, it was big.
Christine: Someone just posted a picture of me kissing Danny when he came off stage.
Traci: Oh, I’m gonna have to look that up.
Danny: Oh, no, no, you two. Look, I’ll show you exactly how it went down. See, no biggie.
Christine: Wha–
Danny: I’m kidding, it was a wonderful kiss.
Christine: Speak for yourself.
Danny: I love it, it was beautiful.
Christine: Oh, my gosh.
Danny: All right, enough about us. I want to know how you two became friends.
Traci: Um, well– well, um… we met through Ashley. Do you mind if I share this?
Alan: Yes, of course. No, I– I prefer it come from you.
Traci: Okay. Um, we did not meet under the best of circumstances. I won’t give you any details.
Christine: I– I’m sorry, is Ashley okay?
Traci: Oh, thank you for asking. Yes, yes, she is. She’s taking a little time for herself, and everything’s going really well. Um, in fact, for the first time in a long time, I’m feeling really optimistic about the future.
Alan: Me too.
Nick: So, guess who took a hardcore trip down memory lane recently?
Phyllis: Mm. What kind of memories are we talking about?
Nick: All of them. Faith is home, and she and Moses broke up.
Phyllis: Hm.
Nick: It sort of started this conversation about Sharon’s and my relationship and its history.
Phyllis: Oh. Its history. That’s a rocky road.
Nick: Yeah.
Phyllis: Hm. I mean, but not all of it, right?
Nick: We went with total honesty.
Phyllis: Hm. So, are you warning me to duck for cover next time I see Faith?
Nick: No, you– you don’t have to do that. I mean, she knew most of it already. And in fact, Sharon was, uh, charitable when it came to your role in all of our breakups.
Phyllis: So, how was that for you? Reliving all of that? I mean, did you get sucked into the romance of it all again? Or are you done with love? ve? Wouldn’t you like to know?
Phyllis: I don’t need to know. I know the answer. You’re a hot dad with a pulse. You’ll find someone.
Nick: What about you? You’re a hot mom. Nick/
Phyllis: With a pulse.
Nick: Yeah. How long until you get back into another relationship?
Phyllis: Oh, no, no, no. I’m not doing that. I’m not doing that ever again. No. I don’t need to remind you, last time we were in this building, and I was crying on your shoulder about that loser, loser singer that shall remain nameless.
Nick: Still stinging about Danny, huh?
Phyllis: Oh, what? No. I’ve so moved on. But I can’t help reveling in the thought of Christine sitting in the back of this bumpy tour bus going from town to town, sitting sweating in between two guys that she doesn’t know, with the smell of coffee breath and mystery meat from the night before, thinking about her miserable life. It makes me feel great.
Nick: You know, they probably went to Europe on a private jet, right?
Phyllis: Wh– why? What? Wha– Why would you kill the buzz? What’s wrong with you?
[ Alan laughing ]
Alan: I remember that one. Oops, excuse me.
Traci: Mm.
Alan: Oh, guys, I’m sorry. Excuse me. I have to take this, all right? Alan Laurent.
Danny: I like him. This is incredible. What– Yeah.
Christine: Alan is awesome. We are so happy for you.
Traci: Oh, you guys, I– Um, it’s– it’s moving a little fast. But somehow, it feels right.
Christine: Well, it must feel right if you’re staying in Paris for him.
Danny: Yeah.
Traci: Oh, I’m– I’m staying in Paris for my sister. But, um, being able to spend my free time with Alan is definitely an added incentive.
Tessa: Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time we spoke, you requested step-by-step instructions about how to put the pieces of your life back together.
Daniel: And I took notes.
Tessa: Cool. So I’m going to assume that my brilliant advice holds, and whatever that was has no bearing on said genius.
Daniel: No, no, no, totally, totally. That– that– With Kyle, that was not about me. Although, now I’m starting to think that I might actually need your advice to help my sister put the pieces of her life back together.
Tessa: Oh, uh, yeah, sorry. I usually stay out of sibling issues. I’ve got plenty of my own, thanks.
Daniel: You’re smart.
Tessa: But I could offer a little insight if you’re desperate.
Daniel: Oh, Tessa’s tips round two. Let’s go.
Tessa: Did Summer ask you to fix her life?
Daniel: Not in so many words, no.
Tessa: Then, maybe let her do her own fixing? I’m sure you’re coming from a place of love and good intention, but meddling in someone else’s problems rarely ever has the outcome we’re hoping for, especially when it’s family.
Claire: I appreciate what you’re saying, Grandpa. My therapist actually cautioned me against taking on other people’s problems, too. But I really have never felt the need to do anything more than listen to Kyle. I think that’s all he’s looking for.
Victor: Okay. Glad to hear that. Well, sweetheart, I don’t think I’ve ever told you how much it breaks my heart to know what you’ve gone through, living with that Aunt Jordan, terrible woman. I don’t ever want anyone to take advantage of you again.
Claire: And I love you for that. I’ve never felt as cared for as I do by you, and– and Mom and Dad.
Victor: Yeah.
Claire: But I just… I don’t want you to think that my friendship with Kyle is in any way dangerous. It’s just simply not the case.
Victor: You know, I’ve lived a little longer than you have, and I got to tell you that I’ve known people who suddenly become a different person once their life turns upside down. They make enemies of former friends and they hurt people without intending to. And I don’t want that to happen to you.
Jack: Hey, thought I heard you. You’re home late.
Kyle: Mm. Sweet sound of judgment.
Jack: Not at all.
Kyle: Then what, an ambush? Sorry, I’m not in the mood for another round of “what’s wrong with Kyle.”
Jack: That is not what this is.
Kyle: Mm. Uh-huh?
Jack: I had an after-hours call with Traci. It’s morning in Paris. I wanted to check on Ashley. I heard you come in just now. Is– is everything okay?
Kyle: Mm. Did you seriously just ask me that? I’m gonna take my drink up in my room. Call when I–
Jack: No, wait, wait, wait, wait. Kyle. Can we just talk? Father and son. Tessa’s latest tip, in theory, is solid. Uh, ten out of ten.
Tessa: But you are going to ignore my super solid advice because…
Daniel: Mm. Well, have you met my family? I mean, we don’t really do hands-off.
Tessa: Mm. Well, anyway, here I am telling you to butt out of other people’s lives, while I’m totally meddling in yours.
Daniel: No, no, no, no, no. I– I appreciate it. I asked for the advice. It’s just, I feel like, you know, my family holds a trophy for most dysfunctional.
Tessa: Oof, really? Did Summer ever ask you for $20,000 to help repay the people who helped fund her life on the run?
Daniel: What are you talking about?
Tessa: Yeah, Tessa’s tip number three, don’t take the crown until you know the competition.
Traci: Oh my gosh, this has been so much fun. You guys, I don’t want it to end.
Danny: So, why let it? Yeah, come to the show tonight as– as my guests.
Christine: Yes, yes, please, please say yes. I would love the company. We would have so much fun.
Traci: Oh, I’m in if Alan is.
Alan: Uh, are you kidding me? Yes, of course. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Danny: All right, there it is. Wonderful. Oh, one thing, I am going to pull you on stage for a song or two.
Traci: Oh, no.
Danny: Don’t say no.
Alan: Yes. Come on.
Traci: No. No, Danny, no. I’m going as a super fan. I’m going to stand backstage and take candid photos of you and Christine, and I’m going to put them on my social media. I understand you can get really rich going viral.
Danny: Uh, I’m not sure if you’re going to get rich with just one stolen kiss.
Christine: Well, we’re never going to find out. Anyway, I love you.
Traci: Oh, I love you.
Christine: See you tonight.
Alan: Ah, nice to meet you.
Danny: You, too.
Alan: See you tonight. And if you see someone crowd surfing during “Rock On,” just know it’s me.
Christine: Oh, okay.
Danny: Yeah, I will be, yes.
Christine: Wow.
Danny: We’ll have a look.
Christine: See you guys.
Traci: Really?
Alan: Wow, I did not expect the day to go this way, huh?
Traci: I didn’t either. I– I hope it’s a good thing.
Alan: The evening was great. It was great. It’s wonderful to meet your friends and– I mean, not just because Danny’s famous, but they clearly adore you. And I can understand why.
Claire: It’s crazy how Jordan got me to believe she had my best interests at heart, and I legitimately did. I bought into doing terrible things for her, even though I knew on some level, they were wrong. And when I compare that to how you all treat me now, it’s just, how did I ever believe her?
Victor: Well, you got to forgive yourself, you know? You had nothing to compare it to. Having said that, if you ever in the future have any doubt about any– or anything, you come to me.
Claire: I will.
Victor: You promise? Good. You may have noticed by now that I’m very concerned about keeping my family safe. I grew up without a family. I grew up in an orphanage. So, family means everything to me, okay? Just want you to know. I keep them safe, no matter what.
Claire: I can see that. And I’m really so grateful for that.
Jack: Harrison sure went down early.
Kyle: Hm. She, uh, keeps him busy. He comes home exhausted.
Jack: Claire seems to be the perfect salve for his wounds. It was a good idea to hire her.
Kyle: Thanks for saying that, Dad.
Jack: If there’s one thing you excel at, son, it’s being a father.
Kyle: Oh, ha, that’s where it ends. Great father, lousy heir apparent.
Jack: Wait, wait. Let’s not go there.
Kyle: Yeah, why not? It’s the elephant in the room. You’re pushing me out of the company. And now you’re just pushing me out of my home, aren’t you?
Jack: That’s not fair. And you know it.
Kyle: It’s true. You just don’t like to hear it.
Jack: You are not an innocent bystander in this. You approved of this. You encouraged me to promote your mother. And then, you thwarted her every move.
Kyle: Yeah, because I realized she was in over her head. Dad, why couldn’t you just hand me the reins when Billy left? It would have been the smoothest transition ever. I would have killed it.
Jack: I thought–
Kyle: You didn’t trust me. That’s what you were thinking. You didn’t think I was capable. Well, guess what? I am out to prove to you and Mom just how wrong you were.
Nick: Looks like we closed down the joint.
Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. We could take a hint. Don’t have to turn off the lights. So, you never answered my question from before.
Nick: Right. Well, my people will be handling any interview requests for the foreseeable future.
Phyllis: Ah, and by your people, you mean all those potential women you plan to date, if– if you feel like it.
Nick: I’m not planning on dating a bunch of women. I’m not even planning on dating a single woman.
Phyllis: Oh, come on.
Nick: I mean it. Like, the whole app thing. I don’t get it. Like, you– Swiping left and…
Phyllis: Uh, no, uh– you swipe right, actually.
Nick: My point exactly.
Phyllis: Yeah.
Nick: It’s not my thing. Not going to be dating any women at work, or any of the moms at Christian’s school. Just chilling solo.
Phyllis: Liar.
Nick: Name the lie in that.
Phyllis: We’ll see.
Nick: We will see. Thanks for the fries. I had a good time.
Phyllis: Yeah, it was a good time. Thank you for the coffee, and the caffeine intervention.
Nick: Any time. Hot Mom. Have a good night.
Phyllis: You too. Hot Dad.
Daniel: No, there’s no way that’s a true story. Is your sister really on the run from the law?
Tessa: Well, not anymore. But no, I did not make it up.
Daniel: Wow.
Tessa: Yeah, Crystal and I didn’t have the best example of what it was to be like, you know, normal, functioning humans by our parents. So, we got in with some shady characters when we were younger. We got away, but it wasn’t easy. But things are better now. She was even at my wedding.
Daniel: So, a happy ending.
Tessa: Yeah.
Daniel: Well, I will say that I am sorry for underestimating everything that you’ve been through.
Tessa: Hm. Well, just a good reminder that you never know what the people around you are going through.
Daniel: Write it down. Because of that, my friends, should be Tessa’s tip number four.
Tessa: For the win!
Victor: Well, my darling, thank you for the company.
Claire: Best part of my day, easily.
Victor: Do you need a ride back to the ranch?
Claire: No, thank you. I drove myself here.
Victor: Okay. Now, will you remember what we just talked about?
Claire: I will. Although, I’m still not entirely sure what it is that you don’t like about Kyle.
Victor: You know, it’s not that I don’t like him. It’s just that he is… Jack Abbott’s son. And that is enough reason to proceed with caution, okay? Enough said. Good night, my sweetheart.
Claire: Good night.
Victor: I loved it. And this croissant is damn good. I’ll come back for more.
Jack: You’re going to prove to us you’re capable? What does that even mean?
Kyle: You’ll find out soon enough.
Jack: Well, what is this about? You know how proud I am of you. You don’t have to prove yourself to me.
Kyle: Oh, if that’s the case, then we wouldn’t be having this little heart-to-heart.
Jack: What are we even talking about? This is all riddles. What is it you’re going to spring on us to show us that we messed up?
Kyle: I’m taking over Glissade.
Jack: Wait, you’re what?
Kyle: It’s about to come out, so you may as well hear it straight from me. You are looking at the new head of Glissade. I’ll be working with–
Jack: Tucker!
Kyle: Audra Charles. I had the chance to work with Tucker at one point, but I stupidly turned him down out of loyalty to you. Well, not this time. Tucker is out, and I am in. And this is going to be my coming out party as one of Genoa City’s most formidable players. And Glissade will be a powerhouse. We not only have bottomless funding to give Jabot a run for its money, we will put it out of business. I would have done anything for you, Dad. Anything. And for Jabot. But not anymore. I work for the enemy. And there is nothing you can do to stop it.
