Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Devon: You know, I’m surprised that you had time to even get lunch today, ’cause i figured you’d be hanging out with your new pal, audra.

Nate: What, because we spend so much time together? That seems like a bit of an exaggeration.

Devon: No, it’s just my, uh, not-so-subtle way of asking what’s going on with you two.

Nate: Audra’s dealing with some glissade business in paris.

Devon: Really? I thought that you said that she and tucker are done.

Nate: They are, personally.

Devon: But they’re still doing business together?

Nate: I don’t really know their arrangement.

Devon: Hm. That’s interesting. Well, if I were you, I’d probably keep your distance, ’cause any lingering connection she has to tucker can’t be a good thing and whatever she has going on in paris, I’m sure she’s more trouble than she’s worth.

Nate: Okay, uh, you and lily have made your opinions very clear, but I think we should focus on the bigger issue: Billy and his world tour.

Devon: What’d you find out about that?

Nate: Well, I, uh, reached out to the higher-ups at all the offices he’s visited. They seem charmed by him. Sounds like he put on a good show.

Devon: Yeah, I’m sure he did. And I’m sure that our top brass are very aware of the power struggles we’ve been having, and don’t know who’s gonna end up calling the shots. So, they’re probably being nice to billy, just in case.

Nate: I’m not too worried. He might be the kind of guy they wanna have a drink with, but when it comes down to it, I don’t think billy’s made enough headway to stage a coup. Yet.

Devon: Look who it is. Do I dare hope she’s not here to cause trouble?

Nate: Aunt mamie.

Devon: Hello.

Nate: When’d you get back?

Mamie: Well, I just flew in from detroit. I’m so happy to see you both. Do you think that we may be able to get lily to join us? I need to speak with the three of you.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: What are you doing here? I thought you were on your billy abbott suck-up tour.

Billy: I actually cut that short.

Lily: Oh, no more important butts to kiss?

Billy: Is devon around?

Lily: Do you think that he’s gonna go softer on you? Because I promise you, he will not.

Billy: I need to have a conversation with you, and it needs to be private.

Adam: Really, you didn’t need to come up.

Chelsea: Yes, I did. You’re clearly upset.

Adam: You aren’t?

Chelsea: Of course, I am. But we need to keep it together. For connor’s sake. You’re the one who’s been reminding me of that.

Adam: Yeah. Well, maybe I’m done putting a positive spin on everything.

Chelsea: You can’t give up on our son. You have to stay strong for him, for all of us.

Adam: I can’t take it anymore, chelsea. The fake smiles, the false optimism. I mean, after what happened today, I cannot pretend like everything is gonna be okay. – Ugh. – Cabin crew cross check.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: Another private conversation. I mean, don’t you realize that you’re just fueling distrust and resentment?

Billy: Will you just hear me out for a second, please?

Lily: Why would I? After what you and jill did? I mean, I don’t know who I feel more betrayed by.

Billy: Okay.

Lily: Jill trusted me to run chancellor and chancecomm, and then all of a sudden she hands everything over to you.

Billy: And if you would give me a second, I’ll explain to you why she did what she did.

Lily: Okay, sure. Go ahead.

Billy: Just so you’re clear, I only found out about this now.

Lily: Okay. Well, thank you for sharing.

Billy: And I’m betraying my mother’s trust by telling you. But I think you should know. My, uh… jill is sick.

Mamie: So, devon, are you gonna call lily to invite her or shall I?

Nate: Uh, lily’s at the office, and we should probably be headed back as well.

Devon: Yeah.

Mamie: Well, I wanted to keep this away from the office, but if that’s gonna speed things along, then I guess I’ll be joining you there.

Devon: Okay. Well, I mean, I hope that you didn’t come back here to cause any trouble. ‘Cause nobody wants to upset you, but I think that we were pretty clear about where we stand on your ideas for what to do with chancellor-winters.

Mamie: And I heard you loud and clear. But that’s not what this meeting is about, my vision for the company. That’s not what it’s about. It’s actually the opposite.

Nate: What does that mean?

Mamie: I’m not gonna pretend that it wasn’t hurtful the way you guys ganged up on me the way you did.

Nate: Aunt mamie, that’s not what it was, okay? We were just–

Mamie: No, no. I know. I’m a dynamo, so I can be a piece of work. But I went back to detroit and I was thinking about, you know, all the things that happened, or rather what went wrong.

Devon: And what’d you come up with?

Mamie: I came to genoa city wanting to reunite our family through our family company. And I did some good. I convinced you to bring nate back into the company, didn’t I? I convinced you to come back. Oh, come on, guys. I nudged you in the right direction.

Devon: Yeah, you did.

Mamie: Problem is, I just kept on nudging.

Nate: Exactly.

Mamie: Yeah, so much so that things got off track. But that’s really why I’m here. That’s what I wanna know. What can I do to set things right? Because as much as I love this company, I love my family more.

Lily: Jill is sick? How bad is it?

Billy: It’s cardiac.

Lily: She had another heart attack?

Billy: No. No, she didn’t have another heart attack, but they think the two are related.

Lily: Well, where is she? I mean, we can have nate find her a specialist.

Billy: No. Um, she’s in london with her brother, snapper, and he’s making sure that she gets the best care, but this has to stay between us for now. But you know my mother. She’s about as strong as they get, so.

Lily: I mean, is there a prognosis?

Billy: No. Um, not that she told me, you know, but she said she’s gonna stick around ’cause I don’t think she would like to, uh, give her enemies the satisfaction. But the situation is serious enough for her to do what she did, so, you know.

Lily: Billy, I’m really sorry. I am. I mean, I know I was, you know, going off about jill, but you know she means the world to me, right?

Billy: I know she does. That’s why I wanted to tell you.

Lily: Well, I’m glad you did.

Billy: So, this whole situation has given me a sense of urgency as to what I’m trying to do here.

Lily: Wait, what do you mean? What are you trying to do here?

Billy: The reason why I came back to chancellor-winters was to protect my mother’s legacy, to memorialize her contribution to this company. And one of the ways that I can do that is by adding her name. Abbott-chancellor-winters.

Nate: It’s good to hear that you’re not back to push your agenda.

Mamie: My only agenda is family unity, whatever it takes.

Devon: Yeah, we’ve heard you say this before, right? Like, how long until you just start stirring stuff up again?

Mamie: I can understand your skepticism, devon. I came to genoa city looking for a fight. I’ll admit it. And I was just reaching for too much too soon.

Devon: See, that just tells me that you’re looking at this as a pause until things smooth out, and then you’re gonna start again.

Mamie: I can promise you that’s not true. That’s what I came to town to tell you. I am willing to take a giant step back and stay in my lane as a silent investor, and let all of the company decisions be made by you.

Nate: Oh, we’d like to believe you, aunt mamie. We do.

Mamie: But, well, now, if my word is not enough, what can I do to fix things?

Devon: Listen, if you want us to believe that you’re not gonna try and make another power play, and that you really want this company to be all about family, you’ll have to prove that to us.

Mamie: And how do I do that?

Devon: Well, you can sell your interest in chancellor-winters to us. (Vo) on average, we spend 93% of our lives indoors.

Mamie: Sell my stake in the company?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Mamie: But don’t you think that’s a bit extreme?

Devon: I wouldn’t have suggested it if I thought it was extreme.

Mamie: But I just told you that I was willing to back off of any hands-on, you know, day-to-day decision-making.

Devon: I know what you said. But as long as you still have a financial stake in the company, you can still wield your power around.

Mamie: And you don’t trust me enough to believe me when I say that I won’t?

Devon: You asked me how you can prove that you’re genuine about really putting the family first and I’m answering you.

Mamie: You are asking me to give up on a very lucrative investment. One that I worked really hard to be able to afford. But to cut me out of the company completely? Oh, this is overly cruel.

Devon: I don’t see it as being cruel at all, mamie, because there are plenty of other great investments that you can make. And we’d be more than happy to help you find those investments. Ones that wouldn’t cause a family rift.

Mamie: I swore I was not going to talk business today, but given what you’re asking me to do… I heard that jill is handing over the reins to billy.

Devon: Yeah, she did. What about it?

Mamie: Are you gonna sit there and tell me that’s not a giant red flag?

Lily: Billy, you tried this name change with devon and nate when I was in california with mattie.

Billy: And they shut it down.

Lily: Yeah, and I agree with them because it’s ridiculous. You know how hard it was to rebrand when we merged chancellor and winters.

Billy: Look, maybe it was bold at the time, but I’m asking you to reconsider, given my mother’s illness, because god forbid, she might not make it out of this.

Lily: You think it’s that serious?

Billy: I don’t know. I sure as hell hope not. But I need to be pragmatic billy because it’s a possibility, right? And I want her to know that her legacy is secure. That everything that jill abbott did to make this company the success that it is, is recognized.

Lily: Well, it also protects your role here too, right?

Billy: Don’t do that. Don’t accuse me of using my mother’s illness for my benefit, okay?

Lily: I’m just saying what other people are gonna say.

Billy: This is not about me.

Lily: Billy, come on. Think about how this looks. You wanna add jill’s last name to the company. It’s your last name too.

Billy: I would love nothing more than my mother to live to 100.

Lily: Okay, great. So spend time with her. Go be with her. Why is this so important to you?

Billy: You know that we had some rough times over the years, she and I, okay? This is… all of that was because of my behavior and this is my chance to– to make it up to her. And I would love to do that for her before it’s too late.

Chelsea: I’m not gonna let you throw this away. And I’m not gonna let you give up on our son. We are gonna see him again soon and you’re gonna give him this gift.

Adam: When is that gonna be? I mean, it’s his favorite cookies, chelsea. They’re gonna be stale and moldy by the time they finally let us see him.

Chelsea: Well, the doctor said we can reschedule.

Adam: I feel so helpless. Every time that we get close, they pull the rug out from under us. Only the rug is connor and they’re keeping him from us. I mean, it’s a nightmare.

Chelsea: You said yourself, you’re the one reminding me that this whole process is one step forward, two steps back.

Adam: I’m done with that. Okay, we need to stop pretending like there’s anything positive in this situation.

Chelsea: We can’t stop and I need you. I need you to be the reassuring one. I need you to be the rock because I can’t do this by myself!

Adam: Look, I know that you were looking forward to this visit as much as I was and you wanted to hold him again, and you wanted to see him in person for the first time in a long time.

Chelsea: Yeah, more than I’ve wanted anything in my whole life. It was one thing when my mom got alzheimer’s,

Devon: Now, mamie, do you really think that bringing up jill and billy and then throwing around terms like red flag is the best way to show us that you’re trying to back off and not cause problems?

Mamie: You are asking me to sell my stake in this company, and you think I don’t have the right to ask you your plans? But given this news about billy’s new power?

Nate: Aunt mamie…

Devon: No, listen, listen. We’re not gonna have a debate about this, all right? We have billy under control. Now, you asked me what you can do to make things right, and selling your interest in the company is my answer. So, just think about it. Now, I need to get back to the office. Are you coming?

Mamie: Nate, I need you to stick around for a minute.

Nate: I’ll be right behind you.

Devon: Okay. All right. It’s good to see you.

Nate: What is it, aunt mamie?

Mamie: This family must work together. It’s the most important thing in the world.

Adam: Hey.

Sally: Hey. I didn’t expect you to be here.

Adam: Uh, neither did we.

Chelsea: I didn’t realize you were living here now.

Sally: Yeah, this is my first day moving in.

Chelsea: Well, congratulations. That’s great news for both of you.

Sally: Thank you. How are you back so soon? You guys just left this morning. Is everything okay with connor?

Chelsea: I’m gonna let adam fill you in. I should get going. Let you get settled in your new place.

Sally: Um, I– I– I’m so sorry, but whenever you’re up for it, I would really love to connect with you about marchetti. I don’t wanna bug you. I just have a few questions, really. It’s nothing urgent, but…

Chelsea: Yeah, of course. My god, I totally forgot. Um, I’ll– I’ll give you a call later for sure. Don’t lose the confidence you had before we left to see him. Things will get better. They have to.

Adam: Hi.

Sally: Hi.

Adam: Oh, I missed you.

Sally: I missed you too.

Adam: So much. Are you getting settled in? Huh? I don’t, uh, see a lot of your stuff here yet.

Sally: Well, yeah, I mean, this is my first trip, but hey, I’m worried about you. Why is chelsea asking you to stay confident? What happened with connor? Why do you still have his gift?

Lily: I mean, I get why she wanted to hand things over to you in private, but I just wish she could’ve trusted me to tell me the real reason behind it.

Billy: She just told me the truth now.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, I don’t agree with that, but what’s done is done. I mean, all we can do is just support her the best way we can.

Billy: I’m glad you see it that way because I’m hoping that you can convince yourself that this is the right thing to do and that it’ll actually be a benefit to this company. And I’m hoping you can find it in your heart to embrace this idea and help me present it to the board.

Lily: I mean, I understand why you wanna make this grand gesture.

Billy: Look, I’m gonna have to convince devon that this is the right thing to do, and you’re the only one that can do that.

Lily: I’m gonna have to think about it.

Billy: Okay. Well, um, until then, can you do me a favor and just not mention this to anyone for jill’s sake?

Lily: Not even devon? I mean, that’s not gonna win any points with him.

Billy: I know, but I already broke her trust by telling you.

Lily: How am I supposed to sell this idea to him if I can’t explain the situation?

Billy: Okay, will you at least let me talk to her first. Can you– can you do that for me?

Devon: Oh, hey. Look who’s back.

Billy: Hey.

Devon: Hey. Everything okay in here?

Lily: Um, yeah. You can count on my discretion.

Billy: Thank you.

Devon: Well, I can’t wait to hear how your trip went.

Billy: I’ll fill you in later, but every office that I’ve met with, they’re doing great.

Devon: You wanna tell me what that was about? ()

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Billy: Hey, what are you doing here? You’re supposed to be on a plane going to see connor.

Chelsea: Hold me.

Billy: What’s wrong?

Chelsea: Oh, thank god you’re here. I know your trip was important, but I’m so glad you cut it short. I don’t think I could get through this without you.

Billy: What happened? Trip get delayed? Is everything okay with connor?

Chelsea: We didn’t end up going.

Adam: We were all ready to take off and then we got a video call from connor, and we had to cancel the trip.

Sally: He told you not to come? But I thought he was looking forward to it, that– that whenever you told him you were coming, he was more talkative, and he was telling you all the new things he was learning about the ocd.

Adam: And yeah, how he’s learning to cope. I mean, chelsea and I, we were impressed. We felt like there was real improvement. I mean, we were sitting on the plane thinking maybe he had turned a corner, and then…

Sally: It’s okay. Take your time.

Adam: His excitement made his ocd flare up this morning and it was stronger than ever.

Sally: How so?

Adam: The ocd, it couldn’t let him feel good. It told him that he doesn’t deserve to be happy. And then that led to disassociating again, and more self-harm. This time, he, uh… he punched himself in the face. I mean, we could see it on the video call. He had a mark on his cheek. It’s probably gonna bruise. I just… why? Sally, how could he do that to himself?

Sally: Okay. Come here.

Billy: Chels, I’m so sorry. I can only imagine how this feels.

Chelsea: Devastating. It’s like my heart is just being ripped out over and over, and I can’t show connor that I’m upset ’cause then he’ll just feel worse. So, I just stare at the screen and look at his face, and listen to the tone of his voice.

Billy: Not to try and put a positive spin on this, but it’s– isn’t it a good thing that he called you this time?

Chelsea: Yeah, yeah. That’s what the doctor said when we talked to her. She said that when connor hit himself, he was in a dissociative state, but then he quickly reconnected and– and realized what he was doing and called one of the nurses.

Billy: And that’s– that’s new, right?

Chelsea: Yeah, he’s never done that before, call a nurse. The doctor said that that’s a good sign that he’s learning to interrupt the ocd, that he’s learning to manage it. They say it’s an advance.

Billy: But your heart still hurts and there’s no way around that.

Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I wish I could be positive like this doctor, but this is my son. To see his face, billy, to know that he’s hurting himself, I mean, oh, it’s just so hard.

Billy: I’m almost afraid to ask, but how is adam?

Chelsea: I mean, he was okay before. Um, he was more of the cheerleader.

Billy: Yeah, you said that.

Chelsea: But this, I mean, this has really thrown him.

Billy: So, is he back to wanting to change treatment facilities and everything again?

Chelsea: He didn’t say that, but he’s very frustrated and I wouldn’t be surprised. And to be honest with you, I wouldn’t blame him.

Billy: So, he’s back to being adam.

Chelsea: Don’t do that. That’s not fair. We were both really looking forward to this meeting with connor, so I– I don’t blame him for being so upset.

Billy: I know, I’m– I’m– I apologize. I have no right to be glib. I know how difficult this is on both of you.

Chelsea: The truth is adam’s been working overtime to try to pull me up. I’m worried about him. I mean, we just keep taking turns trying to be strong for each other. I think we both just want a quick, easy resolution, but it’s not gonna happen. They keep saying every case is different. There’s no timeline, so… I just have to trust the process.

Billy: Keep doing that, okay? You keep doing that. It’s the only way forward.

Nate: Listen, everything that’s gone down at chancellor-winters, it’s shaken our family to the core. And I played a big role in that. So, I know better than anyone that it can take a lot to win back devon’s trust once it’s been broken.

Mamie: But how did my voicing my concerns about jill abbott’s motives break that trust?

Nate: It’s the way you went about it. And your focus on jill doesn’t help your case.

Mamie: And devon’s only answer is to cut me out completely? I just don’t think I can do that.

Nate: You may have to find a way to. Because if you can’t let go of your animosity for jill or your involvement in chancellor-winters, then this professional tension we’re all having, it might turn personal.

Mamie: But my warning you guys about her is putting family first.

Nate: See, it’s you saying things like that that make it seem like you came back to town to– to cripple jill, not to strengthen the family. This is a turning point, aunt mamie. Where things go from here, it’s up to you.

Sally: Adam, I know this is hard, but I think chelsea’s right. You have to stay strong. You can’t lose faith.

Adam: It’s not a choice that I’m making. I’m just– I’m spent. And connor’s physically hurting himself.

Sally: I know. And that breaks my heart because he is such a sweet kid.

Adam: I just– I don’t know how he can be turning his anger on himself. What, isn’t this something that all the experts should be able to stop from happening? None of that started to happen until after he went into treatment. How are things getting worse?

Sally: I don’t know. I mean, when you explained erp treatment to me, it sounded complicated. Exposure and response prevention. So, they trigger his intrusive thoughts and then help him manage his compulsive responses, right?

Adam: Yes.

Sally: So maybe it gets worse before it gets better.

Adam: Well, that’s the exposure and response part, but what– what about the prevention part?

Sally: I mean, it takes time to build preventative habits, right? It doesn’t happen overnight. I’m sure this takes time.

Adam: Well, the doctor did say that he stopped himself and he– he asked for help.

Sally: That’s a good sign.

Adam: But they still won’t let us visit him because of his backsliding.

Sally: Well, did they say how long it would be before you can reschedule?

Adam: Nobody will promise us anything.

Sally: It will happen. You and chelsea will be giving connor the biggest hug in the world soon. I know it.

Adam: What if it makes it worse? I mean, if just the idea of seeing us made him hit himself. Imagine what he would do if we actually see him.

Sally: Adam, don’t go there.

Adam: How can I not go there? He punched himself in the face at the thought of us visiting him. How can I live with that?

Devon: Why did you just tell billy that you were gonna be discreet about something?

Lily: Um, he just wanted me to keep something confidential.

Devon: Did it have anything to do with our plan of you joining him to run chancellor and us demerging these companies?

Lily: No, I didn’t even talk to him about that. I didn’t know he was gonna be here today. So, I wanted us to, you know, agree on strategy first.

Devon: Well, I’m glad that you didn’t, actually.

Lily: Are you having a change of heart?

Devon: No, I’m not having a change of heart. I’m just a little hesitant now because mamie is back in town and nate and I ran into her at the club.

Lily: Oh, god, now what?

Devon: She actually wanted you to be there, but we spared you. But she apologized and said that she was gonna stay out of all of our business decisions moving forward and let us run the company.

Lily: Do you believe her?

Devon: I don’t, not for a second. And now, I’m worried that if we move forward with this demerger plan with her still in the picture, it’s gonna be one big, I told you so.

Lily: Well, I mean, it was her idea in the first place, so.

Devon: I know.

Lily: When did everything get so messy?

Devon: What was it that you and billy were talking about when I came in?

Lily: Why don’t you worry about mamie and I’ll handle billy.

Billy: I got some upsetting news myself, actually. While you were on your way to the airport, I got a text from my mom and, um… it turns out she’s sick. Again, her cardiac issues have come back.

Chelsea: Oh, no. Is it serious?

Billy: I don’t know. She wouldn’t really tell me, you know, but she’s putting up a– a brave front. She admitted that it’s the reason why she gave me the reins at work. Her brother’s a doctor. I don’t know if you know that, but he’s taking care of her in london and it’s his suggestion that she steps back while she’s going through treatment.

Chelsea: Oh, poor jill. Poor you. How are you doing?

Billy: To be honest, it took my breath away at first, you know, and the– the braver face she puts on, the more my mind goes to the what ifs.

Chelsea: Yeah, how could it not?

Billy: To be honest, I feel bad even talking to you about this right now.

Chelsea: Why?

Billy: Because she swore me to secrecy and you’re the– you’re the second person that I’ve told already. I– I– I told lily and now she wants to tell devon.

Chelsea: Well, I hope she knows she can’T.

Billy: No, I mean, she said she’s not gonna say anything until I talk to my mother about it, which I’m dreading.

Chelsea: Yeah, I don’t think she’d be too pleased.

Billy: No, no, not in the least.

Chelsea: I’m surprised you told lily considering there’s so much tension at work.

Billy: Lily is an ally for me. If things get worse with my mother, I– I want to make sure that she knows that her legacy is secure.

Chelsea: Why would she need lily for that?

Billy: Because I’m on a full court press to add abbott to the chancellor-winters name and i need lily to help me convince the board and to convince devon.

Chelsea: And she’s willing to do that?

Billy: She didn’t say no and I think she understands the reasoning behind it.

Chelsea: So, what do the abbotts think about this plan?

Billy: I haven’t talked to the abbotts about it yet.

Chelsea: You don’t think you want to talk to the abbotts about it first, especially jack?

Billy: I’m not gonna talk to jack about it until I’m further down the line on this plan. Okay, go ahead, what are you thinking?

Chelsea: No, I just– I– I think a lot of this plan is dependent on trusting lily, which I don’t think is wise considering the circumstances. But what if she changes her mind and tells devon anyway and then they go talk to jill?

Billy: Now who’s jumping to what ifs?

Chelsea: No, I just– I don’t want jill to feel like you betrayed her trust because you didn’t keep her health status confidential. I mean, the last thing she needs right now is to feel like she can’t trust her own family.

Lily: So how did you leave it with aunt mamie?

Devon: She appeared to be apologetic, but you know her. So, I gave her an ultimatum and I said that if she really wants to prove that she has the family’s best interests at heart, let us buy her out.

Lily: She is not gonna agree to that. She worked very hard to get it.

Devon: That’s exactly what she said. And then she swore up and down that she would stay in her lane, but I don’t think mamie is capable of doing that.

Nate: I’m afraid I have to agree.

Devon: Why? What did she wanna talk to you about after I left?

Nate: She thinks I’m the softer touch. Stuck to her guns about wanting peace, but underneath, she’s fired up. And I don’t see her letting go anytime soon.

Devon: Hm.

Billy: I have enough history with lily to trust that lily’s not gonna say anything to devon until I talk to my mother. I think she’ll– she’ll give me that much.

Chelsea: Even if she’s not fully on board with your mission to change the name of the company?

Billy: Well, I hope she is. But look, at the end of the day, lily respects my mother, okay? And she knows that my mother wants to keep this quiet and i think that she’ll do that.

Chelsea: Does jill know that you want to add the abbott name?

Billy: She knew about the original plan and she was all in. You know, in fact, she was pushing for it.

Chelsea: And then it was shot down strongly.

Billy: Which is why I need to be very strategic about how I fight for this.

Chelsea: But jill doesn’t know, does she? I can tell because you’re being evasive.

Billy: Well, she’s got other things on her mind right now.

Chelsea: I feel like her legacy means more to you than it does to her. So maybe you should find out her wishes before you pursue this.

Billy: Chelsea, she handed me power at the company to make sure that our family legacy was protected at chancellor-winters, okay? I think she trusts me to do what I think is right. It doesn’t seem like you’re with me on that.

Chelsea: No, I’m not against you. But being on your side maybe means challenging you on this.

Billy: I don’t even know if she’s gonna show up. You know, if she’s gonna come back to work in any meaningful way if– when she recovers.

Chelsea: And if she doesn’t, that means you gain control of at least half the company, right? Is that what you want? To gain control of all of it?

Billy: Honestly, I’m just trying to do one thing at a time right now.

Chelsea: Okay. I understand. I know this is overwhelming.

Billy: I’m sorry. Um, what do you suggest?

Chelsea: I think that you should focus on supporting jill. Just be there for her. But I would be careful not to get in some big company battle because you will waste precious time with jill. That will cost you way more than you could potentially gain.

Adam: I don’t know how much longer I can trust the process. I threw that in the trash, um, in a moment of anger. Your thoughtful gift. Chelsea retrieved it.

Sally: Hey, you know what? We can always get more cookies, okay? If it makes you feel better to hurl that in the trash, I say go for it. Let your anger out. It’s a good thing. It is more than okay. It’s necessary. You cannot keep it locked inside. The key is to let it out. You just can’t let connor see it.

Adam: Well, I feel like I shouldn’t let chelsea see it either.

Sally: Okay, you cannot take that on, too.

Adam: She was practically begging me to stay strong.

Sally: Yeah, for connor. Not for her, okay? She can take care of her own feelings. Look, adam, you and chelsea are a support for each other in this, okay? But there are gonna be moments where you have to let it out. And that’s what I’m here for.

Adam: I don’t know how I would get through any of this without you.

Sally: You don’t have to.

Cole: Hey.

Victoria: Hello.

Cole: Is this a bad time?

Victoria: Uh, no, not at all. Come in.

Cole: Oh, okay. I’m sorry to drop in like this, but I just had to know how claire’s first day on the job went. I mean, is she here?

Victoria: Oh, not yet, but I’m really glad you’re here because I’ve been checking the clock every few minutes. It’s– it’s much more fun to have somebody to wait with. But you should’ve seen her when she left earlier. She was just– she was so excited. She was practically bursting.

Cole: Oh, well, I’m kind of bursting myself. I mean, vic, she’s come so far, so quickly.

Victoria: I know.

Cole: I couldn’t be more proud.

Victoria: I know. I know, it’s like mom said, it’s– it’s a whole new chapter for all of us.

Cole: Yeah.

Claire: Harrison and I have tidied up his room and he’s drawing his third picture of the caterpillar’s backyard.

Kyle: You were great with him today. I knew you would be.

Summer: Harrison seems to be back to his silly self again, so thank you.

Claire: I had a great time. I have to ask, as trials go, how’s this one going?

Summer: It’s going well.

Kyle: Out of the park.

Claire: If there’s nothing else.

Kyle: Uh, claire, before you go, um, there’s something you need to know.

Summer: Why do I get the feeling I’m not gonna like it?

Kyle: Jordan is alive.

Kyle: And now jordan’s incarcerated in a maximum security facility.

Summer: Jordan is alive. You knew about this, didn’t you?

Claire: I did.

Summer: How long exactly did you know?

Claire: Since early this morning.

Summer: And you didn’t think that this was important enough to tell us that your aunt, our son’s kidnapper, was still alive?

Claire: My parents and nikki thought it would be best if victor shared the news.

Kyle: Victor came by earlier. He wanted to tell you in person, but I told him I would take care of it.

Claire: I wanted to tell you right away. I knew how much it was gonna upset you. But I also wanted to honor my family’s wishes. At least jordan’s somewhere that she can never hurt anyone ever again.

Summer: Unless she burns it down like the last prison she was in.

Kyle: Jordan will never see the light of day again. All right, we’re good here. So, if you wanna take off…

Claire: Same time tomorrow?

Kyle: Absolutely.

Claire: See you then.

Summer: One day. One day on the job and she’s already keeping secrets that change everything.

Ashley: Why are you saying that you weren’t here? We sat right there. We talked and we had some wine together.

Alan: Uh, uh, I’m sorry.

Ashley: No, listen. Why are you doing this to me? It happened.

Traci: Maybe, ashley, you’re just confusing the night.

Ashley: I’m not confusing anything at all, traci. We had an in-depth conversation, alan, we caught up. You have to remember that. I told you all about the problems I was having with tucker.

Alan: Again, ashley, I am sorry, but–

Ashley: I don’t know why you’re doing this to me. I’m telling you right now, it happened.

Cole: Hey, there she is. The nanny extraordinaire. How was it?

Victoria: Well, I think that smile says it all.

Cole: Ah!

Claire: It was the best day ever. We had so much fun. I mean, harrison’s great. He’s so funny and he’s smart and curious. He had a whole list of things that he wanted us to do and I’m proud to say that we checked them all off. I’ve never had so much fun with caterpillars.

Cole: Wait, wait. I’m not quite sure what that means, but it sounds great.

Victoria: So, is he still recovering from the kidnapping? Or, I mean, is there lingering upset?

Claire: I think he’s honestly bouncing back. Of course, it’s a process, but kyle and summer have consulted a therapist and he’s surrounded by so much love.

Cole: Well, honey, you were a big part of that support system. The bond that he shares with you makes a real difference. You’re able to relate to him and to help him heal.

Claire: Kyle has said the same thing.

Victoria: Well, I’m sure that summer’s noticed, and now she’s probably lightened up a bit, right?

Claire: Well, I’m not sure I would call it lightening up exactly. She definitely treated me more like an employee than a relative. And it didn’t help when kyle told her about jordan being alive. She accused me of purposefully holding back information.

Victoria: What? That is ridiculous. Do you want me to talk to her and let her know that dad was the one who asked you to stay quiet about it?

Claire: No, I don’t need you to talk to my boss/cousin for me.

Cole: Yeah, well, she’s ready to go.

Claire: Kyle came to the rescue, actually. He explained everything, but not that it had much impact.

Cole: Well, just give it some time. I’m sure she’ll come around eventually.

Claire: I hope so. But luckily for me, kyle has been 100% supportive. He has such great energy. He really makes me think I can do this.

Cole: Oh, well, it sounds like you’ve made a friend.

Summer: Did you know about jordan earlier today?

Kyle: No, of course not. Victor came by earlier when I–

Summer: You’re so determined to hire claire. Maybe you did. Maybe you hid it from me because you know that this is a game changer.

Kyle: Summer, nothing has changed.

Summer: How can you say that? Her aunt, our son’s kidnapper, is still alive.

Kyle: And what? You can’t think claire had any involvement with jordan surviving. What did she do? Pull her body out of the river? Hide her in a closet?

Summer: Are you seriously mocking me right now?

Kyle: Look, I know it’s a lot to take, but you can’t blame claire for any of it.

Summer: I am so sick of you telling me what to think and how to feel. It’s condescending. It’s offensive.

Kyle: I’m sorry. That’s not what I want. But jordan is no longer a threat. And whether she’s alive or dead, it has no impact on claire taking care of harrison.

Summer: The timing of it, kyle. Our son was kidnapped. And that person’s two most recent targets are now hanging out every single day. It’s not safe.

Kyle: Summer–

Summer: Look, if we let claire go now before harrison gets even more attached–

Kyle: We’re not firing her. You said yourself our little boy is back to his sweet self. We’re not taking that away from him.

Summer: It’s not just up to you, kyle. This is my decision, too.

Alan: I’ve been to a lot of bars in paris, but I have never been to this one.

Traci: Okay, maybe you’re just confusing the location.

Ashley: I’m not confusing the location. Everything about this place is familiar to me. I even recognize the bartender. I think his name is jean-pierre. Go ask him.

Alan: Look. What do you remember about our conversation?

Ashley: Okay, well, I’ve told you a multitude of times that I was talking to you about the problems I was having with tucker. How many more times do I have to say it to you?

Alan: I understand, but, I mean, specifically, what did I say? I mean, how did I respond?

Ashley: What are you saying to me? Am I creating some kind of a psychosis? Am I delusional? What is happening?

Alan: No, I– ashley, I– I don’t think you’re making it up.

Ashley: Then why won’t you admit that I’m telling you the truth?

Alan: I think it happened exactly as you say. It just didn’t happen with me.

Ashley: Okay. I don’t understand anything you’re saying.

Alan: I believe you spent the evening with, uh, my brother. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Summer: Thank you for meeting me.

Chance: Of course.

Summer: I hope I didn’t take you away from anything too important.

Chance: Chancellor-winters can survive without me. You are much more important.

Summer: Did you find out anything about jordan?

Chance: I talked to my guys. Everything that kyle is saying checks out. Jordan’s being held in one of the highest security facilities in the country. No one’s ever escaped this place.

Summer: Well, she burnt down the last prison she was in, so let’s hope that this place has a little bit better security.

Chance: I’m told that they are aware of her history and they’re taking extra precautions.

Summer: I guess my grandpa would be raising hell if they weren’T.

Chance: Hey, I gotta ask you. Why didn’t you turn to victor on this? Why me?

Summer: Because my grandpa is one of claire’s biggest champions, along with the rest of the newman family. Every time I bring up a concern about her, her history, they tell me that I’m being unfair, when I’m only trying to protect my son. So, you are my impartial hero.

Chance: Well, uh, not so impartial. I am 100% on your side. Always.

Summer: That means a lot to me.

Chance: Hey, this is good news. Jordan’s not a threat anymore, but you don’t seem too relieved.

Summer: Claire knew that jordan was found. She showed up to her first day of work and she didn’t say a word to kyle and me.

Chance: What?

Summer: Yeah, the family thought that my grandpa should be the one to tell me and I guess she wanted to respect that.

Chance: You don’t agree?

Summer: All I know is that it’s her first day on the job and she’s already keeping secrets. Jordan may not be able to hurt harrison, but the person that she groomed since birth now has direct access to my son.

Claire: I saw the cutest book on caterpillars I wanna order for harrison. I’ll be right back.

Cole: Have you ever seen her so happy?

Victoria: Hm.

Cole: No? Yes? Hey, what’s going on?

Victoria: Kyle.

Cole: What about him?

Victoria: I want for claire to make friends, of course, but I’m just not sure that he’s the right choice.

Cole: Well, I don’t– I don’t see an issue. He seems like a great guy.

Victoria: He is. I mean…

Cole: What?

Victoria: Well, I mean… his relationship with summer, you know, it’s– they have this history. It’s complicated. And it’s obvious that summer’s not completely on board with claire being harrison’s nanny. There’s gonna be some friction and claire will be at the center of it.

Cole: Well, I’m sure they’ll eventually get over that, you know, for harrison’s sake.

Victoria: Yeah, I know, but there’s more than that. Kyle, he just doesn’t– well, he hasn’t always had the best judgment. He’s had several divorces, the affair with harrison’s mother. Not to mention that long ago, he was dating that shark, audra charles.

Cole: Past tense. Maybe he’s learned something.

Victoria: Am I overthinking?

Cole: Well… I think you’re being a mom. And maybe just a little on the overprotective side. But that’s completely understandable because you love our daughter so much. I think the positive here is– is that she’s made a real friend. And I think that’s exactly what she needs.

Tessa: Hey, stranger. It’s good to see you.

Mariah: Kyle. Oh, my goodness, we have been so worried about you. Um, do you have time to sit?

Kyle: Yeah, I’d like that.

Tessa: Thank you.

Kyle: Thanks.

Mariah: I don’t even know what my first question is. I mean, hearing that harrison was kidnapped by that maniac.

Kyle: Right.

Tessa: I mean, all I can think is if someone did that to aria, I would lose my mind.

Kyle: Summer and i pretty much did.

Mariah: How is he doing?

Kyle: We’ve been lucky. The love and support from family and friends, it’s really helped. And thanks to sharon, she hooked us up with a therapist who’s been great at guiding us through it all.

Tessa: So, harrison’s fine?

Kyle: He’s had nightmares, but he’s getting better every day. He’s practically back to his old self.

Mariah: I’m really glad to hear that. How are you doing? Well, I know you. You’re probably busy taking care of everybody else and not thinking about yourself.

Kyle: Seeing harrison happy is all I need. Here’s proof that the little boy is back to his goofy, healthy self.

Tessa: Oh, look at that smile.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh. He’s loving whoever’s taking the photos. Summer taking it?

Kyle: Actually, it was his new best friend, claire.

Tessa: Oh, we’ve met her.

Mariah: Yeah, she’s sweet.

Tessa: Yeah, pretty amazing, considering her horrendous history.

Mariah: Wait, wasn’t she also kidnapped with harrison by her nut job of an aunt who raised her?

Kyle: She was. It was a terrifying experience for both of them. But coming out the other side together, surviving together, it’s really bonded them. I mean, claire and harrison, they’re best buds. She’s even his nanny.

Mariah: She’s what?

Alan: Thank you guys so much for coming back here.

Ashley: I don’t understand why you wanted to.

Alan: Well, I just didn’t wanna discuss all of this in public, especially in a bar that my brother might return to.

Traci: Were you afraid that we might run into him?

Alan: This is a conversation I never wanted to have, but, um, once you told me what happened, I began to consider an alternative possibility about what you experienced here.

Ashley: That has to do with your brother?

Alan: My twin, martin. He’s a sociopath. New herbal essences is packed

Chance: Has claire given you a reason to worry about harrison?

Summer: No. She was perfect. Upbeat, responsible. I– I haven’t seen harrison that happy in a while.

Chance: Well, hey, that’s something.

Summer: It is. And I’m grateful. But nobody wants to remember that claire was also the perfect assistant to my grandma before she tried to kill them all.

Chance: Yeah. You think she’s putting on some sort of act?

Summer: She seems genuine. But chance, I can’t help but wonder what would happen if jordan did reach out to her and start triggering claire’s old hatred for the newmans, and then my son is ground zero for that. And when I express my concerns to kyle, he just– he tells me I’m overreacting.

Chance: Oh. Yeah, co-parenting requires a certain amount of respect if it’s gonna work.

Summer: Yeah, you would think. But he won’t even consider rethinking hiring claire, even though it was supposed to be on a trial basis.

Chance: Do you regret agreeing to it?

Summer: I feel like I was guilted into it. Like I had to somehow prove that claire is an accepted and trusted part of the newman family. And to do that, I have to let her look after my son?

Chance: Yeah, no one should force you into a decision that important.

Summer: I know. But whatever reservations I have, it is impossible to deny how much claire means to harrison. Being around her makes him feel like they’re both safe, free from jordan and.. I– I want him to have that peace of mind.

Chance: What about your peace of mind?

Summer: How can I have peace of mind? When the very reason I agreed to hire claire is part of why I wanted to say no?

Victoria: I know you are probably right. I’m just really glad that claire is settling in enough to make some real friends.

Cole: So, no more worrying?

Victoria: No, no more worrying. When did you get so wise?

Cole: I’m just trying to be a good dad.

Victoria: You’re a great dad.

[ Cell phone buzzes ] What was that about?

Cole: Well, I am sure that it’s nothing, but I do have to take off. I’m gonna check back in with you and claire later.

Victoria: Oh, okay, well, um, thank you for coming by. I know that it meant a lot to claire and to me.

Traci: A twin brother who is a sociopath? Well, this is not as unlikely as it sounds.

Ashley: I was married to somebody in that situation. I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.

Alan: I’m sorry to hear that. Um, I’m sorry my brother found his way into your life.

Traci: I assume you’re not close?

Alan: Not any longer, no. Um, martin always had sociopathic tendencies. He was in and out of therapy. His whole childhood is on various anti-psychotic medications. When he was taking effective medication regularly, he was a– a sweet, loving boy that grew into a man I was proud to call my brother.

Traci: But when he wasn’t on his medication?

Alan: When he was off his meds, he became belligerent, rebellious. I mean, just so much anger. Watching martin, trying to process what he was going through, trying to understand him, trying to help him, that’s why I became a psychologist.

Ashley: But, we’ve known each other a long time. Why did you never tell me you had a brother?

Alan: Well, we had a pretty big falling out.

Traci: What happened?

Alan: We lived in a house outside of paris together, mainly so I could monitor him, you know, but he was doing well. He was taking his medication regularly. He was thriving. I was so impressed, I offered him a job transcribing my handwritten notes of my sessions. It was a solitary job, but one martin embraced.

Traci: Did something change?

Alan: Yeah, I didn’t foresee something I should’ve thought of. Some of those sessions involved patients that underwent severe trauma, and when he read that, he flipped out. He– he accused me of playing god with their lives and controlling his. He became angry, resentful. He went off his medication. I tried to have a conversation with him, but then, manically, he demanded I cure him on the spot, and when I told him that that’s not how therapy works, he became enraged. Violent.

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Chance: Wait a second. Are you jealous?

Summer: Look, I– I know how stupid it is. I know, and I hate even hearing the word. I– I do, but I mean, if I’m honest, yes. I’m– I’m mom. I’m the one that has to make him eat his vegetables and brush his teeth and go to bed on time. Claire is all new and exciting.

Chance: Hey, you know your kid is crazy about you, right?

Summer: I don’t wanna feel this way. I don’T. I– I was never jealous of the last nanny. I wasn’t, but she also wasn’t this bright and shiny claire.

Chance: Who just so happens to have a dark and scary past.

Summer: You understand?

Chance: I mean, yeah, look, all harrison sees is a fun new friend. Well, you know what this friend was capable of in the past, right? So, to see harrison get excited about claire when you know the truth, I mean, sure, that’s gonna cause some complicated feelings.

Summer: Exactly. I mean, claire showed up this morning at the house with brownies, harrison was practically doing cartwheels. As harrison’s nanny? You just said how sweet she is.

Mariah: I just– her history, you know? That doesn’t make you worry? A teensy bit?

Kyle: No. There’s no dark side waiting to come out. Claire has gotten the help she needs, worked through her demons, and she’s all the stronger for it.

Mariah: And summer just accepted this?

Kyle: Not at first. It took some time, but I got her to see the truth. Look, bottom line is harrison adores her. He feels safe around her, happy. Isn’t that what’s supposed to matter?

Tessa: Um, does she have any experience with children?

Kyle: She’s done some research. She’s focused, intuitive, thoughtful. She has this energy she brings to everything. And not just interacting with harrison. It’s the way she lives her life. Like, even a trip to crimson lights is an adventure. She takes joy in the simplest things. It’s charming, inspiring, even, to see how positive she is.

Mariah: Wow. Seems like harrison isn’t the only one who thinks that claire is very special.

Claire: Success.

Victoria: Oh, you were able to get the book?

Claire: I was. And another one. It’s interactive, it’s perfect for kids harrison’s age. I just always wanna be ready for the next question ’cause he’s so curious.

Victoria: Looks like the newman work ethic is alive and well.

Claire: I may have learned a thing or two from watching my mom work.

Victoria: So you’re a big fan of kyle.

Claire: Yeah, he’s great. He accepts me and he’s been so supportive. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a lot of fun. I mean, I wouldn’t have this job if it wasn’t for him.

Victoria: I’m happy that he convinced summer to hire you. I have known kyle a long time. He’s a complex guy.

Claire: If you’re worried that I’m overstepping and expecting my new boss to be my best friend, I’m not.

Victoria: No, I’m not worried. I’m not. I just– I would like for you to have friends outside of work. For your world to be full and rounded.

Claire: I want that too. But right now, my only focus is on being a part of this family and living a life that I can be proud of.

Ashley: Did martin attack you?

Alan: Uh, yes. He can be quite violent when he’s off his medication. But I was able to subdue him eventually.

Traci: I– I’m so sorry. What happened?

Alan: Well, I tried to get him back on medication, and then I began investigating inpatient facilities.

Ashley: What happened? He didn’t like that?

Alan: Yeah. He took it as a complete betrayal. We had a huge argument and he just– he ran off. I spent two years using private investigators trying to find him, but, uh… well, I began to realize it was becoming an obsession and unhealthy, so I let it go.

Traci: Not being able to help your brother, it must be so painful for you.

Alan: Yeah. There are times when I still feel like I failed him completely.

Ashley: Have you seen him since then?

[ Alan sighs ]

Alan: No, no. But since it seems you’ve met with martin recently in the bar, he’s obviously still around. Which also means that, uh, he’s keeping track of my connections.

Ashley: He’s keeping track of me. You didn’t live this strong,

Traci: Alan, why do you think he’s keeping track of your connections?

Alan: My phone. When I was in florence that week that ashley was here, I stupidly left it at my house and I guess martin got in and accessed my phone, maybe got a hold of my contacts.

Traci: Well, that would certainly explain why you remember having a phone conversation with alan.

Alan: It is possible that martin answered the phone pretending to be me and then went to go meet you.

Ashley: And then my picture probably popped up on your phone and that’s how he recognized me in the bar.

Alan: Yeah. But we have a mystery to solve. We have to get a better understanding of what could have caused your did.

Ashley: And that mystery has everything to do with your brother.

Alan: Well, we don’t know the extent of his involvement yet at this point, but right now my focus is you. And that is not gonna change.

Tessa: Well, I am gonna get back to work. I am just so glad to hear that harrison is doing well. Give him a hug for me.

Kyle: I will. Hm.

Mariah: Did you clock the look?

Kyle: Hard to miss.

Mariah: Yeah. I just feel like I’m asking the questions that need to be asked.

Kyle: Hm, but do they?

Mariah: I’m just trying to understand what’s going on here, kyle.

Kyle: Really? Because it sounds like you’re judging.

Mariah: No, no. Absolutely no judgment here. Of course, I think that claire deserves a second chance. I told her that myself.

Kyle: But?

[ Mariah sighs ]

Mariah: I hate that I’m even saying this, but I feel for summer on this one. I mean, she’s so protective of harrison.

Kyle: And I’m not?

Mariah: I’m just saying, as aria’s mom, I would want the best possible candidate as a nanny for her. Maybe not someone whose aunt had just kidnapped my child.

Kyle: Mariah, the nanny was kidnapped too.

Mariah: And that makes it better?

Kyle: Okay. Okay. I get it. Summer questioned my judgment too.

Mariah: And look, this is nothing against claire, okay? I just– there’s– there’s a lot of young women out there who are qualified. You know, maybe not someone who’s just getting a grip on her new reality.

Kyle: You know, I’ve gotten to know claire. She has succeeded against all odds. Her strength, her honesty, her intense desire to do the right thing, that’s who I’m entrusting harrison with. You have to believe it. If I thought there was the slightest possible risk, I wouldn’t push for this.

Mariah: All of this admiration for claire… is there maybe something else going on?

Victoria: I’m sorry if you thought that I was being a–

Claire: A mom? I love it. And I do kind of know how you feel when I question you about dad now.

Victoria: Oh, about our intentions towards one another?

Claire: Something like that. When I asked you about dad, I wasn’t overstepping, was I?

Victoria: No. No, of course not. You’re– you’re my daughter. We can talk about anything, really. You could ask me anything. And I hope that you’re okay with me asking you questions.

Claire: Yes, I love our conversations. What you think about everything, what makes you laugh. This might sound kind of weird, but… somehow I feel like I’ve always known you. I feel like I’ve known you all my life. It’s kind of weird, though, ’cause we’ve only actually been family for a few months.

Victoria: It’s not– it’s not weird. It’s not weird. It’s just, you know, it’s that mother-daughter thing. It’s like the best thing in the whole world. And I, you know, I hope that you’ll always feel free to be open and honest with me about anything. Anything that’s on your mind.

Claire: Good, because I do have a question for you. Did dad really show up for me or was I just a good excuse for him to stop by to see you?

Cole: Hey, victor. You wanted to see me?

Victor: Cole. You got here rather quickly. I assume you were on the property somewhere.

Cole: At the tack house.

Victor: Yeah.

Cole: Victoria and i were eager to hear about claire’s first day on the new job. She knocked it out of the park.

Victor: Yeah. I saw claire earlier, I’m aware.

Cole: But I assume that you didn’t summon me here to talk about my daughter.

Victor: So, cole… I want to talk to you about your betrayal. Or do you think I’d forgotten? Hi. What’s your name?

Cole: I didn’t betray you, victor. I wanted to protect you, protect the family. From what might have happened if jordan were discovered in that cage downstairs.

Victor: I protect my family.

Cole: There’s nothing wrong with a little help from someone every once in a while.

Victor: So, you followed me in my own home. A home to which I had welcomed you.

Cole: I just hope that you can see that my actions were merely trying to repay you for your kindness.

Victor: You went behind my back. You were about to free jordan.

Cole: No, not free her, victor. To get her into a legitimate maximum security facility where she can’t hurt us anymore. And also, just equally as important, is so that you couldn’t be prosecuted for holding her prisoner.

Victor: Stop giving me excuses.

Cole: Michael and I were only trying to help.

Victor: For your information, I fired michael baldwin for his part in this.

Cole: Well, I– I’m really sorry to hear that. But you can’t fire me.

Victor: I can tell you to stay away from my family. And stay the hell away from my daughter.

Victoria: Your father, he couldn’t wait to hear about your first day as harrison’s nanny, so he was here for you.

Claire: And maybe you.

Victoria: Well, maybe. Maybe just a little bit. But he really was very concerned about how the jordan news would affect you, so he wanted to see for himself that you were okay.

Claire: I am. I worry about the impact on nikki, but other than that, jordan’s in the past. I feel strong. I’m so excited about our family. The future. That’s all I care about.

Kyle: Is that what you think? I’m crushing on the nanny? My son was just kidnapped. I am trying very hard to co-parent with summer and working with my mother is next level impossible. So why would you even go there?

Mariah: Uh, she’s pretty, smart, fun…

Kyle: I hired claire for harrison. My son feels safe around her. I couldn’t ask for anything more as a parent. So, do you have any other questions?

Mariah: Nope. Asked and answered.

Kyle: Hm.

Mariah: Kyle, I sincerely hope that claire is everything you’ve said. And that she’s a perfect fit for harrison.

Kyle: She is. As long as summer doesn’t change her mind.

Summer: Of course you don’t have any reason to worry about kyle and me.

Chance: Okay, I’m just making sure. ‘Cause I’m, uh, I’m pretty darn happy, I’m not gonna lie.

Summer: I am too. It’s really– it’s not that kind of jealousy. It’S… like the other day, I ran into kyle and harrison and claire here in the park and they had just gotten off the ferris wheel. And they were all laughing and having this great time.

Chance: You wanted to be a part of that?

Summer: Kyle told me later that harrison was so excited to go on the ferris wheel. That he wanted to invite claire along with him. Not me. Not mom. It was claire that he wanted to call.

Chance: And you’re starting to feel like you’re on the outside looking in. Well…

Alan: Do you remember anything else that happened with my brother that night?

Ashley: I don’t remember anything else! I’m sorry. Look, it’s just a complete blank.

Traci: Okay, alan, what are you thinking?

Alan: Well, given what martin can be like when he’s off his medication, I believe that something traumatic might’ve happened between him and ashley that night.

Ashley: Why wasn’t I afraid of you? I mean, if something traumatic happened and I thought you were him, then wouldn’t I be afraid of you?

Alan: Uh, I don’t know. I– I guess it depends on what trauma actually occurred.

Traci: But if you find that out, it will not only help ashley, it will also lead you back to your brother.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Sally: Thank you for meeting with me.

Nick: Of course, anytime.

Sally: So, what’s going on?

Nick: Ah, you know, Newman family. There’s never a dull moment.

Sally: Yeah, yeah, Adam told me about them finding the… Jordan.

Nick: Yeah, it seems Jordan’s got more lives than a cat. So what’s up? What, uh, what’s on your mind?

Sally: Well… Okay, um…

Nick: You seem nervous.

Sally: Is it that obvious?

Nick: Sally, it’s me. Come on. You know you can talk to me about anything.

Sally: I do, yeah. It’s just that this is not gonna… It’s gonna be a very difficult conversation.

Nick: Oh. It’s one of those, huh?

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: All right, well… Let’s just get into it.

Sally: So I have some good news… And some bad news. Which one do you want first? ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

Tucker: So, all the names on that list are companies now under the Glissade umbrella. I would like you to contact the CEO of each of them. And tell them to cancel any current or upcoming meetings with Audra Charles.

Haley: Should I give a reason?

Tucker: Just tell them the order comes directly from me and… That Ms. Charles no longer has any association whatsoever with the company. Okay. Thank you. Game on, Audra.

Audra: No, this one looks like I’m gonna a funeral. Hmm. Not bad. This one says, trust me, I’m in charge. Forget about that deadbeat Tucker McCall.

Audra: This is Audra Charles. Yes, Mr. Lemaire. I’m so looking forward to our meeting tomorrow. How is your lovely wife, Danielle? Oh, I’m so pleased to hear. So, about tomorrow… What, you can’t? May I ask why? Tucker McCall did what? There must be some sort of misunderstanding. No, no, no, Mr. Lemaire. Let me try and work this out. Let’s keep that meeting on the– It’s– it’s a mistake. Okay, no. I– I understand. Goodbye. I see what you’re up to, Mr. McCall. And if you think you can get away with this, you’ve underestimated me again.

Ashley: I know I spoke with you that evening.

Alan: Well, it– it’s impossible, Ashley. I was not in Paris that week.

Ashley: I cannot be wrong about one of the few things I remember.

Alan: Okay, let– let’s just go back and, um…

Ashley: I am going back, Alan.

Traci: Okay, so– so you were leaving the bistro after Tucker stormed out.

Ashley: I told you this. I went for a walk and I called Alan. Clearly, you don’t believe me.

Alan: No, we’re just trying to piece this together, okay? The mind can play tricks with memories and moments at the best of times. And you– you were under a lot of duress. You took a big leap of faith, marrying Tucker, and then you saw it all unravel in a very short period of time.

Traci: Yes, yes, that’s true.

Ashley: Okay, then obviously, you think I’m wrong.

Traci: No, no, no. That’s not what you mean, is it, Alan.

Alan: Not at all. We’re just trying to piece this all together, okay? So, Ashley, after the bistro, do you remember where you went?

Ashley: I went for a walk, Alan.

Alan: Okay.

Ashley: I told you this.

Alan: All right, just imagine walking. Do you see yourself arriving anywhere or something like that?

Ashley: I stopped in at a bar and I had a glass of Bordeaux and I remembered how much you like Bordeaux, correct?

Alan: Yes.

Ashley: Okay, and that’s when I called you and I asked you to join me.

Alan: Um, did you talk to me or did you leave a message?

Ashley: Why are you testing me like this? Because you don’t believe me?

Alan: That is not my intention, I–

Ashley: You don’t think I’m telling you the truth, but I am. You and I were together that night. I know it happened.

Nick: So it’s a good news, bad news thing. All right, well, I’m gonna let you choose which one you wanna dig into.

Sally: Okay. So, Chelsea is taking a leave of absence from Marchetti to focus on Connor. And Summer wants me to fill in.

Nick: She does?

Sally: Yeah. Miracle, right?

Nick: Uh, yeah, I’m very surprised considering the issues you’ve had. But I’m happy for you. Um, also very proud of Summer for letting bygones be bygones.

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: I’m taking it this was the good news portion.

Sally: It is, yeah.

Nick: I guess the next question is what does this mean for your design company?

Sally: That is the bad news.

Nick: Yeah, kinda had a feeling that was it.

Sally: Look, I really tried to keep it going. I really did, but the current was always against us. We could just never find our footing.

Nick: And I’m sure it didn’t help that Dad wouldn’t fold your company into Newman Enterprises.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, though, that was probably for the best because Victor and I would’ve butted heads from the beginning. He’s never gonna trust me.

Nick: Yeah, I’m sorry about that, Sal.

Sally: But I will pay you back.

Nick: You don’t have to.

Sally: No, I promise. Every cent.

Nick: No, you don’t have to do that.

Sally: But Nick…

Nick: Sally, what I did was not a loan. It was an investment. And sometimes investments fail. That is the way the business world works.

Sally: Yes, I know. But you had faith in me and you put money behind that faith. And I can’t help feeling like I– I’m letting you down.

Traci: Ashley, it’s not because we don’t believe you. We’re just trying to help you remember.

Ashley: And I remember speaking with you that night, Alan. But you’re telling me that’s impossible because you were in Florence. So what am I doing? Am I just blocking everything out for some reason? What? What are you thinking?

Alan: I– I just– I had an idea.

Traci: About what, Alan?

Ashley: About how pointless it is to try to dig memories out of a black hole.

Traci: Ashley, don’t say that.

Alan: Do you remember the name of the bar?

Ashley: I don’t know.

Alan: Well, if we went back there, do you think maybe we could find it?

Ashley: What difference would it make? If I remember a name or whatever, it means I’m hallucinating or fantasizing. Maybe you should just go ahead and institutionalize me after all.

Traci: Ashley, stop it. That is not what’s going to happen. We came all this way to help you. We are going to get to the bottom of what’s going on with you. And quitting is not an option.

Alan: I think we should focus on that night. If you can recapture your memory of it, it might hold the key to everything.

Haley: I’ve called all the names on the list.

Tucker: Fantastic. Now, please book a meeting with the board of directors.

Haley: What’s the topic?

Tucker: The order of business is to officially and permanently remove Audra Charles from the board.

Audra: Yes, I understand. Uh, when can we reschedule? But I’ve been your point person from the beginning. Tucker McCall has never even seen your company. Let me guess. You’re cancelling the meeting. Cancelled. Cancelled. Cancelled! No, before you hang up and make a terrible mistake, I’d like to let you in on a little secret. As you may recall, Tucker McCall was recently exposed as having knowledge of a horrible scandal at his previous company. He hoped that little problem would go away, but it hasn’t. So, he’ll be stepping down as CEO of Glissade. I’ll be taking control of the company very soon. No matter what Tucker tells you. Yeah, that’s right. I’ll be the next CEO.

Nick: Sally, you didn’t let me down in any way, shape, or form.

Sally: Yeah, but I feel like I did. I came to you with all these stars in my eyes, and I–

Nick: You also came to me with a solid business plan, with a five-year projection of where you thought your company was going to be.

Sally: Which turned out to be nowhere.

Nick: Again, not your fault. Businesses fail. That’s what happens for a number of reasons. It could be the economy. It could just be bad timing. It could be because there’s a stubborn businessman who’s holding a grudge.

Sally: Yeah, well, one of Victor’s many legacies.

Nick: Let me ask you this. Did you give it everything you had?

Sally: Seven days a week.

Nick: Then you don’t owe anything to anyone. Especially me.

Sally: I still wanna pay you back.

Nick: Not gonna happen.

Sally: Nick, it is important to me.

Nick: Sally, I’m not taking your money. So, deal with it. What I want is for you to focus all of your talents and energy into Marchetti. And they’re gonna be very lucky to have you.

Sally: You’re amazing, Nick.

Nick: I mean, it’s kind of the rumor.

Sally: I mean it. Seriously, I mean, most exes, they wouldn’t be so generous or kind. Especially after the way things ended with us.

Nick: Well, I’m not one of those businessmen who hold a grudge.

Sally: You’re more than that. You’re a really great friend.

Nick: I am, uh, curious. Why did Summer agree to take you on at Marchetti?

Sally: Well, it didn’t take much convincing, actually. Um, it was more we had to get past our grudges, which she had some pretty legitimate ones against me. So once I let her get those off of her chest, including how I treated you…

Nick: She went there?

Sally: She did. Yeah, she did. And I– I almost let her have it.

Nick: Almost?

Sally: Mm-hmm, yes, but once I promised her that I would be on my best behavior, she offered me the job. Probably helps that it’s temporary, and that she has to get a line into production and– and lost her creative director. And I also get the feeling that she just has a lot on her plate and just really wanted one less thing to worry about.

Nick: It’s been a pretty rough time for her lately.

Sally: Yeah, I can only imagine. But I’m really thankful for the chance.

Nick: Well, I would say good luck, but I suspect you’re not gonna need it.

Sally: Thank you, Nick. For everything.

Nick: I’m always in your corner. No matter what, you don’t have to worry about that.

Nick: All right, bye.

Sally: Okay, bye. Okay…

Audra: Hello.

Sally: Bonjour.

Audra: Hey, Sally, what’s up?

Sally: Well, I don’t really wanna interrupt your croissants and champagne, but do you have a minute for some good news?

Audra: You have no idea how desperately I need that right now.

Sally: Well, you are speaking to the new creative director of Marchetti.

Audra: Shut up. Really? Wow, congratulations.

Sally: Thank you. Yeah, I mean, it’s just an interim position until Chelsea Lawson comes back, but hey, at least it’s a foot back in the fashion door.

Audra: Well, I am thrilled for you.

Sally: Thank you.

Audra: And forget interim. You’re gonna be running that place before long.

Sally: Yeah, well, I’m not gonna get too ahead of myself. I mean, I’m just really grateful for the shot. Ah, it doesn’t sound like things are going as well for you in Paris.

Audra: Ugh. Well, you know, just Tucker trying to scorch the earth and erase me from the company.

Sally: Can he legally do that?

Audra: He’s gonna give it his best effort, but I’m not gonna give up. I’ll never give him that satisfaction.

Tucker: Excuse me. Hey, Alan. How’s it going? Where’s…

Ashley: Let’s do this.

Alan: What, now?

Ashley: Yeah. I might not remember the name of the bar, but I think I can find it.

Alan: Well, uh, I mean, maybe we should do this fresh. We just had a long trip. I– I think we should do it in the morning.

Ashley: No, I don’t wanna sleep. I’m afraid of what might happen. Let’s go now.

Alan: You’re exhausted, Ashley, you need some rest. I mean, the more tired you are, the less likely you are to figure this out.

Ashley: Alan, you’ve been telling me for minutes that we need to do this. We need to get to the bottom of it, and now you’re trying to talk me out of it. What’s going on with you?

Alan: I’m only thinking about you, Ashley. I have no other agenda.

Ashley: Perfect. Then we’re gonna do this tonight. I’ll make coffee.

Traci: All right, what– what’s going on, Alan?

Alan: Traci, I just–

Traci: No, no, I saw your face when she said that she was with you that night. What are you thinking?

Alan: Uh, I’m thinking maybe her blackouts started earlier than we thought.

Traci: But you said that they were caused by some traumatic event.

Alan: Yes, that’s true.

Traci: And I thought we had already sort of agreed that the argument with Tucker was not that event. I mean, even Ashley says that it wasn’t what she thought at first, and the wait staff confirms it. So was the argument with Tucker the thing that caused the other personalities?

Alan: Uh, it’s possible, but it’s very, very unlikely.

Traci: Okay, then why would Ashley have a blackout that night? What happened to her that would shake her up so much?

Sally: Okay, you’re gonna have to catch me up on the latest between you and Tucker because you left for Paris before we had a chance to talk.

Audra: Well, we are officially, definitely done.

Sally: Well, yeah, I mean, that much I figured, but what about everything else?

Audra: I came to Paris to make that move on Glissade I told you about.

Sally: But how? I mean, doesn’t Tucker have complete control?

Audra: Well, I’m still a member of the board, so that gives me some leverage. Although I’m sure he’s trying to figure out a way to get rid of me there, too.

Sally: So what else can you do, then?

Audra: Use Tucker’s complete lack of people skills against him. You know, I’m the one who’s been meeting with these European hotshots doing all the hard work while Tucker stayed in the background. I’m the one they know. I’m the one they listen to.

Sally: But what happens when Tucker finds out what you’re up to?

Audra: Oh, he already knows. And he’s coming after me with everything he’s got.

Tucker: I don’t get it.

Haley: Do you need something?

Tucker: Oh, no, no. It’s nothing to do with you. I’m just– I ran into this person I know, this guy Alan, on the street earlier, and he completely ignored me. He seemed to lack any recognition of me whatsoever. Anyway, I think I’m gonna go for a walk, clear my head a little. You good?

Haley: I’m good.

Tucker: Good.

Audra: Look, I don’t believe this. You checked into the same hotel? Is this part of your plan to keep tabs on me for the rest of my life?

Tucker: Need I remind you that you’re the one who keeps inserting yourself into my orbit?

Audra: Only because you refuse to acknowledge my right to be a part of this company.

Tucker: You have no rights. And whatever rights you have are determined by me, and I’ve decided you have none. As of now, you don’t exist at Glissade.

Audra: Okay, if you think canceling my meetings is gonna stop me, you’re mistaken.

Tucker: You’re making a fool of yourself here.

Audra: And you keep forgetting. I know where you keep all your dirty laundry.

Tucker: I’m terrified.

Audra: You think you’ve got all your bases covered, Tucker, but you don’t.

Tucker: Well, if you’re referring to your position on the board of directors, that technicality will be solved momentarily.

Audra: Really?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Audra: Do you think that they’re still gonna let you do that after I tell them what your plans are? To break all the companies down into small, bite-sized pieces, and then sell them off to the highest bidder. I know you told them that you wanted to grow their businesses, build them all up. Which we both know is a lie. I can show them what you’re really gonna do because I wrote your damn prospectus, Tucker. What? Have I finally gotten your attention?

Tucker: Okay, what’s it gonna take for you to back off?

Victor: But we were talking about that deal in Taiwan. What? Don’t you think it’s time… Huh? Uh, listen, I– I’ll call you back later. Bye. Hi, son. What brings you by?

Nick: I just wanted to come by and see how everybody’s doing. Where’s Mom?

Victor: She is at an outpatient session.

Nick: And she’s doing all right?

Victor: Yeah. Have a seat, son.

Nick: All right. I was just worried about how she’d… you know, take the news that Jordan was found alive.

Victor: Yeah. Well, I told her about that, and she, of course, was shocked. But you know, she knows that Jordan is now put away for good.

Nick: Let’s hope that’s true.

Victor: Well, I’ve seen the facility. Trust me, it’s like Fort Knox. Not gonna get out of that. No way. Let her rot in hell in there.

Nick: I don’t know. I guess I thought you’d be more relieved about that.

Victor: Gotta be honest with you, I’m a little worried about your brother Adam.

Nick: What’s going on with Adam? I know that he and Chelsea were flying out to see Connor. Have you heard from them? Did something happen?

Victor: Uh-uh. Not heard from them. And you just mentioned Connor. I’m worried about him, too.

Nick: Yeah. It’s awful, seeing your kid hurting and realizing there isn’t anything you can do to fix it.

Victor: Yeah.

Nick: We’ve both been there.

Victor: We certainly have, my boy. But, you know, Adam, I think, just had made wonderful progress. And I– I’m so proud of him. Didn’t you feel that he had made progress?

Nick: Yes. I can also admit that I was wrong to assume that it would never be possible.

Victor: Yeah, well, I’m afraid that this could– could crush him again, you know? Lead him back into darkness.

Audra: So, does this mean you’re finally giving up?

Tucker: I just wanna make this as painless for you as possible.

Audra: Yeah, don’t do me any favors.

Tucker: Would you like me to buy you out? In my opinion, that would be–

Audra: That is so sweet, Tucker. You’re always looking out for me.

Tucker: I’d make you a fair offer.

Audra: You still don’t understand, do you? What I want is for me to win and for you to lose, and I would like that to happen as quickly as possible.

Tucker: You’re gonna walk away with nothing.

Audra: Well, that remains to be seen.

Tucker: Why? Why so vindictive?

Audra: This has nothing to do with vengeance. Hey, that’s your game and your weakness.

Tucker: What is it you want?

Audra: I want Glissade. I want it all.

Ashley: I was just thinking to myself. What caused me to black out that night? You know?

Traci: We were just asking that same question ourselves.

Ashley: Okay, when I go back to that evening and I– I left Tucker in the bistro, I was angry with him and upset, but I wasn’t afraid of him or his rage. At that point, I still knew what had actually happened. I mean, it later became morphed into something more terrifying. So something must’ve happened that colored everything else after that.

Traci: That is such a brave and important realization.

Alan: Yeah, uh, the question is, when and why did the change take place?

Ashley: That’s what we’re gonna find out.

Traci: Are you absolutely sure that you’re ready to do this right now?

Ashley: I am. And I know you have every reason to doubt what I say and what I do, but I promise you, I am me. And those other personalities, they– they’re trying to protect me. They don’t want me to find out the truth, but I have to, and I have to do it now, because I know that I’m closer than ever to getting the answers.

Sally: Chloe. Hey.

Chloe: Hey back.

Sally: Look, I– I– I hate the way things ended last time we talked.

Chloe: Okay.

Sally: I want to apologize. And to let you know that I am starting work at Marchetti, and I will find a way to bring you in.

Chloe: Fat chance of that.

Sally: No, hey, if Summer could let me work for her, why not you?

Chloe: Because she needs you more than she needs me.

Sally: But what if I need you?

Chloe: Really? You mean that?

Sally: Yeah, I miss you.

Chloe: Well, it hasn’t been that long.

Sally: And I– I do miss you giving me a hard time about Adam.

Chloe: Well, I would gladly do that, even if we aren’t speaking. I mean, I can send you daily emails.

Sally: Seriously, how am I supposed to do this job without my best partner? And my best friend.

Chloe: You know, I’ve been trying to think of an excuse to call you, but…

In unison: Stubborn.

Chloe: It hurts to have to close our business. Even though I know deep down it is the right thing to do. And I took that out on you. And I’m really sorry.

Sally: And I’m really sorry for not being more sensitive and seeming like I was throwing my new job in your face.

Chloe: I really am happy for you. You know, you are going to knock them dead at Marchetti. Summer is so lucky to have you.

Sally: Thank you. But in the end, it’s just a job. And they come and go. But good friends… good friends are forever.

Nick: Dad, I think you’re wrong about Adam.

Victor: You do?

Nick: Yeah. The situation with Connor is tough, but… I think instead of breaking Adam, I think this is gonna make him stronger.

Victor: Surprised to hear you say that.

Nick: I’ve been watching him, you know. The way he handles things now. Particularly when things aren’t going his way. Instead of burning everything down the way he’s done in the past, he just sort of takes a step back, listens. I give Sally the credit for that.

Victor: Well, I have a different opinion about that, but, you know…

Nick: Look, I know you don’t like Sally, but can you just admit that they’re good for each other?

Victor: Let’s just agree to disagree about Sally. What’s far more important is what actually warms my heart, is that the bond between you and your brother’s growing stronger.

Nick: Yeah, I never thought it was possible.

Victor: You know, he craves your approval more than anyone’s.

Nick: Well, I don’t know if I’d go that far, but we’re in a good place. And this thing with Connor is just– I mean, it’s the worst. I’ve told him repeatedly, you know, if there’s anything I can do to help, he just has to ask.

Victor: You know, I sometimes never thought that I’d see the day where you and Adam began to respect each other. Really, it makes a big difference in my heart, okay? I know that if we as a family stand together, nothing would bother us. We’d conquer anything.

Tucker: So you intend to take over Glissade from me?

Audra: That’s right.

Tucker: Sure. Piece of cake.

Audra: I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. I know you have all your guns pointed in my direction. But I’m not gonna be intimidated, and in the end, I’ll win for one simple reason.

Tucker: And what’s that?

Audra: I want it more than you.

Tucker: I think you’ve clearly shown that you don’t know what it is I truly want it. And how hard I’m willing to fight for it.

Audra: Glissade was nothing more than a rebound play for you. You struck out at Chancellor-Winters. You struck out at Jabot. So this was supposed to be your consolation prize. Oh, and it was all gonna be for Ashley.

Tucker: So, uh, just the other day when, uh– when Ashley came to me and yet again tried to convince me that she and I belong together, and I turned her down flat without hesitation. Because despite all this I love you. Was I lying to myself? Maybe you’re the one engaged in self-deception.

Audra: Am I? You came up with the idea to pour new life into Glissade with Ashley. Then you try to reboot it to try to prove something to Ashley. Okay, I don’t have any of that baggage weighing me down. For me, it’s just about the company. You know, if you were a decent ex-partner, you’d just let me have it. Your obsession is still with Ashley, and that will never change. Which is fine with me because she clearly needs you much more than I ever will.

Traci: So, Ashley, this is the fifth bar we’ve been to. You sure you don’t wanna just call it a night? Ashley?

Ashley: This is it.

Alan: Are you sure?

Ashley: Yeah, I’m positive.

Alan: Well, what– what do you remember?

Ashley: We sat right over there.

Alan: Okay. Um, what else?

Ashley: Okay, um… I called you, you joined me, we had a glass of Bordeaux, and I was wearing the same thing I had worn when I was at the bistro with Tucker. So that means that whatever happened had to be that same night.

Alan: Uh, all right, but do you remember any part of the conversation we had, or…?

Ashley: Because you don’t remember because you weren’t there.

Alan: Look, Ashley, let’s– let’s just try to get through this, okay? Just remember as best as you can.

Ashley: All right, it wasn’t anything terrible or intense. Uh, I told you about Tucker’s ultimatum. I realized that I couldn’t separate from my family or the company, and you were indignant on my behalf. You completely supported my decision. We had another glass of wine, I think. And then…

Alan: Yeah, and then what– what– what else? What happened?

Ashley: I don’t know.

Traci: Ashley, try, try. You’re so close.

Ashley: It’s just a blank.

Alan: Okay, well, I think we should take this table because, um, there’s something we should discuss.

Chloe: You know, I do miss the fashion world, but I don’t know. I– I think you’re being overly optimistic about Summer bringing me in at Marchetti.

Sally: Hey, let me handle that part.

Chloe: I burned a really big bridge.

Sally: Yeah, well, I torpedoed that same bridge, and Summer still brought me back. Yes, she will probably have me on a short leash, but since hell was already frozen over, we might as well take a shot.

Chloe: Thank you.

Sally: Well, it hasn’t happened yet. So thank me afterward.

Chloe: Yeah, but I just– you know, I really appreciate it even being asked. And I’m even happier that I have my friend back.

Sally: We’re a team, remember? We work better together. And we will convince Summer that it is a smart, creative move to hire us both. But you have to be all in.

Chloe: I can do that.

Sally: All right. Let’s do this. Okay…

Tucker: Hey, Ashley. Uh, I know you’re in Paris. And as it happens, I’m in Paris, too. Actually, no, um… As luck would have it, I ran into your friend Alan on the street, but he acted like I was a complete stranger, no recognition of me whatsoever. I just hope that doesn’t mean that… Well, anyway, I hope everything is working out for you and, uh, that you’re find the answers you’re looking for. Bye.

Alan: Let’s get back to the time you called me to meet me here.

Ashley: Alan, I called you. You joined me. We had some wine.

Alan: Okay, what else do you remember?

Ashley: What is going on with you? Because obviously something is.

Alan: I’m just concerned, all right? A friend of mine says she met me here during the week I wasn’t even in the country.

Ashley: It’s something more, and I’ve been sensing it all evening. What’s going on?

Traci: I have, too, Alan. Please, look, we came all this way for the truth. We put our entire trust in you. Don’t hold anything back from us now, please.

Alan: Okay. You say you called me to meet me here. Have a glass of wine together. But the truth is, Ashley, I’ve never been in this bar before in my life.
