Phyllis: Ah, okay. We need another cosmetic company, that’s for sure.

Tucker: This is not going to be just another cosmetic company. We’re going to have all of Ashley’s patents, which we will have rested from Jabot, and then we are going to take Jabot and we are going to… grind it into a fine powder and then scoop it up for pennies on the dollar.

Phyllis: My eyes are glazing over.

Tucker: But when we take over Jabot, Diane is going to be the major challenge, as I assume you know she has been promoted to the C-suite. Ergo, we would like her out of the way.

Phyllis: Out of the way?

Tucker: Um, di– distracted. Thrown off her game in whatever way possible and what better way to achieve that than to have you return? All your glory. Vindicated and Victorious.

Phyllis: Right. So… you give me my freedom… so I can come back to town and screw Diane over.

Tucker You got it.

***********

Lily: How do you not realize that you dating Victoria throws everything that you two did to Devon and me in our faces? Do you really think that we’re just going to forget that?

Nate: Lily, did you forget that Devon tried to take you to court? Or did you forget that Devon and Abby cheated on Amanda and Chance, got caught red-handed? Humiliated them, but they’re treated like the happy new couple in town. Everyone’s moved on. I am just as happy with Victoria, but all you and everyone else can see is the past. I admit it. I crossed a line. And I am sorry I hurt Elena, but the truth is, I’ve never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now, with Victoria.

Lily: Yeah, Nate, that’s what’s scary. It’s terrifying because Elena was your conscience, and Victoria can’t give you that. I mean, she’s pushing you to be bigger and better and collateral damage be damned.

Nate: For the record, I made the effort tonight

Adam: Listen to me, come on, sharon. I know you, okay? I know what you’re doing. You’re trying to save me from myself. This is about ava and it’s about sally, but I don’t need anyone’s pity, okay? Definitely not from you.

Sharon: No pity. I promise. Just partnership.

Adam: Listen to me. Think– think this through, sharon. If I feel you’re trying to manage me, I’m gonna be difficult and I’m gonna be argumentative. I’m gonna question every move you make. I’m gonna second guess every look you give me. This evolving friendship that we’ve managed to maintain, it’s gonna be blown to hell. Are you willing to risk that? Because I’m not. Not when you’re one of the only friends I have in this town.

*******************Chloe: You know, I was just giving my friend a career pep talk and I was going quite well without you intrusion.

Billy: Pep talk, right? Uh, to me it sounded like you’re doing a bang-up job explaining what’s in it for you. Truth be told, I’m– I’m on her side. I think it would be a great opportunity for you. It’s bold. It’s big picture, and with your talent, I think you’d knock it out of the park.

Chelsea: Thank you. I’ve been thinking about it, too, you know? My time with omegasphere is almost over and I need a new direction. Working on the game has been helpful and cathartic, but I need to focus on the future and I love fashion design. And I’ve run my own business before. I know both sides of the industry.

Chloe: I can vouch for that.

Chelsea: I mean, wouldn’t it be cool? Wouldn’t it be great? This company that’s already established, already so big, they already have funding. They already have support.

Billy: So? Go for it.

Chloe: It would be a great new challenge for you.

Chelsea: I think you’re right. I think I have to do it. Well, I– I just have to run it by the boss first.

Chloe: Ah. Connor.

Chelsea: Yeah. We thought he was bouncing back. He was acting like his old self again and now he’s just shut down. I think he had gotten really used to the idea of having a baby sister. But maybe my exciting new job news will help break him out of his shell.

Diane: Hi. Uh, there’s cinnamon rolls in the kitchen, if you’re tempted.

Billy: Uh, I am fine. Thank you. They’re literally buttering us up with buttery pastries. This is not gonna be good.

Traci: No

.Diane: Nothing sinister. We just thought we’d save time if met face-to-face.

*******************

Adam: Yeah, and I want to fold it into my new enterprise: Adustus international.

Sharon: Hm. Interesting.

Adam: What is?

Sharon: Like you said, business and baking, totally different things. If you wanna make bread, for instance, you take your time. You wait and let your ingredients rest. You let them show you what they’re capable of. You care about every detail and you understand how every essential ingredient goes into making the final outcome. Wow, I just thought of that just now.

Adam: That is very fascinating. Well, thank you for the baking lesson.

Ashley: Stop it! You’re the worst.

Tucker: Yeah. And the best thing that ever happened to you.

Ashley: No. Vice versa.

Tucker: All right. We’ll call it a draw. There it is.

Ashley: All right. Let’s call it a draw.

Diane: Ugh! Oh, for the love of god, get a room.

**”*******************

Ashley: What are you doing here, Diane?

Tucker: Yeah, Diane. What are you doing here? Don’t you have a job?

Ashley: Yeah. Shouldn’t you be at jabot exploiting your position and the title that you definitely don’t deserve as you slowly grind away at my father’s company?

Tucker: Ooh, I love it when you use the word grind.

Diane: Ugh! You two are ridiculous.

Sally: Hot sauce! You do love me.

Nick: Yes. I know how you get when you run out, so I brought you a few others to try.

Sally: Oh, do not get between a girl and her scoville units. “Made with devil’s tongue and habanero peppers.” Yeah, baby. You’re awesome. Thank you.

Nick: You’re welcome. So, how was your meeting with chloe?

Sally: It was actually really uplifting.

Nick: Yeah?

Sally: Yeah. We talked about desks. And work ergonomics. And I totally got out of my head space for a change, it was really great.

***********************

Ashley: Okay, I wanna see angry jack again. You’re upset with your sister. Do it again. For her.

Tucker: This is an outrage! Have you no shame? How could you think of doing this to us? To me! Your brother.

Ashley: Okay. Okay, you are weirdly good at this. It’s– it’s a little disturbing.

Tucker: I don’t know. I think it needs a little work.

Chelsea: Well, thanks for breakfast. This is a nice change of pace from my usual at crimson lights.

Billy: But you’d like a change of surroundings, you know. It’s not as easy to do dinner with you wanting to spend as much time as possible with connor, but now that he’s at sports camp, I’ll get you to myself.

Chelsea: Yeah, and I get to have fancy waffles guilt-free.

********************

Summer: Chelsea. I am glad to see you. You’re actually on my to-do list for today.

Billy: So much for a quiet breakfast. Aren’t you in high demand?

Chelsea: Well, I– I can’t imagine why I’d be on your checklist.

Summer: Well, I wanted to follow up on my brilliant idea from a few months ago for you to come and work with me at Marchetti. The timing couldn’t be better.

Daniel: Hold on. Are you trying to poach my star employee? Are you stealing talent from your own brother?

Audra: Thank you so much. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That really was the head of Crawford Pictures. I just signed an exclusive deal with them for Newman media.

Lily: Really?

Audra: It’s all right. You can say it. It’s okay to be impressed.

Lily: Oh, no. [ Laughing ] No, no, I’m not impressed. I’m just surprised that nate would hand off such an important deal for you to seal. I mean, he was so desperate to be in charge.

Audra: I guess you haven’t heard the good news yet. I’m running newman media now.

********************

Lily: Well, I mean, I knew you were a shark, but I didn’t think that you would turn your back on Nate so quickly. I mean, especially after he took such a huge risk hiring you. So, how did you pull it off this time?

Audra: Well, this wasn’t some kind of backstabbing move. I scored the promotion completely on my own merit.

[ Lily scoffing ]

Lily: I find that really hard to believe.

Audra: Of course you think the worst of me.

Lily: Oh, Nate, hello. Perfect timing. I just heard about how your coo has sunk her fangs into your job. That’s what you get when you swim with sharks, so.

Nate: I’m not sure you have the whole story here.

Audra: Yeah, she didn’t even give me a chance to explain. She couldn’t wait to go on the attack

Nate: The risk is undeniable, the downside is very real, but why not be ahead of the pack?

Victoria: Yes. Big. Bold. No limits. No safety nets. Have I told you lately how much I like the way you think? It’s like talking to myself, but it’s much more fun.

[ Both laughing ] Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you take the babcock meeting this afternoon? The cfo can be a little, you know, hard-headed, but I’m sure it’s something you can handle. You could also head up the marketing team status conference? I think they could definitely use some fresh ideas in there.

[ Laughs ] What?

Nate: Those are very high profile.

Victoria: You’re onboard as the interim coo. I don’t see why that would be particularly unusual.

Nate: But we both know how a lot of people feel about me stepping in for nick. And me sitting in your chair. You’re making a hell of a statement with this move.

Victoria: I know. And I don’t care.

******************”**”***

Adam: Thank you for the condolences, but given your husband’s feelings for sally, you’ll understand if your sympathies feel a bit disingenuous.

Nikki: Adam, I am speaking to you as a fellow parent who has experienced loss. And it is unimaginable. The emptiness is overwhelming. Your vision of your future with your child has been taken from you.

Adam: Taken from me? No, no. Ask sally. This was my choice. Our little girl is dead because of me.

Nikki: That is not true.

Adam: Well, it is to sally and she hates me for it. I mean, our little girl didn’t even get to take a breath because of me.

Nikki: Adam, it was an impossible choice.

Adam: But, I mean, you can’t be surprised that I screwed up, right? ‘Cause I’m no hero, I’m not like Nicholas.

Nikki: You saved her life.

Adam: Well, apparently, that doesn’t count.

Nikki: Yes, of course it does. And thank god you did.

Adam: God? God doesn’t factor into this equation because any god who makes someone choose between mother and child isn’t a god that I believe in.

Nikki: You’re angry and that’s understandable, but you cannot let it consume you.

Adam: I don’t know. It seems to be my comfort zone these days. But, nikki, if you will excuse me.

Nikki: Adam, listen. Listen. You have a bright, wonderful son who needs you and you have people who care about you. I hope you can hold onto that.
