Nikki: Victor, I’d like you to meet my new assistant, claire grace.

Claire: Mr. Newman, it’s an honor.

Victor: So, you’re the young lady I’ve heard so much about. My goodness. Welcome to the company.

Claire: Thank you, sir.

Victor: Uh, my wife speaks very highly of you. She rarely does that, you know.

Nikki: Now.

Victor: And you are aware of the importance of the job that you’re about to take on?

Claire: Very much so, sir. I am honored to be entrusted with the responsibility. And I plan to give miss newman my all.

Victor: I expect no less.

Claire: I know how lucky I am to be part of such an exciting young business like newman media. And to be given this opportunity to learn from the best. I couldn’t have hoped for better.

Sally: So, now that the financing is in place and I have a network of suppliers lined up, I think it is time to bring in some clients.

Nick: Right, clients.

Sally: You know, I think the key is to generate word of mouth and get some jobs under my belt before we bring in a marketing team. Get some photos out there, maybe some media content. People love before and afters. What do you think about hiring me to design your offices for your new company with sharon?

Nick: Hundred percent.

Sally: We could feature the empty space and then the concept stage and then the final product. Offer interviews for everyone and it’ll be really good for your company and mine.

Nick: Yep.

Sally: Should I go would you prefer hot pink?

Nick: Yes.

Sally: You’re not actually hearing any of the words I’m saying, are you?

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: Have you been listening to anything I’ve said?

Nick: Yeah, you were, uh, talking about, um, something pink.

Sally: Nick.

Nick: You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m trying to concentrate, uh, but I can’t stop thinking about something else.

Sally: I bet I can guess. What happened between me and adam? You haven’t been the same since you found out about the kiss.

Adam: Nate.

Nate: Adam.

Adam: I, um, I was nearby. I was running those errands that you asked me to do and I thought I would stop in, give you a report. See if there’s anything else I can grab for you on the way back to the office.

Victoria: It seems like the sort of thing that could have been a text.

Nate: It’s okay. It’s okay. Let’s hear it, adam.

Adam: Uh, well, I, um, dropped off your shirts at the dry cleaner, uh, picked up your suit alterations at fenmore’S. I went ahead and confirmed tomorrow’s breakfast, and then the presentation binders for, uh, this afternoon’s team meeting, got those. And the research you asked for is gonna be on your desk by the end of the day.

Nate: Wow, you’ve accomplished quite a bit in one morning. I’m impressed.

Adam: Well, my sister’s obviously not.

Victoria: Bravo for doing your job.

Adam: Okay, yes, that is the spirit.

Victoria: And my question is why are you working so hard?

Adam: I mean, isn’t that the idea? Work hard, get the job done.

Nate: Which is what you seem to be doing.

Adam: And there’s something wrong with that?

Victoria: Uh, just a little suspicious, that’s all.

Adam: How so?

Victoria: It’s a clear sign that you’re up to something. – “Best thing I’ve ever done.”

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Adam: Help me out, victoria. You know this is a double bind for me. If I slack off, I’m an ingrate who thinks this is beneath him. And if I work hard, I’m plotting.

Victoria: That’s about it. Yeah.

Adam: Do– do you know what my dream is?

Victoria: I have no clue. And I’m really not that interested.

Adam: That one day, you will accept what I say to you at face value.

Victoria: Well, I don’t imagine that that day is coming any time soon. You know what they say about dreams? You eventually wake up.

Adam: What do I have to do to convince you that this reformation is real?

Nate: We are both giving you the benefit of the doubt for now, adam.

Adam: Well, I hope that’s true and I hope it lasts. You know, I can do this swimming upstream if I have to, but a little faith and trust would make it a lot easier.

Victoria: And why exactly should it be easier?

Adam: Because this would be better for everybody. We would all benefit if this works out.

Nate: So far, so good.

Adam: Thank you.

Victoria: My jury’s still out.

Adam: Of course it is and I can’t wait for the verdict. Now, if you don’t have anything new for my to do list, I’m gonna head back to work. I’ll see you at the office.

Victoria: I thought that you and I were both immune to adam’s tricks. Please tell me that you’re not falling for his con.

Nick: Trying really hard to forget about that kiss and I hate seeming like I’m paranoid or that I’m dragging up old emotions for you.

Sally: You have no reason to be paranoid.

Nick: Yeah. You and adam, you’re just friends. Even if adam doesn’t believe it, but that’s what you told me.

Sally: And that’s what I meant.

Nick: Then, I believe you. But then you also told me that you were torn up inside and that your feelings were all over the place. And then you turned around and saw how upset I was. You said something to try and make me feel better.

Sally: What are you talking about?

Nick: Sally you went from, I’m not ready to be in love to I’m falling in love with you in no time flat.

Sally: Okay. That’s a bit of an exaggeration.

Nick: You can’t deny the shift was pretty quick. Because then you told me about the kiss and then, you know, you’re just trying to make me feel better.

Sally: Well, yeah, of course, I don’t want you to be upset. And I don’t want you questioning my wanting to be with you. And I also would not admit to feeling something if it wasn’t true.

Nick: Yeah, but the timing, it can’t be a coincidence.

Sally: What are you really saying?

Nick: You don’t see some cause and effect there?

Sally: Look, what difference does it make how I got to where I am or– or when? Me being open about my feelings is the important part.

Nick: Sally, it’s, I just need you to know that you can always be honest with me.

Sally: Of course, I know that, okay? And I am being honest. Yeah, I’m– my emotions are a little tangled up and that hasn’t changed. Adam got to me.

Nick: Which is exactly what he wanted.

Sally: Maybe.

Nick: Sally, come on.

Sally: Look, I don’t know that for sure.

Nick: How can you not know that?

Sally: Okay, look, I don’t care about his reasoning, okay? I care about us. I would really like to think that– that I’m always in control of my emotions and that I can handle anything that’s thrown at me and most of the time, that’s true. But adam, I mean, you know how he is.

Nick: Yeah, I do.

Sally: He’s relentless.

Nick: He always is.

Sally: And he knows what buttons to push.

Nick: Yeah. Every single one of them. Can I ask you something?

Sally: Of course.

Nick: Do you think adam would have been able to push all those buttons if there wasn’t some part of you that was still in love with him?

Nikki: You made a very good first impression on my husband and trust me, that is no easfe.

Claire: I hope I didn’t come across like a complete idiot. We studied newman enterprises in business school, so to meet the man in person was intimidating. I wrote a paper about a series of acquisitions he made in the late 90s, and now I just shook his hand.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure he would love to read your paper.

Claire: Maybe down the road, a long time from now. I hope I came off as a professional.

Nikki: Oh, you did just fine.

Audra: I’m sorry to interrupt, nikki, but I just got off a call with the podcast network we want to acquire.

Nikki: Where are we on the purchase price?

Audra: Still too far apart. You know, they’re holding to an outrageous figure. You know, I think they just fear they’ve boxed themselves in and are trying to save face.

Nikki: Well, let’s give them some more time. Or, claire. Your thoughts?

Claire: Me?

Nikki: Why not?

Claire: I– I don’t know any of the details, obviously, I’m so new.

Nikki: I’m sure you learned a lot about negotiations in your business training. So, what are your instincts?

Claire: Give them a way out. Let the fee stand, but recoup it in some other aspect of the deal. Something worthwhile to you. That way you’re happy and they feel like they’ve won.

Nikki: Very astute.

Claire: Thank you.

Audra: Yes, definitely interting approach, but I’m not sure what else they have that we want, for the price they’re asking.

Nikki: Well, we could tie it to the advertising platform. Bigger percentage for us.

Audra: That works.

Nikki: Great. So, are we good?

Audra: We are excellent.

Nikki: Terrific. Uh, if you need me to jump in, just let me know.

Audra: Thank you so much for your insight, claire. deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories.

We’re traveling all across america,

Nikki: I am not sure I want to go up against you in a negotiation.

Claire: Just some things I’ve studied. And my great-aunt always said I was a born negotiator. I had a very good success rate with getting later bedtime.

Nikki: Oh, really? I think I had that same young girl in my house.

Claire: Your daughter, victoria.

Nikki: Absolutely. She was always very strong-minded and it could be exhausting. Now, there are some things I want to make clear.

Claire: Uh, of course, mrs. Newman. I will take notes.

Nikki: Oh, you don’t have to do that. Uh, you can if you want to. It’s not necessary. First, I would like for you to call me nikki.

Claire: Okay. Done.

Nikki: And I am a demanding boss, as my husband alluded to, but I try to make my expectations known, so you will know exactly what I want from you. I am tough, but fair. And sometimes, it is imperative that I move on something very quickly. You might feel like I’m barking orders at you, but trust me, it’s nothing personal.

Claire: Of course, mrs.– Nikki. I think you’ll find I have a pretty thick skin. I’ve taught myself not to take criticism or brusqueness personally. Most things aren’t personal. They’re more about what the other person is going through than something you did.

Nikki: Hm. You’re a bit of an old soul, aren’t you?

Claire: I don’t know about that, but I did grow up in a very strict household, so I was taught to follow the rules. Do what you’re told. Behave appropriately.

Nikki: Oh, your great aunt laid down the law, did she?

Claire: I love my great aunt, but she didn’t always see eye to eye with all of my friend’s parents about what a young girl should be allowed to do.

Nikki: And you don’t have any siblings, is that right? I lost my parents at a fairly young age. Thank god for my older sister. Did you have anybody aside from your great aunt that you… I’m starting to sense that you prefer not to talk about the past.

Claire: I’d rather focus on the future.

Sally: I don’t love adam. That’s over. Just like your other loves are in the past, okay? So can we not? Because I would much rather talk about us and our future. Our relationship and the company that– that you’re helping me build and your belief in me that means everything. Look, adam and I are friends. We went through a horrible ordeal together. And so yeah, I guess I– I feel affection for him. As a friend. Empathy.

Nick: Losing ava bonded you.

Sally: Yeah, of course it did. And I think you would understand that because you went through the pain yourself. It doesn’t just leave you. But sharing that with one person doesn’t discount how you feel about someone else. I am falling in love with you. I wouldn’t lie about that. Can you please believe me?

Nate: Me tolerating adam isn’t the same as trusting him. I’m just as skeptical of his turnaround as you are.

Victoria: Really? Well, it didn’t seem like that a minute ago. You were praising at him like you were gonna hand him a trophy or something.

Nate: As opposed to what? Provoking him to be on his guard? That’s not gonna help us. Remember what you told me. We need to sit back, wait for adam to make a move that benefits him and damages the company. Lull him into a false sense of security. He won’t be able to help showing his hand. That’s when your father will finally be able to see that all adam’s talk about humbling himself and starting over is the bs we already know it to be.

Victoria: Okay. Well, I can start complimenting him and telling him that he’s doing a good job. He would see right through that.

Nate: Okay. That’s fine. Nothing overboard that he could clock, but we are on the same page about building adam’s confidence, right? To then knock him down when he shows his hand.

Victoria: Yes.

Nate: Then we have to let him think that we bought his act. That we firmly believe he is cool with being the world’s best assistant.

Victoria: All right. All right. I’ll– I’ll have a more positive attitude then.

Nate: Good.

Victoria: It’s not gonna be easy though.

Nate: I know.

Victoria: Because being nice to adam does not address the bigger issue.

Nate: Which is?

Victoria: My father. Ma, ma, ma-

Nate: Victoria, I thought you’d let that go and accepted the changes at newman. You said you’d go along with what your father wants.

Victoria: I said that I would go along with what my father wanted for now because it was the only feasible choice ’cause the only thing to do in the moment is to keep an eye on adam and wait for him to screw up.

Nate: That’s still the objective.

Victoria: I’m sorry. But you know what? It’s just harder than I thought it would be to wait this all out. I’m not a particularly patient person, nate.

Nate: You’re not? I had no idea.

Victoria: And to hear my father say that he was gonna whip us all into shape. I mean, that kind of paternalistic stance. Yeah, adam, sure, of course. And nicholas maybe, but me? I have been leading this company and I have been leading it well, so for him to include me in his– in his cleanup plan, it–

Nate: I know you’re hurt.

Victoria: No, I’m not hurt. I’m not. I’m insulted.

Nate: But taking it out on your father, saying he’s the problem–

Victoria: Is there anything that you can agree with me on? Is everything that I do wrong?

Nate: Victoria, look, let’s not turn this into an argument. I was simply pointing out that we agreed on a strategy. We said we’d sit back, see how things unfolded with your father at the helm and we’d watch adam very closely.

Victoria: Okay. Great, great, but that’s not working for me. I can’t just sit by and do nothing. It just makes me feel more isolated than I already am.

Nate: Isolated how?

Victoria: I– I had an entire company. My father threw me out of the ceo chair. Nicholas refuses to come back to newman to offer me his support and adam is worming his way back into people’s lives. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe that it’s genuine. And it’s just the first step in god knows what and you think my reaction is inappropriate for some reason. I feel like I’m out here on my own. I feel like no one’s on my side.

Nate: I did not say that. You have to know I support you 100%.

Victoria: Do you?

Nate: Of course. I said it before and I will say it again. I am only suggesting you keep the peace with your father because I believe it is the best way forward for you. I don’t want victor hurting you any more than he already has. I don’t want everything that you’ve accomplished at your family’s company to be undermined by adam. Can’t you see that I’m just trying to protect you?

Nick: Is it possible that you just think you’re in love with me or that you wish you were? Because you know it’s safe.

Sally: That’s not fair. Because my feelings for you are real and they’re huge and for you to just dismiss them like that–

Nick: I’m not trying to do that, okay? I just don’t want you to feel like you’re trapped. If you’re confused, I get it, all right? If you need some time, then please just take it.

Sally: Look, I never said that’s what I needed.

Nick: I absolutely hate it that adam is manipulating you. That he’s manipulating us. And it just proves yet again that all that talk from him about wanting to be a better person was just that. It’s just talk. It’s just adam. He’s always going to be him and it’s clearly affecting you.

Sally: It seems like you’re the one that he’s affecting because it’s not me. Not in any way that matters anyway.

Nick: Look, I can’t go through this again. I don’t want to.

Sally: What are you saying? If you’re taking an antidepressant

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. At the home depot, you’ll find top-brand kitchen appliances

Nick: I guess what I’m saying is I can’t be in a relationship where both sides aren’t 100% committed. I’m all in sally and you gotta be too.

Sally: I am all in.

Nick: No, you’re not. Every instinct I have is telling me you’re not.

Sally: So what? It’s just my word against your instincts?

Nick: Yeah, pretty much.

[ Sally scoffing ] Look, I’ve been fighting this feeling for a long time that adam is the one you really want to be with and that’s never not going to be true. Even if we’re together, if adam’s with someone else, there is this pull between the two of you and it is always there. Yeah, I was in the middle of it for a while. It worked. We were happy. At least, I thought we were.

Sally: We were, we are.

Nick: But then all hell broke loose. You lost ava and I was fighting to save my daughter’s life and that means I couldn’t be there for you when you needed me most. But adam was. And after you got done blaming him for ava, it’s like the two of you were two broken pieces that got glued back together. And there wasn’t anything that was gonna tear you apart. Not even my love for you, sally, which is so obvious to me now.

Sally: But I choose you.

Nick: Do you? For how long? Are you just delaying the inevitable?

Sally: It’s like I’m– I’m saying the words and you’re not hearing them. Like you’re just listening to the version that you made up instead.

Nick: I think that kiss tapped into some emotional truth for you.

Sally: No, nick, you’re wrong.

Nick: Listen to me, I’m not wrong. You just refuse to see it right now. And until you do, I can’t be with you.

Victoria: I don’t need to be protected, nate.

Nate: Of course. That didn’t come out right. I am well aware that you are more than capable of handling whatever comes your way. I just meant that I’m here for you, okay? I’m your second in command, your partner, your sounding board. Whatever you need me to be. And a difference of opinion doesn’t make that any less true. Are we good? Look, I need to head back to the office for a conference call. Ride with me.

Victoria: No, you go ahead. I’ll see you later.

Nate: Okay. I’ll see you later.

Claire: I’ll take care of this right away.

Nikki: Excellent.

Audra: I am pleased to report that the tactic worked. Our negotiation with the podcast network is moving forward.

Nikki: Well done. And to you too, claire.

Claire: Oh, I just threw out a suggestion, audra made it work. And I’m sure it’s not anything you didn’t already know.

Audra: We all need a reminder sometimes.

Nikki: Well, I have a meeting with the finance team, so I will see you ladies later.

Claire: I hope you don’t think I crossed a line.

Audra: Of course not.

Claire: It’s just nikki asked me, so–

Audra: Claire, it’s fine. We’re te and I believe, uh, good ideas can come from anywhere. You know, if no one listened to me when I started, I wouldn’t be where I am. So, first day… how do you think it’s going?

Claire: This is my dream job. I just– I hope I can prove myself. Meet nikki’s expectations. And yours, of course.

Audra: Yeah, I’m sure you will. We’re all very happy to have you here.

Claire: Thank you. That means a lot. Just keep up the good work. I think this will be a very exciting time for all of us.

Adam: Pops.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: How’s your day going so far?

Victor: Yeah, all right. Are you comfortable in your new job?

Adam: Uh, not by a long shot. I’m not used to being someone’s assistant, obviously. But you did give me the bottom of the ladder because I asked for it, so I’m working hard trying to anticipate nate’s every move.

Victor: You know, I gotta be honest with you. I– I didn’t think you could pull it off.

Adam: Well, how you like me now?

Victor: Well–

Adam: Am I passing your test?

Victor: That’s too soon to judge, you know. Give it a little time.

Adam: Yeah, I guess it is early days for that. I will say, it is an interesting exercise though. Being on the, uh, background doing the grunt work. It’s a lesson on how to treat my own assistant if I climb up the ladder again.

Victor: Anything specific?

Adam: Well, how about this? I’ll have my dry cleaning delivered instead of telling my assistant to pick it up.

Victor: Well now, that’s a hell of a lesson to have learned, okay?

Adam: Yeah, like you said though, it’s a little too early to tell if I’m gonna make it to the other side of this.

Victor: Definitely.

Adam: There’s still time for me to fail. Start lashing out again.

Victor: Son, I just hope that you won’t, you know, indulge in your slash-and-burn habits again. I mean, I’d be very disappointed to know that I’d wasted my time. Some luxury creams just sit on top of skin.

Claire: Oh, audra. Is there anything I can do for you while I’m waiting for nikki to come back?

Audra: Oh, no thanks. I’m fine for now.

Claire: All right. Well, I’ll be at my desk. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you think of something.

Audra: Of course.

Nate: Adam, there you are. Hello, victor.

Victor: Hey, nate. You need something?

Nate: I do. Uh, my assistant. I’d like you to sit in on a conference call.

Adam: Well, you got it, boss.

Victor: Well, all right. And nicholas do a good job.

Adam: That’s funny.

Victor: What?

Adam: Is that a joke? Now that I’m falling in line, just like my brother.

Victor: What are you talking about? You have a good day, guys.

Victoria: Well, let’s see. He set up nick and sharon and adam with their own business, and then he changed the rules on them before they even had a chance to get it off the ground. He let adam’s blackmail scheme go unpunished and then later, he fired him. And then, he went forward with the merger plan that he told adam was a no-go two weeks earlier. He offered sally this great job at a new division at newman enterprises and then he ripped the rug out from underneath her five minutes later.

Nikki: Okay. You know what I think? I think that you are taking some of your father’s decisions out of context. It is his company. He’s allowed to change his mind and do whatever he wants to with it.

Victoria: Of course, but he’s doing it so erratically. Can you not see that? There’s no rhyme, no reason to some of the choices that he’s made. No sound business sense whatsoever. It’s like these decisions are more about him flexing his corporate muscle just to show that he can. And putting people in their place, sometimes just to be vindictive. I’m saying that our father’s behavior is not normal. I mean, you– you’ve even agreed with me. You said that he’s not acting like himself. He’s usually so strong and decisive, not all of this back and forth and constantly changing his mind. And yes, I’m sure adam is partly to blame. When isn’t he? But there’s more to it.

Nick: Are you really that concerned with dad’s decision-making right now? Or are you just using this as an excuse to get your job back?

Victoria: Really, nick? Really? Do you think that I would use my concern for our father as some sort of a power play? Have you forgotten about his past medical issues? I mean, yeah, sure, he can– he can pound on a punching bag all day long, but this is about more than just his physical strength. This is about his mind too.

Nick: Look, whether your concern for dad is genuine or not, dad’s gonna see it as sour grapes. It’s the way it’s gonna be. He’s gonna see this as some ploy to get your job back. Can you imagine the fury that is going to rain down upon you if you ever suggest to our father he’s incapable of running the company that he built?

Victoria: Then what should I do about it?

Nick: You need to let mom deal with it, right? And just accept the fact that you’re not in the top spot right now. And be cool to him. Keep that father-daughter peace if you ever hope to get your position back someday.

[ Victoria exhaling ]

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Um, do you have a– a few minutes?

Nick: Sure. Everything okay?

Victoria: I was just wondering if you have had any time to spend with dad since we last talked.

Nick: No. Why do you ask?

Victoria: Well, I was hoping that you finally had the chance to notice what’s really obvious to me, that dad is just off his game.

Nick: Look, vic, I’ve told you. You’re imagining things that simply aren’t there. Dad came back to newman and he took your job.

Victoria: No, you’re wrong. He’s not himself.

Nick: You’re just bitter, vic.

Victoria: No, I’m not. I’m– I’m on an island. I’m alone. I– I– I feel like I’m isolated in an office full of people. Some of whom are my own family, one of whom I’m dating.

Nick: What do you mean by that?

Victoria: Look, um, nate and I just aren’t seeing eye to eye right now. He agrees with you that I shouldn’t be concerned with dad. And mom has gone off to newman media. She was my right hand. I mean, I miss working with her very much. One brother has left me in the lurch and the other’s just– you’re right, okay? You’re right. What dad did hurt, but that doesn’t mean that I’m imagining that dad is not the leader that he used to be.

Nick: Okay. Uh, what can I do?

Victoria: Reconsider. Come back to newman.

Nick: Vic, come on.

Victoria: Is working with sharon really that much better than working with me?

Nick: All right. That’s not fair and you know it.

Victoria: Okay. Well, then what are you doing? Are you trying to prove a point to dad and to all of us that you can walk away from newman whenever you want? I mean, if that’s all this is, then I think you’ve made that point already. Please, nicholas, I need you. I don’t trust adam, obviously. And I’m– I really am scared for our father. Would you please come back home?

Remember

the things you loved…

Adam: Well, that was weird.

Nate: Has that ever happened before? I know that parents with multiple children sometimes say one name when they mean another, but–

Adam: He’s never called me anything but adam. Or “my boy” or “son.” Or some kind of derogatory term I’m probably blocking out, but he has never called me nicholas before.

Nate: So, he was distracted and got mixed up. Victoria thinks stress–

Adam: No, he wasn’t mixed up. I mean, come on victor newman.Th was some kind of dig.

Nate: Or just a slip of the tongue. We all do it.

Nikki: What was a slip of the tongue?

Adam: Victor, he just, uh, confused me with nick.

Nick: Look, vic, I am always in your corner, all right? You can count on me, no matter what. I hope you know that. But it’s gonna have to be from outside newman towers.

Victoria: Okay. Will you at least think about it? Even if the c-suite is a no-go, I understand. But will you at least spend some time with dad so you can see what I’m talking about? I’m genuinely worried about him, nick.

Nick: All right, I’ll check it out. I’ll do what I can.

Victoria: All right. Thank you.

Nick: I love you.

Victoria: I love you too.

Nick: Listen to me. I’m not wrong. You just refuse to see it right now. And until you do, I can’t be with you.

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Nikki: Is everything all right, darling?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. Why do you ask?

Nikki: Well, I ran into adam outside and he said that you called him by the wrong name.

Victor: Yeah, I called him nicholas.

Nikki: So, you knew you did it?

Victor: Yeah, it was intentional.

Nikki: Intentional? Why on earth would you do such a thing?

[ Kyle groaning ] Oh, damn it.

Audra: Morning, sleepy head.

Kyle: Morning. Why’d you let me sleep so late?

Audra: You looked so peaceful. I didn’t wanna disturb you.

Kyle: I was out like a rock. I haven’t slept that well in a while.

Audra: Oh. Well, maybe you should stay over more often.

Kyle: Oh. Um, I’ve never done that before, have I?

Audra: First time for everything.

Kyle: Glad to see you first thing in the morning.

Audra: Yeah. It’s a– it’s a nice change of pace.

Kyle: Yeah. Happy we reconnected?

Audra: Definitely.

Kyle: But, it’s not great I wasn’t home when my son woke up. He’s had enough disruption. He needs to know I’ll always be there.

Audra: You live with your entire family. You know, it’s a house full of people. I’m sure he’s fine.

Kyle: I hope so.

Audra: Hey, now you have your own life too, okay? It happens. It’s not the end of the world.

Lily: Hey, you okay? You seem a little off this morning.

Daniel: Yeah. Just a little on edge.

Lily: Let me guess. Your mom?

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Today’s a big day. She officially starts work at omegasphere.

Lily: Well, are you worried? ‘Cause I mean, you’re the one who hired her.

Daniel: I know. I know.

[ Daniel laughing ] Trust me, I want things to work out for her, but with my mother, you just never know how things are gonna play out.

Lily: Well, remember, your intentions were good, right? You’re giving her a fresh start. Something to focus on.

Daniel: Best laid plans.

Lily: Yeah. True. I was just being optimistic for your sake.

Daniel: Well, I’ll give you points for optimism, but I’m pretty sure that skepticism is warranted here.

Lily: Do you still feel like you can’t trust her?

Daniel: I don’t know. I know that she wants to be this honest and sincere person that summer and I can rely on, but… you know, at the end of the day, she’s still phyllis summers, so anything can happen.

Diane: Is it too soon to start planning our next wedding reception?

Jack: I don’t know. Do you think people will find it over the top for us to be married three times in as many months?

Diane: Do we care?

Jack: It’s a good point.

Diane: [ Laughing ] No, we should probably be patient. Maybe we can have a big party for our one year anniversary. How does that sound?

Jack: I’m not sure I can wait that long. We may have to just celebrate our love on our own every hour of every day.

Diane: Mm. You’re such a romantic. What’s up?

Jack: I– I thought I’d hear from phyllis by now.

Diane: After you asked her to help us figure out what tucker’s up to.

Jack: Well, right now she appears to be our best bet.

Diane: Yeah. Well, I thought we were gonna stop worrying about tucker until we have definitive proof that he’s up to something. That his peace offering is a smokescreen.

Jack: Well, that’s how we keep from worrying. We remain vigilant and proactive and we collect as much information as we can just in case.

Diane: Sounds an awful lot like worrying.

Jack: Tucker is a risk taker. That means he’s gonna do everything he has to to get what he wants.

Diane: I know. Agreed. But we don’t even know what, if anything, he does want. Is he coming after jabot? Does he– does he want revenge on the family or neither of the above?

Jack: Well, I would like to be sure of that. And I’m hoping phyllis decides to do the right thing and help us out.

Diane: That’s a lot to expect from the woman who sent me to jail.

Jack: She claims she wants to make amends.

Diane: [ Laughing ] That’s lovely. That’s a lovely sentiment. Clearly, I believe in second chances, but we’re talking about phyllis. And you and I both know that the only side she’s ever really on is her own.

Tucker: Oh, phyllis, phyllis, phyllis. Will you ever learn?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Wow. Wow.

Danny: Phyllis?

Phyllis: Hey, danny.

Danny: Everything okay? You didn’t live this strong,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Devon: Here it is. Boy loves to just run around this park, doesn’t he?

Abby: He sure does. And mommy loves when he falls asleep because he’s so worn out.

Devon: Aw! That’s why mommy doesn’t wanna play another game of hot potato.

Abby: No, no, no, no. Mommy wants some time with daddy. Like a date night.

Devon: Ooh.

Abby: Yeah. I loved going to the wedding with you. Getting all dressed up and spending time together.

Devon: I love getting dressed up with you too. You looked beautiful that night.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Beautiful right now.

Abby: Mm.

Devon: We got lucky nothing crazy happened that day.

Abby: Yeah. You know, as much as I want my mom to be here and be in town, I think it’s best that she wasn’t here for the wedding. Yeah. I know that she smoothed things over with my uncle jack, but I think seeing diane that happy, her head might’ve exploded.

Devon: How is she doing?

Abby: She’s good. She’s good. You know, she’s in paris. She’s working remotely for jabot. Yeah, but she even admitted that it’s best that she wasn’t there for the party.

Devon: That’s good that she knows her limits.

Abby: Yeah. But I do think that she’s softened a bit towards diane since diane saved her life.

Devon: Do you think that’s gonna last?

Abby: I don’t know. I’m not sure. She’s been through so much lately. I think she’s just trying to regain her footing and I know that she’s really nervous about coming home.

Devon: ‘Cause of tucker.

Abby: Yeah. She doesn’t wanna stir him up again.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I don’t really know how he would react if they came face to face. ‘Cause he claims that he’s over her, but I don’t know.

Abby: I think they both hurt each other a lot and now, those wounds are not even close to healing.

Devon: They just seemed so happy together, you know?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: And tucker was such a better version of himself when he was with her. I hate to think that that part of him is just gone.

Abby: Yeah. I did tell my mom about tucker’s gift to my uncle jack and diane.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: That bonsai tree. How it was supposed to be a gesture of peace and harmony.

Devon: It was very tucker.

Abby: Yeah. And then I told her how he told uncle jack that he overreacted when he came back from paris, and that any sort of revenge he was plotting was just done and over.

Devon: Well, did your mom buy that though?

Abby: She wasn’t sure. She admitted that when it comes to tucker, she doesn’t know what to think anymore.

Phyllis: Hey, danny. Good to see you.

Danny: Yeah, you too. So, uh, what are you up to?

Phyllis: I was just doing a little research. A little research. Um, my first day working at omegasphere for daniel.

[ Phyllis chuckling ]

Danny: That is great. I’m so glad you’re seeing this through.

Phyllis: Well, you know, he gave me a great opportunity. I’m thrilled to take it.

Danny: Well, he has faith in you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered you the position.

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s right. I just wanna prove myself, you know, to my kids, to daniel and summer.

Danny: And I believe you will.

Phyllis: I wanted to extend some gratitude to you as well.

Danny: Uh, me? I’m sorry. What did I do?

Phyllis: Well, that conversation we had yesterday.

Danny: Oh.

Phyllis: Yeah. You really helped me. You really helped me change my perspective on things.

Danny: Wow. I didn’t realize I had that effect on you.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] You do. Thank you for believing in me after everything I’ve done. All of our history.

Danny: I think that we’ve gotten past our history.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: Really? I mean, ’cause people say that, but you know, then there is history sometimes it’s hard to get past.

Danny: We’re good, phyllis. I hear you when you say you wanna change. I do.

Phyllis: Thank you. ‘Cause I do wanna change. I really do.

Danny: And seeing you take the initiative to wanna be a better person makes me believe that you’re sincere and I imagine daniel feels the same way.

Phyllis: Yeah. I just wanna do right by my kids.

Danny: Not saying that it won’t be challenging. You know, the straight and narrow path, it’s a delicate one. But you can do anything you want when you’re determined. You’re that kinda person.

Jack: Oh, I got a response.

Diane: What did she say?

Jack: Phyllis has something on tucker.

Diane: Already? What is it?

Jack: No details.

Diane: So, it could be nothing.

Jack: Or it could be something. She’s just being careful. Wouldn’t it be something if phyllis is the one who came through for us?

Diane: Well, good for her if she has.

Jack: Well, I gotta meet her at crimson lights. Hopefully, she will have some inkling as to what tucker is really up to.

Diane: Or maybe she just wants you to believe that she’s willing to help you.

Jack: Hey, are you uncomfortable with my doing this with phyllis? I haven’t asked.

Diane: Of course, I am. Why would I trust her intentions? Jack, I just– I just don’t want her to hurt us.

Jack: She can’T.

Diane: Phyllis is tenacious. I’m sure she wants your forgiveness. Likes your attention. She likes to pull people over to her side, no matter what the cost.

Jack: Listen– listen to me. It’s one meeting. I’m keeping my eyes wide open. I am going in with a glass is half-full approach. Look, if she’s sincere about wanting to make amends, this is a good step in that direction.

Diane: Then, I’ll just cross my fingers.

Jack: I’ll see you at the office.

Diane: Okay. Some luxury creams just sit on top of skin.

Abby: Well, I also told my mom about your suspicion that tucker’s behind mamie’s return to town and her investment in chancellor-winters.

Devon: Oh, yeah. That seems like a pretty convenient coincidence if you ask me. But then tucker claims that there’s nothing to it.

Abby: Well, my mom was not surprised. She said that anything is possible when it comes to tucker. And well, especially now that he doesn’t have her to keep him in line.

Devon: Sure doesn’T.

Abby: Do you think that he’s telling the truth? I mean, should we give him the benefit of the doubt?

Devon: I don’t know. I– I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore ’cause he can deny it all he wants, but I know that I felt the vibe between him and mamie at the abbott house. He was standing right there. It was like they had been in contact before.

Abby: Okay, but would mamie really get involved with someone like tucker? It seems unlikely. And mamie loves my mom and uncle jack and traci like they’re her own. And would she really want to be involved with someone who would hurt one of them?

Devon: I wouldn’t think that she’d do something like that. No, but at the same time, she’s been extremely secretive about this whole investment.

Abby: I don’t know. Maybe she’s telling the truth. I mean, maybe she really just wants to be a part of the family company and she wants to get closer to you and lily.

Devon: I hope so. I do. But I also agree with your mom. Anything is possible when it comes to tucker.

Abby: Well, how do you wanna proceed with your father?

Devon: That’s a great question. I would like to think the best of him and to give him a chance, but it is getting harder and harder to do that.

Lily: Well, listen, I really hope that things work out with phyllis at omegasphere and that she behaves herself.

Daniel: Hm. Works hard? Yes. Behaves?

Lily: [ Laughing ] Well, she knows how amazing you are. Maybe she’ll go easy on you.

Daniel: Oh, yes. My greatness, no matter how well known across the land, has unfortunately never stopped her before. I– I just, you know, I keep telling myself that I gotta be optimistic.

Lily: Cautiously optimistic.

Daniel: Correct. What about you? Did you ever find out what’s going on with mamie? Did you figure out why she made that investment in– in chancellor-winters?

Lily: Uh, no. Not yet. But I really hope it’s as simple as she’s saying and that she just wants to spend time with family.

Daniel: Well, you and devon don’t need any more business chaos.

Lily: No. And jill will have a lot of opinions on the subject, so I’m just trying not to fixate on it.

Daniel: It’s good to, um, to be hopeful though. You know, it doesn’t hurt.

Lily: Yep. Good reminder for both of us. Anyway, I have to go. But, um, what are you doing for lunch later?

Daniel: Spending it with you, if I’m lucky.

Lily: Okay. Sounds good. I’ll see you later then.

Daniel: Yeah. Well, I look forward to it.

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: Okay, you know, if I’m late, it’s your fault.

Daniel: What? Totally worth it.

Lily: I have to go. Okay. I have to go. Bye-bye.

Daniel: Bye.

[ Phone chiming ]

Danny: Hey, listen. Um, I just heard from daniel this morning that heather’s back in town.

Phyllis: Oh, interesting. She’s back in town.

Danny: Yeah.

Phyllis: She left suddenly to portugal. I’m so excited to see lucy. She is so special.

Danny: Well, actually heather’s here alone. Lucy stayed in lisbon with paul and christine. Yeah.

Phyllis: Wow. If that bug says one negative thing about me to my granddaughter–

Danny: Uh, you can use her name, you know. And christine’s not gonna say anything to lucy. Come on. You know her better than that.

Phyllis: Do I?

Danny: You don’t have to like her, but you two are good people, okay? When it comes right down to it.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second.

[ Chuckling ] Wait a second. Wait, does christine still hold a special place in your heart, even now?

Danny: Of course, she does. As do you. We are all part of the past together. The good and the bad.

Phyllis: Wait a second. I– I thought you said you were with somebody new. That’s what you said around the holidays, that you were with someone new.

Danny: Yeah, I– I did, but that, um, yeah, that didn’t work out.

Phyllis: Are– are you– are you holding out hope that you could be with christine if she doesn’t work things out with paul? What?

Danny: I see you haven’t lost your inherent ability to find drama everywhere.

Phyllis: I– I’m not being dramatic. I’m just asking a question. It’s no big deal.

Danny: Sure.

Phyllis: Are you interested in the bug?

Danny: I want her to be happy. As I want you to be happy.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Uh, that’s vague. I can’t– wow. I can’t believe this is happening.

Danny: Look–

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] No.

Danny: Hey, hey. Listen, whatever happens, I want us to move forward, okay? Let’s see what happens in the– the next chapter of each one of our lives together. Free from the past.

Phyllis: Right. I’m on board.

[ Daniel sighing ] 1 down, 9 to go.

Kyle: Hey, mom.

Diane: Kyle!

Kyle: Have you seen harrison this morning?

Diane: Uh, yes. I helped him get dressed. He had breakfast and then linda took him to school. He was, um, he was asking about you. He wondered where his daddy was.

Kyle: Damn it. I set my alarm and I slept right through it. I raced home as fast as I could when I woke up.

Diane: Where’d you spend the night?

Kyle: Um, I went out with a friend after the reception. I crashed at their place.

Diane: Oh, I see.

Kyle: Anyway, thank you for looking after harrison. I’m gonna head upstairs and shower.

Diane: Uh, kyle. Look, I know you’ve been having a hard time lately, but this– this isn’t like you. You don’t just neglect your son.

Kyle: Oh, it was just one mistake, mom. I’ll make it up to harrison, but please don’t make me feel worse than I already do.

Diane: All right. Well, let’s not talk about just this morning. I’m– I’m talking about the big picture.

Kyle: Please just stop. You’re blowing this outta proportion.

Diane: No, I’m not. Look, I– I– I get it that you’re struggling to figure things out. Your marriage ended, your career is in flux. Honey, no one would blame you for being off balance. Please, just– just talk to me. Let me help.

Lily: Oh, my god. He is so cute. He’s getting so big.

Devon: I know.

Lily: You have a little man. Like a little man.

Devon: That’s my man.

Lily: Aw. I love that he fell asleep with his little race car in his hand. That’s so cute.

Abby: The red one is his favorite. Like, he puts it under his pillow at night so they can sleep together.

Lily: Oh, my god. It’s like it’s cuteness overload. I don’t know how you guys do it.

Devon: Well, he is lucky to have his aunt lily to dote over him constantly.

Lily: Yeah. That’s my job. I take it very seriously.

[ Lily laughing ] Oh, by the way, I talked to jill.

Devon: Oh, yeah? Didn’t she head out this morning?

Lily: Yeah. She’s going to detroit to look into lbb and aunt mamie.

Devon: Oh, boy.

Lily: Mm-hmm. She’s convinced that there’s more to mamie’s investment than what she’s claiming.

Devon: We were just talking about that.

Lily: Yeah. But, um, what do you think? Do you think mamie might have a connection to tucker?

Phyllis: Well, danny, thank you for your support.

Danny: Always.

Phyllis: I’m gonna go. I don’t wanna be late. It’s my first day at omegasphere, so.

Danny: Hey, phyllis, best of luck today. I’m gonna be rooting for you.

Phyllis: Thank you. It means a lot. Talk to you later.

Danny: Knock ’em dead.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: [ Sighing ] Can I, uh, have a refill and take it to go?

Tucker: You’ve been a busy woman.

Phyllis: What does that mean?

Tucker: I think you know. Putting your skills to work on a new venture, perhaps helping jack turn the tables on me.

Phyllis: Hm. Why would you say that?

Tucker: You should know by now, phyllis. I have eyes and ears all over this town. At humana, we believe your healthcare should evolve with you, and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you. Humana can help. Hi, my name is sam davis and I’m going to tell you about medicare advantage prescription drug plans that can provide more coverage than original medicare, including prescription drug coverage, all wrapped up into one convenient plan. With original medicare you’re covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each. And then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at medicare supplement plans. If a service is covered under original medicare, then a medicare supplement plan pays for some or all of your medicare deductibles and the 20% coinsurance. But they may have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Humana medicare advantage prescription drug plans include medical coverage, plus prescription drug coverage. As well as dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus a yearly exam. Vision coverage includes vision exams and a yearly allowance toward eyewear such as lenses or contacts. And hearing benefits include routine hearing exams and coverage toward hearing aids. You’re covered for preventive services like annual mammograms and prostate exams. There’s a zero-dollar copay for routine vaccines and telehealth visits. And you get worldwide coverage for emergencies when you travel. You get all of this in one convenient plan. Plus, there’s a cap on your out-of-pocket costs! So, call or go online today to see if there’s a humana plan in your area, to find out if your doctor is in one of our networks, and to get our free decision guide. There’s no obligation, just good information. Humana – a more human way to healthcare.

When the murrays discovered

gain scent beads,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. E, mom, you don’t have

Kyle: I have told you before, mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I am fine.

Diane: Kyle, you’re my son and I love you and you just haven’t seemed like yourself lately, so yes, I am worried about you.

Kyle: You shouldn’t be ’cause I’m okay. Moving on.

Diane: I saw a glimpse of the kyle I know at the reception yesterday when you so beautifully officiated for your father and me as we renewed our vows.

Kyle: I was glad I could be there this time to see you both looking so happy.

Diane: You were the old kyle. You were confident, you were centered and you and summer seem to be getting along. And it looks like the two of you have found a balance.

Kyle: Yeah, we have. Things between us have leveled off.

Diane: Mm-hmm. And then audra showed up and I could literally see the change in your demeanor. It’s like you became a different person.

Kyle: Yes, mom. I know how you feel about audra.

Diane: Look, I can’t tell you what to do, but I can only hope that the friend you referred to, the one whose place you stayed at last night wasn’t her.

Kyle: You don’t need to be concerned about that. And I’m not struggling to find a new path. I am very clear about that now. I know what I want.

Diane: What is that?

Kyle: I want my old job back as co-ceo of jabot. I’m going to replace billy and I’m convinced that will happen.

Devon: I actually witnessed a moment between tucker and aunt mamie at jack and diane’s wedding reception.

Lily: What do you mean “a moment?”

Devon: She walked in the room and they looked at each other like they had been in communication or in contact before. I don’t know how else to describe it.

Lily: Well, did you ask them about it?

Devon: I didn’t bring it up to mamie, but I asked tucker about it and he said that there’s nothing to it.

Lily: But you don’t believe that’s true?

Devon: Not really. Not when he’s tied to so much drama these days. He’s got what happened with your mom in paris. Jack and billy think that he’s going after jabot. And now he might be tied to this chancellor-winters investor.

Abby: And I tend to believe my family’s assessment of tucker. That he’s bad news. I know it’s just a hypothetical and we don’t have all the facts.

Devon: And since he’s come to town, he’s claimed to wanna do right by me as a father and be a grandfather to dominic.

Abby: And he has been, for the most part.

Lily: Yeah. But there’s always the possibility that he’s doing something underhanded.

Devon: Yeah. And that’s the problem. He’s like a damn magnet to trouble. And it’s just been one thing after another since he’s come back to town.

Abby: He just doesn’t know when to stop.

Devon: Well, maybe I need to know when to stop and sever ties with him. Just make a clean break all together.

Phyllis: Hi, jack. Have a great day, jack.

Tucker: Hey, jack. Did you and diane get a chance to open my present?

Jack: We did.

Tucker: I hope you liked it.

Jack: A bonsai tree would be a thoughtful gesture if it were sincere.

Tucker: Do you know the significance of a bonsai tree?

Jack: As a matter of fact, I do. Just having a hard time with trusting that you’re wishing us harmony and balance and…

Tucker: Patience.

Jack: Patience.

Tucker: Well, at least you read the card. A lot of people chuck the card and just go straight for the goods.

Jack: As I said to my brother, billy, I think this gesture was all smoke and mirrors. Did you really think diane and I were that gullible?

Tucker: So much for second chances.

Jack: Oh, I think you’ve had enough second and third chances for a lifetime. We don’t for one minute buy your truce.

Tucker: I– I guess I just don’t understand why. At this point, you have no reason to doubt me.

Jack: Let’s just stop being coy. We know what you put phyllis up to.

Tucker: Phyllis? Why would I involve myself with phyllis?

Jack: For her technical savvy. You had her hack into one of jabot’s accounts, transfer the funds to billy’s account, his personal account, so it looked like he was the one responsible for the breach.

Tucker: Sounds fascinating and elaborate.

Jack: I just want you to know it didn’t work. We are onto you. That money has now been returned to jabot.

Tucker: That’s good news, but it had nothing to do with me or any plan I had.

Jack: The next time you think of doing something against jabot, I suggest you think twice.

Tucker: You’re not gonna order any coffee?

Jack: Seeing you soured me on the idea.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

Phyllis: Hey. So, were you followed?

Jack: No. I thought tucker would do just that, so I took him on a wild goose chase. I lost him.

Phyllis: Great. Great.

Jack: What is this about?

Phyllis: Um… I hacked into tucker’s computer like you wanted me to.

Jack: And?

Phyllis: And I found out that he recently purchased a listening device with an accompanying phone app. So, um, it’s very interesting, uh, when I saw him at the coffee house, he said he had eyes and ears all over genoa city.

Jack: It’s all starting to make sense. Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Phyllis: Oh, that was a honest thank you. Did that hurt?

Jack: Not as much as I thought.

Phyllis: So, we’re square?

Jack: No, we’re on our way.

Phyllis: Well, what’s left?

Jack: Well, it might help if you admit that you did in fact help tucker hack into jabot.

Phyllis: I did not do that.

Jack: You can just say it, phyllis.

Phyllis: I had nothing to do with that.

Jack: It’s me. I still know when you are lying. You know that, right?

Phyllis: You asked me to do you a favor. You said that it would help me redeem myself.

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: But– but I did what you asked. Are you going back on your word?

Jack: No. This is just one step. You and I are not on solid ground.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I think we’ll get there. You know better than to underestimate me.

Jack: Thank you again.

Phyllis: Hey, what are you doing here?

Danny: So, uh, what are you up to, phyllis?

Lily: Devon, are you serious?

Abby: You really wanna give up on your father?

Devon: No, I don’T. But, what am I supposed to do at this point? I can’t keep ignoring what’s right in front of me.

Abby: That’s a big step and not an easy one.

Lily: Well, I know that you were hoping tucker wouldn’t let you down.

Devon: Honestly, I don’t think I ever really had high expectations for our relationship, given our history.

Lily: Well, now he’s part of your life again and dominic’S.

Devon: Oh, tell me about it. He’s a damn regular at dominic’s music classes.

Abby: He’s even made friends with all the other parents in the class. He’s taken so many videos of dominic playing the drums.

Devon: And it seems like he’s really loves embracing that role and like he’s trying to turn his life around.

Lily: So, what do you think changed?

Devon: I really believe that whatever happened with your mom in paris did something to him or undid all the progress he’s been making. I think that he really loved ashley and when that fell apart–

Abby: So did he.

Devon: As much as I don’t wanna think that he’s going backwards in life, the signs are everywhere. And maybe it’s on me now to change the way I respond to him.

Abby: We’ll support you no matter what you decide.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. We have your back.

Devon: Well, thank you. I appreciate you saying that. But I just– I can’t shake the feeling that he is up to something. And I’m not gonna let our family or our company be affected by whatever it is. I will not let that happen.

Diane: Do you mean that? You wanna come back to jabot?

Kyle: I do. I think it’s the right move. I just have to figure out how to make it happen. Dad, hey.

Diane: How was the meeting?

Kyle: What’s going on?

Diane: Jack?

Kyle: Uh, care to explain? Before my doctor and I chose breztri for my copd, getting this? Water doesn’t have to be boring. With over 40 delicious flavors, cirkul starts a party for your tastebuds.

Danny: I thought you were headed to the office.

Phyllis: Oh, I was. I decided to make a stop.

Danny: I keep seeing you and jack together and lots of tension. Um, why is that?

Phyllis: Yeah, there’s tension. Well, he can’t seem to forgive me for what I did. And, um, it’s just uncomfortable.

Danny: And that’s all that it is?

Phyllis: Yep, that’s all. What else would it be?

Danny: I– I don’t know.

Phyllis: Okay. Why are you asking? Why do you care? It seems like you followed me here.

Danny: I saw your exchange with jack and tucker at crimson lights and it seemed a little, I don’t know, weird. A little suspicious maybe?

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Yeah. Tucker’s weird. He can’t even order a cup of coffee in a normal way. I mean, it’s like he’s part of some battle plan.

Danny: I know there’s a lot of animosity between tucker and jack and I just hope that, you know, somehow you’re not caught in the middle of it.

Phyllis: Thank you. I’m not caught in the middle. You sound paranoid.

Daniel: Paranoid about what?

Danny: Hey.

Audra: Hm. Well, good morning to you.

Tucker: Speak for yourself.

Audra: What’s wrong?

Tucker: It’s jack. Trying to get phyllis to play double agent.

Audra: Against you?

Tucker: No. I can’t figure out if she’s onto anything yet.

Audra: Well, you know, phyllis is unpredictable. Hard to read.

Tucker: Mm. I just don’t– I don’t see jack teaming up with her though. Why would he even trust her at this point?

Audra: Well, they have a very public, extremely volatile history that can really blur the line between allies and enemies.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly.

Audra: You know, phyllis is desperate for forgiveness, so maybe she’s willing to work overtime in order to get it.

Tucker: Yeah. Jack already figured out that she helped me break into jabot’s financials though, so I don’t know why he would give her the benefit of the doubt.

Audra: Well, that’s his problem.

Tucker: Could be mine too. I gotta stay ahead of this.

Audra: And you will, okay? Because you won’t let us down. You told me to have faith in you, remember?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. What about you? How are things on your end? Were you able to reignite the flame with kyle?

Audra: Yeah, it was pretty easy and most enjoyable.

Tucker: You’re glowing. You have nice little chipper attitude.

Audra: I haven’t even told you the best part. Kyle is after billy’s job.

Tucker: You don’t say? Hm. I seem to recall that kyle had the co-ceo position before. Makes sense to me that he’d want it back.

Audra: You don’t seem surprised.

Tucker: I’m not.

Audra: So, that’s what this was about. You want billy out of the picture at jabot and kyle is the way to do it.

Diane: So, what’s going on?

Jack: I had my meeting with phyllis. She hacked into tucker’s computer and discovered he recently purchased a listening device and the app to go with it.

Diane: The bonsai tree.

Jack: Tucker’s little gift of harmony had his hidden surprise.

Kyle: Ah, that son of a bitch!

Diane: Peace, love, and forgiveness my ass. And I– I was hoping we wouldn’t have to worry, I’m sorry.

Jack: No, you have nothing to apologize for. You have a generous spirit. I’m a little more jaded.

Diane: And phyllis discovered this and just gave you the information no strings attached?

Jack: Yes, phyllis gave it to me, but phyllis was phyllis. I tried to get her to admit she helped tucker to frame billy and she wouldn’t have any of that.

Diane: Of course not.

Kyle: This is a bold move on tucker’s part.

Jack: That is tucker to his core.

Kyle: So, why not just destroy it?

Jack: I thought about that. I changed my mind.

Diane: Why?

Jack: This could be useful. If tucker isn’t on to us, we can use this to our advantage.

Young & The Restless Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Okay, here’s one. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths. That will give me an office and a guest room. Don’t really know if I need all that space, but I guess we’ll figure it out.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Daniel sighing ] Heather. When did you get here? Um, come on in. Sorry.

Heather: Yeah. I– I got in this afternoon, actually.

Daniel: Is lucy with you?

Heather: No. Uh, she’s in lisbon with paul and christine. I just came back to wrap up the last of those pro bono cases that I handled over the summer. Two more days in court.

Daniel: Okay. It’s great to see you.

Heather: Yeah, you too.

Daniel: Is everything all right?

Heather: Yeah, everything’s fine.

Daniel: Are you sure? Because you– you seem a little flustered.

Heather: Just busy. I have a lot, you know.

Daniel: Yeah, but it’s more than that, isn’t it?

Heather: I don’t know, daniel, it’s, um, it’s, uh…

[ Heather exhaling ] This–

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, okay. Okay. What is it? Look, it’s– it’s me. You can talk to me. What’s going on?

Diane: Thank you for today. It was a perfect, beautiful afternoon. Well, almost perfect.

Jack: No, no, no, don’t even go there. I am going to pretend that, that interruption from tucker never even happened. Nothing is going to spoil this moment. And I am standing here alone with my beautiful wife, telling her how much I love her.

Kyle: Thank you.

Audra: I’m guessing you want me to reconnect with kyle so I can use him. You expect me to manipulate him into doing something that benefits you.

Tucker: You know the plan.

Audra: Kyle was never part of the plan.

Tucker: Hey, you keep your eye on the prize. Jabot. We’re gonna take over that company and you are gonna step in and you are gonna run it. Don’t worry about kyle. He’s a means to an end. Unless, of course, he means more to you than you let on.

Audra: Wow, kyle. Twice in one night. You know, I think the universe might be trying to tell us something.

Kyle: Hello, audra.

Audra: Hi, how are you doing? We didn’t really get a chance to talk at the reception.

Kyle: Is that why you followed me here? Or did you have something else on your mind?

Traci: Jack and diane seem so happy, don’t they, billy?

Billy: Yeah. No, it was a very lovely ceremony.

Traci: Yeah. And for kyle to be the one to pronounce them husband and wife is just, I mean, how awesome is that? Billy. Billy!

Billy: What? Yeah.

Traci: Do you figure if you stare at that long enough you’re gonna– you’re gonna be able to tell what’s inside?

Billy: I’m not just staring at it. I mean, are you not curious about what’s inside here?

Traci: No, I don’t care one little bit what sick idea of a wedding gift tucker mccall has given them. And jack doesn’t care either, which is why he’s told us to ignore it and throw it out. So, what are we waiting for?

Audra: So, even if ashley gave you a sign, you’d still go after jabot?

Tucker: Absolutely. She showed me who she really is in paris. And so, now I’m left to believe that everything that came before is just a game. A ploy to pull me back in.

Audra: But why?

Tucker: God knows. Probably some long ago resentment she can’t let go of.

Audra: I think you’re wrong. No, I think she did fall back in love with you. She just found it harder to break away from her family than she thought.

Tucker: I think you missed your calling. Sadly, therapists don’t make the kind of money you’d be interested in though.

Audra: I know what I saw.

Tucker: Not from personal experience, I assume?

Audra: I’ve never been in love in that way.

Tucker: Well, take it from me, it’s highly overrated.

Audra: Well, at least you’ve been there. And I think you still are.

Tucker: In love with ashley?

Audra: Yes. And I also believe that if you gave yourself permission, you know, to go back to that place, you’d give her another chance and call off this attack.

Tucker: Let me be perfectly clear about something, audra. There is nothing that will stop me from dismantling the abbotts and taking everything they hold dear. Nothing.

Both: Hey.

Tucker: What a nice surprise. Sit down. Let me buy you a drink.

Devon: How about, uh, first, you tell me how sincere you really were about making peace with jack earlier. This isn’t charmin!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Tucker: My best wishes to jack and diane were absolutely sincere.

Devon: Since when? What’s changed?

Tucker: Me. My attitude about things. Ashley broke my heart, so I was determined to have her family suffer the way I had suffered. I was driven to have my revenge on them until I realized I can’t hold the abbotts accountable for what she does. Any more than you should be held accountable for something I might do.

Devon: Well, that sounds reasonable.

Tucker: It was as much for me as it was for them. Let me tell you, vengeance can be exhausting.

Devon: I can imagine.

Tucker: Something tells me you’re not quite believing me though.

Devon: I would like to believe you.

Tucker: But?

Devon: But you don’t make it easy all the time. At all. I got conflicting stories that I’m hearing about you. People contacting me worried about what you’re gonna do. I know you came to town going after the abbotts and wanting to make them pay for whatever bad things you thought they did to you.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s all true.

Devon: So, you can understand then why your sudden shift in attitude might surprise some people.

Tucker: Including you?

Devon: Especially me.

Tucker: Well, I can’t think of any other way to prove it to you than the actions I take going forward. I realize that I have disappointed you quite a bit in the past, but I’m telling you right here now, I have no ulterior motive. I feel like my demons have been silenced. I just don’t want any more chaos in my life. Just peace and quiet.

Devon: Well, I hope that’s true.

Tucker: You can count on it.

Devon: I have another question for you. What’s your connection to aunt mamie?

Daniel: Can I, uh, get you something to drink? You want a water or anything?

Heather: No, I’m fine, thanks.

Daniel: So, what’s– what’s– what’s going on? What’s this all about?

Heather: I don’t even know where to start. Um…

Daniel: Well, why don’t you… just tell me what you’re feeling?

Heather: Abject terror?

Daniel: Seriously?

Heather: Uh, no. It’s not that dire. I’m sorry, I didn’t– I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. It’s just that ever since I left genoa city, I– I– I’ve been feeling a little off balance. And, um, it– it– it was like something felt unresolved and I– I don’t– I don’t know what or why.

Daniel: So, this wasn’t just about wrapping up a case?

Heather: No, but it did seem like a good reason to come back and try and figure it all out. It actually started with that conversation with phyllis, when she asked me if I ever thought about returning to the states to live. I mean, that definitely took me by surprise, but it did get me to thinking that– that maybe this feeling of restlessness that I’ve had isn’t just a passing thing. Because ever since I left, the longing to come back home is so strong. I… I can’t ignore it anymore.

Daniel: Well, look, I am all for you guys being closer so I can spend more time with lucy.

Heather: That’s what I came back here to tell you. I’ve decided to wrap up my law practice in europe and move back home.

Daniel: Are– are you serious? I– I don’t– I don’t know what to say. Heather, that’s– that’s fantastic. I mean, I’m– I’m happy. I’m happy for me. I’m happy for you. What– what are you thinking? Are you thinking of going back to uh, savannah?

Heather: No. We’re moving here. Genoa city. I want lucy to be close to her dad.

Audra: I’m not gonna deny it. I did follow you here.

Kyle: Why?

Audra: To talk to you.

Kyle: Oh, the last time we talked, you fired me and then you made it very clear you wanted nothing to do with me, or with us.

Audra: Well, the truth is I missed us.

Kyle: What are you angling for audra?

Audra: I’m not angling for anything. You know, I just regret that things cooled between us. That’s all. You know, I went to the party to tell you that, but you were so occupied all the time, I didn’t really have the chance.

Kyle: You could have tapped me on the shoulder. I was around.

Audra: Yeah, but with nikki and diane glaring at me all night, I kind of lost my nerve.

Kyle: Hm. Because you’re the self-conscious type?

Audra: In some instances, I actually am.

Kyle: Okay. Sure. Well, here we are. So, what now?

Audra: I guess that’s kind of up to you.

[ Kyle chuckling ]

Kyle: Did you really just say that to me? I wasn’t the one who put the brakes on us. That was you. Because you were scared of being fired. I was fine with doing our little thing in private without nikki knowing about it, but then she forced you to ditch me and you lost my number. So, forgive me if I’m not feeling very generous towards you right now.

Audra: Look, everything you’re saying is true. All of the above. But what I’m telling you is, look, I made a mistake and I will do anything I can to try and make it up to you. (Buzz) we’re such great friends we should have a nickname,

Jack: You know what I’ve been thinking?

Diane: What?

Jack: We never danced.

Diane: We didn’t?

Jack: Nope.

Diane: Well, you know, the whole afternoon was such a blur, but you’re right, we didn’T.

Jack: Don’t you think we should?

Diane: Oh, I’m sorry, jack, but the band went home.

Jack: Oh, who needs a band?

Diane: What?

Jack: May I have this dance, mrs. Abbott?

Diane: Of course, mr. Abbott. Aw.

Jack: Hm. We did it. We proved them all wrong. We stood up before god and family and the citizens of genoa city and declared our love for all to see. And they can’t doubt us now. Even nikki was supportive.

Diane: Yeah. And who could’ve imagined that?

Jack: I am just so proud of us. We have shown the world what love and commitment can do. And they have no choice but to accept it, to embrace it, or just turn and walk away. What more could we want?

Diane: Hm. I can think of something.

Jack: Oh, what?

Diane: That this night would last forever. Hm.

[ Door slamming ]

Billy: You know, we could be squandering a real opportunity here.

Traci: I don’t follow you.

Billy: Well, uh, this wedding gift, whatever this is, could be insight into what tucker’s thinking. Right? I mean, [ Sighs ] He loves to believe that he’s more clever than everyone else. Like a riddle from the riddler.

Traci: Or it could be just some– something hateful and despicable that he’s aiming at ashley and the abbotts specifically.

Billy: Uh-huh.

Traci: Or it could be a blender.

[ Laughs ] Oh, I don’t care. Why are you obsessing about this, billy? Come on. Let’s just take it to the trash, open up the lid and put it in there.

Billy: Hm. Okay. Fine.

[ Billy exhaling ] To hell with it.

Traci: Oh, billy, what are you doing?

Billy: No, I’m just satisfying my curiosity.

Traci: Come on, jack said that–

Billy: I know what jack said. He said, get rid of it and I will. I just want to see what’s inside first and we’ll start with the card. “May this symbol of harmony, balance, and patience bring those elements to your new life as husband and wife.” That’s very sweet. It rhymes. Okay.

[ Traci sighing ]

Traci: Hm. I guess that’s it, huh?

Billy: Hm.

Traci: No evil dolls or exploding clocks.

[ Traci laughing ] I hope you’re satisfied.

Tucker: What makes you think there’s some connection between me and your aunt mamie? I hardly know her.

Devon: Well, why did you look at her like that?

Tucker: Like what?

Devon: Like you did. The look you gave each other was clearly more than two people that barely knew each other.

Tucker: I’m sorry, I don’t know what look you’re referring to. Um, if there was a look, you’re misreading it. I mean, seriously, what connection could there possibly be between us? Are you guys watching? This is my favorite part.

Devon: Actually, you know what? Let me back up for you. Um, recently, mamie just made an investment into chancellor-winters and it came completely out of the blue. She didn’t tell me or lily beforehand that she was gonna do it. And her reasoning behind that, I don’t really buy.

Tucker: That’s very interesting, but what does that have to do with me?

Devon: I don’t know what it has to do with you. That’s why I’m asking. Trying to connect the dots. Because when you came to town, you were going after jabot and then you planted audra in my company because you were interested in it. Then, you just recently lost your chance at a new venture with ashley and now you’re claiming that you’re not interested in jabot anymore. And then, suddenly, mamie shows up and she buys a stake in chancellor-winters. So, what should I make of it?

Tucker: It sounds like a series of random, unconnected events to me.

Devon: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: I know what I saw between you and mamie. You can sit here and deny it all you want.

[ Indistinct ] You might as well just tell me what the connection is.

[ Both exhaling ]

Audra: God, I missed that.

Kyle: Uh-huh.

[ Audra sighing ] So, what now?

Audra: Now, we continue to see each other.

Kyle: Really?

Audra: Yes, really.

[ Kyle scoffing ] I want that.

Kyle: What changed?

Audra: Nothing.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: I just decided you’re worth the risk.

Kyle: Hm. Well, I’m flattered, but nikki has her antennas up. So, even if we’re careful, she’s bound to find out eventually.

Audra: Then, let her.

Kyle: I’m serious.

Audra: So am I. You know, I’m no longer concerned with what nikki thinks or does. And if she’s gonna fire me over having a private life, so be it.

Kyle: Wow. That’s a switch. It’s almost like you have a backup plan.

Audra: Hm. Maybe I do.

Heather: What do you think about us moving back here?

[ Daniel scoffing ]

Daniel: I’m thrilled.

Heather: Really? Oh. Sorry. Thank god.

Daniel: I– I’m sorry, but did you think that I wouldn’t be?

Heather: I wasn’t sure how you’d react. I was, um, I was practicing what I would say to you in my room like I was going over arguments for court. I was really nervous.

Daniel: I– I just want to know why though. I mean, you know that I wanted to spend more time with lucy. I– I just– I thought after everything that I put the both of you through that you never wanted to ever be close to me ever again.

Heather: That was a really bad time. You hurt us deeply. Both of us. You destroyed our family.

Daniel: Yeah. No, I’m– I’m aware. Thank you. Um, and you know, that’s something that I’ve struggled with. I struggled, wondering if you would ever be able to forgive me. And I mean, really forgive me. And I think it’s a miracle that lucy and I have been able to get so close again, but… well, for you to say that you wanna come back here. I don’t know what to say. I mean, that’s beyond my wildest dreams.

Heather: I do forgive you, daniel. I have seen such growth, such humility. I mean, you are finally becoming the man I always knew that you could be. So yes, I completely forgive you. Try killing bugs the worry-free way.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Daniel: You have no idea how much that means to me to hear you say that.

Heather: I had to let all that go, daniel. I mean, as much for my own sake as yours. The anger and the resentment was weighing me down. And then, I saw how you changed. How you were with lucy. How much she loves you. How she forgave you and it just went away.

Daniel: [ Exhales ] Well, um, I, for one, am glad that you did not give up on me.

Heather: So am I.

Daniel: And I’m not gonna lie. I kinda love the idea of the two of you moving here. You know, I can see the both of you every single day and I don’t know, we can just be a family again.

Heather: That’s all I needed to hear.

Kyle: So, what’s this backup plan of yours?

Audra: Hm?

Kyle: Well, you don’t seem to be scared of nikki’s wrath anymore. So, what are you cooking up?

Audra: I just missed you. Isn’t that enough?

Kyle: I am flattered audra, but I know you. So, what else are you doing?

Audra: I never said I had a backup plan, okay? Just that, you know, there’s a few possibilities out there. That’s all.

Kyle: And you aren’t gonna tell me what they are?

Audra: Well, I don’t wanna jinx it, kyle. Not until I actually know what’s gonna happen for sure. Anyway, I’d much rather talk about you.

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: What about me?

Audra: Hm. Well, it’s been a while since, you know, you left newman media. I’m sure you have a few irons in the fire.

Kyle: Oh, since you fired me?

Audra: After nikki forced me to fire you, okay? I regret caving into her. I do. And, you know, I– I made a mistake. And didn’t I just prove to you how I really feel about you? So, can we please just drop it?

Kyle: Mm. Well, consider it dropped.

Audra: Thank you.

Kyle: Well, yes, I do have a few possibilities of my own.

Audra: I mean, if you don’t want to tell me that’s fine. It’s– it’s only fair.

Kyle: No, I’m not scared of jinxes. So, there are rumblings at jabot that my dad is, surprise, surprised, not too happy with billy’s performance. So, there may be an opening there soon.

Audra: Oh.

Kyle: That’s an underwhelming response.

Audra: Well, I’m sorry, kyle, but even if that were true, do you really think jack would give that position to you?

Diane: I’m so glad that kyle agreed to officiate.

Jack: Seems to me the least he could do for his parents, don’t you think?

Diane: That’s true. I loved it.

Jack: It was lovely. I liked it a lot too.

Diane: I saw it as a sign that he is fully on board with our marriage. And you know what else I saw as a positive sign? That he didn’t bring a date to the wedding.

Jack: Need I remind you audra showed up?

Diane: Yeah, but kyle barely even acknowledged her. And he and summer seem to be getting along, so I don’t know, maybe there’s hope for their little family.

Jack: Maybe.

Diane: You don’t seem very optimistic.

Jack: Oh, I don’t know. If it happens, it happens. The one thing I do know is nothing good will come of us pushing him. And audra did show up and as I saw it, she was pretty interested in rekindling things.

Diane: Yeah. But it takes two people on board to make that happen. And kyle definitely seemed not to be.

Tucker: Yes, I know mamie as someone to say hello to, but that’s as far as it goes. I don’t know how you go from there to– to me using her to get my hooks into chancellor-winters?

Devon: So, the look you gave her was just–

Tucker: It was just a look. It was a glance, recognition. Oh, look, there’s mamie. Frankly, I’m afraid you’re buying into the town’s collective suspicion of me. If you saw something in that look, maybe mamie has an ulterior motive, but it’s got nothing to do with me.

Devon: Okay.

Tucker: Is that okay, yes I believe you? Or, okay, I still have my doubts?

Devon: That an okay, that I’m choosing to believe you.

Tucker: It still doesn’t solve your problem though, does it?

Devon: What do you mean?

Tucker: Well, you’re concerned there’s something going on with your investor. What is it? Maybe I can help? You know that feeling of having to rewash dishes

Jack: Is that what I think it is?

Billy: Yes. I opened up tucker’s wedding gift.

Traci: Honestly, jack, I tried.

Jack: I’m sure you did.

Billy: And so, what?

Jack: So what? Once again, you have completely ignored what I asked you to do.

Billy: I was curious, jack.

Jack: Oh. And your curiosity led you to this plant? I’m sure there was a great payoff for that. Huh?

Billy: No, no. What do you think?

Jack: You don’t want to know what I think?

Diane: You know what? I’m glad that billy opened it.

Jack: Why?

Diane: Why? Because it takes its power away. If we would have just thrown it away and never discovered what it was, we’d always be wondering and talking about tucker’s gift. You know, is it a message or a warning or an olive branch?

Jack: Frankly, I don’t give a damn.

Diane: Really, jack? Are you that much more evolved than the rest of us?

Jack: I didn’t say that.

Billy: Well, you sure implied a whole hell of a lot.

Jack: You’re both completely missing my point. The reason I want that thing thrown away is I don’t want tucker mccall in any way, shape, or form intruding on what is one of the happiest days of my life. Here we are talking about tucker, speculating about tucker. I have had it up to here. I want this over and done with.

Diane: All right. Well, I would like to think that this gift is tucker’s way of expressing the same thing. That– that he’s done being at war with the abbotts and he wants peace.

Jack: I wish I shared your optimism. Nothing that man has ever done should be taken at face value. I know you see this as a harmless gift, but tucker isn’t done.

Tucker: Tell me what’s going on. Why are you worried about mamie buying a piece of chancellor-winters?

Devon: It’s– it’s just a feeling I get.

Tucker: That’s all good. I can work with that.

Devon: Uh, I didn’t know it was this late. I need to get back home.

Tucker: Okay, some other time then?

Devon: Sure. Some other time.

Tucker: Um, devon.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Are we good? Do you still suspect that I’m involved in some kind of conspiracy? Whatever it might be.

Devon: Tucker. Honestly, if you meant what you said earlier, then I’m happy and relieved.

Tucker: But you still have your doubts? I just hope someday that, uh, we come to a point where suspicion of me is not your first instinct.

Devon: I mean, that’s really up to you, right?

Tucker: Indeed it is.

Devon: I’ll see you later.

Tucker: See you.

Heather: One of the good things– thank you. That my dad taught me was that life is too short to not go after the things that are important to you. So, I did it when I moved to portugal, even if it was to escape a bad situation, and I guess I’m doing it again. Deciding to leave a successful law practice over there to start all over again in a new place.

Daniel: Oh, well, you know, I wouldn’t say you’re starting all over again. And, you know, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll be just as successful here in genoa city.

Heather: Thank you. I appreciate your support.

Daniel: Yeah. And, you know, you have options too. If you want to stay in private practice, you can do that. If– if you want, I can talk to devon and lily, see if maybe there’s something they can set you up with over at chancellor-winters.

Heather: I don’t want any favors.

Daniel: This would be doing them a favor. Trust me. Um, when are you planning on making this move? What’s the timeline look like?

Heather: Immediately? If you’re taking an antidepressant So, you know, she doesn’t

Heather: The reason why I wanted to come back right away is to get lucy situated in school. So, you know, she doesn’t miss too much of the year.

Daniel: That makes sense and I can take care of that while you get everything packed up.

Heather: That’s great. Thank you.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, if there’s anything that you can think of that you want or need, just ask and I’ll get it done.

Heather: I will.

Daniel: This is really happening, huh?

Heather: It’s crazy, huh? You know, life just surprises you and takes you to places you never thought you’d ever go.

Daniel: Or come back to you.

Heather: You made this really, really easy, daniel. Thank you. This went so much better than I thought it would or however I feared it would go.

Daniel: I’m a little surprised that you thought it could go poorly because I gotta tell you, I am 100% on board here. I– I cannot be happier.

Heather: I’m about to grab a bite. You want to join?

Daniel: Uh, I– I would– I would love to, but I actually have a dinner appointment that I’m already late for. So, um, what about a drink tomorrow?

Heather: Yeah. I’d love that.

Daniel: This is– this is gonna be great.

Heather: Yeah, I think so too.

Daniel: So tomorrow.

Heather: Tomorrow.

Daniel: I’ll call you.

Heather: I’ll look forward to it.

Kyle: Why do you think my dad wouldn’t offer me the top job at jabot? I’ve had it once before.

Audra: Yes. But he’s always figured out a way to push you aside whenever it suited him.

Kyle: I was responsible for some of that too.

Audra: I mean, I think it’s great that you’re taking some ownership, but, you know, even if billy is pushed out the door, wouldn’t logical wisdom make diane next in line?

Kyle: Mm-mm. I don’t think so.

Audra: Why not?

Kyle: I love my mother, but between you and me, she’s not ready for a high-level position like that. She hasn’t been there before and on some level, my dad knows that too.

Audra: Hm. Okay. So, what happens if jack doesn’t get rid of billy?

Kyle: Then, I’ll just have to help things along.

Diane: I’m not saying tucker is as zen as he claims to be. He’s still a snake. But now we have some leverage with that snake and maybe that’s why he’s giving up the war.

Traci: I suppose it’s possible.

Billy: Uh.

Jack: I don’t know.

Diane: We’re so used to being on guard with everything that tucker does or says or even thinks. We need a new perspective. Jack, we were just outside and you were saying how nice it was to be together and not worry about the world and all its problems. We just renewed our wedding vows. It is time for a fresh start. We shouldn’t waste our time or our lives waiting for tucker mccall to drop another shoe.
