[ phone pinging ]
Sally: So, these are the looks that we talked about for the winter line. That’s the outerwear.
Summer: Mm.
Sally: Mm-hmm?
Summer: Okay.
Sally: You can see, I shortened the coat a little bit. And this is the formal piece. Chelsea really nailed the silhouette.
Summer: Yeah. Mm.
Sally: And we– we tweaked the collar just a little bit. And– and Chloe also mentioned that in addition to the black, we should do this in a midnight blue.
Summer: Sure. Sure.
Sally: You don’t seem really happy with these looks.
Summer: Ugh. I’m sorry. I… I’m not really happy. But it has nothing to do with these designs. Usually, a winter collection has a heaviness about it, but there’s a lightness here. It’s really smart, and unique.
Sally: Oh, good, because that’s exactly what I was going for.
Summer: Honestly, Sally, it’s really great.
Sally: Is everything all right? What’s going on?
Summer: Um, you know what? Can we just keep focused on work? I actually kind of need the distraction.
Sally: Yeah. I mean, you’re the boss. And I– I can make any changes that you want me to make to these.
Summer: I appreciate you bending over backwards to play nice.
Sally: I mean, it’s kind of easy to do when you like what I’ve done. I– Part of me was ready to fight to the death if you were going to try and kill any of these designs, even though it’s Chelsea’s vision for the brand.
Summer: Hey, you didn’t just execute Chelsea’s vision. I mean, what you added made these looks better. Honestly, Sally, I’m– I’m still kind of surprised at how well this is working out. You know, when Chelsea came to me and she wanted to take a step back to focus on Connor, I really didn’t have many choices. Hiring you was kind of an act of desperation on my part.
Sally: Yeah, I mean, I– I know we have a history and I had to prove myself.
Summer: Well, you have. And now that this winter collection is back on schedule, I think it’s time that we make some changes.
Chelsea: Okay, well, Connor, we know you have to go, but we’ll talk soon, all right?
Adam: All right, keep up the good work, buddy. We love you.
[ Chelsea sighing ]
Chelsea: Did that really just happen?
Adam: It’s hard to believe after everything he’s been through, but our son might actually be getting better.
Chelsea: I mean, we’re not supposed to get our hopes up, you know, after every phone call. The doctors keep saying, we can’t expect too much.
Adam: Hey, not today, though. Dr. Hammond said this really is a breakthrough in the treatment of his OCD.
Chelsea: I mean, he was so direct. He was so articulate about his condition, about his treatment. It’s like he– it’s like he’s finally understanding what’s really happening to him.
Adam: And– and he’s not hurting himself again. And now he thinks if he has those feelings again, he has tools to stop that from happening. He’s gonna beat this, Chelsea. I know he is.
Chelsea: Oh, my God, I hope you’re right. I mean, even if he has to live with this for the rest of his life, for the first time since his diagnosis, I can see what that life may look like.
Adam: Yeah. And the hopes and dreams that we had for our son.
Chelsea: Yeah. We– we can dare to have ’em again. Oh, my gosh.
Adam: Oh. Mm.
[ Adam sighing ] Uh, sorry.
Chelsea: No, I’m– I’m sorry. I– I initiated that hug. That was…
Adam: No, look, I… I took your hand when we were on the call–
Chelsea: No, that’s big, but we– we had gotten good news, so…
Adam: Well, yeah, we– I mean, we got really good news. So, we don’t have anything to feel badly about.
Chelsea: No, we’re–
Adam: Well, not anything that we did today.
Chelsea: We’re allowed to feel good, Adam.
Adam: Yeah, anything to spite guilt and pain.
Chelsea: This isn’t about us. You know? This is about our son.
Adam: Well, I have been the biggest pessimist about his condition. And I believe he’s gonna get better, so you should, too.
Chelsea: I do. So, I should, um… I’m gonna go find Billy.
Adam: Chelsea. Look, we’ve been there for each other because it’s what Connor needed.
Chelsea: I know, Adam. And I know Connor still needs that from us. But what happened between us in that hotel room–
[ knocking on door ]
Adam: Dad, what are you doing here?
Victor: I hope I’m not interrupting.
Victor: Thank you. Hello, Chelsea.
Chelsea: Hello, Victor.
Victor: Everything all right?
Adam: Um, we just got off a call with Connor.
Victor: Oh. How’s my grandson?
Adam: He’s getting better.
Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah, the doctors think he’s making some real progress.
Victor: Happy to hear that. Will he be home soon?
Adam: Well, he’s taken a big step, but he’s still got a long way to go.
Victor: Any way I can help?
Chelsea: Oh, that’s so nice. Uh, not really. I wanted to thank you, though, for letting us borrow the jet for our visits to Baltimore.
Victor: I’m very glad to do it. Anytime, all right? Must have been tough for both of you, to have him so far away.
Chelsea: Yeah.
Adam: Yeah.
Chelsea: But things are really looking up now.
Victor: Good. Chelsea, if you don’t mind, I’d like a word alone with Adam.
Chelsea: No problem. I was on my way out. I have a meeting with Summer.
Victor: All right.
Adam: Oh, you’re already back to work?
Chelsea: Well, she wanted to meet with me. She didn’t say why. It’s probably something I have to fix with the winter line.
Adam: Mm.
Chelsea: Adam, what happened today with Connor, it really puts things in perspective. I’m starting to feel like maybe things will be okay.
Adam: They will be.
Chelsea: All right. We’ll talk later. Bye, Victor.
Victor: Bye, Chelsea.
Adam: So, what brings you by?
Victor: You know why I’m here.
Adam: You want to know if I’m going to take you up on your offer to head up Newman Media?
Victor: Yeah. Can I count on you?
Sally: I’m confused. I thought we just established that you were happy with the work that I was doing.
Summer: I am.
Sally: Okay. Well, I mean, if this is about Chloe, she was a huge part of these designs, and really the only reason that we could stay under budget.
Summer: That’s great. Thank her for me. I am learning to appreciate someone’s passion, even if I don’t always appreciate their personality.
Sally: Well, Chloe has been on her best behavior. And so have I.
Summer: No, I’ve noticed. I haven’t felt any attempts at sabotage. I haven’t received any offers from fashion houses in Paris or Milan.
Sally: Yeah, well, I’m really glad that we can joke about that now. But it is kind of ironic that my scheme to get you out of a job here in Genoa City…
Summer: Has brought us to the point where you’re now working for me at Marchetti?
Sally: Yes, and now we’re…
Summer: Finishing each other’s sentences?
[ both laughing ]
Sally: Yeah.
Summer: I– I don’t think that we’ll ever be best friends.
Sally: Eh– understandable. I am just thankful and grateful to be a part of your team.
Summer: How would you feel about leading a team of your own?
Sally: I’m listening.
Summer: Okay, good. ‘Cause I thought that we could discuss this–
Chelsea: Hi. Sorry, I thought this meeting was just going to be with Summer. Sally, you didn’t mention you would be here when I saw you today at lunch.
Sally: I didn’t realize you were going to be a part of it.
Summer: No, I wanted you both here, so that we could all discuss this idea that I have for a more permanent position for Sally at Marchetti.
Chelsea: Are you firing me and giving my job to Sally?
Nate: Don’t you want to come up for air for just a minute?
Audra: Uh…
Nate: First day at Glissade, and she’s still at it. You know that work will keep until tomorrow, right?
Audra: Yeah, it’s already tomorrow in Paris.
Nate: The sun never sets on the Audra Charles Empire, huh?
Audra: Something like that.
Nate: So I shouldn’t take it personally that you barely looked at me since I sat down.
Audra: Look, I’m just trying to prove you wrong.
Nate: About?
Audra: Me.
Nate: How was I wrong about you?
Audra: It’s clear you think I’m not up to the challenge of running a multinational cosmetics startup.
Nate: Hang on. I never said that.
Audra: You said my new venture might be more trouble than I can handle.
Nate: If it was just you, world, look out. You know my main concern is you having to watch your back because of Kyle Abbott and this mysterious investor of yours.
Audra: And you also brought up the threat of Tucker crawling from beneath whatever rock he took refuge under.
Nate: Well, Tucker definitely didn’t crawl under that rock. You dropped it on him.
Audra: Which proves I can handle things just fine.
Nate: No doubt. I’m just looking out for a friend.
Audra: And I’m glad you’re looking out for me. But do you have to be so literal about it? Are you seriously going to sit there and watch me work?
Nate: No, I am not. Please, come with me.
Summer: I have no intention of replacing you with Sally. I am very committed to you and your vision.
Sally: So am I.
Chelsea: So, then what did I miss here? I mean, Marchetti isn’t big enough for two creative directors.
Summer: Actually, I have been thinking about expanding the brand. And I heard that you were in town, and I wanted to discuss it with you.
Chelsea: Oh. Okay, I’m intrigued.
Summer: So, basically we have the market cornered in classic and upscale, right? And I’ve been thinking about creating a new line at Marchetti that’s trendier. For a younger demographic. We could call it Marchetti Z. Target that generation.
Sally: That’s a great idea.
Summer: You think so? Because actually, I was considering making you the lead designer.
Sally: Seriously? I mean, I’d be thrilled.
Chelsea: I love this idea.
Sally: Do you? Because I know after this opportunity you gave me to help you with your winter line, I just wouldn’t want to take anything away from you.
Chelsea: No, I’m sorry if I acted territorial before. I– It’s just, I– You know, I needed to step away, but this job does mean a lot to me.
Summer: And look, I completely relate to that. Sometimes work is the only place that you feel like you have any control.
Sally: And given everything that you’ve been through with Connor, I do not want to in any way threaten that.
Chelsea: Listen, I’m the one who pitched you to cover for me. So, you don’t have to sell me on this. I think it is a win-win, for Marchetti and for Sally.
Summer: So? What do you say?
Sally: Uh… okay. Well, uh, I’m just going to skip over the part where I attempt false modesty, and just say, the truth is, I– I think it’s a great concept, and I think I would absolutely crush it.
Summer: All right. Well, I’m glad we don’t have to waste any time building up your confidence. Look, we definitely need to discuss this further, but, um… first, I would really love to hear how Connor’s doing.
Sally: Yeah, yeah, me– me too. I– I know that he was released from inpatient, but I haven’t had a chance to talk with Adam about how your video call went.
Chelsea: Well, uh, I don’t want to get too excited, but it seems that Connor’s turned a corner. He seems to be getting better. When this all first started, you know, we didn’t see that he was sick. We didn’t see the disease. And then once we did realize it, and he was getting help, it was hard to look at our son and not see the OCD, and not feel this intense guilt, thinking we might have caused it.
Summer: Wow.
Chelsea: Yeah, but now, um, after this video chat, I saw my son again. My– my son, you know, and he– and he’s really– He’s fighting this thing with everything he’s got.
Summer: That is so great. I’m– I’m so happy for you, and for Connor and Adam.
Sally: Adam must be thrilled.
Chelsea: Uh, yeah, you know, we’re just trying to keep our feet on the ground. Um, here can be setbacks along the way, uh, but the doctors feel like this is a great first step, so.
Summer: Well, it seems like you and Adam are really in sync with the whole co-parenting thing. That’s amazing. Not everyone’s that lucky.
Chelsea: Mm. Yeah, no, I don’t know. Um, Adam and I don’t really always bring out the best in each other, so…
Sally: Uh, well, that’s not really what I’ve been seeing. I mean, Adam has been an emotional wreck, and I do what I can to understand and be there for him, but I’m really grateful that Adam has you to lean on too.
Adam: Dad, I’m not going to waste my breath trying to convince you of a parent’s need to put their kids first. I know Victoria tried to get you to understand why she wanted to focus on Claire and Johnny and Katie, and that argument fell on deaf ears.
Victor: Victoria will come around in time. She realizes her proper place is at Newman Enterprises, alongside her brother, Nicholas.
Adam: And here, I thought that was my place.
Victor: Your place, really.
Adam: Mm-hmm. Um… Nick and I are getting along just fine at work. I mean, unless he’s told you different.
Victor: Mm-mm, he hasn’t.
Adam: I’ll admit, I do need a distraction from my personal drama, so I am intrigued by your offer. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to get dragged into one of your wars without knowing who it is we’re fighting.
Victor: No reason to know who that is.
Adam: You want me on the front lines, I’m going to need a name.
Victor: All right. If that is what it takes, I will let you know who it is that I’m targeting.
Audra: Why are we here?
Nate: To watch the sunset on your first day as head of Glissade.
[ Audra sighing ]
Audra: Yeah, it’s been quite a day.
Nate: Is that why all the sighs?
Audra: No, today started with the high of the posting of that article that built me up, all about how I’m living the dream. And then, people started coming at me with all sorts of real-world problems.
Nate: Such as?
Audra: Did you know the price of glass went up 30% last year? Which means those little bottles we put nail polish in either have to get smaller or the price we charge to the consumer has to get bigger.
Nate: Ah. That is a real-world problem.
Audra: Yeah. Then, there’s the supply chain issues, as they relate to a certain shade of pink pigment for any lipstick line. Oh, and the fight to keep cheap knock-offs of our fragrances from getting to market. But I won’t bore you with any of the details. Wait, I just did, didn’t I?
Nate: Audra, you’re a lot of things, okay? But you can never be boring.
[ Audra sighing ]
Audra: Yeah, I’ve dealt with stress before, but this, this is just the next level.
Nate: Hm.
Audra: And you keeping me from work isn’t helping.
Nate: Maybe this will.
Audra: Well, if this is coffee in any form, it might.
Nate: No, it is not. This is oolong tea.
Audra: Oh, no thanks.
Nate: Uh-uh, hear me out. Look, this tea is filled with amino acids that improve brain function. It also helps with sleep, reduces stress, and anxiety.
Audra: Hm. It also tastes like wet socks.
Nate: It will grow on you.
Audra: You say it like it’s a good thing.
Nate: Listen, when I was in med school and then doing my residency, I was a coffee addict. Some of my friends literally shot that stuff into their veins.
Audra: Oh, so you’re saying you can hook me up with an IV?
Nate: No joke, people did that too. But, uh, for me, I– I couldn’t keep up. It got to the point where if I didn’t have a cup of something strong in my hands, they would shake.
Audra: Yep.
Nate: And no one wants a doctor with shaky hands standing over them with a scalpel.
Audra: Oh, no.
Nate: So, I switched to tea. It evened me out. I got better sleep, had more focus, and I got through.
Audra: Hm. So, this is what the doctor ordered?
Nate: That, and a few deep breaths. You need to take a moment and just be.
Audra: Yeah, no, I don’t do that. Deep breathing and meditation, the “ohming” and the unplugging of chakras, that was Tucker’s thing, and I don’t want to be reminded of it.
Nate: Tucker knows nothing about being in the moment. You need to get out of your head and listen to your body. It’s telling you everything you need.
Audra: And what I need is a triple shot of espresso, and to get back to my tablet.
Nate: Audra, those sighs earlier, a sigh is just a short breath. It’s a release and a reconnection.
Audra: Do you really believe all that? Or is it just some pitch you worked up to impress the women in your yoga class?
Nate: Do you think everyone has an angle?
Audra: Hey, I’m all about angles, but I just like it when people are up front about it.
Nate: This isn’t some play to be with you, Audra. It’s an apology. I’m sorry if I made you think I wasn’t a true believer. This Glissade thing? You got this.
Audra: Thank you for saying that.
Nate: And this, what we’re doing right here, right now. It isn’t a seduction in any way, shape, or form. I like having you as a friend, Audra. I know we talked a lot about you needing one right now, but what I haven’t said is I’m in a place and time in my life where I need one, too. So, how about we, um, sit here for a little while longer?
Audra: I think I can do that.
Chelsea: Wow, Sally, this is such great work.
Sally: It’s just working with what you gave me.
Summer: Oh, hey, I thought we weren’t doing false modesty here.
Chelsea: The way you solved the closure problem on that skirt? It’s genius.
Sally: Thank you.
Summer: Guys, I am loving this collaborative spirit we have going on here. I have been wanting to create this kind of atmosphere at Marchetti.
[ phone dinging ] Oh, it’s my realtor. I am looking for a new house for me and Harrison.
Chelsea: Oh, I take it that means you and Kyle still aren’t on the same page?
Summer: Um, Kyle and I aren’t even in the same book anymore. Uh, Sally, thank you so much for all of your hard work.
Sally: Yeah, thank you again for this opportunity.
Summer: And Chelsea, just know you have a place here whenever you’re ready to come back. Bye, you guys.
Chelsea/Sally: Bye.
Chelsea: Uh, well, I’m so glad that all worked out.
Sally: Uh, do you have to leave? I think there’s something we need to talk about.
Victor: Now, son, very few people are privy to this, but I’ve taken steps to acquire Glissade, a cosmetics company.
Adam: Oh, I wish I could have seen the look on McCall’s face when he found that out.
Victor: You may still have a chance, you know. Just know that the financing of it was anonymous, and I want to keep it that way, for now.
Adam: Yeah. I heard that, uh, Audra Charles and Kyle Abbott were handpicked to run Glissade. That’s an interesting pairing. But what’s the connection between Glissade and Newman Media? It sounds like you’ve already cut Tucker off at the knees.
Victor: He’s not the target. I just want Newman Media to create a massive buzz about Glissade.
Adam: Well, that’s easy enough.
Victor: All right. And at the same time, I want you to go after the competition.
Adam: That’s it?
Victor: Yeah, that’s it.
Adam: What is it that you’re not telling me?
Nate: Look, I– I don’t want to keep you from your work, Audra. I just want you to remember why you’re so excited about it in the first place.
Audra: I am excited about running Glissade. And it’s not just about the money, or power. Though, unlike most people, I’m not afraid to admit I want both those things.
Nate: What else is it about? Showing Tucker he was wrong to underestimate you? That he was the only thing holding you back?
Audra: Yeah, I fell into that trap before, trying to get a man’s approval. But now I know I don’t need that. And I want to bring that lesson I learned to Glissade.
Nate: How so?
Audra: I know I have a partner and an investor, so I won’t have total control, but I’m the one who buys and uses makeup. Tucker, or Kyle, or any man can read a marketing report. They can hold focus groups. They can talk about margins and profit and loss, but I’m the one who knows what it means to look into a mirror and… And see myself for what I really am. Not how a man wants me to be. Life can get real ugly sometimes. And I know what it means to need to feel beautiful in those moments. You know, Glissade needs to be not about being beautiful for a man, but about women being beautiful for themselves.
Chelsea: Can it wait? Uh, I’m sure it’s something you want to discuss about the winter line, and you didn’t want to bother Summer with it.
Sally: Well, I just think we need to clear the air.
Chelsea: You know, if– if you’re worried about stepping on my toes at Marchetti–
Sally: Well, yeah, it’s that, but it’s also about Adam, too.
Chelsea: Um, what about Adam?
Sally: Well, I am trying to be more open and honest with my feelings. It’s not something I’ve been great at in my past. But listening to you and Adam talk about Connor, and seeing how you two are there for each other, it’s made me want to step up my game.
Chelsea: Well, you have been there for Adam. He tells me all the time how wonderful you are.
Sally: Well, thank you, but I want to be wonderful for Adam. You know, I mean, I’ve never been involved with a man who’s going through what you and Adam are going through.
Chelsea: Yeah, I don’t know. I think maybe you should– maybe you should just tell Adam all this.
Sally: No, I will, but I also want to tell you.
Chelsea: Okay.
[ Sally sighing ]
Sally: When Summer asked me to stay on more permanently at Marchetti, I also thought that she was going to ask me to take your place and I just want you to know that I would never do that.
Chelsea: I appreciate that.
Sally: I mean, I came here not only driven by ambition and the need for a job so I can pay my bills, but to support you. And that was clear to me from the very beginning. But what wasn’t clear to me was how I can support you and Adam without feeling threatened. You have done nothing at all to make me feel that way.
Chelsea: Sally, you have supported me and Adam. Honestly, you’ve been amazing, and I really want to thank you for that.
Sally: No, Chelsea, I should be thanking you. Seriously, you did not have to take Adam’s suggestion to pitch me to Summer, and with everything that you have going on with Connor right now, I’m the last person that you should be thinking about, so I owe you, Chelsea.
Chelsea: No, Sally, you really don’t.
Adam: I get why you want to pump up Glissade now that we own it, and why you want to give bad press to our competitors to gain market share.
Victor: Do you have a plan how to do that?
Adam: Well, I can make it happen. And I can make it appear that we’re being fair and balanced. But that’s not what’s giving me pause.
Victor: What is?
Adam: All seems a little… What’s the word I’m looking for? Reasonable.
[ Victor chuckling ]
Victor: You know I’m very reasonable.
Adam: Come on, you could have sold this to Nikki and Victoria. Why do you need me?
Victor: Because, son, you know everything about Newman Media. You started the darn company. It’s your baby.
Adam: You’ve talked about the competition, but you still haven’t specified your enemy.
Victor: Jabot is one of the large companies in the sector.
Adam: Yeah, and Nikki would never agree to go after Jack Abbott.
Victor: Bingo.
Adam: But I respect Jack Abbott.
Victor: I don’t give a damn what your feelings are about Jack Abbott, okay? You have never hesitated in the past to go for the kill. It’s like your father. I don’t hesitate. Even if it means to hurt someone you like.
Victor: Son, you’re like me. You get that you can’t be soft to survive, can you?
Adam: Well, I’m like you in the fact that I’m not afraid to fight dirty.
Victor: So, Glissade was well positioned, so I went after it.
Adam: Come on, you are not someone that lets the chips fall where they may. You want me to use Newman Media to improve your odds.
Victor: I want you to do damage to Jabot.
Adam: Okay, well I hurt Jabot, I hurt Jack. It’s the same as Newman. If Newman took a hit, you would feel it.
Victor: I don’t give a damn about what the hell happens to Jack Abbott. Look what I’m offering you. I’m offering you autonomy to run the damn company you started as you will. And you don’t have to share any power with your brother or your sister. I’m handing the company to you. What are you going to do with it? Can I trust you?
Adam: Are you sure that you can trust Kyle and Audra?
Nate: You opening up to me like that means a lot.
Audra: Don’t go reading into it, Nate.
Nate: Oh. And the armor’s already back on. Mm-hmm.
Audra: Oh, now that’s a shade of violet I need for a new line of eyeshadow.
Nate: And she’s back to work. But I’ve already seen a little more of you than maybe you meant to show. Now, I can’t speak for what you see when you look in the mirror. And you’ve already made it clear that you aren’t interested in what any man thinks. But for the record… the more of you I see, the more beautiful you are to me.
Audra: Does that ever really work for you?
Nate: The pretty damn annoying charm?
Audra: That’s the one.
Nate: Oh. You tell me.
Audra: I think you already know the answer.
Sally: Chelsea, did your call with Connor not go as well as you said?
Chelsea: No, the call went great.
Sally: Okay, so, what is it? I mean, you can be honest with me about this awkwardness between us. >
Chelsea: Awkward? Is it awkward? I don’t think it is.
Sally: Yeah, of cour– Chelsea, of course it is. I’m doing your job.
Chelsea: No, you stepped in for me at Marchetti, and you’re doing great, and I knew you would.
Sally: Okay, then– then what is it? I mean, I… I– I– I don’t know. It– it almost seems like…
Chelsea: Like what?
Sally: Like you’re guilty?
Chelsea: No, I mean, I– I feel… Of course, I feel a little bad walking away at such a critical time. You know, when Summer needed me. But, um– But you made it so everything’s okay. And I’m really grateful to you for that.
[ Chelsea and Adam panting ]
Sally: Chelsea.
Chelsea: Sorry, I think, um, I think I’m a little jet-lagged.
[ Chelsea and Adam panting ]
Sally: You’re tearing up. Now, I know something is really wrong. Can you please just tell me what it is?
Chelsea: Sally, I…
Sally: You’re a mess. I– I– I get it. I mean, how could you not be after everything that you’ve been going through with Connor?
Chelsea: Ah, yeah, um, I just feel like everything that’s happened with my son has me on this emotional rollercoaster. And like I mentioned to you at lunch, I don’t… I don’t feel like I have control over any aspect of my life. What I say, what I do.
Sally: Yeah, I mean, I’m sure you have so much anxiety and frustration. I know that Adam does. I mean, is it selfish of me to say that I’ve been afraid of losing him over this?
Chelsea: Sally, you are not going to lose Adam. He cares about you so much.
Sally: Yeah, I– I know he does, but I mean, his heart is so broken over Connor that sometimes I just wonder if there’s even a piece left for me.
[ Chelsea sighing ]
Chelsea: I’m really sorry if– if me needing Adam has come between the two of you.
Sally: No, no, no. No, no. That’s not at all what– what I’m trying to say, okay? I’m– I’m really, really glad that Adam has you. You know, when Adam and I lost our baby… it bonded us. And Connor is your baby. So, of course, you and Adam are going to get closer, because you’re his parents, and I really hope that you guys are always there for each other. I mean, I’m sure that you can help Adam out in ways that I can’t even imagine. Billy and I–
Chelsea: You know what? I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, Sally. I can’t talk about this right now. Um… Just know Adam loves you and you just have to stand by him. No matter what, okay? I’m really sorry. I have to go.
[ Sally scoffing ]
Victor: Now, Audra is very ambitious and savvy. She demonstrated that again when she turned Tucker’s board against him.
Adam: So, she stabbed someone in the back who trusts her? Yeah, that’s not very reassuring, Dad. Who’s to say we won’t end up the same?
Victor: You leave her to me.
Adam: And Kyle?
Victor: Well, so it happens that apparently, he had a huge falling out with his parents. Neither Jack nor Diane expressed a lot of faith in his talents. So understandably, he wants retribution. And I think we can use Newman Media to help him do that.
Adam: Hm. By crippling Jabot?
Victor: By crippling all competition. Now, that I’ve told you what’s going on, will you resume with leadership of Newman Media?
Adam: Uh… I’ll seriously consider it.
Victor: I can’t wait too long, okay? Time is of the essence.
Adam: I’ll sleep on it. I’ll let you know in the morning.
Victor: All right. Nice talking to you. I’m very happy that things are going well with Connor.
Adam: I am too.
Victor: Now, you can help your son and help your father.
[ door closing ]
Audra: I just want to be clear about something. We’re just in the moment, Nate, okay? Uh… I’m just getting out of my head and listening to my body.
Nate: I’m listening too, and I like what it’s saying.
Audra: I’m serious.
