Young & The Restless Transcript
Transcript provided by Suzanne
Cole: So, claire didn’t tell anyone she was going out by herself?
Victoria: Just one of the guards. But she wouldn’t say where she was going, which put all of these horrible thoughts into my head.
Cole: About jordan?
Victoria: She’s out there somewhere.
Cole: Yeah, I know. And I completely understand why everyone is on such high alert. But the whole world is looking for jordan. I mean, she can’t hide forever.
Victoria: I know that. But every time we find her, she seems to slip away. She’s evil, cole. She’s diabolical. Sometimes, I wonder if she’s even human. And when I couldn’t find claire, I–
Cole: Okay, but it worked out. She came home.
Victoria: Yeah, this time.
Cole: We can’t keep her in a bubble, vic. She’s not a little girl anymore. She is a grown woman who’s trying to overcome a lifetime of brainwashing. So, she’s– she’s– she’s hoping that she can find her place in this world. I mean, she has a new home, a new family, not to mention there’s a crazy woman out there somewhere who’s planning god knows what. It is a lot to throw at somebody all at once. And I think claire is handling it beautifully. I mean, she’s smart, she’s careful, she’s resourceful. And she’s a lot stronger than we think. So, I say, let’s give her some slack. I’m sorry. That? Was I delivering a sermon just now?
Victoria: No. Once again, you were– you were telling me exactly what I needed to hear.
Mariah: Oh, my god, we got it.
Tessa: No.
Mariah: Yeah! Oh, my god! That’s amazing!
Victoria: I wonder what that’s all about.
Mariah: Cheers.
Phyllis: Hey.
Billy: Oh. Hey. Slow down. Bartender’s not going anywhere.
Phyllis: Just, it’s been a day.
Billy: Yeah?
Phyllis: Yeah.
Billy: I’ve had a few of those myself lately. What do you say? You want to belly up and commiserate?
Phyllis: Oh, not tonight.
Billy: Really? Old friends? Solve the world’s problems?
Phyllis: Wouldn’t that be something?
Billy: Yeah. Come on, I’m buying.
Phyllis: Maybe another time.
Billy: Just be careful, okay? Because I see you gearing up for a heck of a headache tomorrow morning, so let me do this. Let me get one of your famous hangover concoctions. I’ll get it sent up to your room. At least it’ll be there bright and early, just in case you need it. Hm? No?
Heather: We, uh, we knew this was a possibility.
Daniel: Absolutely.
Heather: So, we just have to keep remembering what’s important, which is that our family is reunited, and you and I, you and I are where we’re supposed to be, where we should have been all along.
Daniel: And we’re unemployed.
Heather: And unemployed.
Daniel: It would have been nice if this had happened before I dumped all that money into redecorating my new place.
Heather: I definitely should have gotten a less expensive car when I got back from portugal.
Daniel: Oh, lily did promise both of us severance packages.
Heather: She did, I know, but that will only last so long. We need a plan moving forward.
Daniel: Definitely need a plan.
Heather: Definitely. What’s your idea for the first move?
Daniel: I was hoping you had some ideas. Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Cole: Hey!
Mariah: Hi!
Tessa: Hi!
Victoria: So, what’s the celebration?
Cole: Yeah, did somebody win the lottery or what?
Mariah: Oh, no, so much better than that. Do you want to show ’em?
Tessa: Yeah.
Mariah: Okay.
Tessa: Here.
Victoria: Oh!
Cole: Oh, nice.
Victoria: It’s a house.
Mariah: It’s not just any house.
Tessa: It’s our house. We closed today.
Victoria: Wow! Great!
Cole: Congratulations!
Victoria: That’s wonderful.
Tessa: Thank you so much.
Mariah: Yeah, we were spending all of our spare time going to one open house after another and we just couldn’t find anything that fit.
Tessa: Yeah. Until we found this one. It has a yard and a big playroom for aria.
Mariah: And oh, there’s this little loft area. We’re going to turn this into a music room for my insanely talented wife.
Tessa: It’s just perfect.
Mariah: We are officially living the dream. Um, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize. Here we are going on and on about our new house and you just lost yours.
Victoria: No, you don’t have to apologize.
Mariah: No, victoria, it was insanely insensitive. I’m sure that was devastating.
Victoria: Yes, it was. But, um, you know, we’ll always have those memories and no one can take that away from me. And someday there will be a new house and new memories. So, you guys should enjoy this moment. I’m very happy for you. Congratulations.
Cole: Yeah.
Mariah: Thank you.
Tessa: I know what you mean about memories. I was looking around at the tack house today and it hit me all at once that this will always be aria’s first home. Her room, her crib, all those nights checking in on her to make sure she was okay.
Mariah: Oh, yeah.
Tessa: I know it’s time to leave, but it’s going to be hard, you know?
Victoria: Yes, I do know.
Cole: Well, you know, victoria and I used to live together in the tack house back in the day.
Mariah: Shut up! Really?
Cole: Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, does the upstairs shower handle still stick?
Victoria: I’m pretty sure that it’s been through a few remodels since then. You probably wouldn’t even recognize the place.
Cole: Oh, I don’t know about that. I mean, they can knock down a few walls and move some furniture around, but I’m still pretty sure that what made it a really great place is still there.
Mariah: Well, I have an idea. Why don’t you guys come see for yourselves?
Tessa: Yeah!
Cole: No, no, no, it’s okay. I’m sure you ladies have a lot of packing to do.
Mariah: No, no. We have three days until we move into the new place.
Tessa: And a bottle of champagne that we would love to share.
Mariah: Yeah, this is true. It would be our pleasure.
Victoria: So, how do you feel about a trip down memory lane?
Heather: Okay, time to get serious.
Daniel: Agreed.
Heather: I’ll give michael a call in the morning. He will know if there’s any firms around town who are looking to hire, and, uh, christine, she probably still has some connections at the da’s office. I could go back there. It’s worth a shot.
Daniel: Okay, good. Cool. And what am I going to be doing while you’re running around town prosecuting or defending criminals?
Heather: You’re going to wait for the right opportunity. I don’t want you to just have to settle on anything. I really want you to find something you’re passionate about. Like omegasphere.
Daniel: Well, that train has left the station.
Heather: I just can’t believe that you’re not feeling this more deeply.
Daniel: I am feeling it. There’s nothing I can really do about it. When I signed over omegasphere to chancellor-winters, the deal was I would continue to run it. I would no longer own it, and now I’m no longer running it either.
Heather: I don’t know who will. I mean, who do you think will?
Daniel: That’s not my choice to make.
Heather: Well, whoever they do hire, they will not have the same vision and talent that you did, and they won’t have poured their heart and their soul into that place. There’s no way they could have inspired a game like princess louisa, which you created for lucy, our daughter. Where do you find something like that?
Daniel: I don’t know. Maybe you don’T. Maybe that’s, uh, one to a customer.
Heather: I don’t believe that and I really don’t think you do deep down. Okay, this is more than just losing a job. This is like losing a part of yourself. And I understand. I’m sorry. I don’t mean to make you feel worse.
Daniel: No, you’re right. It’s fine. I mean, up until now, I hadn’t really let myself think about what I was giving up, but omegasphere, princess louisa, they helped get me through losing my family. They also helped bring both of you back to me again. I mean, that platform, that game, that was my salvation. I couldn’t replace that if I tried.
Phyllis: You used to be better at reading the room, billy.
Billy: No, I’m not an idiot. No, I get it. I know you don’t want me here, but I was just thinking maybe our snarky little back and forth could pull you out of your funk.
Phyllis: Who says I’m in a funk?
Billy: Your face does.
Phyllis: What about your funk?
Billy: Mine?
Phyllis: Yeah. Last time I talked to you, you were locked in some power struggle with the winters family. You know? That can’t be fun.
Billy: Look at us, huh? We’re having a conversation now.
Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, you are outnumbered by them. You really are. Just you against the winters family. You’re just trying to get a little credit, right? Trying to get some respect and some love. Not having any success at any turn. And then, you’re labeled difficult. Yeah. Difficult. And that’s how people see you from there on out, just difficult.
Billy: Oh, I get it. We’re not talking about me anymore, are we?
I have moderate to severe
crohn’s disease.
Billy: Thank you very much.
Phyllis: Honestly, billy, I couldn’t care less if people think that I’m difficult. You, on the other hand…
Billy: Will be just fine.
Phyllis: So you say.
Billy: Oh, I know. I will be just fine at work. That’s not gonna be a problem. It’s your son that you should be concerned about.
Phyllis: Why? What happened?
Billy: Have you not talked to daniel yet today?
Phyllis: No, no, I haven’T. Just tell me, what happened?
Billy: Well, I’m just gonna assume that you know that daniel and heather are back together.
Phyllis: I know. Yeah, of course I know. I mean, of course he– yeah. I mean, I’m gonna take a little credit for, you know, making that happen.
Billy: Yeah, that’s not surprising. Well, while you’re busy patting yourself on the back, you should know that there’s fallout to this grand love story.
Phyllis: What fallout?
Billy: Repercussions, phyllis. You know, not only to the company, but to the people involved. Like lily. She was the last one to know. And I’m sure you can appreciate she’s having a difficult time with it.
Daniel: I took my eye off the ball. When I signed away omegasphere to chancellor-winters, I thought I was gonna be building my brand and helping to secure my future. It just didn’t occur to me what I could be losing. Especially princess louisa. But, I mean, of course they’d want that, too, right? I mean, why wouldn’t they? That’s the most successful game that they have. And now they can take it and they can assign the character to anyone. They can spin her off in directions that would be totally wrong.
Heather: Because they don’t know her or who she represents.
Daniel: How did I let this happen?
Heather: No. Daniel. You didn’t do anything wrong. We didn’t do anything wrong. We fell back in love. That was our crime. And lily is going to make us pay for it by taking away the one thing that she knows will hurt us the most.
Daniel: The irony is that platform was all supposed to be about empowerment. Helping you work through your obstacles. I mean, it definitely helped me overcome mine and now it’s all being taken away from me right after it achieved its purpose of bringing my family back.
Heather: Maybe there’s a chance that we can get it back.
Daniel: You know, the contract’s pretty straightforward. Chancellor-winters, they own omegasphere outright. And I’m pretty sure that lily is not going to be feeling very generous right about now.
Heather: We have to try anyway.
Daniel: Heather.
Heather: No, daniel, this is too important. Okay, maybe we don’t get the platform back, but we at least have to fight for princess louisa. For lucy’s sake. You cannot just let this go.
Victoria: Oh, good. You’re still up and all dressed.
Claire: Why? What’s going on?
Cole: Well, you know how you’re always asking questions about your mother and me and the life you missed?
Claire: Yes, and I still feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface.
Cole: Well, actually, instead of telling you stories, we could show you.
Claire: Show me what?
Victoria: Where it all began for us.
If you have wet amd,
Mariah: Hi, guys.
Tessa: Great, you made it!
Mariah: The champagne is on ice, so come on in.
Victoria: Thank you. Thank you.
Cole: Thanks for having us.
Mariah: Hi.
Claire: Hi.
Mariah: I’m sorry that everything is such a mess. It’s amazing how much stuff you accumulate.
Tessa: Yeah, especially with the baby who outgrows her clothes every five minutes.
Victoria: I understand. I’ve been there. Well, when you invited us over, cole and I thought it would be nice if we brought our daughter to see where we used to live. I hope that’s all right.
Tessa: Oh, my gosh, of course it is.
Mariah: Hi. You must be claire. I’m mariah. We’ve heard so much about you.
Claire: Well, then I guess I should probably begin with an apology.
Mariah: No, absolutely not. There are no judgments or apologies in this house. Tessa and I have done many things over the years that we are not particularly proud of.
Claire: Okay.
Tessa: Well, maybe we should go out for margaritas one night, get to know each other for real, not just the dramatic headlines.
Mariah: Oh, absolutely. Sounds like a plan to me.
Cole: You’re right. It is different.
Victoria: I told you.
Cole: It’s just funny how you can envision a place in your head and it always stays the same. It’s like time stood still. You know, that was the breakfast table right over there.
Claire: I still can’t imagine you guys living here together.
Cole: Well, we weren’t just living here. This is the place where your mother and I fell in love.
Daniel: I don’t want to turn this into a war. I hurt lily. There’s no way around that.
Heather: Lily has every right to be angry, on a personal level. She has no right to go after your business and your creation.
Daniel: The contract I signed says otherwise.
Heather: I want to see it.
Daniel: How is that going to help?
Heather: I’m an attorney, remember? Maybe there’s a case for unlawful termination. Maybe we can peel off some of omegasphere’s assets, put it in a separate entity. I won’t know until I see it.
Daniel: I don’t know.
Heather: Look, daniel, if lily wants to keep the platform, but give you back princess louisa, that’s a fair trade. That is a decent thing to do in a situation like this. And if she doesn’t, any good lawyer will tell you there is a case here.
Daniel: Right. So, you’re telling me we’re going to file a case that basically says I broke lily’s heart and now she’s trying to punish me for it. That’s so personal and so humiliating.
Heather: Is it any different than what devon and lily are doing right now, trying to cheat you out of something that you created? No, it’s not. And if they’re going to play hardball, we can play just as hard. This is not right, daniel. You deserve to keep your dream.
Billy: Lily’s hurt, phyllis. She feels betrayed, and she’s not in the mood to play nice.
Phyllis: Well, what does that mean exactly?
Billy: It means that the last time I saw lily and devon together, they were discussing firing daniel and heather.
Phyllis: Whoa, what?
Billy: I tried to talk them out of it, but they’re not listening, okay? So, you might want to give daniel a heads-up.
Phyllis: That’s outrageous.
Billy: Well, I know. I agree.
Phyllis: Omegasphere is daniel’s baby, and what, she wants to fire him because of some relationship issue? Really? Is lily that petty? Oh, my god, that’s– if somebody wants out of a relationship, if it’s not working for them, you just acknowledge that and let them go and wish them luck in their life. You don’t turn into a snake and go for the throat. I mean, you don’t make vengeance your number-one priority. I mean, that is so childish. Shut up. Ahh. It’s a good day to cough. Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.
Mariah: Right?
[ Tessa laughs ]
Tessa: Mm. Uh oh.
Mariah: Yep, that sounds like an “I’m not going back to bed anytime soon” cry.
Tessa: No, I’ll go up.
Mariah: No, no, no, we’ll do a two-person job. You distract her, I’ll change her.
Tessa: Okay, okay.
Both: Excuse us.
Tessa: Yeah, sorry.
Victoria: No, it’s not a problem. Hey.
Cole: Hmm?
Victoria: What are you thinking?
Cole: You and me living here.
Victoria: Yeah. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Cole: Yeah. We did have some times, though, didn’t we?
Victoria: Yeah, we had some good times.
Cole: And some that weren’t so good.
Victoria: You remember when we had that fight and you stormed out of the house right into that blizzard?
Cole: Yeah, and then you locked me out.
Victoria: No, I did not lock you out. I thought you were off sulking somewhere, so I went upstairs and went to bed. You’re lucky that I looked out the window and saw you shivering out there in the snow.
Cole: Never leave the house in the winter when you’re not wearing pants. That’s a free tip.
Victoria: Well, at least I took pity on you and I let you back in.
Cole: You know, yes, you did, and I was very grateful for that.
Claire: What were you two arguing about?
Cole: Uh, gee, actually, I don’t remember. It was probably something stupid.
Victoria: Yeah, we weren’t exactly the maturest of adults back then.
Cole: Yeah, well, you speak for yourself. No, your mom was right. We were just kids.
Claire: Sounds like you two were very much in love.
Cole: Yeah, we were.
Victoria: So, what do you think of the place?
Claire: I like it.
Victoria: Yeah, I thought you might. It’s pretty special, isn’t it?
Claire: And I can imagine the two of you being happy here.
Mariah: Well, look at who’s awake!
Claire: Oh!
Cole: Hey!
Mariah: Say hi, everybody.
Claire: Hi! Aria, good morning. Do you mind if I…
Mariah: Oh, no, absolutely not. Here. There you go. It’s a baby.
Claire: It’s your baby. Can I say hi? Hey, big girl.
Mariah: Wow.
Claire: Wow, you’re so big. Good morning. Are you having a good day today, are you? My name is claire. It’s very nice to meet you.
[ Claire giggles ]
Phyllis: Devon and lily, they are so drunk in power. That’s why their company is sinking like a rock.
Billy: Except it’s not. It’s not sinking at all.
Phyllis: Well– it doesn’t– they have no right to do this to my son.
Billy: Phyllis, he cheated on lily while she was taking care of her daughter.
Phyllis: With the mother of his child, the love of his life.
Billy: It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, okay? You can’t just ignore that part.
Phyllis: Okay, we’ve all been through this. Every single person in this town. Come on, this is nothing new.
Billy: Sure, yeah.
Phyllis: This is what I’m saying, is… devon and lily… oh, god. They have doled out their share of romantic misery. They’re such hypocrites. I mean, to do this to daniel and heather because they’re trying to put their family back together? This is obscene.
Daniel: I need to think about this.
Heather: I know you do, and I, um… I don’t mean to push you.
Daniel: You’re not pushing. You’re just reminding me of what I’m about to lose, and the more I think about it, the more upset I get.
Heather: Yeah. I think you and I were probably in denial about what would happen when lily found out. We were just so relieved to be back together and not having to hide our love for each other that we didn’t really focus on the repercussions.
Daniel: Well, I’m wide awake and laser-focused now.
Claire: That was really fun. Thank you for including me.
Cole: So, you weren’t bored with all of our old stories?
Claire: Are you kidding? I loved them. I want to hear more. Was that the first time you two have been back there together?
Cole: Yeah, yeah. It’s been a long time.
Claire: Didn’t seem that way from the way you were talking.
Cole: Yeah, well, it was a pretty important time for both of us. I mean, ultimately, it led to having you.
Claire: Yeah, that could have been my house if… mom?
Victoria: Hm?
Claire: You’ve just– you’ve been really quiet on the walk back. Is everything okay?
Victoria: Yeah. Yes, everything’s okay.
Cole: If I may interpret, your mother gets a certain look in her eye when she has an idea that turns out to be a pretty big one. Am I right?
Victoria: You can still read me pretty well, can’t you?
Cole: Oh, well, glad I haven’t lost my touch. So, what is it?
Victoria: Well, this might sound a little bit crazy, but it could also be really incredible. What would you think about living in the tack house? At tj maxx, you can afford to turn your closet
Heather: So, that’s all your mom said. Meet me for a drink?
Daniel: And that it was important, so we can assume she’s heard the news.
Heather: Which news? The getting back together part or the getting fired part?
Daniel: Probably both.
Heather: Good, let’s go.
Daniel: Yeah, no, I’m not really interested in a lecture from my mother this evening.
Heather: Who said it’s going to be a lecture?
Daniel: Me, from years and years of knowing her.
Heather: Phyllis has been our biggest cheerleader. She probably just wants to congratulate us.
Daniel: And the losing our jobs part?
Heather: A show of support.
Daniel: Wow. You are an optimist.
Heather: And you and I could both use a drink, so… so, we’re going.
Daniel: Hm. Let’s go.
Heather: Okay.
Daniel: Get your purse, get your coat.
Heather: Okay, all right.
Billy: You know, you’re getting very upset over something that hasn’t happened yet.
Phyllis: Okay, well, you said that lily’s going to fire my son.
Billy: I said it’s heading in that direction. Maybe they will have a change of heart.
Phyllis: Oh, god. My son created omegasphere. That’s his baby. I mean, he’s going to be crushed. And, hey, listen, let’s just call it what it is. I’m in that division. We both know I’m going to get pink-slipped. What a mess that company is. What a mess.
Billy: Oh, I wouldn’t go that far.
Phyllis: Oh, come on. Don’t be a company man right now, billy.
[ Phyllis sighs ] That place is a dumpster fire. You’re sitting right in the middle of it. What you need right now are allies, not foes. You need allies because you’re just sitting there just waiting for the time for them to pick you off, which they will do when the time is right for them.
Claire: You want me to move?
Victoria: Well, you liked the tack house, didn’t you?
Claire: Yeah, it’s great. It’s just… did I do something wrong?
Victoria: No.
Claire: Because I would understand if I’d overstayed my welcome or if you just didn’t want me around all the time.
Victoria: What? No. No, no, no. That’s not what I meant at all. No, you would– you would be moving there with me. I would move with you, and then johnny and katie could join us later.
Claire: Oh.
Victoria: I don’t want you to ever think that you’re not welcome wherever we go. You’re family. You should never forget that.
Claire: Thank you.
Cole: You know, I think it’s a great idea. It’s a really good space. And you still are right here on the newman property, so you have access to all of victor’s security.
Victoria: And I have been a little worried about johnny and katie coming home from spring break and not having a house to come home to. I mean, I love that they want to spend a lot of time with mom and dad, but, I mean, the five of us in the main house together could get a little stressful, and this way you guys could get to know each other.
Claire: I’d really like that, but how would they feel about me being there?
Victoria: Well, I’ve already told them all about you. They’re really anxious to meet their big sister.
Claire: Big sister. I still can’t believe I have siblings.
Victoria: You’re going to be so great with them. Just like you were with aria tonight. You know, she’s a real natural with children.
Claire: This all just, it’s a little overwhelming.
Victoria: I know. And I’m sorry if I just dumped it on you like this, but after we ran into mariah and tessa and they told us that they were moving, I just felt that it was the universe sending us a message.
Cole: To live the dream.
Victoria: Yeah. And it can be our home. You know, a place where we can all come together. And cole, you’re welcome to come as often as you like.
Cole: Thank you.
Victoria: And claire, it’ll be a place to give you space and time to plan the rest of your life. But you have time to think about it, of course. There’s no rush.
Claire: So, when can we move?
[ Victoria sighs ] Oh, it’s nice. It’s starting to get warm.
Cole: Yeah, spring’s a-coming, all right.
Victoria: Yeah.
Cole: You know, I hadn’t thought about that blizzard night for years.
Victoria: You were so mad.
Cole: I thought I was gonna turn into a snowman. I mean, it was freezing outside. And, but, you know, then we made up. It was always really nice whenever we made up.
Victoria: Do you think that I’m doing the right thing with claire and the tack house?
Cole: Absolutely. You’re giving her a chance to have a home and to really be a part of a family for the first time in her life.
Victoria: Yeah. And it’s a chance for us to see her become whoever she wants to be. I know we can never get back those years that we lost with her, but at least this is a second chance for us to watch our daughter grow up.
Cole: And for you to be her perfect role model.
Victoria: Oh, well, I am far from perfect, as you well know.
Cole: No. You’re an incredible woman, victoria. An amazing mother. An amazing woman. I mean, there’s just, there’s just no other word for it. And you take my breath away about a dozen times a day.
Did you know…
Cole: I better get going.
Victoria: Yeah. Thanks for tonight, cole.
Cole: Thank you. I had a great time. Um… you know, um… having you in my life has changed everything. And I never want to go back to the way things were. I just needed you to know that.
Phyllis: Hey, look at the happy couple. My goodness.
Daniel: Hi, mom.
Phyllis: Hey.
Daniel: Hi.
Phyllis: Yeah, you know, billy and I were just talking about how excited I was when you told me that you and heather were back together.
Daniel: Right. Yes.
Heather: Mm-hmm.
Daniel: How very excited you were.
Phyllis: Yeah. Uh, we were also discussing, um, how your jobs might be on the line.
Daniel: Oh, there’s, uh, there’s no, no maybe about that. Lily pulled the trigger. Um, we’ve both officially been fired.
Billy: Um, just so you both know, I was not involved in that decision.
Daniel: I know, billy. Thank you. I appreciate it. Um, and before you even ask, I have no idea what this means for your position at chancellor-winters.
Phyllis: Oh, I don’t care about that. I’m more concerned about you.
Heather: I think daniel should fight this. At least hold on to princess louisa.
Phyllis: I agree.
Billy: So do I.
Phyllis: You do?
Billy: I think devon and lily are acting out of emotion to the detriment of the company. I think you got to do what you got to do.
Heather: You see? It isn’t just me. You need to fight to protect what’s rightfully yours, and we’re all behind you.
Mariah: So, what did you think of claire?
Tessa: Oh, uh, she was nice. A little shy, and great with the baby, which was not what I was expecting.
Mariah: Yeah. I think she’s trying to find her way.
Tessa: Hm. I mean, you would know.
Mariah: Yeah, I mean, it’s one thing to find your parents when you’re practically grown, but when it doesn’t get off on exactly the right foot.
Tessa: I mean, you and sharon seemed to work everything out. And from what I saw, claire and victoria seemed bonded. You know, like mother and daughter.
Mariah: Yeah, that’s true. Victoria was beaming.
Tessa: Aw.
Mariah: Oh, my goodness. Is that tad?
Tessa: Oh, I was wondering what happened to him. The last time I saw him, aria was trying to bathe him in pasta.
Mariah: Yeah, and he does look a little rough around the edges.
Tessa: Oh, but we should keep him, though, right?
Mariah: I mean, we can’t keep everything, tessa. The new place is big, but it’s not that big. And she’s already got her new toy, ginky. It’s the top dog right now.
Tessa: Oh, tad looks sad.
Mariah: Okay, fine, fine. We will keep tad for a little while longer.
Tessa: Good choice.
Mariah: We have new memories to make, and there’s gonna be new mementos in the new place. This is a beginning for us. You got lucky, tad.
Victoria: Is everything all right?
Claire: Yeah.
Victoria: Are we rushing this move? Is it too fast for you?
Claire: No. No, I’m really excited about the move. I just… I feel guilty that you put off your life so much for me.
Victoria: This is my life. There’s nothing that matters to me more than you.
Claire: And I really appreciate that. But you… you loved running newman. Don’t you miss it? Do you think it’s time you should think about getting back to work?
Victoria: No, it doesn’t feel right. If or when I’m ready, I will know.
Claire: And cole doesn’t seem too eager to end his sabbatical and go back to the U.K. For work, does he?
Victoria: Claire, we’ve just missed so many– so many years with you. You’re like a miracle to us. We want to dedicate this time in our lives to you.
