Kyle: Hey, you’re home early.

Diane: Hi. Yeah, I just had some reading to catch up on, so I thought I’d finish my work day here. Plus, harrison should be back soon, so I thought it’d be fun if we played outside together before dark.

Kyle: Ah, I love that.

Diane: Yeah. But you know what? I can read later if you have time now.

Kyle: Time for what?

Diane: Oh, I don’t know. To sit and talk. I haven’t seen much of you in the last couple of days. So, how have you been keeping busy? Networking, I assume. Maybe polishing your resume? Um, any exciting job leads?

Kyle: Nope.

Diane: You know, your father and I are still hoping you’ll come back to jabot.

Kyle: Mom–

Diane: I know, I know, I know you’re only interested in retaking the co-ceo position. Nothing less.

Kyle: Dad said replacing billy wasn’t outside the realm of possibility.

Diane: Right. And it seemed like he was about to get rid of billy and bring you back, and then somehow billy talked his way into staying.

Kyle: Of course, he did.

Diane: Yeah. Billy feeds jack’s darker impulses. And I’ve told your father that I don’t think it’s a good idea for the two of them to be working so closely together.

Kyle: Mom, you don’t have to push so hard. If I’m still out and billy’s back in, so be it.

Diane: Is it wrong of me to enjoy working with my son?

Kyle: No, but I don’t want dad to give me my old job back just because you badgered him into it.

Billy: Hey, how’d the marketing meeting go?

Jack: Uh, the agency pitched a few taglines for this new fragrance we’re marketing, some of them were promising. Uh, I’ll keep you up to speed on all of that. Right now, I’m more interested in any updates you can give me.

Billy: I talked to tucker.

Jack: Great. And?

Billy: I told him we know about the singer, we know about the cover-up and how bad this is for him. And that we will not hesitate to use the information if he does not back off.

Jack: And? How did he react?

Billy: Nonchalant, as usual as if he can zen his way out of trouble.

Jack: I’m not buying it. Are you?

Billy: Nope. He’s in total panic.

Nikki: Well, that was a very productive lunch.

Audra: Agreed. And I’m ready to hit the ground running on those items we discussed.

Nikki: And I have a new assistant.

Audra: Yes, I’m glad you think claire will be a good addition to the team.

Tucker: Audra. Hi. Excuse me. I need to talk to you now, in private.

Audra: I can’t right now, tucker. Sorry.

Adam: Pops.

Victor: Hey, son. What brings you by?

Adam: Uh, I just was following up on something.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Something for nate?

Adam: No, not for my new boss. Earlier when you were so jovial when you said everything was falling in place with the family, that was all bs, right?

Victor: Have you ever known me to say anything I don’t mean?

Adam: You’re not sure that I can be trusted, especially when it comes to victoria, right? When– when are you gonna see that? I am not the one that you should be worried about.

Nick: Adam kissed you? When? How? Did he take advantage of you? I swear to god, I’m gonna rip his head off. (Husband) leftovers again? I am in love with mixtiles.

Sally: Look, I didn’t mean to blurt it out like that. It really wasn’t a big deal.

Nick: Not a big deal? My brother kissing my girlfriend’s not a big deal?

Sally: Okay. We had dinner together. It was a spontaneous spur-of-the-moment thing. We ran into each other at the athletic club, we both needed to eat. Seemed like a good idea at the time. It was just a friendly, innocent dinner, celebrating new beginnings and his reset at newman. My new venture.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: We probably had a little too much to drink and adam– adam asked to walk me back to my suite after dinner. I agreed.

Nick: And then he kissed you?

Sally: Yeah, he– he kissed me good night, but he instantly regretted it and he said he was sorry.

Nick: I highly doubt my brother regretted anything. He took advantage of the fact that I was gone.

Sally: No, no.

Nick: Hey, nick’s out of town. Let me real quick try and seduce sally and see if I can convince her to dump him and get back with me.

Sally: No, nick, that’s not what happened.

Nick: That is exactly what happened. This is how my brother operates. It’s who he is.

Sally: He really did seem to feel bad afterward.

Nick: I highly doubt that. So what? He kissed you, then what?

Sally: What? What– what do you mean?

Nick: What did he say? Did he say anything else? Like uh, that he still loved you or he thought the two of you still belonged together?

Victor: I assume you’re implying that I should be worried about your sister?

Adam: Yes. I mean, that was– that was quite an act she put on earlier. Suddenly pleasant and rational. No issues at all. I mean, you saw right through that, right?

Victor: You know I’m not worried about anyone. Not your sister, not nate, not you.

Adam: Well, then you are not looking closely enough.

Victor: I run this damn place. If any problem should raise its ugly head, I’ll excise it.

Adam: Gonna nip it?

Victor: Anyone who is disloyal to me or to newman enterprises.

Victoria: All right. Let’s hear it. What happened with my father after I left?

Nate: I am pleased to report, victor seems wary of adam’s alleged turnaround.

Victoria: Well, thank god. I mean, I was starting to think that dad was buying into it by the way he was acting.

Nate: Yeah. I– I thought so too. He was being very positive about the new situation.

Victoria: Well, yeah. My dad is not much of a cheerleader. He doesn’t get giddy about teamwork. That’s just another reason that I’m starting to think something’s off. So, what did he say, specifically?

Nate: Victor’s skeptical of adam’s seeming willingness to start at the bottom and do as he’s told.

Victoria: I’m really happy to hear that. I mean, that’s good news that my father doesn’t trust adam any more than we do.

Nate: Yeah. Yeah. I was really worried your father was buying into adam’s contrition. Believing he had undergone some kind of miracle transformation. Fortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Victoria: Oh, what a relief.

Nate: Victor does think that things are falling into place a little too easily for there not to be red flags. But victoria, it is not just adam victor doubts. He was referring to your apparent turnaround as well.

Victoria: Oh, really?

Nate: Well, he told me you claim to have accepted the recent moves. Him back in the ceo chair, you in the number two slot and your mother at newman media. And that you were willing to give adam a chance.

Victoria: Claimed. So, my dad doesn’t believe that I’m sincere?

Nate: He says he wants to believe you, but you were pretty angry just a few days ago. Given that, it’s not a surprise your father is a little suspicious, right? Were you being honest with what you said? Are you really okay with your father’s plans for newman enterprises and where that leaves you? Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Diane: Okay. I am not going to pressure jack on your behalf. Does– does that even sound like me? All right. I can be determined when I want something. But you know as well as I do that jack wants you back at jabot.

Kyle: If you say so.

Diane: Would you reconsider some other executive spot like you were offered when you left marchetti?

Kyle: You make it sound like I willingly walked away. Dad essentially fired me. He considered summer more valuable to the company than me.

Diane: That’s not true.

Kyle: Mom, come on.

Diane: All right. I’m sure we could find something in the company that you would enjoy. An interim position.

Kyle: Interim to what?

Diane: All right. You didn’t hear it from me, but billy is going to be out. Again. Soon. I know that sounds cold, but history has a way of repeating itself.

Kyle: No, you’re not cold, you’re a realist and I suspect you could be right. At least I hope so. I mean, I worry about the harm billy could cost jabot as ashley was worried about you.

Billy: So, did you talk to phyllis?

Jack: Oh, yeah. Read her the riot act for teaming up with tucker and coming after us. After jabot. I also made it clear to her, he is going to try to create a rift between us. And if she helps him, well, so much for her claims that she is trying to turn her life around and be a better person.

Billy: So, she admitted to working with tucker?

Jack: She didn’t admit to anything, but it’s phyllis. I know her. She is covering. I also made it clear to her she’d go a long way toward redeeming herself if she could help us figure out what tucker is planning.

Billy: Jack, we can’t trust her.

Jack: I don’t, but it’s pretty clear to me, she desperately wants the people she cares about to trust her. She wants redemption, billy. And she was willing to do anything she can to get it.

Billy: So, you’re hoping she comes over to the good guys side?

Jack: Well, we’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, hopefully, your little meeting with tucker will dissuade him from coming after us and we won’t need phyllis at all.

Billy: But if not…

Jack: If not, phyllis may be just the weapon we need.

Audra: How am I supposed to know how to respond when I have no idea what you’re talking about?

Tucker: A singer signed to the mccall label who, it turned out, was getting involved with underage girls on the road. Ringing any bells? He went to jail for statutory rape when the tour was finished.

Audra: Yeah, because the pr department decided to cover it up. Yes, I– I remember.

Tucker: Yeah. And do you remember that I asked you to clean up this mess so it would not come back to haunt us? I fired everyone on that pr team and told you to take care of the rest.

Audra: I did take care of it. I– I deleted all the information relating to that decision.

Tucker: And then decided it was a good idea to email me the progress. Emails I never got because they went to my junk mail.

Audra: Okay. So what? Okay, tucker, that was years ago and– and didn’t you wipe the system when you sold the company?

Tucker: Of course, I did, audra, but apparently the junk mail remained on one of the servers, and guess who has found it? Adam freakin’ newman.

Audra: How?

Tucker: How do you think? He is in charge of the company now, is he not? He has access to everything. Does he not?

Audra: I know that, okay? What does this all mean exactly?

Tucker: Well, he needed some leverage over me, so he went digging until he found it.

Audra: And you believe him?

Tucker: See if this sounds familiar. “Singer problem remedied. Hands clean.” You got careless and now you’ve put us both in jeopardy. And now you’re gonna fix it.

Audra: If this is about the mccall issue, kyle’s up to speed. Besides the threat has been neutralized. So, uh, this is over.

Tucker: You’ll forgive me if I’m gonna need a little more than just your say so.

Kyle: That should be enough.

Tucker: Who the hell’s talking to you?

Audra: If I’m not worried about it, tucker, you shouldn’t be either, okay? You can go check in with adam if you want. But as far as we’re concerned, this is over.

Tucker: My whole world is a celebration, everything. It’s just everything’s coming up roses. You on the other hand…

Adam: You know, I still have those emails. So, maybe I will let that evidence slip out just to wipe that smile off your face.

Tucker: I don’t think you’d be that foolish.

Adam: You think? I mean, I’m a screw up and I always will be, right?

Tucker: Yeah. No, no, no, no.

Billy: And stick with me, okay? Because we’re gonna go down memory lane a little bit. Back to a time when you and audra were running the mccall record label. Remember that? There was an artist of yours that had a thing for underage girls.

Tucker: Hm.

Billy: Yeah, you must have thought that you buried all the evidence, huh? All those emails back and forth between you and audra. Talking about how you were gonna cover it all up to save your ass. Guess who’s got those emails now, tucker? I do. And I’m gonna use them to crush you unless you back off.

Adam: Okay, you have my attention. What is it that I’m going to regret?

Tucker: You were supposed to destroy evidence of a certain problem at mccall. And what you did instead was sell that evidence to the highest bidder.

Adam: I– I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. I did destroy the evidence. Maybe somebody made copies. Audra? Perhaps you can’t trust her as much as you–

Tucker: No, it was you, adam.

Adam: Hm. Just out of curiosity who is the uh, highest bidder that you mentioned?

Tucker: Billy.

Adam: Billy abbott? Really? Oh, it’s– it’s fascinating. So, what is he using the, uh, singer’s misdeeds as leverage? And the timing doesn’t make sense. I mean, what could you have that he would want so badly? Family is just very important.

Tucker: You know, adam, I was perfectly content just letting you live your life. I was gonna forget about your attempts to blackmail me. And using phyllis to undercut my plans.

Adam: Again, tucker, I don’t have any idea what you’re–

Tucker: Shut up. It’s been a long time since you and I were friends, but now, you’ve made me your enemy. I hope you understand what a monumental mistake that is.

Victoria: I am going along with my father’s wishes. At least for now.

Nate: Mm-hmm. For now.

Victoria: Well, are you doing what he wants you to do? Becoming adam’s best friend?

Nate: Adam is my assistant and I will treat him as such. Like I told you, I don’t plan to give him anything beyond menial tasks. I’m not about to trust him with anything he can use to hurt the company. And I have no plans to cultivate a relationship outside the office. Adam is aware. He claims he’s determined to earn my trust, which we both know is not going to happen.

Victoria: Adam’s lies are so predictable. So, my father didn’t ask you to do anything? He didn’t ask you to suss me out and see what my true feelings were so you could report back to him?

Nate: Of course not. He seems to want my focus on adam.

Victoria: Well, I still think that he’s trying to pull you over to his side and enlist you as an ally in case I decide to rebel.

Nate: To what end? Does he think I can talk you down, diffuse any tension?

Victoria: My father likes loyalty.

Nate: Okay. Victoria, I am always on your side, and you know that. The only reason I’m supporting your father is because I’m trying to protect you. So, if I have to be the buffer between the two of you for things to run smoothly at newman, so be it. But again, I have to ask, is victor’s concern valid? Are you playing games or did you mean it when you accepted your demotion without a fight?

Victoria: I meant it, nate, 100%.

Sally: Nick, don’t make too much out of this, okay? It didn’t mean anything to me.

Nick: But it meant everything to him.

Sally: Okay. He kissed me. I didn’T…

Nick: How did you feel afterward?

Adam: I’m sorry. That was, um– that was a mistake.

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was.

Adam: Well, in my defense. Um, it wasn’t me that kissed you. It was my um, champagne brain. Would you, uh, mind if we just pretend like that never happened?

Sally: Pretend what never happened? I– I don’t know what what you’re talking about.

Adam: Thank you. Goodnight.

Sally: You’re welcome. And, yeah, good night.

Nick: Sally, there’s no judgment here, okay? I’m not mad at you, I promise. But I need to know everything, no matter what. Just be honest. I need to know how you felt because it’s obvious adam’s never gonna let this go, no matter what he says.

Sally: I had a mixed reaction, I guess. I– I don’t know how I felt. No question, the kiss was out of line. And– and I really do feel like he was sincere when he said he was sorry and…

Nick: And what?

Sally: I don’t know. It’s hard to just see how much pain he’s in. Still being in love with me and knowing that I’m with you.

Nick: So, there is a part of you that is still in love with him? You didn’t live this strong,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: I don’t know how to answer that, nick.

Nick: Meaning you are still in love with him.

Sally: No, no, I did not say that. I did not say that. It’s not black and white. It– it’s like you and sharon. You know, just because the relationship is over and– and– and over for years, does not mean that all the feelings just disappear.

Nick: Sally, it’s not the same thing, all right? It’s not even close. You still have feelings for adam. It’s why you haven’t been able to take that next emotional step with me. Why you have never been able to completely let him go.

Sally: No, I have let him go. I have. I– I’ve cut emotional ties and romantic ties. We’re just friends. Really. That’s it. We’re friends.

Nick: I wish that were true. I really do. But you’re either lying to yourself or you’re not admitting the truth. Adam has a hold on you. Maybe he always will.

Sally: Look, nick, please. Okay. We are in such a good place and I really love what we have together. I– I don’t want to feel this way, okay? I– I– I don’t want to feel confused and– and mixed up. If– if I could straighten out my jumbled-up emotions right now, I would. But you asked me and this is where I’m at. But it doesn’t mean that I care about you any less. Just please tell me I haven’t screwed this up.

[ Sally sighs ]

Nate: All right then. You tell me you’re sincere, I believe you. And it really is for the best if you’re on good terms with your father right now. Don’t you think?

Victoria: Yes, I agree. I mean, I can tell my father over and over again that returning to newman and running the company day to day is a colossal mistake, but until he’s ready to hear it, it’s not gonna mean anything. I think that keeping the peace is in my best interest long term.

Nate: And you really believe your father in the ceo chair is a serious misstep? Your demotion aside.

Victoria: Absolutely. The fact that he brought adam back inside the company? I mean, it’s just more proof to me that he’s having some serious errors in his judgment.

Nate: Okay. But there’s nothing you can do about that.

Victoria: No, not right now. But you and I, we both put adam on notice and reminded him that you are his boss. You’re gonna be keeping a close eye on him and you’re gonna be on top of him in a heartbeat if he tries anything.

Nate: That’s not gonna stop him.

Victoria: No, obviously not. I mean, eventually, adam is going to try to make some sort of move that’s gonna benefit him. And it’s going to be detrimental for the company. Unfortunately, that might be what it takes to get my father to the breaking point.

Diane: I am jabot’s chief talent officer, you know. Let me find a position for you that will suit your enormous talents.

Kyle: Mm, no thanks, mom.

Diane: Kyle, being back at jabot will show your father that you still want to be part of the family business. And then when billy screws up, which he will do, you will be able to step back in.

Kyle: All right. It sounds good in theory. But what if, by chance, billy doesn’t screw up and dad doesn’t want to replace him? What then?

Diane: Then you’ll still have a good job at jabot instead of spending your days doing whatever it is you’ve been doing.

Kyle: No, I– I can’t go backward. I have already proven myself as a leader. I would rather hang out with harrison every day and live a happy carefree life than be stuck in the middle with nowhere to go, forever in my father’s shadow.

Jack: Kyle.

Kyle: Hey, dad. Billy.

Billy: Hey. I’m sorry to hear about newman media.

Kyle: Yeah.

Billy: What’s the plan next?

Kyle: I’m not sure. Mom and i were just discussing options.

Diane: And I’m sure my brilliant son will have a slew of companies who want to hire him.

Jack: I hope you know we would all be very happy to have you return to jabot.

Kyle: I know. We’ll see. Excuse me.

Billy: See you.

Jack: Is he okay?

Victoria: When you demoted me, I know I fought you on it. It just– my feelings were hurt because my position had just been stripped away from me and I– I mean, I took it so personally.

Victor: It was a business decision.

Victoria: I see that now. I’ve put aside my anger and I’m willing to let go of these feelings that I have about adam. I know that this company is stronger than he is. I know it can survive anything.

Victor: I’m very glad you feel that way again. Because I was beginning to feel that our relationship was becoming untenable.

Victoria: Well, what would you have done if that had been the case?

Victor: I would have fired you. And should it get to that point again? I still might.

Nikki: Hello, darling.

Victor: Hi, my sweetheart.

Nikki: Mwah. Mwah.

Victor: That’s what I need. Midday kisses from my baby.

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: How’s your day?

Nikki: Great. I just hired a new assistant. And she’s a lovely young woman who I think will be a great asset to newman media. You’ll meet her soon.

Victor: Wonderful.

Nikki: Now, how about you? Have you talked to victoria?

Victor: Yeah. Victoria came by earlier and we had an interesting conversation. She had a change of heart. She says she’s going to try working within the new corporate structure.

Nikki: And you believe her?

Victor: Let’s say hope springs eternal.

Nikki: Well, I’m still not sure about her working with adam. I just cannot see that working, especially with him in a subordinate position.

Victor: Yeah, you have said that before. And I understand your concerns. But, let me ask you something. Is that all you’re worried about? Or are you really concerned about my resuming the full-time job here?

Nikki: Would it make any difference if I said yes?

Adam: Well, hello, you two. Your guys’ new ventures must be doing well if you got time for a romantic picnic in the park in the middle of a workday.

Nick: You better keep walking. I don’t want to hear a word from you.

Adam: Okay, nick, I really wish you could just let go of what happened at mccall-kirsten.

Nick: I’m not in the mood to let anything you do go, adam. Wowwww…

Nikki: I know you think that,

Victor: Sweetheart, this is the best place for me to be right now. That’s it.

Nikki: I know you think that, but the long hours and the stress, I– I just worry about the toll it will take on you. Now, remember I wanted you to go on a lovely relaxing trip with me before you jumped back into the fray, but you shot me down.

Victor: Baby, where does this come from? Don’t I look healthy?

Nikki: You look very healthy and quite handsome, I might add. But, you and I should not be taking on any unnecessary stress. You know this. My ms and the health issues that you have battled. I am determined to take care of you just like you have taken care of me all these years.

Victor: I know you have always taken care of me, okay?

Nikki: I want you to be with me for a very long time.

Victor: And I want you to be with me for the rest of our lives. But sweetheart, I feel good around here, you know. I love the stress of this place, wheeling and dealing and international calls and straightening things out. And besides that, I’d be with my children. I see more of them here than I would see them sitting on my ass at the ranch. Man of leisure.

Nikki: Oh, I’m sorry. When have you ever been a man of leisure?

Victor: Well, but that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Nikki: Well, you’re right about working with your children. I mean, you will get to watch them go at each other’s throats daily. Where is the joy in that?

Victor: That is gonna stop, okay? That is going to stop as of now. That infighting will come to an end. And I’ll remind them of what they’re here for, what they’re working for. That is the family empire that I’ve built for them.

Nikki: Hm.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: So you will be bringing harmony and unity.

Victor: Yes.

Nikki: To adam and victoria. Do you really think that’s possible?

Victor: I’m going to whip them and the company into shape. To the point where nicholas will say, “hm. I think I’m gonna rejoin newman enterprises.”

Adam: I thought that we put our failed partnership behind us. I mean, you’re moving on, you’re working with sharon and I am humbling myself at newman.

Nick: It’s not about that and you know it.

Adam: Okay, I feel like I am missing something.

Nick: You bring trouble to everything and everyone. So how about this? You stay away from everyone I care about from now on.

Sally: Adam. Really, you should just go, please.

Adam: You told him, didn’t you?

Jack: I’m sorry about that.

Billy: It’s okay. So, I’m gonna take off but, uh, let me know if you hear from phyllis, please.

Jack: Will do.

Billy: Okay. Bye bye.

Diane: Bye. Jack, why are you the one dealing with phyllis in all of this?

Jack: I promise, I’ll explain that to you–

Diane: No, no, I think we should talk about it right now.

Jack: I think we need to focus on kyle right now. Why would you say he’s not okay? Should we be concerned?

Diane: I, yeah, I think, um, I think our son has lost his purpose. He’s afraid that he’s always going to be stuck in the middle. Those were his words. Forever in his father’s shadow. We need to help him.

Jack: I don’t know what else I can do. I’ve asked him to come back to jabot repeatedly.

Diane: I know, but I think he needs more than that. I mean, kyle needs to know that we value him, you know, not just as our son, but as an important part of the company.

Tucker: I hope your blowing me off was purely for nikki’s sake.

Audra: Of course. I don’t take kindly to the woman continuing to tell me how to live my life, but you know, she’s still my boss. So, it’s better for her to think that I’m heeding her warning about you than be defiant.

Tucker: Smart. We have a bigger problem anyway and you will need to help me solve it.

Audra: Will I? What are you talking about?

Tucker: The damn singer. The evidence that adam got his hands on. The pr team’s cover-up or our cover-up, or their cover-up.

Audra: Wait. How can that be? Adam was supposed to destroy those incriminating emails.

Tucker: Apparently, he decided to go a different route.

Audra: What did he do?

Tucker: He sold it to the abbotts.

Audra: Interesting.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s not the word I would use, but…

Audra: Well, big picture aside, I guess adam has ruined your plans to go after jabot. What are you gonna do now? Kinder bueno. <

Adam: Good morning, boss. I, uh, took the liberty of ordering you some coffee. Should be out soon.

Nate: Adam, thank you for coming.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Uh, I pride myself on being on time. Early even. And as your new assistant, I await your command.

Nate: Hm, I thought it best we discuss how this is going to work moving forward.

Adam: Sure thing, you’re in charge. Um, now how do you take your coffee? Cream, sugar? And is there a paper that you read first thing in the morning?

Nate: The attitude isn’t necessary. And it’s not gonna work with me.

[ Adam clears throat ] I asked you here because I’d like to set some ground rules and expectations, so there are no misunderstandings later.

Adam: Mm.

[ Adam chuckles ] You must be in heaven.

Nate: I’m not sure what you mean.

Adam: Having this much power over me. It’s thrilling, isn’t it?

Victoria: May I come in?

Victor: Yes, please.

Victoria: Good morning. You look very content. The big– big chair suits you. It always has.

Victor: This all sounds very pleasant. Should I be getting ready for another attack or what?

Victoria: You can put your gloves down. There’s no right hook coming, daddy. I just i and make peace. I’m tired of fighting with you.

Victor: Glad to hear that. It’s kind of surprising though. Two days ago, you were very upset about having been demoted and about my resuming the position on this chair. What happened?

Victoria: I know that you must be very frustrated and disappointed by my attitude. But I have thought long and hard about this arrangement, and I’ve made a decision about the future.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nick: Thanks. Appreciate it. Sally? Sally!

Nikki: Oh, claire. Very nice to meet you. Please sit down.

Claire: The pleasure is all mine, mrs. Newman.

Audra: We thought we’d change things up a bit for your interview and meet at one of genoa city’s finest restaurants. You know, give you a taste of the town since you’re not local.

Claire: I love this place. It’s so hip. I’m really grateful to be considered for your assistant role at newman media.

Nikki: So, tell us, who is claire grace?

Claire: I’ve been a self-starter all my life. Education always came first, but I’ve been working since I was a kid. At 12, I started my first small business with friends, going around to neighbor’s houses, cleaning and doing odd jobs.

Audra: Sounds like you had an early interest in hard work.

Claire: Absolutely. But I also have a passion for music. I played the flute throughout school, so that became my minor. But my primary focus was always marketing and business.

Audra: How was your experience at wharton?

Claire: Not for the faint of heart. But I worked hard. Knew I was lucky to be there. And I had professors who pushed me to believe in myself.

Nikki: Well, your educational background is very impressive, but you don’t seem to have a lot of corporate experience. There’s only one previous assistant job here.

Claire: While I was pursuing my mba, I was busy juggling school and work. Bartending, tutoring. Anything that would pay the bills and keep me afloat.

Nikki: Well, we are meeting with a couple of other candidates for this position.Why don’t you tell us why you think being my assistant is the right choice, for both of us?

Claire: If I’m gonna work in business, why not work for the best? Newman enterprises has been a leading innovator for years.

Audra: So, you’re familiar with the company?

Claire: Of course. It dominates in its industries. Newman media is newer, but it’s already a powerhouse with its focus on content in different mediums. Video games, podcasts, streaming services.

Audra: Is there a particular project that interests you?

Claire: When you closed that exclusive deal with crawford pictures, so smart, and you had only just started as ceo.

Nikki: Do you see any way for newman media to expand any markets that we’re not tapping into?

Claire: Well, I’m excited to see how tucker mccall’s company fits into newman enterprises. How it could mesh with newman media. You must have a lot of ideas about that since you used to work with mr. Mccall.

Nikki: Well, newman media has gone through many regimes since its inception. How do you view that?

Claire: There has been a lot of turnover. But with your previous experience as co-ceo of newman, the business community and your employees should be reassured. You have a unique understanding of newman media’s place within the company at large, thanks to your previous position.

Nikki: Well, you have certainly done your research.

Audra: You know, the letter of recommendation from your previous boss is outstanding. And she says the office has never been managed better.

Claire: All you need is a good mentor.

Audra: May I ask why you would leave your job in chicago if your previous boss speaks so highly of you? You know, why apply for this job? What brought you to genoa city?

Sally: Good morning.

Nick: There she is. She wakes. Good morning, beautiful. It’s freshly squeezed.

Sally: Why so fancy?

Nick: Just, uh, felt like spoiling you.

Sally: Well, you better watch out ’cause I could get used to it.

Nick: I hope you do.

Sally: I thought you had work to handle.

Nick: Yeah, I got some stuff later, but honestly, there’s no place I’d rather be than right here with you.

Sally: Me too.

Nick: Here’s a thought. Why don’t we just give up all these dreams and plans we have for all these other businesses and just do nothing? Seriously, we just hang out with each other. Live off love and, uh, spoil each other rotten.

Sally: Well, we might wear each other out pretty quickly.

Nick: Are you questioning my stamina?

[ Sally chuckles ]

Sally: Never. Mm-mm. No, I’m just saying that we both have to work. I mean, I don’t think either of us would last more than a week without a sense of purpose.

Nick: So, our connection isn’t purpose enough? Wow. Okay, well, it is for me.

Sally: What has gotten into you?

Nick: I don’t know. I just– I woke up this morning and I was just really, really grateful that I get to wake up next to you. I really missed you.

Sally: I missed you too.

Nick: Do you remember before I went on my trip and I told you that I had fallen in love with you?

Sally: I recall that, yeah.

Nick: Well, on my trip, I kind of can’t believe how much I missed you and it got worse every day. It– it like hurt away from you. I love you, sally, more than I ever thought was possible.

Sally: You’re really sweet. I– I… I don’t know what to say.

Nick: Well, it might be the sort of thing that gives you the urge to say, “I’m falling in love with you too.”

Victor: So, what is it you have decided?

Victoria: After much contemplation, I… I’ve seen the wisdom of your– of your actions, and I’ve accepted them.

Victor: That’s quite a change of heart. I mean, you and I have been at each other’s throats for days.

Victoria: Well, I have had my concerns, daddy, and they’re not selfish.

Victor: Your brother, nicholas, has told me that you had questions about my ability to run this damn company.

Victoria: Well, first of all, nicholas is exaggerating. I mean, I haven’t understood and accepted some of the choices that you’ve made lately and the erratic way that you’ve gone about handling things.

Victor: But what happened to make you think that now I can run this company, that I know what I’m doing?

Victoria: I realized that you are indeed looking at the long game. And that you stepping back in as ceo has nothing to do with me or my role at newman. You’re returning to– to unite a fractured work environment.

Victor: Well, we agree on that. Now, in your opinion, how did this become a fractured work environment?

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: I think you know the answer to that, dad. Look, the problems all started with the initial acquisition of newman media from ashland locke.

Victor: Yeah, well, that we can agree on. Ashland locke’s entrance into our lives has caused a lot of problems.

Victoria: It began there, and it continued with the purchase of mccall unlimited. For some reason…

[ Victoria sighs ] It tore our family apart instead of pulling us together.

Victor: And what do you think is the reason for that?

Victoria: Daddy, it’s really simple. There’s only one reoccurring factor in all of this. It’s adam.

Nate: You think I’m enjoying this?

Adam: I mean, there has to be a small part of you that does.

Nate: Well, you seem to be the one with the flippant attitude here. Making cracks about your role as my assistant, naming duties I haven’t assigned to you.

Adam: Okay. You’re right. I was going for light and I came off snide.

Nate: Hmm.

Adam: But look, I want you to know that I– I accept this situation as it stands.

Nate: Tell me something. Why would you be okay with this arrangement? I mean, your father made me your boss and like you said, you have more business experience than I do.

Adam: Well, quite frankly, I had it coming. This situation is entirely of my own doing. I went to my father and I told him that I want a new beginning and I wanna start from the bottom.

Nate: And he called your bluff.

Adam: No, no, it– it wasn’t a bluff. I am determined to do things differently. And I didn’t ask for any special treatment or give him any suggestions on how this should go. I let him decide how he’s gonna handle this. I mean, if– if at all.

Nate: Well, like I said, I had nothing to do with his decision to have you work for me. God knows it wasn’t my choice.

Adam: No, I know that it wasn’T. But he seems to think this is an appropriate beginning. So, I’m very, very grateful for that.

Nate: You’re grateful?

Adam: Yes.

Nate: How is that possible?

Adam: Because I know how candidates fight tooth and nail to become assistants and to get on a desk is– is a blessing. It’s, uh, it’s a ladder to climb.

Nate: Mm-hmm, and most people climb that ladder at the start of their careers. Not when they have your level of expertise.

Adam: This is where I am now and this is where I need to be. So, put me to work, nate. I’m ready.

Nate: Mm. I figured you would, um, have this attitude at the start of your new role here, for your father’s sake as well as your own. Only, I’m not buying it for a second. Are you guys watching? This is my favorite part.

Adam: You think that I’m being insincere? You think that my desire to change is not real?

Nate: I think you view this position as a foot in the door. The only way to get back into the company after you screwed things up with your family.

Adam: I– I don’t see how that and accepting the position are mutually exclusive. Hell yeah, I want back in. That’s why I told victor I would be willing to start from the bottom instead of taking my resume and going somewhere else. Newman enterprises is where I wanna be, for personal and professional reasons. And yes, I know I have a lot to make up for, but I serve at the pleasure of whoever is my boss and right now, that’s you.

Nate: You’re good. The way you use words to spin things every which way. But I agree with victoria’s assessment. Trusting you with this job is a foolish move on victor’s part. He is putting you in a position where you will have access to key company information.

Adam: How do you figure that?

Nate: Well, as my assistant, I will rely on you to review and pass along pertinent, and sometimes, confidential information. You’re far from dumb, adam. You know that information is power.

Adam: And you think that I’m going along with this situation so I can use my new place to what? To gather company secrets?

Nate: Let me make this a bit more clear for you. I trust you about as much as victoria does.

Adam: Hm.

Nate: Which is not at all.

Adam: Well, aren’t you two in sync?

Nate: I’ve thought about it and this is how it’s gonna work. You will handle only the menial office tasks, sorting my mail, keeping track of office supplies.

Adam: Sharpening your pencils? Okay, and what happens to the important assignments?

Nate: I will hire another personal assistant out of my own pocket. Someone I can trust with more substantial and sensitive work.

Adam: Have you, by chance, run any of this by victor? You haven’t, have you? Because he would have already shot you down. Nate, you’re– you’re bucking the spirit of the old man’s orders. I– I give you points for a bold move, but it’s one that could seriously cost you.

Victor: Well, for a moment there I was optimistic, but you’ve gone right back to scapegoating adam.

Victoria: Except that it’s true. He’s responsible for the failures at newman. And if I had stepped out of line as many times as he has, you would never forgive me.

Victor: He has never been given the benefit of the doubt. And quite frankly, I’m tired of it.

Victoria: Well, we’re tired of you repeatedly making the same mistakes.

Victor: I will no longer discuss adam with you, with your mother, or nicholas. He’s my son. I love him. I have faith in him.

Victoria: He’s only gonna disappoint you. He has to have some sort of agenda at play, accepting the position of nate’s assistant. I mean, come on, that’s– it’s clearly a ploy.

Victor: What, now you doubt that nate can control him?

Victoria: No, I trust nate implicitly.

Victor: But you don’t think he can keep him in line?

Victoria: Who can, dad? No one can. Not even you. Look, I don’t want to continue to argue with you. If you’re asking me to give adam another chance… well, then I accept and support that.

Victor: You’re folding too easily. What’s going on?

Sally: Nick, I–

Nick: I have no idea why I did that, I’m sorry. I don’t want to put you on the spot like that.

Sally: He– hey, I love you very much.

Nick: Love me, but not in love with me. Not yet.

Sally: It’s not you.

Nick: Oh, “it’s not you.” That is the thing that people say when they don’t mean it.

Sally: No, but in this case it’s true, okay? I have been through so much emotional and romantic turmoil over the last few years, some of my own doing. It’s just really hard for me to get my heart there.

Nick: That makes sense. I get it.

Sally: You’re amazing. Honestly, I mean, how could i not love you? And if– I mean, if I can’t fall in love with you, then what does that say about me?

Nick: Ah, come on, it’s, uh, it’s not the sort of thing you rush. There’s certainly no timetable on it. The last thing I ever wanna do is put pressure on you.

Sally: You haven’T.

Nick: You know what, I could take it back. I could do that. Just take it back, put it right in my pocket. Just save it for some other day.

Sally: No, no, no, no. Not a chance.

[ Sally sighs ] Struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1?

Claire: Chicago is great. There’s so much to do, but the chaos of big city life just isn’t for me. I’m originally from a small town in oregon, so I prefer a place that’s a little more real, honest.

Nikki: Now, what made you decide to look at wisconsin? You could go anywhere in the country.

Claire: I actually had a college friend who was from genoa city, spent a few summers here with her, really liked the feel of the place.

Nikki: Really? What’s her name?

Claire: Sophia carmichael.

Nikki: Oh, my god, I know the carmichaels. We’ve done several charity events together, but I never met their daughter.

Audra: So, what’s your family situation? Um, how do they feel about you being so far away?

Claire: Unfortunately, my parents were killed in a car accident when I was very young.

Nikki: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that.

Audra: My condolences. You know, I apologize if I brought up any painful memories.

Claire: It’s okay. Are always there anyway. But I was raised by my great-aunt, it was a good life. She still lives in oregon, but we talk all the time. She’s got lots of advice and stories, oh, and recipes. She thinks I don’t cook.

[ All laughing ]

Nikki: Well, the next time you speak to her, tell her that nikki newman says she raised a very smart and interesting young woman.

Claire: Thank you. She’ll love that.

Audra: Would you give us a moment to speak in private?

Claire: Of course. I’ll leave you to it. Excuse me.

Audra: So, um, what do you think?

Nikki: Well, she’s green, but I get a good feeling from her.

Audra: Yeah, she’s energetic, smart, has definitelyework.

Nikki: And she clearly wants this job.

Nate: I don’t care what you think about my decisions or your take on the situation.

Adam: Yeah, maybe not. But victor will.

Nate: My sole interest is to protect newman enterprises.

Adam: Listen to me. Nate, do you really believe that I am that much of a threat?

Nate: I really believe you’re capable of just about anything. Disruption is your forte.

Adam: You tried to blackmail your own family and workplace when it suited your needs.

Nate: Well, when I’m assigned to be your assistant, feel free to second-guess me. But that’s never gonna happen.

Adam: Listen, nate, come on. Look at my recent track record. All of my plans have failed miserably. I’ve been humiliated, stripped of everything, put in my place by my father, okay? This was a wake-up call.

Nate: So you say. But as far as I’m concerned, that really changes nothing. I have no faith in you, adam.

Adam: Okay, well, you may not like me, but you know that I am capable and I can handle this job.

Nate: It’s not about that. The belief I have that you can change was destroyed when you tried to blackmail audra.

Adam: Look, that was a dark moment. It was. And it’s behind me now.

Nate: It wasn’t just a moment, adam. It is who you are. Your actions show it. I don’t, for a second, believe that you can change your very nature.

Adam: Okay. Well, let me prove it to you then.

Nate: You can’t, but i understand victor will always hold out hope that you can turn things around. He’s your father.

Adam: Yes, I know that I have let him down. And I’m glad that he gave me this opportunity because I’m going to prove to you and everybody else that I mean what I say.

Nate: It’s not just about me or my feelings. Victor has a broader agenda, I believe.

Adam: I imagine that’s true. That’s usually the case. But what does that have to do with me?

Nate: I suspect he’s preparing for the worst. That you will use this job to inflict damage on newman enterprises. In fact, I believe he put me in this role as a safeguard against you. And I take that very seriously.

Adam: Is that a warning, nate?

Victoria: I’m not being disingenuous, I meant everything that I’ve said.

Victor: I’m just a little surprised at your turnaround, you know? It seems very abrupt. Too much so.

Victoria: When you demoted me, I know I fought you on it.

[ Sighs ] It just– my feelings were hurt because my position had just been stripped away from me, and I– I mean, I took it so personally.

Victor: It was a business decision.

Victoria: I see that now.

Victor: Yeah?

Victoria: I’ve put aside my anger and I’m willing to let go of these feelings that I have about adam. I know that this company is stronger than he is. I know it can survive anything.

Victor: I’m very glad you feel that way, okay? Because I was beginning to feel that our relationship was becoming… untenable.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, what would you have done if that had been the case?

Victor: I would have fired you. And should it get to that point again… I still might. To give your teeth a dentist clean feeling.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: I see what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to push my buttons, trying to get me to react. Show that the big, bad adam newman lives.

Nate: Why do you say that, hm? ‘Cause you’re about to blow? No, I am not aiming for a reaction. I am stating facts and I appreciate your father’s faith in me.

[ Adam laughs ]

Adam: What, that he entrusted you to babysit me?

Nate: I see this as an opportunity. A final chance to open victor’s eyes about you. That you are incapable of becoming a good, decent man.

Adam: You know what? You’re wrong. I have changed. So, you can try to push my buttons or enact some scheme to undermine me, but it’s not gonna work. You can’t touch me, nate.

Nate: I don’t have to. You have a– a unique ability to ruin things for yourself.

Adam: Not this time. I’m gonna put in the work. I’m gonna pay my dues. I’m gonna keep my head down, keep my nose clean. And if it’s what you want, I will gladly sharpen your pencils or organize your office supplies. Whatever you want. I’m in it for the long haul and I’m not even about to give you the satisfaction of thinking you can break me. So, don’t even try.

Sally: Are you busy for the rest of the day?

Nick: Well, I got to go, and meet and, uh, sign our final contracts for the new office we’re leasing. And then, I’ve got to jump on a video call with sharon and find out how her west coast trip is going.

Sally: Sounds productive.

Nick: Yeah, and my dad wants to meet for lunch. I’m sure to put more pressure on me to come back to newman enterprises.

Sally: Are you gonna hear him out?

Nick: I mean, it seems like a waste of time for both of us, so I’ll probably come up with some excuse to avoid him for now. How about you? What’s your day like?

Sally: I am going to be busy for the next few hours talking to vendors and suppliers, but I was hoping, maybe, you would join me in the park for lunch?

Nick: Such a better offer. Yes. Yes, I’m in. Can I bring anything?

Sally: No.

Nick: I get the feeling you’re planning something. Do you wanna tell me what it is?

Sally: And ruin the surprise? No, thank you.

Nick: But you are up to something, right?

Sally: Maybe.

Nick: Okay, before I go, I gotta make a quick phone call. But first, I’m gonna do some more of this stuff.

[ Sally chuckles ]

Victor: Have i made myself clear?

Victoria: Yeah, crystal clear. It’s not the first time you’ve threatened to fire me, I’m sure it’s not gonna be the last.

[ Phone ringing ]

Victor: Yes, son.

Nick: I just wanted to let you know that something’s come up, I’m not gonna be able to meet you for lunch.

Victor: Oh. You’re trying to avoid me?

Nick: Don’t read into it.

Victor: Nicholas, I just want to spend some time with my son.

Nick: I know, dad, but I’ve got, uh, other important plans.

Victor: I see. All right, well, so be it.

Victoria: Nick’s dodging you too?

Victor: Yeah, I guess so.

Victoria: Mm, he must be suspicious of your motives.

Victor: Whatever.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: Was your father upset?

Nick: He really doesn’t like it when things don’t go his way, but it’s not my problem.

Sally: But you still love him. Despite the business horror show with your family and newman.

Nick: Yeah, well, I have a hard time reconciling the two at times.

Sally: Okay, well, maybe, for now, you should just show your father that you still love him?

[ Nick sighs ]

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Nick sighs ]

Victor: What is it?

Nick: I was thinking maybe, you and I could meet at the end of the day for a drink.

Victor: Oh, all right. I, um, I’d like it very much. Known as a passionate artist.

Audra: Thank you for giving us a moment.

Claire: Of course.

Nikki: Well, I have good news. I am pleased to offer you the job.

Audra: Someone from our office will reach out to you later today with the contract details.

Claire: Thank you both so much. I promise I won’t let you down.

Nikki: I would be very surprised if you did.

Claire: [ Laughs ] I really appreciate this. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me, and for having faith in my abilities. I can’t wait to get started.

Audra: We’re looking forward to it.

Claire: I’ll start to make arrangements to relocate immediately, find a place to stay.

Audra: You know, human resources can help you with that. And just let us know if you need anything.

Claire: Thanks again. You don’t know what this means to me.

Nikki: We’ll see you at the office soon.

Claire: Yes, you will. Thank you again.

Audra: You know, you do seem to enjoy taking on a mentoring role with young people.

Nikki: Yes, I do. As long as they impress me.

Audra: Claire clearly did.

Nikki: Now, if a potential protégé got in my way or slowed me down, well, then, forget about it.

Audra: I assume you’re not just talking about claire?

Nikki: You assume correctly.

[ Audra sighs ]

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. Nice to see the two of you together.

Nate: I hope we’re not interrupting anything.

Adam: Nate and I just had breakfast. We, uh, thought we would pop in.

Victor: My goodness, well, you seem to be pleasant with each other. Does that mean that you have accepted your position as nate’s assistant?

Adam: I have, and I’m grateful, so thank you.

Victor: Well, that’s nice to know. Great.

Adam: Yeah, we had a chance to talk about our working dynamic and we have come to an understanding.

Victor: How about you, nate?

Nate: I have no reason to think otherwise at the moment.

Victor: Well, that makes me happy, that’s nice.

Adam: I’m happy that you’re happy.

Victor: Yes. I am indeed. Your sister’s come around, you’ve gotten in line and I am where I belong. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer,

Adam: Well, I better go get settled in my new office.

Victoria: I actually have a meeting that I need to get to. Excuse me, dad.

Adam: Uh, nate, thank you for taking the time to have breakfast with me. I really look forward to working with you. Dad.

Victor: See you, son. So… what was your discussion like with adam?

Nate: Well, he claims to be sincere in wanting to put his best foot forward. Says he’s grateful for the opportunity to show that he can change.

Victor: You believe him?

Nate: Cautiously optimistic.

Victor: I’m less so. They’re all falling into line… too easily.

Victoria: I really don’t know why you get an office. Shouldn’t you be in a cubicle with all of the other assistants?

Adam: If it was up to you, I would be in the janitor’s closet.

Victoria: If it was up to me, you wouldn’t be here at all.

Adam: Well, it’s not up to you, not anymore. You lost your seat in the big chair yet again. I mean, that must sting to be dethroned and defeated.

Victoria: You know, just to be clear, I’m not buying this whole turnaround thing, adam. Not for one second.

Adam: You know, I’m gonna prove myself to our father maybe even better than you ever have.

Victoria: Well, fortunately, when you start to show your true colors again, nate’s gonna be there to bust you.

Adam: Right, because nate has never broken a rule in his life. And for the record, I’m not buying your act either. There is no way that you’ve accepted losing a job to our father.

Victoria: You can think whatever you want, no one cares.

Adam: You know, you are the one he really needs to worry about, and the moment that you show your true colors, I’m gonna be happy to nail you to the wall. Oh, after you.

Victoria: I’ll get the next one.

Nick: Sally! Get your hands off her!

Sally: Nick, please.

Nick: What is going on here? Are you having an affair behind my back?

Sally: No, it is not what it looks like.

Adam: Actually, it is. It’s what I’ve always told you, bro. She’s in love with me, not you.

Nick: Is that why you couldn’t say it back to me? Why you couldn’t tell me you love me?

Sally: No, nick, please, let me explain.

Nick: I told you I loved you months ago, but you left me hanging this whole time!

Sally: Nick, I’m so sorry.

Nick: You’ve been using me, carrying on with my brother. You’ve never let him go. Sally? Hey, is everything okay?

Sally: Adam kissed me.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: Has the financial team attached a name to that account?

Jack: No, they’re still working on it.

Diane: This is serious, jack. Whoever’s doing this, whether it’s phyllis or someone else, has access to our financials and they’re being pretty brazen about it.

Jack: I have frozen all of our accounts, contacted all our vendors. Nothing is going to happen until we figure this out.

Diane: Better not be phyllis. All right, I’ve got a meeting at the club. Will you please text me as soon as you hear?

Jack: Yeah, promise.

Diane: Okay, bye.

Billy: Call the financial department. Tell them to stop looking.

Jack: Wait, what does that mean?

Billy: My name’s gonna come up on that account, jack. It’s the same thing that happened last time. They’re trying to make you believe that I embezzled money from our family company.

Jack: And by they, you mean tucker?

Billy: With an assist from phyllis? Yes.

Jack: But why? What could he gain from this?

Billy: To rattle us. Get us off our– our game, you know, put us on our heels. Let us know that he can hit us whenever he wants.

Jack: With phyllis doing his dirty work or not doing his dirty work.

Billy: She needs money, badly. We know what happens when she gets desperate.

Jack: Yes, I know all too well. So much for changing her life.

Billy: Yes.

Jack: What I don’t understand is why are they targeting only you?

Tucker: I’m not really interested in running jabot. Maybe as an advisor or something. You know, this whole takeover is really about nothing but yanking it away from jack abbott.

Audra: A purely vindictive move.

Tucker: One hundred percent. I want to punish the abbotts. I want to just– I want to hit him where it hurts. ‘Cause as far as I’m concerned, they shattered any chance I had with ashley. Any future.

Audra: Look as always, I give you an a+ for creativity. But, your ability to pull this off? I mean, not so much. I mean, don’t you think they suspect that you’re coming and are gearing up for it?

Tucker: They absolutely do. They’ve essentially told me so.

Audra: And that doesn’t worry you?

Tucker: I have a secret weapon.

Audra: What’s that?

Tucker: Not a what, a who. Billy abbott. Good evening, esther. Hi. It’s a lovely evening, is it not?

Esther: What do you have?

Audra: Double espresso.

[ Tucker speaks foreign language ]

Esther: Two double espressos coming up.

Audra: That went well.

Tucker: Yeah. I need to talk to you.

Audra: Go ahead.

Tucker: Let’s go out on the patio.

Audra: Geez.

Tucker: What did you and nikki talk about after I left?

Audra: Funny you should ask. We were talking about you.

Tucker: And?

Audra: Well, she warned me to stay as far away from you as humanly possible.

Danny: Seriously. Is everything okay, phyllis?

Phyllis: Oh, I’m great. It’s just been a pretty long day. That’s all. What are you doing here?

Danny: I’ve got some business and uh, I wanted to check in on daniel. See how he’s getting along.

Phyllis: Oh. Does daniel know you’re here?

Danny: Yeah. Yeah, he’s meeting me here.

Phyllis: Oh, nice. What?

Danny: Oh, sorry. It’s a little strange seeing you in the flesh. Last time I was in this room, I watched you die.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah. That.

Danny: Yeah. A pretty unforgettable moment.

Phyllis: Yeah. Right. Jeremy stark was coercing me to do that. He was threatening me and my family. You should know this. And the judge showed mercy on me and didn’t send me to prison.

Danny: Yeah, I know. I know. Daniel’s been keeping me up to speed on all this.

Phyllis: That’s good. You should also know I’m now the town pariah, sort of like the old days. Everybody’s staring at me and pointing fingers at me and I should be wearing a big scarlet letter on my chest. Um, from what all the fine citizens of genoa city are putting me through right now.

Danny: Okay. So you’re the victim now?

Phyllis: No.

Danny: Well, it sounds as if you think you are.

Phyllis: Okay. So, you’re angry now.

Danny: Oh, I am beyond angry with you, phyllis. Yes, I know there were extenuating circumstances, but what you did was horrible. I mean, you know what makes it worse? You did it to people who care about you. Who believed in you.

Phyllis: Don’t you think I know that?

Danny: Then stop whining about how badly everybody’s treating you around here. Take accountability for a change.

Phyllis: Okay, okay, okay. Okay. And I am trying to take accountability and I have asked for forgiveness from everyone. I’m gonna ask for forgiveness from you, please. I’m trying to make amends.

Danny: Nice speech.

Phyllis: It’s more than just a speech.

Danny: Okay, prove it.

Phyllis: Well, tell me what I have to do.

Danny: Why do you even care, phyllis? I mean, yes, we share a son and we shared a life together, but that was a long time ago.

Phyllis: I care what you think about me. I just do. Do you think I’m worthy of a second chance? Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Daniel: Dad, hey, it’s good to see you.

Danny: Hey, it’s good to see you too, son.

Daniel: What, what, what, what’s going on here? Is this a little family reunion you forgot to tell me about?

Phyllis: Uh, no, we just ran into each other and we were reminiscing about old times.

Danny: No, we were discussing your mother’s declaration that she’s a changed person and wants to make amends for her behavior and just saying it is not enough. She’s gonna have to prove it this time.

Daniel: Oh.

Danny: Yeah.

Daniel: Speaking of which, have you given any more thought to my job offer?

Phyllis: Uh, still thinking about it.

Danny: Wow. Kind of like history repeating itself, don’t you think?

Daniel: Yeah, you really would.

Danny: Do you remember how difficult it was talking her into joining in omegasphere when it first got started?

Phyllis: Yeah, but then he was offering me a huge position with the company. Worthy of my skills and talents and now I don’t even know what I’m gonna be doing. My guess is I’ll be under the microscope, every single day, seeing if I behave.

Daniel: That doesn’t make the job any less legitimate or the paycheck any less real.

Danny: No, it doesn’T. In fact, this might be the answer. Your mother needs to be put to the test. Hey, you said you wanted a second chance. Well, this might be your one opportunity to show everybody you really have changed.

Tucker: Did nikki threaten to fire you?

Audra: She didn’t come right out and say it.

Tucker: But it was implied? Yeah. Unfortunately, it’s not a great career move to be associating with tucker mccall.

Audra: Definitely not.

Tucker: Will I have to suffer the same fate as kyle?

Audra: Stop. I didn’t agree.

Tucker: Oh, you took a defiant stand, did you?

Audra: Well, I made it very clear to nikki that, you know, while I admired her and I– I enjoyed working with her. I just didn’t appreciate her trying to tell me how to live my private life.

Tucker: Good for you.

Audra: Yeah.

Tucker: And she still didn’t fire you.

Audra: You know, I actually think she was impressed, I stood my ground. She even offered to be my mentor.

Tucker: That’s rich.

Audra: Yes, it is.

Tucker: I’d stay away from that.

Audra: Um, I– I think she meant it.

Tucker: No, she didn’t mean it. What she meant to do was flatter you and therefore, control you. Now, you would do well to maintain a respectable distance from nikki’s mentorship. The good news, however, is that you wouldn’t have to worry about either pleasing or upsetting her if you are still interested in, uh, changing trains and joining me on the jabot express.

Billy: I don’t know why he’s coming after me first. I’m sure he’s betting on you believing that history’s gonna repeat itself. That I’m gonna make a dumb, stupid move like that. But just let’s be honest about this, okay? It’s not gonna stop with me. Tucker blames our entire family for his personal life blowing up and he wants blood.

Jack: And he’s not looking inside jabot for allies anymore.

Billy: No, that ship has sailed.

Jack: We need a solid line of defense.

Billy: I agree. What happened when you met with adam? We’re gonna find out about this information he has on tucker, right?

Jack: Damn.

Billy: Damn what, jack?

Jack: I have been so caught up with mamie coming into town, with all these money transfers, I forgot to check my email to see if he sent anything.

Billy: Okay. Well, let’s do that now.

Jack: Yeah, he sent something this morning.

Billy: Please, tell me this is good news.

Jack: It’s better than good news. It’s the mother lode. -We’re done. -What about these?

Danny: Thank you.

Daniel: You know, I understand that you’re used to high profile jobs, mom, but I gotta be honest with you, I really just don’t trust you yet with anything that might compromise my business.

Phyllis: Are you kidding me? You think that I would intentionally try to sabotage your business?

Daniel: No, not intentionally and not maliciously, but you cannot help yourself but take a shortcut if you see it. And I just can’t afford any of your shortcuts right now.

Danny: What daniel is trying to explain is that we are long past the point where we just take what you say at face value. We’ve been burned too many times.

Phyllis: Okay. I mean, I get it. I get that you’re not really seeing any– listen, you haven’t seen me do anything to change. I understand that. But in my defense and it’s not an excuse, but I’m still dealing with the aftermath, you know, the whole fallout to everything that jeremy stark put me through.

Daniel: I know. I know. And I understand that. What’s going on with all that?

Phyllis: Oh, well, good news. Um, I found the account that jeremy stark was hiding all of my money in and I’m able to pay back the insurance company.

Daniel: That was fast. I mean, the other day, you didn’t know what you were gonna do. What changed?

Phyllis: Yeah. Uh, you know, it’s funny, michael. Michael got his team of investigators on it and they were able to track down some offshore account, one of jeremy stark’s, you know, offshore accounts. And anyway, I’m free and clear.

Daniel: Okay. Well, I guess I for one am happy that, that weight’s been lifted off of your shoulders.

Danny: Yeah, I guess that means there’s no more excuses. Time to do what you say you’re gonna do.

Audra: You know, I have to hand it to you, tucker. Only you would actually believe you could take jabot away from the abbotts and make it sound easy.

Tucker: It’s more than a belief. It’s a certainty.

Audra: Hm. How so, evil genius?

Tucker: Yeah, you mock. I’m serious as a rattlesnake.

Audra: It was a compliment.

Tucker: Ah, thank you. So, I have put in motion a plan to raise suspicion that billy abbott has been embezzling from jabot.

Audra: How did you manage that?

Tucker: Uh, details are boring.

Audra: Jack and billy aren’t that stupid, okay? They’re gonna know right away that you’re behind this.

Tucker: Good. Let’ em. That’s exactly what I want ’em to think.

Billy: What’s the headline?

Jack: Tucker and audra were involved in a cover-up at mccall that involved a singer and some underage girls.

Billy: Oh, my gosh. What? What? So, how– how bad was it?

Jack: Well, they covered up the cover-up. Probably to save the integrity of the company, but the guy was still arrested.

Billy: I mean, tucker, he just gets worse and worse. I mean, that’s sleazy, even for him. Adam has the evidence? We sure about that?

Jack: How, I’m not sure.

Billy: Okay. So what does he want for it?

Jack: Nothing.

Billy: Jack, it’s adam, okay. He doesn’t do anything for free, especially when he thinks he’s doing you a favor.

Jack: I’m telling you, this was free. Maybe this is part of his redemption or a persona that he’s trying to sell to victor.

Billy: No, I don’t believe that. Nothing is for free when it comes to adam.

Jack: There was one caveat. In the future, he might ask for me to return the favor.

Billy: Well, there you go. New and improved adam.

Jack: We don’t have to worry about that now. We have something here and we are gonna hit tucker hard with it.

Billy: I would like the honors of looking in his eye when I tell him that we have the upper hand.

Jack: Okay. Fine. You take care of that. And see that the money is transferred back to the jabot accounts.

Billy: Yeah, of course. I was gonna do it as soon as I got out of here.

Jack: It’s just– just a little reminder.

Billy: Okay. Can I ask you a question?

Jack: Sure, shoot.

Billy: Do you, uh, do you believe that I would actually embezzle money from the family company?

Jack: Billy, come on.

Billy: No, I’m serious. It’s– it’s just, I– I need, I need to know this. I mean, are you… look, I have history, jack. Okay. I wouldn’t put it past you to believe that I could do something like that, but in this moment right now, I need to know. Do you fully believe that tucker and phyllis are behind this embezzlement act? Or do you, for a second, still wonder if it was me?

Jack: No, billy. I did not ever think you would do this to us.

Billy: Okay, I appreciate that.

Jack: I wouldn’t put anything past tucker or phyllis for that matter. You were right. It has her name written all over it.

Billy: Well, I’ll give you the honors of dealing with phyllis.

Jack: I tell you, that’s the part that probably bugs me the most. Phyllis had other options. If she had played it straight, if she had been truthful, if she had shown she could be trusted, there are any number of people who could have helped her, myself included.

Billy: Well, some people like staying on the dark side. It’s familiar to them, it makes them feel comfortable. Trust me, I’ve been there. I get it. And tucker is the kind of guy that can exploit that. Make them feel like his way is the only way out.

Jack: That’s why we have to stop him now.

Tucker: So, the attacks on billy, setting up the idea that he’s involved in some kind of financial malfeasance, it’s just a diversion. A smokescreen for what I’m actually planning.

Audra: Does it include all the blind items you’ve planted in the gossip columns?

Tucker: I want the abbotts to believe that I’m planning my attack over here–

Audra: While you’re really making moves over there. You play chess, while they–

Tucker: While they play checkers.

Audra: So, what exactly is over there?

Tucker: Ah, it’s nothing special. Just something they will never see coming.

Phyllis: Okay, guys, I get it. You’ve been through this before with me, right? And I let you down every time. Listen, I feel like I’m on the right path this time. I do. I realize how much I have to lose if I screw up again. So, this is what I’m gonna do. So, if, um, nick and sharon don’t offer me that position, all right? If they don’t want me to work with their company, um, I will take whatever– whatever job you offer me at omegasphere. I will take it and I will do a bang-up job and I will follow directions and I will make you proud.

Daniel: It’s all I could ask of you.

Phyllis: Mm. You’re not convinced.

Danny: I want to believe every word you’re saying, I do.

Phyllis: But you can’t?

Danny: I’ll say this much. If you follow through with this and you really, really show us this time, I would be so proud of you, phyllis. You have no idea how proud. I’m jonathan lawson getting this?

Jack: Phyllis, could I have a word with you, alone if you don’t mind?

Phyllis: I thought I was dead to you.

Jack: Gentlemen, uh, if you could give us a little privacy, I won’t be long.

Danny: Sure, jack. Uh, listen, phyllis, daniel and I are gonna grab a bite to eat. You wanna join us after this conversation?

Phyllis: Uh, let’s see how it goes.

Daniel: Is everything all right here?

Jack: Phyllis is in no imminent danger.

Phyllis: We just have some business to talk about. That’s fine.

Danny: All right. Let’s go.

Jack: Thank you, gentlemen.

Phyllis: All right. What’s up?

Jack: I think you know why I’m here?

Phyllis: I have no clue.

Jack: Let’s talk about tucker mccall.

Phyllis: I don’t want to talk about tucker mccall.

Jack: Don’t bother. I know he convinced you to hack into jabot’s financial system, didn’t he?

Phyllis: What?

Jack: At least have the decency to admit the truth.

Phyllis: I have no idea what you’re talking about, jack.

Jack: Moving money around to make billy look bad. That ring any bells?

Phyllis: Where are you getting this information?

Jack: I want to know why though. Why you did it? Why you decided to come after us? Is tucker offering you money? To pay your legal bills? To– to cover insurance expenses? I know you did this, phyllis. I have no doubt. I can see it in your eyes. God, so much for turning your life around.

Billy: Thanks.

Jack: Billy, I gotta say this. Promise me you won’t get sucked in for real when they offer you a position of power. I know how tempting it can be.

Billy: Like I said, it’s gonna be so easy to be pissed off at you, jack. If you don’t trust me, why are we having this conversation?

Tucker: I see right through you.

Billy: Is that so?

Tucker: Yeah. You were intrigued by the idea of running jabot all on your own. Now, you just can’t get it out of your head. And now you’re scared. Scared maybe you missed your chance. And you think, geez, with jack so punch drunk in love, I would be much better suited to run jabot. Right? And you’d have total control, total autonomy.

Billy: Whatever it takes to make things balanced again, I will do.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s very noble of you. Well, if that’s the case, you’ll have to figure out on your own how to dethrone diane.

Billy: Diane, we both know that you’re not gonna settle for the position that you’re in right now. You’re gonna want more, more input, more power. And my brother is gonna give you whatever you want. The way I see it, there’s only one person that’s gonna do whatever they can to protect my family’s company. And you’re looking at him. You still don’t trust me, do you?

Jack: Oh, come on, billy.

Billy: No, that’s what this is about, jack. It’s always been about that. You don’t think I can handle myself without your guidance.

Jack: And you can’t be criticized because you take everything I say so personal.

Billy: Because it’s always personal, jack. And very seldom complimentary. I don’t think you’ll ever see me as a true partner.

Jack: I have given you every opportunity.

Billy: See, that right there, jack. It’s you giving me the opportunity. You in control. You saying yes, no, continue. Whatever it is. One finger on the kill switch. Always expecting me to fail.

Diane: May I?

Billy: Please.

Diane: So, did you and jack come up with a plan to deal with tucker?

Billy: We’re working on it.

Diane: Care to share any details?

Billy: You can talk to jack about that. I’m sure he’ll fill you in.

Diane: You still can’t trust me, can you? Even though you say you do.

Billy: I’ve given you every benefit of the doubt, diane. I don’t know what else you want me to do.

Diane: Billy, what tucker accused you of doing…

Billy: Which accusation are you talking about?

Diane: That if his coup was successful, you were tempted by his offer to take over jabot.

Billy: That was the plan, remember? To get tucker to believe that I was sick and tired of being an afterthought in my family and then I would flip sides. On top of that, I admitted to you and jack that the impulse to run jabot was there for a split second.

Diane: So, how close did you come?

Audra: Can I ask you a question?

Tucker: Always. No guarantee of an answer, but.

Audra: Why is this so important to you?

Tucker: Do you really need me to spell it out for you?

Audra: Yeah, I guess I do.

Tucker: The abbotts convinced ashley to pull the plug on our future. I sold everything I had just to be with her. So as far as I’m concerned, mccall is something they cost me. So now, I think it’s fitting that I take everything that’s near and dear to them.

Audra: So, it’s purely vindictive.

Tucker: If you like.

Audra: Do you even want jabot or is it just a trophy? The proverbial head on the stake?

Tucker: I lost something valuable to me. Something precious. And now, it’s their turn.

Audra: Do you want to know what I think?

Tucker: Maybe.

Audra: You’re not gonna like it.

Tucker: Ah, the suspense is killing me.

Audra: I think all this retribution against the abbotts is coming from the wrong place. You know, a place of pain and denial.

Tucker: What are you? My psychoanalyst now?

Audra: Just ask yourself this one question. You know, if ashley were to come back tomorrow and she said, “you know, forgive me, tucker.” You know, “I was wrong. I did a terrible thing to you. Our plans are back on. I love you.” What would you do? I have no doubt you’d abandon this attack and, you know, fly off with her without a second thought. I brought in ensure max protein

Jack: So, how long did it take? A day? An hour? How long did it take for you to throw away all of the good intentions you spoke so much about and hitch your wagon to tucker mccall?

Phyllis: I don’t have to listen to this.

Jack: No, you have to listen to this and you’re gonna give me some answers.

Phyllis: No, I’m not. I don’t have to listen to a damn thing you have to say to me. You have no idea what I’m doing. No clue. And you have no idea what it’s like walking around this town with the condescending looks. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of being genoa city’s punching bag. So you and everybody else here can go straight to hell.

Daniel: Thank you. What do you think that was all about?

Danny: Jack?

Daniel: Mm. He seemed pretty pissed.

Danny: Yeah. It’s probably either a fresh wound or an old one. You know, with your mother, it’s sometimes hard to keep track of all the bridges she’s burned.

Daniel: No kidding.

Danny: Hey, how are you doing, daniel?

Daniel: I’m good.

Danny: Just good?

Daniel: No. No, actually, you know, I’m– I’m better than good. Things are going great with work. Lily and I, our relationship is in a good place and just hanging out enjoying each other’s company. Having fun. Nothing too serious.

Danny: Glad to hear it.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. To be honest with you, the only conflict in my life right now is with mom. And I just, I really want to believe her this time.

Danny: I want to believe her too. But hey, we both know phyllis. It’s a real leap of blind faith.

Billy: I realized what was happening and I stopped myself. Why are you asking me that?

Diane: I am asking because I know that you shared ashley’s concerns about me. That I was getting too much power at jabot. And that jack is so in love with me, he’d give me anything I want.

Billy: Yeah, I was worried about that in the beginning.

Diane: And now?

Billy: Now, I’m fine with the way things are.

Diane: That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Billy: Not sure what else you want me to say, diane?

Diane: How about you admit that you still see yourself as the most rational of all of us? And that you’re deserving of taking over the top spot.

Billy: I’m not looking to take over my brother’s job right now. Just like I’m hoping you’re not looking to take over mine. But to be very frank, we need to get past this because there are far worse threats that we need to deal with.

Tucker: I hate to blow holes in your theory, but you couldn’t be more wrong.

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

Tucker: Absolutely. ‘Cause I can no longer trust or believe ashley anymore. And you– you just can’t undo that kind of betrayal. She showed me who she really is in paris. And so, now I’m left to believe that everything that came before was just a game. A ploy to pull me back in. She’s probably had a plan from the beginning. You know, bait and switch. Target and destroy.

Audra: I doubt that very much.

Tucker: No, all the– the slow, methodical, pushes and pulls, the teasing. Will she, won’t she? Before her pice de résistance of convincing me she’d fallen back in love with me. And then, when my defenses were down, a knife to my heart.

Audra: But why?

Tucker: God knows. Probably some long ago resentment she can’t let go of. But it doesn’t matter now. It’s done.

Audra: I think you’re wrong.

Tucker: Okay. Where is this sudden allegiance to ashley coming from? It’s not exactly like you’ve been her cheerleader in the past.

Audra: I know what someone looks like when they’re in love. Just truly, deeply in love. You know, and ashley had that for you, whether you want to believe it or not. Hey, you know, 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’ve missed your calling. Sadly, therapists don’t make the kind of money you’d be interested in though.

Audra: Yeah. Do your witty, bitterness thing, but I know what I saw.

Tucker: Not from personal experience, I assume. No, that’d be a sucker’s bet for you.

Audra: No, I’ve never been in love in that way. I thought I was, but no…

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: Mm-hmm. Yes. And I also believe that if you give 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. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Daniel: So, uh, how long are you planning on being in town for?

Danny: Well, I got a couple of months off of the tour and thought I’d come and check up on everybody. And, oh, by the way, I’ve got some new music I’m working on for your video game. I think you’re gonna really like it.

Daniel: I’m sure I will. Any other reason why you came back?

Danny: Well, I was– I was hoping to see christine. You know, we reached a pretty good place last time I was here and I wanted to follow up on it. But she’s not answering any of my texts.

Daniel: Christine’s in lisbon with paul.

Danny: Oh.

Daniel: Yeah. Apparently, they’re trying to work things out.

Danny: Really?

Daniel: Look, I– I don’t know any of the details. I only know what heather told me, but apparently, paul called christine, asked her to come out to portugal. That’s all I know.

Phyllis: What? Do you think I like this? Do you think I like what I put my daughter through? And the hell she’s going through right now all because of what diane and I did. And yes, diane played a part in this.

Jack: That still doesn’t explain what you’re cooking up with tucker mccall.

Phyllis: I’m not doing anything. You have to believe that. Trust me, I’m not trying to sabotage you or billy. I hate tucker. I despise him. What do I have to say to get you to believe me?

Jack: How about this? If you won’t tell me the truth, you help me find out what tucker is up to. What his bottom line is. You hack into his system. Then maybe, I’ll believe you’re sincere about your desire to make amends.

[ Knocking on door ]

Tucker: Hey.

Billy: I know what you’re up to and I’m warning you right now. You better back off.

Tucker: What are you? Drunk?

Billy: You tried to set me up. Make it look like I’m embezzling money from my family company. Except you don’t have a lot of finesse anymore, tucker. I think you might be losing it a little bit.

Tucker: Wow, this is fantastic.

Billy: Yeah, stick with me, okay? Because we’re gonna go down memory lane a little bit. Back to a time when you and audra were running the mccall record label. Remember that? There was an artist of yours that had a thing for underage girls?

Tucker: Hm.

Billy: Yeah, you must have thought that you buried all the evidence, huh? All those emails back and forth between you and audra. Talking about how you were gonna cover it all up to save your ass. Guess who’s got those emails now, tucker? I do. And I’m gonna use them to crush you. Unless you back off.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Claire: I’m really grateful to be considered for your assistant role at newman media.

Nikki: So, tell us. Who is claire grace?

Jack: Hopefully, your little meeting with tucker will dissuade him from coming after us and we won’t need phyllis at all.

Billy: But if not?

Jack: If not, phyllis may be just the weapon we need.

Tucker: It’s been a long time since you and I were friends, but now you’ve made me your enemy.

Jill: There is something else going on underneath all this and I want to know what the hell it is.
