Victoria: Adam. Listen. Um, I really appreciate you coming by to give your decision in person. But, you know, there’s really no reason to belabor this. Thank you for everything that you did for Newman Media, and we promise to take very good care of it from here. And good luck in your future endeavor.

Adam: Wow, you are very sure of yourself.

Victoria: That’s because you and I both know that this is the only answer that makes any sense.

Adam: Then call me crazy, but I’m not moving on to another job. I’m gonna stay with the company once the sale goes through.

Victoria: Is that right?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: Hm.

Adam: I’m a team player, and I didn’t want to dump such an important piece of family legacy in your lap when you already have so much on your plate.

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

Nick: So, where did this interest in business come from, because I had not heard this before.

Faith: I really liked the econ class that I took, and i have some great role models in our family. I really look up to aunt Victoria, Summer, and grandma. Mom, too — she’s worked in the business world before, not to mention running this place. So, maybe I inherited the gene.

Nick: Your mother is definitely inspirational. And I have every “faith” in you, too. See what I did there?

Faith: Ugh! Dad!

Nick: Look, kid. You know I’m your biggest fan. I think you’re so smart and driven, and I believe you can do whatever you want in this world, including business, if that’s what you decide to pursue.

Faith: Thank you. And I’m not saying for sure i want to do this yet, but I do like the idea. So, I at least want to explore it.

Nick: Yeah, well, the good news is, you don’t have to decide right now, right? You can try all kinds of things and then make a choice when it feels right.

Adam: What do you mean Newman/Locke is buying Newman media?

Victoria: Well, I really don’t think I can say it any more clearly than you just did. Which part of it did you not understand?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] I knew that there was an offer, but this seems abrupt.

Victoria: Well, dad summoned me to the ranch. He accepted our offer. We shook on it. The deal is done. You know, he didn’t even really drive that hard of a bargain. I wonder why he didn’t tell you. Oh, well. Look on the bright side. At least now you don’t have to worry about me suing you for the name Newman Media because I own it. I’m the Newman in charge.

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

Faith: Rey, tell my mom how important it is that I visit colleges before I apply.

Rey: Well, I will be honest, I went to the Police Academy and Lola went to culinary school, so not really an expert.

Faith: Mom, practically everyone in my class is visiting campuses with their parents.

Sharon: Then, yes, we can go. It’ll be fun.

Faith: Thanks so much, mom.

Sharon: But I also still want you to consider GCU. You know, I had really wonderful professors there when I was getting my therapy credentials.

Rey: In other words, she wants to keep you close to home.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] Isn’t college supposed to be the time that I finally spread my wings, figure out who I am and what I want to do with my life?

Sharon: Yes. I just think that you can do all those things while still staying in the same zip code.

Mariah: That is a great concept, Noah. Thank you for helping us brainstorm. And you probably saved us from some “pin the bridal bouquets on the donkey” games.

Sharon: Hey, that’s a really fun game.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Well, if you have any other artistic ideas, we’d be appreciative, because we have got a whole wedding to plan, and I’m only so creative

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

Lily: Hi. I’m your Auntie Lily. I’m sorry I woke you up. I didn’t know you were all snuggly in your little bed.

Devon: He was.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I just came to talk to your… what do I call you, dad? Pops?

Devon: You can take it easy on that. No, it’s… I do wish that Dominic would’ve been able to meet his grandpa Neil, now that he legally has the Winters name.

Lily: Yeah. Well, I’m sure mom and dad are looking down at us, smiling.

Victoria: Again, what makes you think that?

Billy: Because I can see it in you. You get that look in your eye when you get all pumped up about a big deal.

Victoria: Oh, please. I run a major conglomerate. We have several deals on the table at any given moment.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, but I doubt any of those deals are gonna give you the same thrill as kicking your brother to the
curb.

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

Adam: [ Clears throat ] It just — it sure feels like you’re trying to send me a message, and, I mean, is t
his you expressing your disapproval with me?

Victor: I got to be honest with you. I was rather disappointed when you didn’t see through Billy Abbott’s pitiful attack on our company. Took Victoria to step in and stop him.

Adam: Okay, I had no intention of publishing anything about Billy.

Victor: This is water under the bridge, son. This discussion is not related to that. This is about business.

Adam: Then what is your problem with me? Huh?

[ Scoffs ] I mean, after everything that I did to make our launch go smoothly. I successfully established the fashion platform. I negotiated this collaboration deal with Nicholas and New Hope. Not to mention all the advertising dollars that i brought in. I mean, every goal was hit at every level.

Victor: I agree with you. That is why your sister will make us a substantial offer.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

[ Stammers ] Oh, I guess Nicholas was right. No good deed goes unpunished in this family.

Victor: This has nothing to do with punishment.

Phyllis: You’re lovely. Ohh. Amanda, you’re my only friend here. You are. You’re my only friend. Michael and Lauren, that’s it.

Amanda: Phyllis, I think that you are purposely leaving out a few people.

Phyllis: Who? Who am I leaving out?

Amanda: I don’t know, Jack? Nick?

Phyllis: They’re not friends. They’re my ex-husbands.

[ Laughs ] I mean, Nick has made it clear he doesn’t want to be a pal. And then Jack, he’s not even — he’s not even talking to me.

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

Adam: You do realize that our father, Victor Newman, is the primary financial backer of Newman Media, right? And last time that I checked, my last name is Newman, as well.

Victoria: Yes, I’m aware of that. But we probably shouldn’t be discussing this right now. Why don’t you have your lawyer call my lawyer? I mean, surely you’ve dealt with enough legal issues in your life to know that’s how it works.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, I wanted to hear whatever absurd explanation there was for this lawsuit from the horse’s mouth.

Victoria: Oh, okay. Well, since you’re here, I might as well lay it out for you. The media division at Newman Enterprises existed long before you even knew you shared our last name.

Adam: Oh, you’re talking about the division that you sold.

Victoria: The one that we’re buying back. Ashland and I have decided that we are gonna rename ChanceCom Newman Media. I mean, the name only makes sense now that we’re bringing the division back into the Newman fold. Come on, it would be problematic having two Newman Medias out there operating in the world, don’t you think?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I think you’ve gone insane.

Sally: I’m back. Did you miss me? I’m totally energized by my trip from New York.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Sally: Super productive and super fun, but it would’ve been even better if you had joined me.

Adam: Come on in.

Sally: So I was going to get you a souvenir like an Empire State Building snow globe or a Statue of Liberty keychain, but I decided that you didn’t deserve it. You need to come with me next time and buy your own trinkets, but if you do come with me, nothing romantic. Got it, bucko?

Adam: I’ll try to restrain myself. So trip was productive?

Sally: Very.

Adam: Well, that’s good. I would hate to spend money on frivolous business trips.

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

Rey: What’s so funny?

Sharon: Mariah. She’s sending me ideas for venues for her wedding.

Rey: That’s funny?

Sharon: Well, because it’s Mariah.

Rey: Of course.

Sharon: So far, she has suggested a recording studio, the old GC Buzz Studio, and a tattoo parlor.

Rey: She and Tessa want to get inked while they’re reciting their vows?

Sharon: I think she’s joking, but I can’t be sure.

Rey: Mm, because it’s Mariah.

Sharon: Well, all of those places do represent moments in their love story, so I wouldn’t put it past them, but I just hope they don’t make this decision quickly or take it lightly because I want them to have the wedding of their dreams

Mariah: Ooh! Nothing like coming downstairs in the morning, having a cup of coffee waiting for you.

Noah: Well, I hope you had up at your place because this one is for dad.

Mariah: Rude.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: So, you’re already buttering up the boss. Please tell me you accepted Nick’s job offer.

Noah: I did.

Mariah: Yay! So you’re less of a flight risk now.

Noah: I’m not sure I like those criminal connotations, Miss.

Mariah: You know what i meant. I know that you said that you were planning on staying and you’ve been here for a while now, but I got the sense that you didn’t want to be tied down, but now you’ve made a commitment.

Noah: Well, it’s a commitment to see how things go. So, how about you? You seemed kind of stressed out last night. Is everything okay with you and Tessa?

Mariah: Yeah, everything’s amazing. It’s better than it’s ever been. Um, I just have a couple of friends going through a tough time. And I see both sides of the situation. But there’s nothing I can do. So I just have to sit back, hold my breath, and hope everything works out for the best

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

Amanda: But she is holding her own. She has so many contacts from working with the family.

Elena: Ah. So that means a lot of people in politics, right?

Amanda: Yes, and she has not been shy about reaching out and, um, getting in touch.

Elena: Really? Shocking. She’s always been so timid and self-effacing.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] She did give me an earful about her last encounter with you and Nate.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Surprisingly enough, she didn’t seem as happy as everyone else about us living together.

Amanda: So, how is Nate?

Elena: Who’s asking — you or your sister?

Amanda: Both, maybe.

Elena: [ Laughs ] He’s fine. I mean, honestly, he’s wonderful. He’s a great housemate. And you can feel free to tell your sister that we went with the beige bathroom rug. She’ll know what I’m talking about.

Amanda: Okay. Well, cheers to you both.

Noah: It had become so unorganic. There was no joy in it. I had no spark, and it wasn’t until I came back here and started working on Tessa’s album cover that it finally came back. Anyways, I’m gonna get back to my art, doing it for myself, but first, I feel like I need a reset, and I think being a part of what my dad’s created is a step in the right direction. And now that I have a better understanding of what New Hope’s all about, I admire this guy even more. You know, he gets up every day and actually improves people’s lives. He doesn’t brag about it. He doesn’t have a pr firm. He doesn’t just say he’s gonna give back to the community. He just gets out there and does it.

Nick: Okay, that’s — that’s more than enough.

Noah: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Besides, what could be better than working with my old man?

Victor: Not a thing, son. Not a thing.

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

Lauren: …Is Victor himself. The man thrives on chaos.

Michael: No, the man is a business genius who simply wants to secure his legacy.

Lauren: Oh, honey. He does not want to hire a man of your caliber so he can ride peacefully off into the sunset. He needs a legal ninja who can kick ass and take names and move along his agenda.

Michael: He did say things were about to get interesting.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] See? I knew it.

Michael: No, I’ll be doing exciting work that will get my blood going. That’s a definite plus in my book.

Lauren: Right, in the shark-infested waters of the Newman corporate world and the accompanying family drama.

Michael: [ Clears throat ] Which would make for some rather pleasant pillow talk.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] You are very sexy when your blood is boiling.

Billy: I wanted to personally thank you for that text message that you sent to lily congratulating her on her new position at Chancellor Industries.

Adam: Yeah. I understand that there’s another round of kudos I should bestow. Heard you were just named COO.

Billy: That is correct, yes. I didn’t get a text message from you.

Adam: Mm.

Billy: Seriously, though, thank you very much for reaching out to Lily in that way. It’s appreciated. You can’t imagine how surprised I was when I heard you did so.

Adam: Oh, I’m sure I can.

Billy: No. Trust me. You can’t.

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

Billy: Welcome to your new office, madam CEO.

Lily: Thank you. Same office I had when I was running ChanceCom.

Billy: Yeah, that’s true. It’s a little bit different, you know. Thanks to Nick and my wheeling, dealing mother, you now have the entire building, not just this floor.

Lily: I know. Well, it’s nice. I kind of like it. Nice to have something familiar when there’s been so many changes.

[ Gasps ] Aww. Flowers and liquor?

Billy: Don’t look at me.

Lily: No? Oh, it’s from Jill congratulating us on our first day. The scotch is for you, of course.

Billy: Well, she knows me well.

Lily: “I believe in you both and know that you will accomplish great things. Now go kick some ass. Jill.”

Billy: That’s my mother for you. We better listen to the lady and enjoy this last moment of peace we will have in these hallowed halls.

Lily: Very sweet. It is weird, though, coming back to an old office to start a new job, right?

Billy: Yeah. It’s like returning to the scene of a crime.

Lily: Well, I got to say, we did some great things here.

Billy: And in the copy room. Do not forget the copy room.

Lily: No, I could never forget the copy room.

Rey: Ooh! We should do that more often.

Sharon: Yes, absolutely. Thank you for braving the museum with me.

Rey: Are you kidding? I loved it. Besides, I figured I should learn more about art since noah’s living here now. Although none of those paintings were as beautiful as you are.

Sharon: Aww.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Oh, hey, Nick.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: What are you doing here?

Nick: You guys look like you’re in a pretty good mood.

Rey: We are.

Sharon: Having some French food, walking through a museum — it can do wonders for your mind-set.

Nick: Well, don’t mind me. I’m just sitting here minding my own business, waiting for Noah.

Sharon: Oh. What are you two meeting about? The job offer?

Nick: Hey.

Noah: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, great. Now both of you can fill us in.

Noah: On what?

Sharon: On what you’re meeting with your dad about.

Noah: Well, first off, nosy. Secondly, I think I need to talk to dad in private for a sec.

Sharon: Okay. No problem.

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

what’s going down out there.

Sharon: Nope. I already know. Noah accepted Nick’s offer.

Rey: You could hear that from in here?

Sharon: I can tell by the look on Noah’s face. I’m happy he and Nick are bonding like that. It means that Noah’s gonna stick around, hopefully for a very long time. It just feels like life is exactly the way that it should be.

Lily: Ah, this is exactly what I needed.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: I’ve just been throwing myself into work so much trying to get ready for the big day, i didn’t realize how tense I was.

Billy: Well, I’m glad I could help you relax.

Lily: So, now can I ask questions?

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

Billy: Well, first and foremost, I apologized, and i also confessed about my ill-fated plan to get back at victor and Adam for everything they did to us. I was also very clear that my change of heart came because of your guidance, and she was very grateful for that. She honestly believes that you are my guardian angel.

Lily: Well, I appreciate the credit, but I do think that you’re underselling the strength it took to turn the other cheek to the Newmans.

Billy: Mm.

Lily: So, just tell me — did your mom accept your apology?

Billy: My mother and I making up usually involves a bone-crushing hug while she calls me an idiot. So, by that definition… yeah, we healed.

Lily: So, are you coming to Chancellor as COO?

Billy: Yes.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: I am your COO, with, of course, my mother’s blessing.

Lily: Ooh, good, I’m so glad!

Rey: What’s a nice lady like you doing in a place like this?

Sharon: What makes you think I’m nice?

Rey: Well, I just assumed you were. Are you saying you aren’t?

Sharon: I have my moments.

Rey: Really? Well, I’m interested in hearing all about them. In fact, I’m interested in all of you.

Sharon: Well, thank you. I’m really flattered, but, sorry, I’m off the market. I’m happily married.

Rey: Is that right?

Sharon: 100%. But I will give you this to remember me by.

Rey: I’m glad I found you. Not just because of that, because that was — mmm! — Spectacular, but I have a proposal.

Sharon: Does that mean you’re propositioning me?

Rey: Yeah, I guess I am. And my proposition is –

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

Sharon: [ Sighs ] You have the patience of a saint.

Rey: Saint Rey. Yeah, that’s — that’s got a ring to it.

Sharon: I’ve been wanting to hear what you have to say to me. I promise I won’t let anyone or anything interrupt us.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. That’s — that’s kind of what i wanted to talk to you about.

Sharon: What do you mean?

Rey: I would like to spend some quality time alone with my wife. I want to take you out. I want to wine and dine you. I want to stare into those beautiful eyes and tell you how wonderful you are.

Sharon: Well, that sounds really nice. What did you have in mind?

Rey: Well, I was thinking we could go to that French bistro you’ve been talking about.

Sharon: Trs magnifique!

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Then we could check out the new exhibit at the museum.

Sharon: I have wanted to do that.

Rey: I know. I listen.

Sharon: You do, don’t you? Okay, well, that sounds nice. When did you want to go on this date?

Rey: I want to go right now. Let’s go.

Sharon: Oh. Okay. Let me just wrap up a few things in the office first, and then we can leave for our…

Rey: Perfect.

Sharon: …Special quality time alone together.

Rey: And I will be right here waiting with great anticipation.

Sharon: You’re the best. You know that

Ashland: You look happy.

Victoria: That is because today is the greatest day.

Ashland: Well, you care to elaborate?

Victoria: That was Jill. She wants to hammer out the details for the sale of ChanceCom to us. So, for now, it looks like we’ve won.

Ashland: Now, are you smiling because it’s a valuable asset or because you beat your father and brother?

Victoria: A little from column “A” and a little from column “B.” But I am very glad to have Newman’s old division back into the fold of Newman/Locke.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Victor and Adam must be seething.

Victoria: Maybe, maybe, but I talked to my father, and I got the feeling that he was okay with it. Adam, on the other hand, is gonna be screaming bloody murder.

Ashland: And you will love that.

Victoria: Yes, I’m here for it, especially because if I get my way, ChanceCom is not the only company that Adam’s gonna lose.

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

Chloe: You said that you were learning something from her.

Sally: Yeah, how to swallow my pride and fake a pleasant demeanor.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] So we’re back to square one. I wanted you to develop a real working relationship with Chelsea.

Sally: Okay, relax. I’m kidding, alright? But the other side of gaining Chelsea’s trust is convincing her that I am not interested in Adam and that I am not threatened at all by her desire to get back together with him. So running out of here would be the wrong move entirely. I just need to stay put and maintain an air of calm and disinterest.

Nick: Okay, you guys got me. I was not expecting this.

Noah: Well, we wanted to do something for your birthday on your birthday, but you took off to Milan, so we decided to do it now.

Mariah: And we couldn’t let Summer be the only one to celebrate you.

Sharon: And Rey had to work tonight, but he says the next round of beers is on him.

Nick: Well, I’m touched that you all went to this trouble.

Faith: That’s what family’s for.

Nick: Thanks, kiddo. Moses, Tessa, my kids are obligated to be here, you know, but you two chose to be here, and that means a lot.

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

Faith: Don’t stress, dad. We all came here tonight to celebrate you because we all love you and think you’re the best dad in the whole world. Not to say you can’t be overprotective at times. I feel sorry for anyone who’s ever hurt my feelings, teased me, or looked at me weird. We all remember Danny Obermeyer.

Moses: Wait, who’s he? Like, an ex-boyfriend or something?

Faith: He was a second-grader that tripped me during a soccer game. He got the “Newman death glare,” and I don’t think he’s ever been the same.

Moses: Wait, what’s the “Newman death glare”?

Nick: It’S…nothing. They’re exaggerating. It’s just a minor look of disapproval. You’ve never seen it. Don’t worry about it.

Noah: Yeah, you better hope you never do.

Mariah: I mean, maybe you should give him a taste, just in case he ever steps out of bounds.

Nick: Nah, it’s not gonna be necessary.

Tessa: I mean, I’d like to see it.

Mariah: Come on.

Tessa: It’s like you’re looking through me.
