Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Alright, now that it’s had some time to sink in, how you feeling about summer and kyle staying in milan?

Phyllis: Our daughter was doing great here. She was happy.

[ Sighs ] She was running jcv. She was successful. They were building their house, planning their wedding. I just don’t understand. I don’t get it, why she would want to stay in italy. I don’t understand why she wouldn’t want to come home.

Nick: I mean, summer’s young. She’s always had a sense of adventure.

Phyllis: Yeah, but this wasn’t an adventure. She was forced out by sally and tara because one wanted her man and the other one wanted her job.

Nick: Look, you came to our daughter’s rescue. You gave summer and kyle their futures back. It is an incredible gift. You want to know what else you gave summer? You lifted this threat that she was under and gave her her life back, so she can make her own decisions, and she’s doing that.

Phyllis: Yeah. You’re right. I did that.

[ Exhales sharply ] I saw lauren fire sally. And so I called summer and i told her — I told her that she had her job back. She wanted to stay in italy. You know, our daughter, she’s thousands of miles away.

Nick: I’m sorry this is so hard for you.

Phyllis: It’s just really difficult. I can’t imagine how jack feels. I mean, one minute he’s running jabot with kyle. That’s his dream, you know? Just like he did with his dad.

Nick: Kyle’s not quitting. He’s just relocating.

Phyllis: Yeah, but in italy. I mean, it’s not the same.

Nick: You got to let them work it out, you know? You’ve been an incredible friend to jack, and sally is the worst kind of trouble-maker. And thank god you exposed all her manipulations. Jack’s a big boy. You don’t have to appoint yourself champion in every circumstance.

Phyllis: I’m not doing that. I’m definitely not doing that. I just feel bad for him. It’s all — I feel bad for him. He’s my friend, and he’s had a really bad year. His mom died. His nephew was suing him. Now kyle’s gone. All that stuff with sally. And then with harrison, he loves harrison so much. I mean, if harrison goes off to italy, jack will be lost.

Jack: Hey! I hope you had a great nap. Aunt traci told me you had a great time at the children’s museum. So I have news for you. Your father is back in town, and he would like to visit you in a little bit. How’s that sound? Good?

Harrison: Yes.

Jack: I thought you’d like that. Listen, before he gets here, I was thinking maybe we could go over to the park, play some catch? You up to that? Okay. Well, you’re gonna be a very popular guy here for a while. I’m gonna squeeze in every minute with you I possibly can. Why don’t you go get your ball and your mitt, and we’ll head to the park?

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: My goodness. You’ve taken my breath away.

Victoria: Oh, I know, that was my reaction, too, when I saw this engagement ring. Ashland surprised me with it earlier.

Nikki: Well, it’s lovely, but that’s not what I was referring to, as you well know.

Victor: Ashland, what’s the point of all this?

Victoria: You don’t have to answer that.

Ashland: No, it’s a fair question, given that everything’s happened so quickly. After all, the last we all got together, I had barely begun divorce proceedings.

Nikki: Indeed.

Ashland: And now that’s all been finalized, and your daughter and I are planning a wedding. A big, splashy one, at that.

Victor: Why now?

Ashland: It’s simple. We’re both making up for lost time. Both the time we missed out on by not meeting each other sooner and a long future that we may not experience together.

Victoria: That’s our other piece of news. Ashland has changed his mind. He’s gonna — he’s gonna fight his illness. He starts treatment very soon.

Nikki: Oh, that’s an option you’ve resisted.

Ashland: The odds of success aren’t that high, but even if there’s the slightest chance that I could enjoy a longer life with your daughter and spending a couple more years watching my son grow up, I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Victoria: We’re going into this with our eyes wide open.

Nikki: Well, it’s your decision to make. Nobody else can know what it’s like to be in your shoes.

Victor: Let me put it this way — I’m glad the two of you erefore, that’s what I’ll do because I work —

>>> This is a cbs news special report. I’m dana we’re coming on the air with breaking news. Andrew cuomo, governor of new york is announcing his resignation. Let’s listen in.

Government really needs to function today. Government needs to perform. It is a matter of life and death, government operations. And wasting energy on distractions is the last thing that state government should be doing, and I cannot be the cause of that. New york tough means new york loving, and i love new york, and i love you, and everything i have ever done has been motivated by that love, and i would never want to be unhelpful in any way. I think that, given the circumstances, the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing and, therefore, that’s what I’ll do because I work for you, and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for for you because, as we say, it’s not about me, it’s about we. Kathy hokum, my lieutenant government is smart and competent. This transition must be seamless. We have a lot going on. I’m very worried about the delta variant and so you should be but she can come up to speed quickly and my resignation will be effective in 14 days. So my team — (naming team ). — And the hundreds of dedicated administration officials, I want to say this, thank you. Thank you. And be prouD. We made new york state the progressive capital of the nation. No other state government accomplished more to help people, and that is what it’s all about. Just think about what we did. We passed marriage equality, creating a new civil right, legalized love for the lgbtq community, and generated a force of change that swept the nation. We passed the safe act years ago, the smartest gun safety law in the united states of america, and it banned the madness of assault weapons. We’ve saved countless lives with that law. $15 minimum wage, the highest minimum wage in the nation, lifting millions of families’ standard of living, putting more food on the table and clothes on their backs, and we led the nation in economic justice with that reform. We have managed every emergency mother nature could throw at us — fires, floods, hurricanes, superstorms and pandemics. We balanced the state budget and got it done on time, more than any other administration, because government should work and perform, free college tuition for struggling families. Nobody in this state will be denied their college dream because of their income. We have built new airptsd, rail — airports, rail, transit, roads across the state faster and better than before and, more than any state in the nation, the most of effective green economy program in the nation. We did more for black and latino families than any other administration. We did more for working families, for our union brothers and sisters, we did more to battle racism and antisemitism. Today so much to have the politics is just noise, just static, and that’s why people tune it out. What matters is actually improving people’s lives, and that’s what you did. You made this state a better state for the generations that follow, and that is undeniable, inarguable and true, even in these ugly, crazy times. I thank speaker karl carl heastie and others for their leadership. Let me say this on a personal note — in many ways, i see the world through the eyes of my daughters, kara, mariah and mckayla. They are 26 and 26, twins, and 23. And I have lived this experience with and through them. I have sat on the couch with them, hearing the ugly accusations for weeks. I have seen the look in their eyes and the expression on their faces, and it hurt. I want my three jewels to know this — my greatest goal is for them to have a better future than the generations of women before them. It is still, in many ways, a man’s world, it always has beeN. We have sexism that is culturallized and institutionalized. My daughters have more talent and natural gifts than i ever had. I want to make sure that society allows them to fly as high as their wings will carry theM. There should be no assumptions, no stereotypes, no limitations. I want them to know from the bottom of my heart that i never did and i never would intentionally disrespect a woman or treat any woman differently than I would want them treated, and that is the god’s honest truth. Your dad made mistakes, and he apologized, and he learned from it, and that’s what life is all about. And I know the political process is flawed, and I understand their cynicism and distrust and disappointment now, but don’t give it up because government is still the best vehicle for making positive social change. Lastly, I want to remind all new yorkers of an important lesson and one that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and that’s what you new yorkers did in battling covid. The enemy landed in new york state. Covid launched the attack here. It came on planes from europe, and we had no ideA. It was an ambush, and it was up to new yorkers to fight bacK. We were on our own, and it was war. Numberses, doctors, essential workers became our frontline heroes. Hospitals became the battlegrounds. Streets were still, and sirens filled the city’s silence. Trailers carried the bodies of our fallen brothers and sisters. But you refused to give up, and you fought back, and you won, going from the highest infection rate in the nation to one of the lowest. No one thought we could do it, but you did it. You led the nation, and you showed the way forward. And how you did it is what’s most important. You did it together, not as black new yorkers or white new yorkers, not as lgbtq new yorkers or straight new yorkers or democrats or republicans or upstate or downstate or jewish, muslim, protestant or catholic new yorkers, but as one community, one family, the family of new york. You overcame the naysayers and the haters and the fear and the division, and you unified and you rose and you overcame and you saved lives, and that was powerful in its effect. It was beautiful to see, and it was an honor to leaD. Please remember that lesson. Hold it dear and hold it up high for this nation to see because it is new york state at her finest, creating her legacy, fulfilling her destiny, giving life and animation to the lady in the harbor, saying excelsior! We can be better, we canire, and proclaiming eplur bys onium, out of many one, unity, community, love, that is our founding premise. And our enduring promise. And that is the salvation of this nation that it so desperately needs to hear. Thank you for the honor of serving you. It has been the honor of my lifetime. God bless you.

That was governor andrew cuomo resigning effective in 14 days, his third term as governor. And this comes just one week after the attorney general’s report that he had harassed or tumped inappropriately eleven women based on those allegations and investigation. I want to bring in national correspondent jericka duncan who has been covering this story several months. She spoke with one of the accusers and women in this report. In hearing the governor and hearing his personal attorney before that, it seemed they were laying out a case for the governor, and then that changed.

It did. As you and I have been sitting here listening to the news conference, the headline, after listening to his attorney, was this is the governor fighting back. But the governor said, quote, my instinct is to fight, but in this case, it was different. He said that he loved new york, he loved new yorkers and, by showing his love, he didn’t want to waste the tax dollars, the time and knew it was best, he said, to step aside at this time. But it was very, very interesting, I think so many people, dana, who have been following this weren’t sure how this was going to go because we knew the governor laid out even friday, his attorney, same typical argument about holes in the report, questions they had. How are we supposed to fight and give evidence to the judiciary commity friday when we haven’t seen all the transcripts? So that’s what we heard in the first 45 minutes. Then the governor comes up, he says what he said. Interestingly enough, talked about the good things he’s done for the state, reminded people of the progress that the state has made, but also welcomed lieutenant governor but soon to be governor kathy hokum. Me sources say she is ready to step in. I think people knew this was a possibility. Clearly a reality the governor say he was stepping aside and the first female governor to take the role in new york state history.

Interestingly, he very specifically addressed the troopers’ allegations against her.

He did and maintained that he did not do anything appropriate with the women we spoke to compleestles in reporting with the albany times union, brittany commisso. But he apologized to the family, he apologized to the trooper and that he did not know, he said — he does not recall touching her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable. He does not recall putting the palm of his hand on her stomach as reported in the state attorney general’s report last week.

Ricky cleemen, your reaction to what we heard?

I think this is a sad day for new york state. No matter what, this is a hero who as fallen and his life is forever changed. He is someone who led this state in so many ways, particularly as we have seen in the fight against covid, albeit there are still flaws there. He is someone who championed the rights of women in ways that other politicians have never done, and the irony, the supreme irony, almost shakespearean, is that someone who has made it easier for women to be able to sue for sexual assault, to be able to go all the way back for those who were children who were sexually abused, and he is undone by allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment. I do have to think that we give him much credit for resigning now, for resigning with grace, and for being conscious that this staying in office would be so bad for the state of new york, the people of the state, and for his daughters. I am very moved by his comments, but he has a lot to still face. There is a criminal case that may go forward against him, it may be one, there may be others, and he still has to deal with lawsuits for sexual harassment for a hostile work environment. His crises are not over.

Yeah, he may be stepping down, but, at this point, as you mentioned, there are other issues that he may face. We want to turn to senior white house correspondent ed o’keefe at the white housE. Ed, you have been speaking with lawmakers in albany, what are they sayinG.

Reporter: I spoke with a senator that said the governor was dealing with a biased jury, so this is a sigh of relief in albany. Another member was in tears because it’s been so intense for the state to deal with. Bottom line, he still has a legal fight ahead of him and his lawyer laid out a pretty detailed case to try to defend him in that regard. But the political fight is lower. People said if the 63 member new york state senate would hold a vote to remove the governor they would have done so. The governor understood the political fight was unsurmountable and this is a guy who does not like to lose. The deep-seated hatred or disgust for this governor among legislators, members of both parties, runs deep and the latest allegations were too much for them. They wanted to explore not only these recent allegations but concerns about the book deal he cut last year during the covid 19 outbreak. The concerns about deaths at nursing homes in this states and other issues that had gone over the course of his roughly ten and a half years in office. The other thing to watch for now, jericka mentioned kathy hochul, the lieutenant governor of new york. For the last eight years, she’s traveled the state, visits every 62 counties every year, but is in over her head, they argue, in terms of being able to lead this state. A watch in the next 14 days if the governor does anything to boost her because there’s concern she may not be ready for this. This is just somebody who has not involved because the governor has not allowed her to be involved. That could be an important thing to watch. As rikki said, an important fall for someone who was running for president, a close ally of this president and worked with him on infrastructure during the obama administration and leaving as a major democratic party scar.

The president calling for his resignation last weeK. Thank you very mucH. Our coverage will continue on our streaming network cbsn, your local news and tonight on the “cbs evening news.” This has been a crives special report, I’m dana jacobson in new york.

Nikki: So, how is phyllis handling the news about summer and kyle?

Nick: Honestly, not well. She was kind of blind-sided.

Nikki: Yeah, she probably assumed they’d be moving home.

Nick: Having seen summer over there really seemed to have hit her stride, I had a feeling this might happen. Phyllis didn’T. She’s heartbroken.

Nikki: Well, that’s natural. Mothers want their babies nearby. And she’s been used to seeing summer every day since she’s been staying at the hotel.

Nick: Yeah, she just wanted to be close, you know? To — to be a part of those milestone moments, like a wedding, maybe some grandkids one day.

Nikki: I’m gonna need a moment to sit with that. I mean, I understand that. It’s bound to happen one of these days. It’s just very strange to think of you as a grandfather.

Nick: Yeah. And that would make you —

Nikki: No, no, no. Not talking about that.

Nick: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Nikki: Anyway, I’m sure that phyllis will come around. I mean, she has to understand what an incredible opportunity this job is for summer.

Nick: She just needs some time to adjust, you know? Daniel’s in georgia, and noah’s in london. We got used to it.

Nikki: Yeah, eventually.

Nick: Eventually is right. Alright, I got to go. I’m gonna go and give christian a big hug.

Nikki: Give him an extra squeeze from me, will you?

Nick: Will do. Love you, ma.

Nikki: Love you.

Adam: Chloe just likes to mouth off. Makes her feel like less of a sell-out.

Victor: Son, I’m telling you, she’s dangerous. She shouldn’t be around here at all.

Adam: We both want connor here full-time, right? That means I have to find a way to keep chelsea here, too. Happy, occupied, and most importantly, out of trouble. So hiring her is a strategic move.

Victor: Trust me when I tell you, she will be distracting.

Adam: Don’t worry. My focus is where it should be — on newman media, turning it into a powerhouse, trying to take advantage of our competitors’ weaknesses.

Victor: I hope by that you’re talking about chanccomm, not newman/locke.

Adam: You made it clear that victoria and the family business are off limits.

Victor: And I mean it. Okay? This is an opportunity for you to improve your relationship with your sister, as you have mended fences with your brother nicholas.

Adam: Well, that’s gonna be easier for me than it will be for her. Victoria’s hostility runs pretty deep. Maybe you ought to have that conversation with her.

Victor: I am not gonna talk to her. She has so much on her plate right now. I’m not gonna bother her with it. I’m expecting you and your brother to be supportive of your sister.

Adam: Understood.

Chloe: Sorry, I’m late.

Kevin: No worries. I ordered your favorite.

Chloe: Oh, you’re my hero.

Kevin: How’s your day so far?

Chloe: Not going by fast enough.

Kevin: Adam being difficult?

Chloe: Just the opposite. He is so calm and cooperative, it’s unnerving. It’s like he’s this spider weaving this big, gorgeous web just to trap me in it. Or maybe I’m already trapped and I don’t know it yet.

Kevin: If I had my way…

Chloe: I wouldn’t have taken the job, I know.

Kevin: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don’t think you’re his intended target. You’re the bait meant to lure chelsea back under his control.

Chloe: Well, I don’t like the idea of that, but, I mean, what other options does she have? Who’s gonna take a chance on her at this point?

Kevin: Does chelsea even want to go back to work? I thought she was still hanging with her mom in minnesota.

Chloe: It might take a while for her to get back into a creative head space. I mean, she’s recovering from a lot of emotional trauma, which is unfortunate, since it turns out creating a fashion platform by yourself is a lot less fun. Oh, my god.

Kevin: What?

Chloe: That’s sally spectra.

Phyllis: Sally spectra — oh, trust me, you don’t want to get involved with that one.

Kevin: Who is this person and why are you asking us to avoid her?

Phyllis: You were so kind warning me not to get involved in your mother’s blackmail scheme, so I am returning the favor. Okay? Um, trust me, you’ll thank me. And if you don’t believe me, just ask lauren.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] My hygienist cleans with a round head.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Kevin: Who is this person phyllis apparently hates, and what does she have to do with lauren?

Chloe: Sally works at fenmore’S. She used to be a fashion designer in la — a damn good one, actually. She took over at jcv when summer newman moved to italy.

Kevin: Why would lauren give her a high-powered job if she didn’t like her?

Chloe: I don’t even know what phyllis is talking about because every time that lauren has mentioned sally to me, she’s had nothing but great things to say. I’m gonna go introduce myself.

Kevin: Da-da-da. Hang on. Hang on. Phyllis just compared this woman to gloria. What does that tell you?

Chloe: That phyllis is all about drama? You’re more than welcome to join me. You can keep an eye out for red flags.

Kevin: I have to get back to the station, but will you be careful?

Chloe: Aren’t I always?

Kevin: No.

Chloe: Hi. I am a fan of your work. I just wanted to introduce myself.

Sally: I saw you on the patio talking to phyllis, so obviously you’re friends. Did you come over here to give me a hard time?

Ashland: You know, now that I’m settled in at victoria’s house, I’d love for you to come and spend the night with us. We have a room for you if you want it. And guess who else might be there sometimes — your cousins johnny and katie. I think we should all get together and have some pizza, play some games, huh? Does that sound good? We’ll make that happen.

Jack: Sorry to interrupt. Mrs. Martinez asked me to tell you she has a fresh tray of cookies coming out of the oven.

Ashland: Well, you better get some while they’re warm, buddy. I’ll see you soon. I love you, son.

Harrison: I love you, father.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Go get some cookies.

Jack: Mrs. Martinez is waiting for you.

Ashland: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Hey, I didn’t mean to cut your time off. I —

Ashland: No, no, no, no. It’s fine. I’m glad we have a moment to — I wanted to let you know that my oncology specialist has arranged for me to start chemo. First infusion’s tomorrow at memorial.

Jack: Well, I wish you luck with that.

Ashland: Thank you. Probably going to need it. And I think it’s probably best that harrison continues to stay with you while I see how i tolerate the treatment.

Jack: He’s always welcome here. We’re happy to have him.

Ashland: Appreciate that, jack. And I owe so much credit to you and kyle for providing him with stability that he’s needed over these past few months.

Jack: It has been our pleasure.

Ashland: Why don’t you have your son get in touch with me when he gets back from europe, and we can talk about visitation schedule.

Jack: About that — I’m afraid kyle is not coming back.

Victor: Well, I hope I’m not intruding.

Victoria: No, not at all. I just didn’t expect to see you again so soon.

Victor: Yeah. Well, I heard ashland say something about visiting harrison, so I thought I’d catch you alone, you know?

Victoria: Do you have something that you want to say that you didn’t want ashland to hear?

Victor: No, no, no, no, no. I just want you to be able to speak freely. Are you still alright about your decision to become engaged to ashland? Feeling stressed in your skin?

Chloe: I used to work with phyllis — for about five minutes. I would not say that we’re friends. And, yes, she did mention that you two are not on the best of terms, but that’s neither here nor there. I just want to introduce myself because we’re actually in the same industry.

Sally: We are?

Chloe: I have a background as a stylist, designer, and editor, and now I’m launching a new fashion platform for newman media.

Sally: Wow. Sorry, I really didn’t mean to jump to conclusions. Please forgive me. Phyllis took a dig at me earlier, and it put me on edge. But never mind that. You were starting to introduce yourself.

Chloe: I’m chloe mitchell.

Sally: It is really nice to meet you, chloe. So, tell me more about this platform.

Chloe: Oh, well, I’m hoping to recruit chelsea lawson. We teamed up before when she was designing at jabot.

Sally: Yeah, I know her work. She’s a major talent.

Chloe: And I’m sure you know about her recent breakdown, since it’s all over the news.

Sally: Yeah, I hope she’s doing well.

Chloe: She’s resilient and incredibly strong. I have no doubt that she will make a full recovery soon.

Sally: Well, it sounds like you’re a good friend.

Chloe: I think we all deserve second chances.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more.

Victoria: This visit is throwing me a little.

Victor: Why’s that?

Victoria: Well, at lunch, you were behind my engagement to ashland, but now you show up here, you’re questioning my decision.

Victor: No, sweetheart, I’m not. You know that I respect ashland locke, and I don’t say that kind of thing lightly.

Victoria: I’m hearing a “but.”

Victor: You know he’s in a dire situation, my darling. Treatment or no treatment, he has a rough road ahead of him.

Victoria: One that I don’t want him to walk alone.

Victor: So you’re doing this out of pity?

Victoria: No, don’t twist my words. Ashland knows the difference, whether or not you do. If pity were enough for him, if that’s all he wanted, he would have reconciled with his wife because she was willing. Ashland and I are together because we know that’s where we belong for as little or as much time as we have.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Since we last spoke, I’ve had a chance to talk to summer and kyle. She does not want to leave her position with angelina marchetti, and my son does not want to leave his fiancéE.

Ashland: That complicates things.

Jack: Tara put them through quite a lot.

Ashland: Well, I can imagine kyle’s gonna have his work cut out for him making it up to summer. And I know she wasn’t too keen on the idea of helping him raise harrison in the first place.

Jack: No, no, that is not the case. No, that was her cover story to get out of town when tara was pushing her to do so. No, summer and kyle would love to have harrison stay with them in milan, if you would allow it.

Ashland: A few hours ago, you were emphasizing the importance of not uprooting the boy, and now you’re asking me to send him across the ocean to live with a couple of kids who have no experience in parenting?

Jack: I think it is very important that kyle and harrison continue to build the bond between them, especially with tara somewhat out of the picture and you, of course, are going to be focusing all your time and energy on your treatment.

Ashland: I agree, but that’s why I was going to allow kyle visitation. But apparently your son has other priorities.

Kevin: We need to get something straight.

Adam: Just checking my calendar. Nope. You’re not on it.

Kevin: I tried to stay out of this, but I can’t any longer. I’m not gonna let this slide.

Adam: What are you talking about?

Kevin: You’re being too nice to my wife. Why new woolite?

Adam: Well, I can’t remember the last time someone complained about me being nice.

Kevin: I don’t buy this reformed act of yours. Neither does chloe. The more you try and sell it, the more convinced we are that you’re hiding something.

Adam: Well, I mean, that’s understandable, given our history.

Kevin: Really? That’s all you have to say?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, if this is giving you this much anxiety, maybe chloe should go work for somebody else.

Kevin: Trust me, there’s nothing I would like better, but she’s determined to help chelsea rebuild her life.

Adam: That makes two of us.

Kevin: I find that hard to believe after everything chelsea put you through. But hey, whatever. I could care less about what you and chelsea do to each other from here on out. I came here to put you on notice. If chloe gets caught in the crossfire, there will be hell to pay.

Adam: Noted. And for what it’s worth, i admire how protective you are of your family. You know, if I would’ve stood by chelsea with the same devotion, who knows how things might have turned out?

Kevin: They would’ve been screwed no matter what because the real adam always comes out in the end.

Adam: Alright, kevin, I think we’re done.

Kevin: You’ve got a lot of people fooled. Maybe even yourself. But I know who and what you are and always will be. Just a matter of time before that guy shows up again.

Chloe: Your athletic line for forrester — I mean, it was killer.

Sally: Thank you. I’m flattered.

Chloe: And as long as I’m singing your praises, congratulations on your big promotion at jcv. I knew that when lauren hired you as her assistant, it would only be a matter of time before you got moved up.

Sally: Lauren, you know her?

Chloe: The love of my life, kevin fisher, is her husband’s brother.

Sally: Gotcha.

Chloe: A bit convoluted, i guess.

Sally: No, no, no. Not at all. I, um — I love lauren. She did not have to take a chance on me, and she did and i will be forever grateful. She’s just been a fabulous mentor.

Chloe: You know, it’s really funny that we haven’t run into each other until now. Maybe it’s perfect timing.

Sally: Oh?

Chloe: Well, jcv could use some positive press, and my new platform is looking for content, so maybe we could help each other out.

Sally: That would be great.

Phyllis: Hey. Is this a bad time?

Jack: No, no, come on in.

Phyllis: Hello, ashland.

Ashland: Well, phyllis. I understand you had a hand in exposing tara’s machiavellian plot.

Phyllis: Well, I hope you won’t hold it against me.

Ashland: Someone had to do it. We’ll talk later.

Phyllis: Someone had to do it? Did I interrupt something?

Jack: Don’t take this the wrong way, but whenever there’s a problem, you have this habit of wanting to go all in to fix it. Please don’T. I can handle this on my own.

Phyllis: Okay. Nick said the same thing, that you don’t need my help.

Jack: Okay. Well, if that’s so, why are you here?

Phyllis: I need a friend.

Victor: I’m not questioning you. I’m not questioning your decision. I meant what I said about ashland. I have respect for him. And I must say, you’ve finally met a man who’s worthy of you. But I also know you. You’re like your mother. You love deeply. That means you’re setting yourself up for potential heartache. And I’ve been through that with you before. I’ve comforted you before, right?

Victoria: Dad, I’m gonna be alright. No matter what. I don’t want to lose ashland, and if I do, I’m sure that i will be devastated. But at least I won’t have any regrets. Because we won’t have wasted any time, and I plan to make all of our memories very beautiful and meaningful so that when i look back one day, I will just remember how happy we were. Dad, I know I’ve been in love before — I know that — but not like this.

Victor: Okay. Well, then let me do something for you. Ashland mentioned something about a big wedding. So let me plan that for you, with the help of your mother.

Victoria: Why?

Victor: You’re my daughter. I adore you.

Victoria: I don’t know what to say.

Victor: I just want you to know that when I appointed you ceo of newman enterprises, i knew you could handle it. But now there’s this merger, along with it goes enormous responsibility. As if it that wasn’t enough, you now have to see ashland through probably the most difficult phase of his life. Don’t you have enough on your plate?

Victoria: Yes, I do. And weddings, they do take — they take a long time to plan.

Victor: They do. I remember my weddings to your mother.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: They were huge, you know? And I bet yours is gonna be very similar. So why don’t you let me handle it, along with your mother? I won’t do it alone. Do we have a deal?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes. Just call me nancy.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: Everything looks a little different, doesn’t it?

Ashland: I’m not sure what you mean.

Victoria: My house. It now feels like our home, a place that we can build a future together, for however long that turns out to be.

Ashland: Proposing to you was the best thing I’ve ever done. My past is behind me, my divorce is final, and I want to walk into the future, whatever it holds, with you.

Victoria: I still can’t believe tara was arrested. But, um, I’ll support you and harrison however I can.

Nikki: Victoria, darling, are you here? I am sorry for dropping by before you’ve even had a chance to unpack your luggage, but i just wanted to make sure you had heard the news about tara.

Ashland: I got the message from my lawyer when I was flying back.

Nikki: Well, nicholas mentioned it to me. I haven’t seen it in the press yet. But I’m sure very soon the whole world will know that tara was arrested for misappropriation of funds.

Ashland: I thought I was past being surprised by my ex, but i suppose her selfishness knows no bounds, not to mention her sense of self-preservation. I don’t have a doubt that tara will land on her feet, but, uh, all I care about is harrison and what this is doing to him.

Victoria: He’ll be in good hands with jack and kyle.

Nikki: Oh, yes, he will be in as stable a situation as possible under the circumstances. But I don’t know how much he knows about his mother being handcuffed and led from the house by police.

Ashland: Wait, wait. Did he see that happen? I mean, ’cause if he did, I can only imagine how jarring and confusing it would have been. I-I have to go see him right now. Please excuse me, ladies. It’s nice to see you.

Nikki: Oh, you, too.

[ Sighs ] I feel for that little boy.

Victoria: We all do. But we will surround him with love, the abbotts, ashland, and me.

Phyllis: I saved kyle and jack. I saved them from their overly trusting ways. They bought into tara’s whole thing of, “let’s be friends, let’s be family, let’s love each other.”

[ Sighs ] I’m heroic.

Nick: So, cynicism and meddling are your superpowers?

Phyllis: Uh, and being right.

Nick: I got to admit it. You were dead on. I was concerned that you might cross a line and it might come back to bite you in your very attractive backside. But you pulled it off. And I’m glad I was able to help you get to the truth.

Phyllis: You were incredible, too. We’re an unstoppable team when it comes to summer. I wonder what’s next for her.

Nick: You’re wondering what’s going on in milan.

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, I know that when kyle tells her about everything that happened, she’s gonna want to come home, where she belongs.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Hey, tara. I was just following up on our conversation yesterday. I hope everything is alright with you. Please call me back whenever you can.

Lauren: I don’t know. I don’t think she’s gonna be available.

Sally: Well, does she have a meeting with fenmore’s marketing team or something?

Lauren: Tara spent last night behind bars.

Victor: Thank you for coming, amanda. Please have a seat.

Amanda: Thank you.

Victor: So, I was curious about an update on your situation with sutton. And how are you doing?

Amanda: The case against my mother is finally closed, and the D.A. Will be once again pursuing the conspiracy-to-commit-murder charges against them. So I have to thank you again for what you did. You practically got sutton to confess to killing my father, and I never would have been able to do that.

Victor: I’m glad you got the answers you were looking for. But I do have a feeling that you don’t yet have a sense of closure, do you?

Jack: I’m glad you’re back in town.

Ashland: Me too. I head to the east coast for a few days, and all hell breaks loose. I need to see my son, as I heard tara was dragged out of here by the cops.

Jack: Harrison is with his aunt traci at the children’s museum. They should be back right after lunch. And for the record, he doesn’t know anything about his mom.

Ashland: Well, I appreciate you protecting my son. But why was tara planning on taking him out of town in the first place?

Jack: A lot went on with tara that you didn’t know about before the arrest.

Ashland: Well, what else has she done?

Jack: She blackmailed summer, threatened to run away with harrison if summer didn’t leave town.

Ashland: Let me guess. Tara wanted to get the competition out of the way so she could land kyle. Since she’s no longer a locke, she set her sights on becoming an abbott.

Jack: Apparently.

Ashland: Yeah. Well, I tried to warn you from the beginning that the saintly airs that tara likes to put on were a pretense.

Jack: If I may say so, your handling this a lot better than I expected.

Ashland: Well, it’s not a shock because the moment I found out that tara lied about harrison’s paternity, I realized what she was capable of.

Jack: And you’re sure there’s nothing more to it? (Cat 1) friskies world!

Amanda: It meant the world to me to learn that my father knew that I existed and wanted to find me, but it was gut-wrenching to discover my grandfather’s involvement in all of this.

[ Sighs ] I just — I feel like I just found my family, and I am losing them all over again.

Victor: But you still have your mother and your sister.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Amanda: Excuse me. Huh. Speak of the devil. There’s naya now.

Victor: Mm.

Amanda: She wants to meet with me. I am not gonna go. I don’t even know what it would accomplish at this point.

Victor: Perhaps she wants to reach out and apologize.

Amanda: Yeah, and I do sympathize with the position that she’s in. I just don’t want to go another round of her pleading for forgiveness on sutton’s behalf. And I’m not saying that it got hostile. I just… it hurts me to see how misguided she is when it comes to him.

Victor: I understand your reluctance to reach out again, you know? You’ve been on a very, very difficult path. But you have only one mother. Why don’t you give her another chance?

Victoria: I still can’t believe that tara was arrested.

Nikki: Ah, I didn’t see that coming, either.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] She is a real piece of work.

Nikki: Are you worried that that might impact ashland’s divorce?

Victoria: It won’T. The divorce was already finalized in new york.

Nikki: Oh! Well, you must be pleased about that.

Victoria: Well, there’s no reason to be polite about it anymore. I’m thrilled for ashland’s sake. Tara — her betrayal cut him very deeply, and I’m glad that he can move on from this chapter in his life.

Nikki: So that he can start his next chapter with you?

Victoria: It caught us both off guard, but this connection that we feel — it just keeps getting stronger and stronger every day. I mean [Sighs] He’s an amazing man. And the way that he’s fighting this disease, he’s doing it with such grace and showing such strength when he went to new york to wrap up his life there. I have not felt this loved and respected in a long time.

Nikki: I can see that. The joy is positively radiating off you.

Victoria: Well, sometimes love does wonders for a person.

Nikki: Am I missing something?

Victoria: Like what?

Nikki: Did something else happen on your trip with ashland?

Ashland: What are you implying, jack? That I’m not shocked about what happened with tara because i knew she was making a move against summer?

Jack: Did you know?

Ashland: Well, I can see how you could come up to that conclusion, but I assure you there’s no conspiracy here. My only involvement, if you can call it that, was with the woman that you are seeing — sally spectra.

Jack: Wait, what went on between you and sally?

Ashland: She asked if I could make a connection between summer and angelina marchetti. So I reached out to eric forrester, and, uh, sally took it from there. And that’s it. Uh, I have no idea if sally and tara were working together, but it certainly seems as if they had a common goal.

Jack: Yeah, I wish I’d known about this a long time ago.

Ashland: You know, jack, I’m not one to — to look back on things with regret. I only want to look forward, and my priority right now is harrison.

Jack: Good. Good. Yeah, we all want what’s best for the boy.

Ashland: I certainly appreciate your family making sure that harrison is happy and busy, but I miss him, and with his mother gone, my guess is he’s missing me, too. So, uh, I’d like to stop by so we can discuss some arrangements going forward.

Jack: That may have to wait for a few days. With the news out about tara, kyle is in milan right now trying to talk summer into coming home.

Ashland: Mm. Well, I wish him luck with that. We all deserve a little happiness after everything that’s happened.

Jack: When you say “arrangements,” what exactly do you mean by that?

Ashland: Well, the first thing I’m going to do is file a motion with the court to restrict tara from seeing harrison.

Jack: And what about kyle?

Sally: Well, why would someone like tara, who has everything, be skimming funds from her own company?

Lauren: For some people, everything isn’t enough.

Sally: Well, I suppose you’re lucky that all this came out before you got in too deep with her.

Lauren: Yes. Very. Unfortunately, I got in too deep with you.

Sally: What? Wait. Okay, hold —

Lauren: You not only betrayed summer. You betrayed me and my trust even after I gave you a second chance.

Sally: Okay, please don’t tell me that you’re buying into phyllis’s crazy notion that tara and I are somehow in cahoots.

Lauren: It’s not a crazy notion. It’s the truth. And I know that now.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: You know, when it comes to kyle, uh, I’m not rushing to judgment. I want to take the time to look at all the angles and then agree upon the best visitation arrangement for harrison going forward.

Jack: I don’t want to sound insensitive, but…from what i understand, you don’t have much time.

Ashland: Well, I’m happy to say that I may have more time than I expected. I’m about to start treatment for my illness.

Jack: Well, I’m glad to hear that. I am. It doesn’t change what I’m concerned about — uncertainty in harrison’s life. Where’s he gonna live? Who’s gonna look after him? These are things that need to be decided by all the parties concerned — you, tara, and kyle.

Ashland: Your point is well taken. I will wait until kyle returns from milan to, uh, discuss any custody arrangements, and by that time, hopefully we’ll have a better understanding of tara’s legal situation.

Jack: Thank you. I appreciate that.

Ashland: You know, I just want you to know that I realize it’s not just our lives that have been affected by all this. Yours has been upended, as well, in a mess that you had no part in making. And I truly appreciate and am impressed by how you have stepped up as a grandfather, as a father, and as a man.

Jack: Family is everything to me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Cellphones chime ]

Phyllis: Ah, it’s summer.

Nick: She wants to have a video call with us and jack because they have news?

Phyllis: That could only mean one thing — she and kyle reunited and they want to pick up where they left off.

Nick: We don’t know that for sure. Let’s just wait and see what they have to say.

Phyllis: Okay, let’s wait and see for them to tell us what we already know.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Ashland and I had a fantastic time in new york. So, if I have a glow about me, i guess that comes from traveling with someone that you love. You look very radiant yourself after your trip to england and italy with dad.

Nikki: Oh, nice try, but i see what you’re doing. Darling, if you aren’t ready to share anything from your personal life, it’s perfectly alright.

Victoria: There is something that I would like to talk to you and dad about, but I was hoping that ashland and I could sit down with both of you. Are you free later?

Nikki: Shall we say the ranch in about an hour?

Victoria: Are you sure you don’t need to run that by dad?

Nikki: We’ll be there. Count on it. In this family, everyone does their own laundry,

Amanda: I was surprised to get your text after our last conversation.

Naya: I’m sure you were.

Amanda: If you’re here to talk me out of filing this civil suit against sutton, you —

Naya: I’m not. I’ve had a lot of time to think, and I’ve come to a conclusion.

Amanda: Okay. I’m listening.

Naya: It might sound strange, but I’ve realized that giving you and hilary up was the best thing I ever did.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Victoria: Tara forced summer to leave town by threatening to run away with harrison? That is so despicable.

Ashland: And now she’s experiencing the consequences.

Victoria: Well, I’m sorry that you weren’t able to see your son right away, but it’s a good thing that jack and kyle were able to shield him from the ugly truth about his mother.

Ashland: Well, I did get an update on tara while I was on my way back here. Given that her crimes involved companies and accounts that are based in new york, she’s being transferred back to manhattan for arraignment. She’s hired a lawyer who’s an old friend that we know in the city who’s agreed to take on her case. And because it’s a white-collar financial crime and her lawyer is top-notch, most likely she’ll make bail, but she won’t be able to leave new york.

Victoria: So she probably won’t be able to see harrison for the foreseeable future.

Ashland: Which is probably for the best. I’m gonna file papers with the courts to ensure that that’s the case, but I do worry what her absence will do to my little boy. I mean, he adores his mother. And we just have to figure out how to make this okay for him.

Victoria: We will. I’m really in admiration of the way that you’re willing to work with kyle. I know it’s not easy.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: But you’re doing the right thing, putting harrison first. Did jack say how long kyle will be in milan?

Ashland: Well, just long enough to convince summer thatY. The sooner, the better.

Phyllis: Summer and kyle have to be calling with good news. I mean, that’s the only reason they’d want us all together, right?

Nick: No matter what, it’ll be good to see their faces and hear what’s going on directly from them.

Jack: Hey! Together and smiling — that’s a good sign.

Summer: Hi, everybody!

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. How are you guys doing?

Summer: Uh, we are great.

Kyle: All is good in our world.

Jack: That is wonderful to hear.

Phyllis: So, are you still mad at me for overstepping?

Summer: I have forgiven you, but, you know, mom, boundaries are actually a good thing.

Phyllis: Eh, usually.

Nick: Let’s just let them talk, okay?

Phyllis: Okay. So? What’s your big news?

Summer: Um, okay, well, we have spent all day and night talking, and, um, we’ve gotten everything out in the open.

Kyle: And we’ve figured out where we want to go from here.

Summer: We want to stay in milan. Truthfully, it’s frustrating to see how fast dust reappears.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Summer: Look, the thing is, i love my job more than I thought I would. And, um, being the creative director for angelina marchetti’s fashion house is a dream come true in more ways than I expected, and i just — I don’t — I don’t want to give that up.

Nick: I tried to tell your mother that even if the plot to get you out of here was exposed, you may not want to come home.

Phyllis: So, wait a second. Is this final? Or are you two maybe just, you know, riding a wave of happiness?

Summer: No, this is — this is definitely what we want.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Summer: You know, regardless of how the job offer came about, it is perfect for me. And, you know, um, italy isn’t a bad place to call home.

Kyle: I think I can do my part running jabot from here. I hope you agree, dad, and can understand why I need to be with summer. She’s already sacrificed so much for me.

Jack: Well, I get your wanting to be with summer. Uh, yeah, we can work out all the businesses stuff. What about harrison?

Kyle: He’s been on my mind every second since I’ve gotten here.

Jack: Ashland just agreed to table any discussion of visitation until you’re back from italy.

Kyle: I’ll reach out to him. But summer and I were thinking maybe he’d let harrison come stay with us.

Victor: For a visit? Or you mean permanently?

Kyle: We’re hoping permanently. Look, I know it’s a lot to ask for. With tara caught up with her legal troubles and ashland dealing with his illness, coming to live with his dad in italy might be the best thing for harrison. And he’d have two people that care about him. Look, dad, I believe that ashland can see how much I love my son and how close we’ve grown. I will talk to him and hope for the best.

Jack: It’s worth a shot.

Nick: Kyle, I got to say, I’m impressed that you’re willing to go over there and allow summer to continue to thrive at this job. You know, maybe against all odds, maybe this time is finally the right time for you.

Summer: Well, we have no doubt about that.

Kyle: Yeah. You don’t have to worry about us. I promise. Well, we would love to keep talking to you all night, but we’ve got to go. We have a very special celebration planned.

Jack: Well, enjoy. You deserve it.

Kyle: Thanks, really, for all of your support.

Jack: Hey, that’s what parents do.

Nick: We just want you to be happy.

Summer: Okay, well, um… we’ll talk to you guys later.

Summer: Bye.

Jack: Bye.

Nick: Bye. Yeah. I, uh — I think I was more prepared for this outcome than you two.

Jack: Yeah, I wanted to keep things positive, but I got to say, this has thrown me for a loop. Never in all this did I imagine that my son and possibly my grandson would not be living in genoa city.

Nick: Look, I know, as thrilled as you are to see summer smile like that again, you’re disappointed. I am, too. I wanted them both to come home.

Phyllis: [ Voice breaking ] I’m just gonna miss her. That’s it. Um…that’s all.

Nick: I know.

Phyllis: I have to get some air.

Jack: Yeah, I could use some air, too. You mind if I join you?

Phyllis: Sure.

Victoria: You know, it’s just so odd. All the scheming that tara did, and the thing that brought her down was embezzlement from her own company.

Ashland: There is some poetic justice in it. In any case, she’s going to pay the price for what she’s done.

Victoria: I know you think she’ll lose custody, but it is possible that the judge will show her some leniency.

Ashland: Maybe. But I’m ready and willing to fight for my son.

[ Chuckles ] Do you remember when we were in our perfect little bubble last night?

Victoria: Mm.

Ashland: It was wonderful while it lasted.

Victoria: Yes, it was. Well, we can create that bubble again — but not now because we have a plan.

Ashland: Ah, yes, you’ve extended the invitation.

Victoria: I did, and my parents accepted.

Ashland: Ah, wow.

Victoria: You know, I wanted to push it off a little bit, but my mom was just chalked full of questions about our trip to new york.

Ashland: Yeah.

Victoria: She has a sixth sense when it comes to things like that.

Ashland: I know we discussed holding off on sharing the news with others, but I understand how important it is for you to tell your folks.

Victoria: Well, I have discovered over the years that paving the way with my father is usually best when it comes to major life decisions like an engagement.

Ashland: You have any idea how you think it’ll go down?

Victoria: I think it will go over well, given that my dad likes you better than the other men that I’ve married. But I guess we’ll find out soon.

Victor: Well, kindly e-mail me the contracts. I’ll look them over and get back to you, alright? Yep. Thank you.

Nikki: Hi, darling. Busy day?

Victor: Hello, sweetheart. Yes. Making a few calls from home, and then I am off to the office.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad i caught you because victoria and ashland are coming by to meet with us.

Victor: Why would she want to see us?

Nikki: I have a couple of theories, but I think it’s best if we just wait and see.

Victor: Well, now I’m intrigued.

Sally: Lauren, please just hear me out.

Lauren: I feel like i’ve been listening to you for hours.

Sally: That’s not fair.

Lauren: You don’t know when to stop!

Sally: I don’t know what you think you know, but I would really like to clear up this misunderstanding.

Lauren: There is no misunderstanding. I know exactly what happened with summer, and I have proof.

Sally: What proof could you possibly have?

Phyllis: Hey, is she still denying it?

Lauren: She is.

Sally: Please don’t listen to phyllis’s nonsense.

Phyllis: Should we tell her what we heard?

Lauren: I think so.

Phyllis: Okay, let’s do that. Uh, tara admitted that the two of you worked together to force my daughter out of town!

Sally: You “heard” that. From who?

Jack: From me.

Trelegy for copd.

Amanda: Abandoning me and my sister was the best thing that you ever did? What do you want me to say to that? “Congratulations”?

Naya: I didn’t mean it as an insult.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] Well…

Naya: I’m in awe of you. You’re remarkable. You’re intelligent and strong. You stand up for yourself and what you believe in. And from everything I’ve heard, hilary — she was very much the same. When I think back on… the college girl I was when i gave you up — insecure, lost, under my father’s thumb — I don’t think I could have raised you girls to be the amazing women you grew up to be.

Amanda: Well, I don’t think that that’s true. What about imani?

Naya: She has a great father who partially shielded her from my dad. That wasn’t my doing. If I am being brutally honest… I have to admit that all those years ago, even if I defied sutton, married richard, kept you and hilary, eventually i would have run back home and begged him to take me back into the fold. And he would have taken me back. Eventually, he would have accepted you girls. And then you would have grown up under his domineering thumb, like the rest of us.

Amanda: I don’t think you’re giving yourself enough credit.

Naya: Because I don’t deserve any. That’s who I was. It took you, my courageous child, fighting sutton, fighting the system, fighting me, to save me from myself. I wish I was more like my daughters.

[ Voice breaking ] But I’m not.

Jack: Tara told us you came to her with a plan that would benefit both of you.

Sally: Yeah, she probably did that to make herself look better. She didn’t want to admit what she did, and she knew that I was an easy scapegoat.

Lauren: I spoke to eric forrester myself directly, and he confirmed exactly what phyllis told me — that you asked him to recommend your friend summer for the job in milan.

Sally: Okay, we’ve already been over this. I never denied talking to eric.

Jack: But you did conveniently forget to mention that you went to ashland locke, went to him to intervene with eric for this job at marchetti. Ashland told me this earlier today.

Phyllis: This is absolutely unbelievable. You got ashland in on this? So you had both of the lockes doing your bidding for you?

Jack: Everything tara did to get summer out of town was with your help.

Sally: That’s not true.

Jack: Stop trying to deny this. Just stop, okay? When tara forced my daughter out of town, you made sure she had a nice, cushy job to go to, didn’t you? And then you slid into the job at jcv. My daughter lost everything. She lost the love of her life. She lost everything. But you got exactly what you wanted, didn’t you, sally?

Lauren: Well, not for long. It’s over, sally. You’re fired.

Ashland: Before we go, I have something for you.

Victoria: You’ve already given me so much the last few days. Ashland.

Ashland: I thought about going with the usual diamond, but I saw this sapphire, and it reminded me of the brilliance of your eyes.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It’s — it’s stunning.

Ashland: You don’t have to wear it in public until you’re ready, but I just wanted you to have it. Things just happened so spontaneously in new york that, uh, I didn’t give you all the bells and whistles.

Victoria: The way everything happened was perfect.

Ashland: But why don’t you let me just take one more stab at it?

[ Exhales heavily ] Victoria newman, will you marry me?

Victoria: Ashland locke, I would be honored.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: Ooh.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I brought in ensure max protein,

Sally: Don’t do this, lauren. I am good at my job, and you know it, or you wouldn’t have made it permanent.

Lauren: So, you just want me to forget about the abhorrent behavior and personal failings? That’s impossible. I took you under my wing. I gave you so many opportunities, and I was excited to be your mentor. I’m done. I can never trust you again.

Sally: Please don’t look at me like that.

Jack: Oh, you don’t have to worry. I’m gone.

Lauren: So am I.

Phyllis: But I’m still here.

Sally: You’re gonna regret this.

Phyllis: You are in no position to issue threats. The best thing you could do is go away.

Naya: I want to be in your life more than anything.

Amanda: [ Cries ]

Naya: [ Voice breaking ] But how can I even ask that… when, at every turn, I’ve been so much less of a mother than you deserve?

Amanda: You don’t have to ask…because who you were, what you did back then — that’s all in the past. What matters right now is that the woman sitting in front of me is my mom.

Summer: Mom?

Phyllis: Hey, supergirl!

[ Laughs ] Too soon?

Summer: Are you okay?

Phyllis: I’m fabulous. Guess what. Lauren fired sally. I mean, it was blistering, it was crazy, but she did it. So it’s all good now. You can come home.

Summer: Oh. Gosh, I knew you were being too quiet on the phone earlier.

Phyllis: Well, because I was listening to you this time, and I was absorbing what you were saying. So, sally’s gone, and, uh, she’s not coming back. I mean, she left L.A. She’ll leave genoa city, too. So, I know milan’s amazing and gorgeous and the love your life is there and blah, blah, blah, but you need to come home.

Summer: And I will come home, to visit at least. Mnh…

Phyllis: Summer… I did this for you! I went after sally for you! I knew she was behind this, and I uncovered what she was doing for you! And I got hammered by everyone. By jack and by lauren and by your dad. And — and they thought I was going too far, but I knew i wasn’t, and I kept on going for you!

[ Gasps ]

Summer: Oh, mom…

Phyllis: So you need to come home, okay? Don’t look at me with pity in your eyes, please.

Summer: No, no. Mom, mom, it is not pity. It is so much love and gratitude. I mean, you’ve already protected me, sometimes, yes, a little too much, um… I’ve never felt alone out there ’cause you’ve always had my back.

Phyllis: I always have your back. I’ll always have your back.

Summer: You told me to go after what I want…and to fight for what I want.

Phyllis: Yeah, exactly.

Summer: And what I really want is to be here, this job, kyle, and to hopefully have harrison here, too. Mom, I know what you did for me and I love you so much for it and I’m so grateful. I love that you’ve always given me my freedom and never held me back. And you’re doing it again right now by understanding that what i need to do is, um — is to stay here.

Phyllis: [ Crying ] I don’t understand. I don’t understand.

Summer: Mom, you are the bravest person that I know. And you made me brave. And, um…we’re gonna be okay.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Summer…

Summer: I promise.

Phyllis: Alright, you’re right.

Summer: I love you, mom.

Phyllis: I love you, too, supergirl.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: Hello, nikki.

Victoria: Hi, mom.

Ashland: Victor, nice to see you.

Victor: Well, ashland, you look well.

Ashland: And you, sir.

Victor: Well, nikki tells me that your ex-wife, tara, was arrested. That must weigh heavily on you.

Ashland: It wasn’t the best news to come home to.

Victor: I bet you that complicates the divorce proceedings.

Ashland: Well, the divorce is already final, but it does make arrangements for custody a little bit more difficult. And then there’s the kyle abbott role to consider.

Victor: Well, now, that must be a difficult situation all around.

Ashland: I’m confident that things will go the way I hope.

Nikki: Well, victor and I are very curious to find out why you two wanted to meet with us.

Ashland: I’m just gonna cut to the chase. Victoria and I have an announcement to make.

Victoria: We’re engaged.

Nikki: My goodness. Well, your relationship has grown very quickly.

Victoria: Well, we love each other, and we just — we don’t want to waste any time. Dad? How do you feel about this?

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Tara’s going down. She is going down. I don’t care if I get a million more phone calls from summer, it’s gonna be completely worth it.

Nick: You know, summer has a point. You pulled out all the stops to prove that tara and sally were working together to get her out of the picture.

Phyllis: Yes, I have.

Nick: Well, that could wind up costing kyle a lot. If tara takes harrison out of his life as retaliation…

Phyllis: That’s why we can’t waste any time. I have to get on this lead right away.

Nick: We do. You’re not in this alone.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Lauren: Hi. Wish your text had more information as to what this meeting was about, but I’m assuming it’s sally and tara.

Phyllis: Nope, it’s about you. It’s about us saving fenmore’s, your company, from making a huge mistake.

Nick: We’re working on something.

Phyllis: That’s why we can’t waste any time. We have to get on this.

Nick: And the best way to do that is to split up, but first, we need you to make a phone call.

Kyle: I’ll tell you what you’re gonna do next. You’re gonna tell everybody and anybody who will listen that you teamed up with sally to force summer out of town. You’re gonna stop with the games and the lies. I — I can’t believe this is how you repay my family for taking you in after ashland kicked you to the curb.

Tara: Sounds like you want me out of the house.

Kyle: What?! What?! That’s what you have to say? Summer and I were in love. We were about to get married, and you destroyed that relationship by threatening to take harrison away from me to get what you wanted.

Tara: Yes. I made that threat. And now [Sighs] I think it’s the right time to make good on it. Because, obviously, there’s nothing for me here, so I’m gonna go upstairs and I’m gonna pack y things and pack harrison’s, and then we’re heading straight to new york.

Jack: No, wait.

Tara: Wait, wait, no, no, no, no. I won’t let you take him.

Tara: How are you gonna stop me? I’m his mother. That carries a whole lot of weight with the courts. You’re just some guy I had a fling with.

Faith: The concert was so much fun.

Sharon: Was it loud?

Faith: So loud. But we had backstage vip passes, so it was unreal. We were just hanging out with the band, and then they went out and performed in front of all those fans. It was amazing.

Sharon: What was the best part? Was it hanging with the musicians? The tigirlily set?

Faith: Not exactly.

Sharon: Was it being with moses?

Moses: Hi.

Sharon: Hi.

Faith: Hi.

Adam: I know that you’re having fun at lacrosse camp, but this is a chance for you to learn, too. You said that you wanted to be more aggressive with your stick work, right? Well, have fun, but don’t forget that this is a chance to improve, too. Okay? Alright, I love you. I miss you, and I will see you soon. Alright.

Rey: [ Exhales ]

Victor: Detective. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Rey: It’s not a problem.

Victor: Yeah. You see that?

Rey: See what?

Victor: White is three moves away from checkmate. How would you defend that?

Rey: You know, chess really isn’t my game.

Victor: Uh-huh. Well, if it were ever to become your game, I think you’d be a formidable opponent, you know. I think you have a rather analytic mind. You doubt me, doubt what I say?

Rey: No, I’m just — sounded a whole lot like a compliment from you.

Victor: [ Laughs ] Yeah. It is.

Rey: Oh, I’m not used to that coming from you. It’s more like, “stop harassing me, detective, and talk to my lawyers.”

Victor: Well, let bygones be bygones, you know? I asked you to come here because… well, to thank you for taking chelsea to see her mother and for making sure that connor got back home safely.

Rey: Yeah, I know you weren’t happy with chelsea leaving town with your grandson, but it all worked out.

Victor: How did she seem to you?

Rey: She seemed concerned about her mother, but happy to be with her son.

Victor: Uh-huh. How happy?

Rey: It seemed legit. I’m not sure why you’re asking.

Victor: I just wonder, you know, maybe it’s all a ruse on her part. I have a feeling she might want to come back here one day and, at the opportune moment, take connor and run off with him. We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Rey: I thought you had dismissed chelsea as a threat.

Victor: Yeah. To be honest with you, I’ve learned to never let my guard down where she’s concerned. Have a seat, detective.

Rey: Thank you. Well, victor, I observed the opposite during my trip with chelsea.

Victor: Hmm. What do you mean?

Rey: Well, she seems to have accepted the situation. On the day we were leaving, she took connor aside and was very loving with him, but she told him to listen to his father and to his grandparents.

Victor: Oh.

Rey: She’s a good mom, and she doesn’t want to jeopardize her relationship with her son.

Victor: Well, that’s good to hear.

Rey: And I didn’t think she was playing me. I never got the sense that she was putting on a show for me or anything like that.

Victor: You know, detective, you were put in a rather difficult situation, and you handled it very well. I have a feeling you’d handle anything well that’s put before you.

Rey: I’d like to think so.

Victor: Have you ever thought of using your considerable analytic talents anywhere but the police department?

Rey: That sounded a lot like a job offer.

Victor: It is.

Sharon: Faith was just telling me what a great time she had at the concert.

Moses: Yeah, it was cool. I mean, hanging out backstage, that was really eye-opening for me, and seeing how everything comes together, that was — that was almost my favorite part.

Sharon: Almost?

Moses: Yeah, well, hanging out with faith, that was the best part.

Sharon: She was just telling me something similar about you.

Faith: Mom.

Moses: Hey, I got something for you.

Sharon: A white album? Is that the beatles?

Moses: [ Chuckles ] No. It’s a recording from tigirlily’s set. Devon had some pressed.

Faith: He’s selling them?

Moses: No, it’s a memento for special fans, like you.

Faith: It’s signed!

Moses: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. How cool is that?

Sharon: Well, it’s too bad we don’t have a turntable here, you could play it.

Moses: Oh, that’s okay, actually. I have a digital copy right here.

Sharon: Well, why don’t you two go on the patio, then? You can listen to it there.

Faith: But you’re teaching me how to make fancy espresso drinks.

Sharon: Oh, it’s okay. You look like you know what you’re doing. Why don’t you take a few minutes with moses?

Faith: Alright, let’s do it. Thanks for this. You’re the best.

Nick: Are you looking for someone?

Brian: I am.

Nick: Lauren fenmore?

Brian: That’s right. She called and asked me to meet her here.

Nick: I arranged that call. I’m nick newman. There are some things I would like to discuss with you. Let’s have a seat.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Tara can’t do this. How are we gonna stop her?

Jack: Look, I tried to be understanding with her before you got here. I didn’t want her to feel like she was cornered. That would only make her lash out and do more damage. Well, now she is cornered.

Kyle: Yeah, okay, so what do we do now? I need options.

Jack: Well, we’ll run it by our lawyers to see where we stand. Maybe we can get an injunction to stop her from taking harrison out of genoa city.

Kyle: Yeah, I’m willing to try anything, no matter how long a shot. Tara summed it up when she said I’m just some guy she had a fling with. And in the eyes of the law, that’s all I am right now.

Jack: You are harrison’s biological father and you have rights.

Kyle: Yes, and it’s going to take some time to assert those rights. Who knows where she’ll be with harrison by the time a judge rules on it? Dad, she’s up there with my son, packing his bags to take him away from me, and when summer left me, I consoled myself knowing I had a son here who i loved. Now I’m about to lose him, too.

Jack: There is one option.

Kyle: What?

Jack: Get her to come down and tell her we understand she messed up, that we forgive, that we’re gonna give her another chance.

Kyle: Are you serious?

Jack: She does not want to go back to new york. This gives her options.

Kyle: Dad, she’ll see right through it. She’ll know we’re just being nice to make sure she doesn’t run off with harrison. Look, she has all the leverage. You just said she’s cornered. Well, so are we.

Jack: [ Sighs ] For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Victor: You know that I have a private security firm.

Rey: I am aware of that.

Victor: Mm-hmm. You’d be a hell of an addition, you know. You’re a born leader.

Rey: Yeah, I’m not sure what to say to that.

Victor: Say yes. Then the fun part starts. We negotiate your salary. You know, I pay well, very well. Most people will tell you. And all kinds of perks.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] I’m sure they are, and i appreciate the offer.

Victor: I hear a “but.”

Rey: You know, I can’t imagine being anything but a police officer. I take a lot of pride in the badge. It’s the perfect job for me, so I’m gonna stick with what i have.

Victor: I understand, okay?

Rey: Thank you for understanding.

Victor: But I also that situations often change, you know.

Nick: What’s up?

Adam: Nicholas. Have a seat.

Nick: You know, if people keep seeing us hang out like this, they’re gonna think we like each other.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, that could be a problem for you. What do you want to do? I could, uh — how about some sunglasses? One of those fake mustaches, little disguise, you know?

Nick: That might work.

Adam: I mean, you joke about that, but I’m not above that.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nick: Sorry.

[ Clears throat ]

Adam: Good news?

Nick: Yeah, sort of. Phyllis and I are working on something.

Adam: Hmm. What’s that?

Nick: Um…alright, it’s — it’s not business, it’s personal. Turns out summer was coerced into leaving town and forced to break things off with kyle.

Adam: Oof, yikes. So what are you gonna do about it?

Nick: We have a plan. Might all be coming together as we speak. I’m just kind of waiting for an update.

Adam: Wow. Well, I pity anyone who messes with your kid.

Nick: We do what we have to do for our children, right? I know you feel the same way.

Adam: Mm-hmm. They always come first.

Nick: I know you were really going through it with — with chelsea and connor. Did chelsea object to rey bringing your son home?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Ultimately, she agreed to it, but I had to be a little delicate, but it was time.

Nick: You, delicate?

Adam: I know, I know, I know. It’s not my strong suit, and please, don’t say “no kidding.”

Nick: So, what is chelsea’s story? Is she gonna be staying in minnesota?

Adam: Yeah, for a while. Just depends on how her mom’s recovery progresses.

Nick: And if she’s given her release, where does that leave things with you two?

Adam: That leaves us nowhere. We are done. She can come back to genoa city. She can choose to stay with her mom. It’s her choice. But chloe’s running newman media’s fashion platform, so she’ll have a job waiting for her.

Nick: Mm. Job in your company — sounds awkward.

Adam: Yeah, not necessarily. Chloe has total autonomy, so we wouldn’t be working together, and chelsea is connor’s mother, so I want to make sure she has some options.

Nick: I mean, it’s admirable, but…

Adam: But what, you don’t think it could work? Two exes sharing a child, carrying on a friendly relationship?

Nick: It’s tricky.

Adam: Right. But it’s been done before. You and sharon, for example.

Jack: The lawyers have concerns about the success of an injunction.

Kyle: We have to try, don’t we?

Tara: I just told harrison that we’re headed back to new york. He’s very excited. Misses the city and his friends.

Kyle: Tara, just, please, don’t do this. It’s not about me, it’s about harrison. He’s just getting used to calling me “daddy,” and you’re about to whisk him away.

Tara: You’re playing the harrison card this early? I figured that you would work up to that. Start with threats, lawyers.

Kyle: You are making a mistake.

Tara: No, the mistake isn’t taking him away, it was bringing him here in the first place.

Kyle: Don’t say that.

Tara: You shouldn’t be upset with me. You should be congratulating me. I stepped out of ashland’s shadow and immediately sought someone else to replace him. But now I am striking out on my own. Gonna be independent, self-sufficient. Harrison is young. He’ll forget about you soon enough.

Jack: He will always remember his father. He will always need his father.

Tara: He’ll learn from the example I’m setting. He’ll be able to stand on his own two feet, not need any help from anyone.

That is a lesson that will last a lifetime.

Jack: Where is all this attitude coming from? You’re the one who messed up, not kyle.

Tara: Your son just tried to guilt me into staying here by implying I’m a bad mother. I am a good mother. I always put my son first, despite what the two of you think.

Kyle: Okay, okay, okay. Maybe I was guilt-tripping you, but that’s only because I will do anything to stop you from doing this. I only want what’s best for harrison, and if someplace else is what’s best, I wouldn’t fight you. But, tara, you’re taking him out of spite. Please, just don’t do this. I love him so much, and there’s already been so much hurt and pain. You do not double down on it. If you cared about me at all, ever, you won’t do this. Don’t settle. Start your day with secret.

Nick: Um, yeah, sharon and i have worked out a fairly peaceful and friendly arrangement, you know? It really works for us because it benefits faith.

Adam: Well, not all couples can do that after an acrimonious break-up.

Nick: Definitely takes a lot of work.

Adam: Well, for connor’s sake, I hope that chelsea and i can get there. She still has to fully recover, but I think she’s on the right track. You know, the call asking her to send connor back could’ve been ugly. Even though she disagreed with me at first, it wasn’t, so take that as a good sign.

Nick: Well, you know, let me know if you need any help or advice or whatever.

Adam: I will.

Nick: Still feels a little weird, doesn’t it? Us just hanging out, talking, saying what we mean.

Adam: Yeah, it feels a little strange without the occasional veiled threat.

Nick: We could go back to hating each other.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I don’t even know what could make that happen at this point.

Nick: Hmm. I do. If you were to, say, uh, ruin things for sharon again.

Sharon: I still haven’t heard from mariah. I know I said that I think tessa’s overreacting by wanting to get the police involved, but this is so unlike mariah. I am really starting to worry.

Rey: Well, you know I can’t use department resources unless a formal missing persons report has been filed, but, unofficially, I’ve looked into it. And there isn’t anything.

Sharon: Well, thanks for trying. You know, I’ll contact abby and tessa. Maybe they’ve heard something new.

Rey: That’s a good idea.

Sharon: Oh, and please do me a favor. Faith doesn’t know anything about mariah missing, and i don’t want her to worry.

Rey: Don’t worry, I won’t say a word.

Sharon: Okay, she’s out on the patio right now with moses, and she’s trying to take it slow, but she really lights up whenever he walks in the room.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] He’s a good kid. I’m glad she’s gotten better at picking her friends. Speaking of which, I just had a very friendly conversation with victor newman.

Sharon: What did he want?

Rey: He wants to hire me.

Sharon: What?

Rey: Yes, he wants me to join his security team. It’s an attractive offer. It’s better pay, more benefits. The commute would be basically walking out our front door.

Sharon: So you’re gonna take it?

Rey: You think I’d accept a job offer without talking to you about it first?

Sharon: I would hope not, but…

Rey: Don’t worry. I turned him down.

Sharon: Thank goodness, ’cause, you know, you don’t want to work for victor newman.

Rey: I know. Told him I was perfectly happy at the gcpd. Can’t imagine being anything but a cop.

Sharon: That’s good, but…

Rey: Well, if the right opportunity came along — better pay, less risk, more time at home with you — well, for that last perk alone, I’d be crazy not to at least consider it.

Tara: You make a strong case, kyle. It’s very emotional. But let me ask you this — if the roles were reversed, would you be moved by such an appeal? You wouldn’t even listen to me. I have one card, and I’m not giving it up.

Jack: That’s how you see your son now, as a bargaining chip?

Tara: I’m not an abbott. I can’t just snap my fingers and get whatever I want. And I’m not a locke anymore either. And I resent the accusation that I only see my son as something i can lose. I love him, but I’m not about to give up the one thing I have — control.

Kyle: You’re being completely unreasonable.

Tara: No, I’m not! Look, I know what harrison means to you and you can come visit us anytime — new york, paris, wherever we end up. Somewhere that I can give him the best possible upbringing. I really hoped it was gonna be here. I thought this was the best scenario for all of us, to be a little loving family, but I was wrong. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go pack.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m glad you’re all here.

Kyle: Please, just not now. Tara’s leaving and she’s taking harrison with her.

Phyllis: Oh, no, she’s not.

Tara: It’s not like you can stop me.

Phyllis: Well, the cops can.

Lauren: Yes, thanks to phyllis, I’ve just learned why your accountant has been holding back the financial disclosures I’ve been asking for.

Tara: I told you I would send those documents to you soon. It wasn’t deliberate, it just fell through the cracks.

Lauren: Stop lying. You have been stealing from your own company. You have been siphoning off your investors’ capital to put in your own little private account. You misrepresented the health of your company to fenmore’s just to get your hands on more cash, and you know what that’s called, tara? That’s called fraud. Brazen fraud.

Tara: [ Sighs ] Phyllis, how did you uncover all of this? You hacked my accounts. That’s the only way you could’ve figured this out. I mean, you — you wanted to attack me so bad that you would just do whatever it took. Well, you know what? You messed up, because none of this is admissible. And this is a waste of everyone’s time.

Lauren: Not exactly. You see, nick found your accountant, got him to talk. Now I understand why you’ve been stalling — to give your accountant more time to doctor the books. Well, guess what — he’s flipping on you. And all that evidence has been sent to the authorities.

Phyllis: It’s over, tara. It’s over.

Managing type 2 diabetes?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Faith: [ Sighs ] It sounds great.

Moses: [ Chuckles ] Just like we were there, huh?

Faith: You know what? I think we were.

Moses: Oh, yeah, that’s right.

[ Both laugh ]

Faith: This is, like, a collector’s item.

Moses: Yeah. Hang on to that. It’s one of a kind.

Faith: And with this inscription?

Moses: It’s really something, huh?

Faith: You’re something. I can’t believe that you did this.

Moses: Well, hey, you should thank devon the next time you see him. He’s the one who made it happen.

Faith: But it was your idea.

Moses: I’m just glad you like it.

Faith: How could I not? You know what else I like?

Moses: What?

Faith: Listening to you talk about how inspired you were by being backstage.

Moses: Yeah, it was cool being backstage and seeing how something like that comes together, making something live and exciting for a big crowd. It was cool.

Faith: Is that what you want to do now?

Moses: Maybe? I mean, I know I sound like a big flake. First I want to be a doctor, like my cousin nate, and now i think I want to work in music like my brother.

Faith: Nobody would ever think of you as a flake. Least of all me.

Moses: You know what? I think my phone lost connection. So hold on a minute. I’m gonna see if I can make it work.

Faith: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Where is this coming from? You think that I’m gonna interfere in sharon’s life again?

Nick: I didn’t say that.

Adam: I’m focused on my new job and, more importantly, my son. Last few times I’ve seen sharon, it was at crimson lights to get a cup of coffee. I mean, what am I supposed to do, not go to her business and support it?

Nick: I’m not trying to cause a fight, alright? We were simply speculating about what could cause a rift between us. I came up with something. Clearly, it is a sensitive subject.

Adam: Hmm. Given our histories with sharon, how could it not be?

Nick: Yeah, you’ve cycled in and out of chelsea’s life many times. You’re on your own right now.

Adam: You really think that I’m gonna make a play for sharon?

Nick: I’m just saying that you have this pull to her, and it seems to really kick in an extra gear whenever you’re single, and, [Sighs] Adam, you see sharon as this, like, safe haven, and we both know she is not that, so just stay away from her.

Victor: Well, well, well. How nice to see the two of you spend time together.

If you can’t afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand your rights?

Tara: Yes, but this is outrageous.

Phyllis: My heart bleeds. It must be difficult to realize you’re not above the law.

Tara: Kyle, harrison’s upstairs. Will you please go to him? He’s probably worried, and i don’t want him to come downstairs.

Kyle: It didn’t have to be this way. Things could’ve worked out for everybody.

Tara: [ Sighs ]

Alright, let’s go.

Tara: My little boy is having to deal with losing his father, and now you’ve done this to his mother? I hope you’re proud of yourself.

Phyllis: I am proud of myself. I’m very proud of myself, actually.

Jack: How did you get involved with this, lauren?

Lauren: Phyllis called me. So thankful that you did. I can’t be in business with a thief.

Phyllis: Yeah, I realized that tara and sally had to have something pretty big on summer to get her to leave genoa city and her fiancé. I mean, but tara used her son? I mean, that’s just disgusting. So anyway, we just kept on digging and digging and we found something to neutralize her.

Jack: Indeed you did. Thank you, red. I owe you an apology. Shingles?

Nick: Join us, dad.

Victor: Alright. I came to see your brother. Called the office, they told me you were here.

Nick: Is this gonna turn into a high-level newman media meeting? I don’t want to hear any company secrets.

Victor: Well, my boy, let me tell you something, if you were to join our company, there wouldn’t be any secrets, would there? How about that, by the way? How about the three of us teaming up?

Nick: I think I’ll just stick with my charitable endeavors for now, let you boys continue to try and conquer the world.

Victor: You ever change your mind, you know where to find me.

Nick: I am curious, though, what your take was on victoria’s big merger with ashland locke’s company. Does that make her your competitor now?

Adam: For a guy who doesn’t want to know any secrets, you sure ask a lot of questions.

Victor: Let me put it this way, son, I’m proud of victoria. She had a vision, she acted on it. That’s all.

Nick: Well, I haven’t talked to her about it, but her relationship with ashland locke does worry me.

Victor: I’m worried, as well. But I think victoria knows what she’s doing.

Adam: Outwardly, she’s very confident, but ashland’s health has to be a distraction. She’s doubled her portfolio just like that, overseeing a much larger corporation, so I hope she can keep her eye on the ball.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nick: Gentlemen, I have to go.

Victor: Everything alright?

Nick: Everything’s great. Just a reminder, when phyllis says she’s gonna do something, don’t ever doubt her. It’s a losing bet.

Victor: You have a nice day, son.

Nick: You too.

Jack: I have to admit, I have been struggling with this whole thing. Phyllis, I did not want to believe what you told me about tara or sally.

Lauren: I was dubious, too.

Jack: I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what they held over summer. I was horrified to find out it was harrison. They actually summer’s love for kyle against her.

Lauren: I’m just so glad this all came out before that deal closed with tara.

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s why i was in such a rush to get the proof.

Lauren: I can’t even believe that I made sally head of jcv.

Jack: Sally’s involvement in this kills me, but tara lived under this roof. Phyllis, I know I came down very hard on you, told you to keep your nose out of other people’s business, and for once, I’m very grateful that you never listen to me. You saved the day, honestly. For summer, for kyle, for all of us. I owe you big tim.

Phyllis: You don’t owe me. You just didn’t want to see what was in front of you, that’s all. You want to see the good in people.

Jack: This is your opportunity to say “I told you so.” I have it coming.

Phyllis: I’m not gonna say “i told you so.” Although it does feel good to be right. Feels good. I mean, tara just took advantage of your big heart, and, you know, she had kyle right where she wanted him — vulnerable and lonely.

Lauren: And the good news is summer doesn’t have to stay away now. She can do what she wants. She can be with who she wants.

Phyllis: I know, I know. She can come home now.

Lauren: Yes.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Thanks to you. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Sharon: I’m a little surprised to hear you talking about changing careers. You just seem so happy with the gcpd.

Rey: I am happy. And I’m not looking. It would be foolish of me to close myself off from opportunities, especially good ones.

Sharon: Oh, no, you’re not regretting turning the job down with victor, are you?

Rey: No, no, no, I’m just thinking hypotheticals.

Sharon: Good. Because as attractive as that job may be, you should remind yourself you’d be working for victor newman. You know, victor.

Rey: Yeah, I don’t need to remind myself. You’re doing it for me.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: Thank you.

Sharon: Hello?

This is sharon.

Please leave a message.

Adam: Uh, hey. It’s me. I was just thinking about you, and I wanted to say I may have made you uncomfortable with some things that I’ve said lately. And I’m sorry about that. I don’t want you to feel that way, so don’t worry about me. I’m gonna keep my distance. I promise.

Phyllis: They took tara away in cuffs. I wish you’d been there.

Nick: Never should’ve doubted you from the beginning.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] You came around. We did this together, you know that. Hey, you put pressure on that accountant, didn’t you?

Nick: Didn’t really have to. Turns out he didn’t like tara very much. He was very quick to rat her out.

Phyllis: Well, she’s easy not to like.

Nick: Regardless of how it turned out, you took a hell of a risk. It could’ve backfired.

Phyllis: But it didn’T. You took that risk with me. And come on, that’s what you love the most about me, that I’m a risk taker.

Nick: It is up there. I’m not worthy.

Phyllis: You’re worthy.

Nick: I just hope our daughter realizes how lucky she is to have a mother like you.

Jack: How’s harrison?

Kyle: He had no idea what was happening down here. Poor kid.

Jack: What did you tell him about his mother?

Kyle: It was tricky. Since he was already expecting to go to new york, I told him that she went early, ’cause his grandpa jack wanted to spend a few extra days with him.

Jack: That’s a smart answer. Buys us some time. Decide how we tell him, whether we tell him. Gosh, we were just preparing him for what’s going on with ashland, and now we have more bad news for him.

Kyle: What do you think is gonna happen to tara?

Jack: I don’t know. I’ve seen things like this happen before, and, you know, if the accountant is telling the truth, no matter how good an attorney she has, she’s gonna spend a few years behind bars.

Kyle: This is gonna be so hard for harrison. Why did I put so much trust in tara? How could I have missed it?

Jack: Wait, wait, wait. Do not blame yourself. There is no shame in trying to give people the benefit of the doubt. Look, I have been kicked in the face more than once. It’ll happen again. I hope I never lose my instinct for empathy.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I admire that. I’m in awe, in admiration of the kind of man you are. I hope I have that powerful influence over my son.

Jack: You will. You’ve proved it again and again these last few months. Kyle, you have your entire family here to support you. You can do this. We can do it together.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] And we will.

Jack: One other thing, nicholas and phyllis were really eager to call summer and tell her about everything that’s happened. I think you should be the first one to call her.

Kyle: I agree. And on that note, dad, I need to ask you one more favor. Can you look after harrison for the next few days?

Jack: Taking a trip, huh? Can I guess where?

Kyle: I’ll give you one hint. All I need is a passport.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

Summer: Ugh. Uh, un momento per favore.

Kyle: I’ve come to take you home.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Phyllis: Well, here’s to saving the world from selfish, manipulative people one person at a time.

Chloe: You know, it’s really funny that we haven’t run into each other until now. Maybe it’s perfect timing.

Sally: Oh?

Sharon: What is your gut telling you? What do you think is going on with mariah?

Rey: Sometimes people just don’t want to be found.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: Uh…did I walk into the right place?

Billy: You sure did. Welcome home.

Lily: Hmm…

Nick: Well, the charity concert went about as well as we could have hoped.

Devon: I would say so. I would say it was a bona fide hit. We raised a ton of money and awareness for new hope.

Nick: You also made one of my daughter’s dreams come true by introducing her to tigirlily.

Devon: That’s right. That’s right. Moses asked his brother here if I would do a favor for the girl that he likes. So, how could I say no to that?

Nick: I think those two have figured things out.

Devon: Yeah, I think so, too. It’s good. They’re cute together.

Nick: Hey, you’re back already?

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for keeping him company.

Devon: Oh, anytime. Anytime, yeah. He’s all yours now. I’ll talk to you later, though.

Nick: It was a quick trip. You either hit pay dirt or hit a brick wall.

Phyllis: If I’d hit a brick wall, you should pity the wall.

Sharon: Hey! This is a surprise.

Rey: Well, my superiors might not be happy with me stealing a moment in the middle of my shift with my beautiful wife, so it’s gonna have to be our little secret.

Sharon: Well, I’m not gonna tell anyone.

Jack: Hey, you two. Hope I’m not interrupting.

Sharon: No.

Jack: Listen — have you maybe heard from mariah?

Sharon: Um, I have gotten a few texts from her. Why? What’s wrong?

Jack: Well, I was hoping you could tell me that. She texted me that she would take a couple of days off after her business trip, and I didn’t realize how long this vacation was gonna take.

Sharon: She’s taking some personal time, but she’s expected to be back today.

Jack: Okay, the problem is, she hasn’t been in contact with me or anyone at jabot, and at the risk of sounding insensitive to whatever she’s dealing with, she’s kind of left us in the lurch. We’re putting projects on hold. Things are falling through the cracks.

Sharon: That’s really not like her.

Jack: But I can only cut her so much slack before I have to take action. In fact, I hate to say this, but if she’s not back to work soon, I’m gonna have to find a replacement.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: I checked in with the doctor’s office. Mariah has not rescheduled her appointment.

Abby: Then why hasn’t she showed up yet?

Tessa: She’s cutting it close, but she technically still has time.

Abby: [ Sighs ] I have reread these messages from mariah a million times, and she said that she’s gonna be back in time for her appointment. And uncle jack has called her several times on behalf of jabot to find out what’s going on, and he hasn’t heard anything, either.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphones chiming ] What the hell?

Tessa: What — what is this? Why would mariah send such a bland group text over something so important? I don’t know what’s happening.

Abby: I do. Mariah’s not coming home.

Mariah: [ Gasps ] Oh! Oh. Okay. Ah, thank you. I needed that. Just keep kicking, okay? Keep letting me know that — that you’re in there. We have to keep fighting, or… we may never get out of here. Hi, I’m pat and I’m 75 years old.

Lily: Well, if this is what i have to come home to, maybe i should go out of town more often.

Billy: Don’t say that. I don’t want you out of town.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: I missed you like crazy.

Lily: Aw! I missed you, too, although it was really nice to see mattie, though.

Billy: How’d the move go?

Lily: It was good. I got her away from her psychotic roommate and moved her into her new place, and now she’s very happy.

Billy: Glad to hear that. Did I mention I missed you like crazy?

Lily: Yeah!

Billy: It was lonely as hell here without you. And the kids were on a sleepover, too.

Lily: Oh, I’m sure you enjoyed your “me” time, watching action films with the sound on full blast, didn’t you?

Billy: Actually, no, it was all about rom-coms, making sure I was prepared for when you got home. How did I do?

Lily: Well, I mean, clearly, you are an a-plus student. You have the flowers, the candles, the caviar.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: All that’s missing is a flash mob serenading me.

Billy: Hold that thought. They’re just about to pop out of the closet in 3, 2, 1…

Lily: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god! But no, you don’t have to watch movies for inspiration. You, just as you are, is all I’ll ever need.

Abby: “I’m not ready to face the doctor yet, not ready to come home. I’m sorry. I know this is torture for all of you, but I’ve got to get in a better head space, and I need to do it on my own.” Now she can’t face the doctor? Before she left, she was so excited about the doctor’s appointments. She was eager to see how much the baby had grown.

Tessa: I can’t imagine what’s changed so drastically. And the fact that she’s just ignoring work?

Abby: This is all my fault. I put too much pressure on her, so much so that now she regrets becoming a surrogate in the first place.

Tessa: Ugh! This just doesn’t make sense.

Abby: No, none of it makes sense. I-I’m some — somehow I’m responsible for pushing her away from everyone that cares about her, including you. And if, you know, we could just talk, but she won’t respond to my texts, even. So, how are we gonna talk? I mean, it’s clearly not an option. But if we could work through this together… I don’t know. I guess now we just have to pray that mariah works this out herself. I mean, not just for her but also for the baby.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: So, I had a real enlightening conversation with eric forrester and angelina marchetti. Do you know that sally flew all the way to los angeles to convince eric to recommend summer for the job in milan?

Nick: That’s odd. But it also sounds benevolent on the face of it.

Phyllis: On the face of it, yeah, sure. Of course. But we’re talking about sally. Why would she do that… especially going back to a town that she left under a black cloud? Summer’s her rival. Why would she have eric recommend her for a job that she was gunning for herself?

Nick: Well, it makes sense that sally’s end game was to get summer out of town and then take the job at jcv, but what exactly is sally guilty of? Recommending summer for her dream job? It doesn’t sound like much of a crime.

Phyllis: Something had to happen, something else. We’re missing a piece of the puzzle. We really are. I mean, what was it that pushed summer over the edge, where she felt that she had to call off her engagement and say yes to this job? I’m about to find out.

Nick: Good luck.

Phyllis: Thanks, baby.

Sally: Oh, joy. Look who’s back in town.

Phyllis: Hey, did you get the picture of me and eric and angelina?

Sally: Oh, that was for me? I thought you drunk-texted the wrong person.

Phyllis: Stone-cold sober when I was getting all the dirt I needed on you.

Phyllis: You know, eric was a little taken aback at how strange and secretive you were in los angeles. He knew you were up to something again.

Sally: Well, if eric really thought that I was up to something, he wouldn’t have done me any favors. And the favor that he did me benefited summer. Right? Isn’t that what he told you? So, you’re welcome.

Phyllis: [ Sighing ] Sally… please just drop it. Just come clean with what happened, and I will leave you alone, honestly.

Sally: I have nothing to come clean about. And, frankly, I don’t believe you because you’re just gonna find something else to stalk and harass me about. Fyi, I’m getting on the elevator. So, you might want to scurry back to your laptop and watch me on the security cameras.

Phyllis: You see? You see that, what I’m talking about?

Nick: Yeah, she’s definitely up to something.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] If I could just find a spot that’s thin enough to bust through. Then what? Who knows what’s even waiting for me on the other side? Ugh! I wish I had watched more prison-break movies. I could figure out a way to get us out of here. Right, kiddo? You know, I was thinking. I’m not sure if “kiddo” is cutting it anymore. You’re the only one I’ve been able to talk to while we’ve been locked in here. I’ve been really grateful for that. So, I think you might need something a little bit more personal.

[ Chuckles ] And with all that womb-thumping you’ve been doing lately… you could turn out to be a real musician. So… how about a rock-star nickname? Yeah? Maybe freddie? As in mercury? Bruno, as in mars? Uh… no. What about bowie? Yeah? Do you like that? I think it kind of fits. And if you don’t like it, don’t worry. It’s just temporary until you get back to your mommy and daddy, and they can give you something official. Everyone must be so worried about us. I can’t imagine what they’re going through. You know, I’ve secretly been hoping that tessa bursts through that door and saves us.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] Oh!

[ Laughs ] You’re right, bowie. You’re right. I think we need to save ourselves. And your namesake has a song about heroes. We need to be our own.

Nina: Hey, tessa, you okay? I ran into abby on the way out, and she told me about mariah’s change of plans?

Tessa: Yeah, we’re all in shock.

Nina: Yeah! It’s just… it’s crazy!

Tessa: These generic texts from mariah are just driving me insane! I told you I asked her to send a clue if she could. Maybe this last text was the clue. Somewhere buried deep in it, is it possible that she’s signaling for help? Or is the craziness of her even writing the text the clue?

Nina: I wish I knew. Hey, did you have any trouble in tracking her location? I mean, she had to have her phone turned on to send all those texts, right?

Tessa: Oh, it’s not working. I even tried reinstalling it, but I keep getting the same message over and over — “location blocked.”

Nina: So frustrating.

Tessa: Yeah, you’re telling me. I don’t have the resources or the capabilities to find her. So, I think that I’m done playing detective and that we should go to a real one.

Phyllis: I’m glad we’re on the same page.

Nick: Yeah. I’m a little disappointed, though, I didn’t get a chance to be your eyes and ears, like we talked about before you took off for L.A.

Phyllis: Next time.

Nick: Mm. If you’re involved in something like this again, I’m gonna be by your side the whole time so you don’t feel like you have to keep a secret from me.

Phyllis: Deal.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay. Jack is on his way over.

Lauren: Hi, guys.

Phyllis: Hey!

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Um, should we tell lauren about what we found out? It involves her.

Nick: You think we should wait until we have more proof?

Lauren: Okay, I’m still standing here.

Phyllis: Uh, we may have more evidence. Have a seat. I want to talk to you about this.

Lauren: Oh, yeah, well, i definitely want to know.

Phyllis: Okay. So, um, I think that you should reverse your decision on having sally run jcv.

Lauren: Why? I’ve decided to make her position permanent.

Phyllis: No, no, no. You — you — you have to reconsider. The truth is about to come out.

Lauren: What truth?

Phyllis: Okay, well, sally maneuvered the situation so that she could get summer out of town and she could get the position at jcv.

Lauren: Oh, come on. I find that very hard to believe. Sally wanted that job in italy for herself.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah. Well, that’s what she claims.

Lauren: And when summer got the job, she suggested that sally take her place.

Nick: That may have been part of the deal.

Lauren: What deal? Are you buying into phyllis’ theory now? Because I’m not.

Phyllis: It’s actually not a theory. Sally and tara are working together.

Lauren: To what end?

Phyllis: Because they want to get what they want for themselves! Tara gets kyle, and sally, what does she get? Oh, summer’s position at jcv.

Lauren: Okay, you better have some major proof for these outrageous allegations because sally is doing an amazing job for me, and fenmore’s is just about to acquire tara’s shoe company.

Phyllis: Oh! That deal cannot happen. Don’t settle. Start your day with secret.

Devon: I thought you’d be at the doctor’s appointment with mariah.

Abby: Yeah, she didn’t come back for it, and apparently she won’t be home for who knows how long.

Devon: Why not?

Abby: She sent some vague text, saying that she needs to get in a “better head space.”

Devon: Isn’t that why she left in the first place? How long is that supposed to take?

Abby: I keep asking myself the same question. And I tried not to get too upset in front of tessa because I know mariah is her first concern. But mariah is carrying our baby, and we have no idea where they are.

Tessa: I’m starting to think that mariah is not on a trip at all. I keep coming back to the thought that maybe someone else is sending these messages.

Sharon: Why would they do that?

Tessa: Who knows? Frankly, I don’t care what the motive is. I just know that I am freaking out, and I need to know where mariah is.

Sharon: Okay, I completely understand, and I hope you won’t take offense to this, but you have never been pregnant before. So, you don’t wholly understand how overwhelming it can be. It forces you to go through all of these new emotions at once, changes in your body. It can be an all-encompassing experience. You know, physically, emotionally. Nina, you know what I’m saying. What’s your take on this?

Nina: I’m torn. I mean, I know absolutely pregnancy can be totally overwhelming. But tessa and mariah are so close, I don’t think her instincts should be ignored. Why don’t you show them the app?

Rey: What app?

Tessa: It’s supposed to track mariah’s phone, but somehow she has her locations turned off.

Rey: Yeah, I wouldn’t put too much stock in an app like this. A lot of the ones that consumers can download are unreliable.

Tessa: Well, I’m assuming that gcpd has better technology we can use?

Rey: No, I’m not sure we need to go there quite yet, especially if sharon doesn’t think there’s anything to panic about.

Tessa: I know you know your daughter extremely well. But mariah and I, we share the same heart. And that heart — our heart — is telling me that something is very wrong.

Lily: This caviar is heaven.

Billy: This vodka is perfect, as well.

Lily: Mm-hmm. You know, I think I’m gonna take back what I said about you not needing to watch movies for inspiration because this is fantastic.

Billy: Oh, cue the flash mob out of the closet.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Well, I really hope there’s not a crowd in there because I don’t want them to witness round two.

Billy: Round two?

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Mm.

Lily: I really, really missed you.

Billy: Mm.

Phyllis: Lauren, you don’t want to be in business with tara locke. Come on! She’s as duplicitous and manipulative as sally. Oh! Oh, I know that look. Oh, I know that look. You know something. You know something! You have — you have evidence of your own, don’t you?

Lauren: I’m reluctant to say anything because I don’t have any evidence.

Phyllis: Oh, well, you better tell us what you know because we told you what we knew.

Lauren: Oh, and then have you jump to conclusions and use what I told you against the two women that I happen to be in business with?

Phyllis: Okay, well, you don’t want to be in business with tara, honestly. Don’t you want to do your due diligence now and find out what she’s all about instead of being, like, duped later on?

Lauren: Okay. We’re doing due diligence on tara’s company before we acquire it. But we’re having some trouble getting some of the financial documents, which is strange because it’s just a normal audit.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, yeah, she’s hiding something in her books.

Lauren: Eh, not necessarily. I would like to reserve judgment until I actually see the documents.

Phyllis: Yeah! If you ever see them.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Well, you’ve given me a lot to think about.

Phyllis: We are steps closer to taking those two girls down!

Nick: Well, lauren’s info does seem to support your theory.

Phyllis: Damn right it does!

Nick: I’m starting to get very upset on summer’s behalf.

Phyllis: Good! Good! I like it when you’re like this.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nick: It’s new hope. I got to take this.

Phyllis: Okay. Alright, tara locke… let’s see if I can figure out what your password is.

Jack: Okay, I’m here, but this better be good. Are you one of the millions of americans

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: So, our relationship has a new fan.

Billy: Oh, I didn’t know there was a club.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] It’s very small, but it’s growing. No, I showed mattie pictures of our place and told her about us moving in together, and she’s genuinely thrilled that we’re so happy.

Billy: That’s nice. That means a lot.

Lily: Yeah. It’s so weird having a daughter that’s so mature and supportive.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: You know? It’s almost like we’ve reversed roles. But I guess I have to admit that my little babies are all grown up. Even charlie’s self-sufficient. It’s like they just don’t need their mom the same way they used to.

Billy: How do you feel about that?

Lily: Um… I feel a little nostalgic sometimes, but…

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: …I also love seeing the people that they’re becoming.

Billy: I hope it doesn’t feel weird that you’re back parenting little ones again, now that johnny and katie are living here more full-time.

Lily: No, not at all. Honestly, it’s the opposite. I mean, I loved spending that time with johnny, and I think katie is such an angel.

Billy: Well, I’m relieved to hear that.

Lily: Yeah. Deciding to share my life with you is one of the best moves I’ve made in a very long time.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] You might not believe this, bowie, but the woman who is carrying you didn’t always lead a very charmed life. And the whole story is — it’s too much for your tender, little ears. But, um… well, I grew up in a cult, with the leader posing as my father, and — shocker — things went off the rails, as situations in cults usually do. So, if I’m making a list of people who could have possibly done this to us, ian ward would definitely be at the top of the list. This is certainly in his wheelhouse of evil deeds. The problem is, ian ward is supposed to be in prison. I mean, I guess he could have convinced one of his disciples to kidnap me and make me pay for some presumed crimes he thinks I’ve committed against him, but if I’m being honest, I think ian ward has bigger fish to fry than me. Tessa has also had her fair share of run-ins with shady characters. She’s a pure spirit, just like you. But her background was cruel and unfair, just like mine. And it got her and her sister into a lot of terrible situations with some people who could really hold a grudge. So, I guess it could be someone like that, but I… I don’t know. I really don’t know, and the truth is, until the person or people that’s holding us reveal themselves, we are stuck. We are completely and utterly trapped in this room.

[ Loudly ] Which is getting really old! Was this because of something i did? Is this about tessa? Can you please just tell me why you are doing this?! What did I do?!

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: You’re welcome. Listen — I know that this whole situation is frustrating, and it’s stressing you out, but we have to believe that whatever’s going through mariah’s head, she’s still taking care of herself and the baby.

Abby: Yeah, I do, too. It’s just my motherly instinct is kicking in, and I just feel helpless. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I keep coming over here. I’m laying all of this on you. But, obviously, chance isn’t here for me to lean on.

Devon: I know. Don’t ever apologize for that, and that’s why I’m here. Alright? You haven’t talked to him at all lately?

Abby: No. Look — I knew what I was signing up for when I married him. I knew who he was. You know, he’s noble and responsible, and he’s always doing the right thing. And I can’t blame him for being who he is.

Devon: No, but you’re still entitled to have your feelings. If you need to get them out, I’m not gonna judge you.

Abby: Thank you. No, I’m not just frustrated about mariah and the baby, you know? It’s chance, too. He’s been gone for so long, and I haven’t been able to talk to him or hold him, and he was always so good at calming me down and reassuring me. And now he’s out there, doing whatever, and I am facing everything alone.

Devon: Hey. You know better than to say that. You’re not alone, abby. You have a lot of people in your corner.

Abby: I know. Thank you. I know I have great family and friends, and I thank god every day for that. But…no, chance is my husband, and this child was our dream. And it feels really wrong to be going through all of this without him. And I don’t know. I don’t know why he can’t call me. God, I don’t even know where he is. He’s out there, protecting other people, when he should be here. He should be here, protecting his wife and baby. He should be here when I need him the most! He’s been gone for too long, and I need him to come home.

[ Sighs ] Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Phyllis: So, my conversation in los angeles bore some very interesting fruit. It seems that sally was maneuvering behind everyone’s back to get angelina marchetti to hire summer.

Jack: That is strange, since sally was also pursuing the job in milan. But that doesn’t mean there was anything malevolent in what she did.

Phyllis: Oh, god, you’re still protecting her, are you? I thought you kicked her to the curb.

Jack: It could have been an offhanded comment to eric forrester that was misconstrued. Besides, even if sally is guilty, I am fed up with all of these constant attacks against her.

Phyllis: Oh, my god, you are acting like she is an innocent victim, and I assure you she is not.

Jack: I don’t care. This has got to stop.

Phyllis: You won’t even consider the possibility, will you?

Jack: I’m done, phyllis. No more!

Phyllis: Yeah, there is more! Guess what? She admitted it. I confronted sally with what eric told me about her, and she admitted it.

Jack: What exactly does that mean?

Phyllis: She admitted that she and tara were working together to force my daughter out of town.

Billy: Let’s just be honest, okay? I am the lucky one in this relationship.

Lily: Yeah?

Billy: You make me feel like an older, wiser version of myself — not too old, of course.

Lily: No! Mnh-mnh.

Billy: Now, this peace that I’m feeling inside is — is really it’s all because of you. You inspire me. And I really think that’s why this feels so strong and right.

Lily: So, dare I say we have a mature — not old, no — kind of love?

Billy: You know, when you were talking about charlie and mattie earlier, it made me want to get to know them better. I know they don’t live near us right now, but I feel like it’s really important they know just how much I love and adore their mother.

Lily: I would love that. I know they would love that, too.

Billy: How about a family vacation? All of us, the whole clan? You think charlie and mattie would handle the little ones for a little vacation?

Lily: Yeah, of course! I mean, the twins would love them. But, I mean, that’s big step.

Billy: It is. It’s a step I want to take with you.

Tessa: Mariah is missing. I don’t know how you can be so nonchalant about this. I clearly wasted my time by coming here.

Sharon: Wait, no. Please don’t go. We are not dismissing how you feel, and you’re right. You know mariah better than anyone. She has been missing for a while, and she did miss a doctor’s appointment. That’s not like her. Not mentioning anything to jack or her coworkers, that’s even stranger.

Rey: Look — those are all legitimate points. But the evidence still points to the fact that mariah is choosing to stay away. So, it would be difficult for me to launch an official investigation.

Sharon: Well, I’m not saying this is an official police matter. Wherever mariah is, she shouldn’t go through this alone. She needs to be with her friends and her family and the woman who loves her. If you can’t help me as a cop, can you help me as my husband?

Tara: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Hello, tara.

Tara: Too bad harrison just left with the nanny. He built something out of blocks, and he really wanted grandpa to see it.

Jack: I’m sorry I missed that. I’ll have to ask him about it when I see him.

Tara: Rough day at work?

Jack: Actually, I’m not coming from the office. I just had a chat with phyllis.

Tara: [ Scoffs ] What is she claiming I did now?

Jack: Phyllis took a trip to los angeles to do some digging. She found out some information about sally and confronted her. Apparently, when sally felt backed into a corner, she confessed to everything.

Tara: Phyllis has proven that she will do anything and make anything up just to cause trouble, like she did with the fake text. So, if you ask me, it sounds like she’s the one backed into a corner, willing to do anything, just to prove this crazy theory. I sincerely hope you can see that, jack.

When you skip the rinse with

finish quantum,

Abby: I guess I did have some things I needed to get off my chest. Just, it feels so wrong saying all that. I mean, I have no right to be angry with chance.

Devon: I guarantee you that chance would completely understand what you’re going through, and he’d also be the first person to tell you that you’re doing a fantastic job at handling everything. I’m sure he wants nothing more than to be here by your side, and he’s gonna come home to you as soon as he possibly can.

Abby: How is it possible that you’re an even better friend now than you were before? You always know the right thing to say to reassure me. Promise me that you’ll always offer the same kind of comfort and reassurance and wisdom to our baby when he’s born.

Devon: How about I do one better, and I guarantee it?

Mariah: [ Crying ] Aaah! Sorry, bowie. I’m sorry. Oh! I’m not gonna lose my temper. I’m not gonna upset you. I need to protect you from my anger, from my fear.

[ Sighs ] Whoever is keeping us in here has to talk to us eventually. And once I get some facts, I can start working on a plan of how to get us out of here. I’m not giving up. Okay? I’m not giving up.

Jack: Sally told phyllis that the two of you worked together to get summer out of genoa city, that you wanted her out as much as sally did.

Tara: Well, either phyllis is lying or sally is, because that’s insane. So, take your pick between two seasoned liars.

Jack: Are you sure you’re not the one who’s lying here?

Tara: Why would I do that, after you and kyle have been so good to me and harrison?

Jack: I can’t answer that. I can tell you I know how tempting it is to do whatever it takes for your child. I understand going to extremes to protect your family.

Tara: So, what exactly are you implying?

Jack: Tara, I’m trying to help you out from under all of this before it explodes.

Phyllis: Profit and loss, where are you?

[ Tapping keyboard ]

Nick: How’d it go with jack?

Phyllis: Huh?! Yes, well, yep, I think he heard me, finally.

Nick: Alright. What were you doing on the computer just now?

Phyllis: Hotel things.

Nick: What did we just talk about? No more secrets. So, save us both some time and tell me what you’re really up to.
