Nick: Thank you. Listen, I know I told you that I would be free to talk about work whenever you need me. But now is not a good time.

Sally: Believe me, I am fine with not talking about newman media. I actually just came by here hoping to run into sharon because we had a good talk earlier about your brother actually, who happens to be the most confusing, infuriating, and exasperating human I have ever known.

Nick: Didn’t you earlier say you were sorry you ever got involved with him in the first place? I mean, I guess I can understand why you want to commiserate with sharon. She certainly can relate.

Sally: Yeah, but, I mean, sharon has been just as baffled by adam’s decisions lately as i have, but you could tell that we had a real connection.

Nick: Listen, listen, listen, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude. But I’m sorry, I cannot talk about the drama between you and adam right now. It is the least of my concerns.

Sally: Your bad mood seems to be more than just a simple, frustrating day at the office. What happened?

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Michael: That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. Alright. Done. Everyone on your security team has been briefed.

Victor: Alright. The less is said, the better.

Michael: I’ll make sure that’s perfectly clear.

Victor: And by the way, I want to thank you, michael. I appreciate what you have done tonight. Nice to know that I can call on my old friend michael baldwin to help my family through a very difficult time. I’ll not soon forget this. I promise you.

Phyllis: Hey, baby girl.

Summer: Hey.

Phyllis: There you are. Oh! Okay, I know you’ve probably had a long day. Thank you for squeezing in your mom. We can have some bonding time, finally.

Summer: Mom is the reason why you wanted to see me without kyle so that you can bash diane without offending him? I… [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay. No, no, no. Not at all. Summer, I mean, we’ve had a lifetime together, never, never bringing up diane jenkins. Can we go back to that, please?

Summer: [ Sighs ] Yes, okay, good. ‘Cause, honestly, it has been a struggle being caught in the middle between you and kyle, and you and jack, all while I’m trying to juggle this international move and getting harrison resettled and then relaunching a major company from its new headquarters. It’s just, like…

Phyllis: Okay, alright, I get it, I get it, I get it. I’m sure it’s a very difficult time and very hectic.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Let’s have fun. Alright? First round’s on me. The second round’s on me. Third round’s on me.

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: No offense, but I don’t want to talk about tonight, or anything else for that matter. Don’t take it personally.

Sally: I won’T. I mean, it’s obvious that you’ve been through the wringer. Maybe you should just go home and get some sleep.

Nick: Yeah, I’d really like to do that, but I can’t because I’m waiting around for a bunch of other shoes to drop.

Sally: Well, that sounds ominous.

Nick: I’m not trying to sound mysterious. In fact, I’m sure you’ll hear all about it when you show up to work in the morning.

Sally: Yeah, um… about that.

[ Sighs ] We won’t be seeing each other at work in the morning.

Nick: Why?

Sally: Look, I wasn’t going to say anything, because you didn’t want to talk about work. But I have made a decision. I’m going to call victoria in the morning and tell her that I changed my mind. I’m going to respectfully decline the ceo position.

Nick: The hell you are.

Michael: Shouldn’t be long before we hear from chance about what the gcpd found at the scene of the crash. But if you want to go back to the ranch and check on victoria, I can keep you updated.

Victor: Ah, no. I just, um, know that nikki will take very good care of her. Okay? And I don’t want victoria to be upset by any bad news that chance might have.

Michael: Well, then it’s better we meet him here.

Victor: By the way, I realize it’s late. Why don’t you go home to lauren, okay? I can handle it.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] Thank you for being so considerate of my work-life balance. But I am not about to let you talk with chance without having your attorney present. Look, he may be your son-in-law, but he’s a damn good cop. And, um, he’s going to have a lot of questions.

Victor: Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Talking about the devil. Yes, chance? What news do you have?

Nick: What happened? Why change your mind? I mean, earlier, you were so fired up about leading newman media. You pitched yourself as the perfect person for the job.

Sally: I know, and i so appreciate you and victoria giving me a shot at it.

Nick: Then why walk away now? Is this some kind of negotiating tactic?

Sally: No, it is nothing like that. I just — I learned something earlier. Adam was in here tonight, and I heard him talking with sharon. I overheard him telling her what I had suspected all along. He admitted that the only reason he broke up with me was because he felt like it was best for me. He didn’t admit it to my face, but it’s a real motive behind him breaking things off.

Nick: Do you think we don’t know that already? And who cares? It shouldn’t change anything.

Sally: Yeah, but it does, because I’m not okay with him making that sacrifice.

Nick: Well, adam doesn’t care what you think, obviously. He made this decision without consulting you, and he’s lying to you, and he’s continuing to lie to you.

Sally: It was a terrible, stupid mistake on adam’s part, but I know he believes he’s doing the right thing.

Nick: You’re just making excuses for him, just like sharon did and chelsea and just like victoria did for ashland.

Sally: That is not what I’m doing.

Nick: Sally, what is wrong with you? You’ve got this incredible opportunity. It is right in front of your face. You just have to grab it. And you’re willing to throw it all away for this guy who stomped on your heart with both feet. Is this all the self-respect you have?

Sally: Why are you being so harsh? I bet this has more to do with what your sister just went through than it does with me. So please don’t put all your baggage on me. You don’t know me that well.

Nick: You’re right, you’re right, and I’m sorry, and you can do whatever you want. But please don’t confuse adam treating like dirt as this sign of this incredible love that you have. Don’t do that. A lot of women have made that mistake with him.

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Sighs ] I got to go, sally. I really hope you reconsider this terrible and rash decision that you’re making.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, trust me, I know what it’s like to juggle home life and business. Trust me.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I know. [ Chuckles ] I’m not doing much of that anymore, but, you know, the grand phoenix is now a well-oiled machine. It leaves me a little bit of time for other things.

Summer: I’m sure there’s still plenty to keep you busy.

Phyllis: You know, not really. So, I mean, if you need a little bit of help, I’m here.

Summer: Oh, I mean, I wasn’t complaining. I know that kyle and i are going to figure things out.

Phyllis: Oh, for sure, for sure. I believe in you. Listen, I’m sure it was difficult. Chelsea, you know, pulling out of her commitment as lead designer.

Summer: Oh, yeah. I mean, it was, but I really can’t fault her for making that decision. I mean, she’s got to prioritize her mental health. We all know how fragile that can be. I’m just glad that she did it now, rather than later, after we already invested tons of time and energy and money into promoting her new line.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Yeah. What about the person she recommended? How’s that going?

Summer: We’re in talks, so, hopefully, that’ll work out.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I can’t help you with that.

[ Both chuckle ] Yeah. How about marketing? I mean, the position that you offered me — is that still available?

Summer: Mom, that was months ago. Of course I filled the position.

Phyllis: Of course, of course, but I just figured maybe because you guys are relocating to genoa city, maybe the person in that position didn’t want to relocate.

Summer: I’m a bit confused as to why this is coming up now. Are you seriously asking if you can come to work at marchetti? Cleaning spell, cleaning spell…

Phyllis: Well, I don’t know why you’re so surprised that I’m bringing up this job at marchetti. I mean, you don’t know how close I was to, you know, moving to italy and kissing everything here in genoa city goodbye.

Summer: Still, you had good reasons for turning it down.

Phyllis: Yeah, I had good reasons. I just wasn’t ready to leave. But, I mean, now that you’re moving the headquarters to genoa city, that’s amazing. If I would have taken it, it would have been the best of both worlds.

Summer: I thought you really were happy running the hotel.

Phyllis: Don’t get me wrong. I really love it there. But, you know, it’s not like it was in the beginning. You know, when you’re trying to create a business and get everything running, it’s very, very challenging and rewarding. I mean, you know.

Summer: [ Sighs ] Mom, I need you to be really honest with me right now. How much of this sudden interest in working in marchetti has to do with the fact that kyle just hired diane?

Chloe: Hey, sally.

Sally: Hi. Thank you for coming by so late and on such short notice.

Chloe: Yeah. Not a problem. The kids are asleep and, well, kevin has been so supportive. He knows how excited I am about our new venture.

Sally: Yeah, um, about that.

Chloe: Oh, no. Bad news? Did nick and victoria rescind their job offer?

Sally: No, no, it’s nothing like that. The job is mine if I still want it.

Chloe: [ Chuckles ] “Still want it”? Is there even a question?

Sally: I just have to admit, I’m a little torn over this whole thing.

Chloe: Okay, it isn’t a total shock. When we spoke earlier, you weren’t as enthusiastic as I expected you’d be. But what’s up? Are you offended that the newmans want you to go through a probationary period, or are you having a last-minute crisis of confidence?

Sally: No, I know that I can do this job. I told nick and victoria my ideas, and they loved it. It’s why they were willing to give me this chance.

Chloe: Okay. So, then what’s the problem?

Chloe: Oh.

[ Scoffs ] This is about adam… isn’t it?

Nick: Dad, michael, what’s the latest?

Victor: Son, I just got a call from chance. He’s going to come over and fill us in.

Nick: Did he say anything on the phone about what they’ve learned?

Victor: Unh-unh.

Nick: How about vick? How’s she doing?

Victor: Uh, she is resting at the ranch. You know, your mother is taking good care of her. I don’t want her to be upset by any news that chance may have.

Nick: Yeah, she’s, uh, been through enough already.

Victor: Boy, has she ever. My heart goes out to your sister. My goodness. I’ll fill her in, in the morning.

Nick: You know, you two seem remarkably calm, considering what has happened. You sure you don’t know more?

Michael: I see no reason for alarm at this point. If ashland hasn’t been located yet, I have no doubt he will be found soon. Chance has organized a thorough search.

Victor: I have my men watching all over town. Suffice it to say, the noose around that bastard’s neck is tightening. And when he is caught, victoria can press charges.

Michael: In my opinion, there’s more than enough to charge ashland and keep him in jail while he awaits trial. And you witnessed the struggle he had with victoria. And we can always mention the fact that he defied kyle’s restraining order. I mean, the man is clearly a threat to the safety of the community.

Victor: There certainly is that.

Nick: So, that’s why you two seem so nonchalant about this? You both think the end of the actual locke nightmare is coming?

Victor: Well, I’m certain this will all turn out the way it should.

[ Telephone rings ] Send him in.

[ Receiver clicks ]

[ Doorknob rattles ]

Chance: So, as promised, I’m here with an update.

Victor: Hello, chance.

Michael: Thank you for coming over. I know it’s been a long, busy night for you.

Nick: Last time we talked, you said the police found a car at the bottom of the ravine. Was it ashland?

Chance: Yes, it was.

Nick: Was he in it?

Chance: Yes. He was behind the wheel.

Nick: Alive?

Chance: No. Ashland locke is dead.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Chloe: So, was I right about adam earlier? Is he angry with you for staying on at newman when he decided to quit? Is that why he broke up with you?

Sally: [ Sighs ] You have it backwards, chloe. Adam broke up with me so that I can stay here. He knew that victoria would never agree to keep me on as long as we were still together, that she could never trust me to somehow not be conspiring with him. So he came up with some bogus story about not wanting to be with me because victor wouldn’t approve.

Chloe: Oh, my god. That is just so hurtful.

Sally: I knew that that’s not how he really felt, which is exactly what you saw us arguing about earlier. And then tonight, I confirmed it. I overheard him admitting to sharon that he only cut me loose so that our relationship wouldn’t get in the way of my job here at newman media.

Chloe: And let me guess, you confronted him right away.

Sally: Of course. I told him that this was a huge mistake and that he would regret it for the rest of his life, once I had moved on with someone else.

Chloe: Good for you.

Sally: But then I also

[Sighs] Told him that I didn’t want to get the job this way and that I would

[Inhaling deeply] Be turning in my resignation first thing in the morning.

Chloe: Okay. I — I’m not going to freak out right away, because I’m sure you just said that in the heat of the moment, and by now you’ve calmed down and realize that quitting would just be crazy. Right?

Phyllis: Summer, why do you think that everything has to do with diane jenkins now?

Summer: Because I know you, mom. It would be just like you to decide that you needed to be on the marchetti premises so that you could keep a close eye on her.

Phyllis: No, no, that’s not what I’m doing. Trust me when I say I am doing everything to keep out of that woman’s path. Absolutely everything. And in fact, that’s the reason I never brought up the marchetti position in the first place, because of her. Seriously. But then I said, “you know what, phyllis? You know what? You cannot let that woman influence your life.”

Summer: Somehow I find that hard to believe.

Phyllis: Well, it’s true. Believe it. I mean, honestly, do I think it’s a mistake that kyle hired her? Yeah. Do I think it’s going to be a disaster? Yes. But it’s a decision that kyle made, and he’s going to have to suffer the consequences.

Summer: Okay, so, you’re basically telling me that you’re hoping that hiring diane turns into a catastrophe that’s going to blow up in all of our faces so that you’re proven right.

Phyllis: Summer, why do you keep on talking about her? You’re the one doing it, not me. Let’s not even talk about diane jenkins. It’s not about her. It’s about us working together, doing something creative together. I mean, we had so much fun when we worked together before. Remember?

Summer: Of course I do.

Phyllis: Yes, so that’s what I’m talking about. We need to do that again. Imagine flying all over the world, going to fashion shows, meeting top designers. How much fun, just working together, mother and daughter. I mean, that’s the reason why you wanted to hire me in the first place.

Nick: So, ashland’s dead? I was hoping he would survive the crash.

Chance: Well, sorry, nick.

Nick: Did your investigators say anything about it? Did he die from injuries sustained during the crash?

Michael: Those are questions for the medical examiner.

Chance: Yeah, we’ll have to wait for the autopsy report to know that for sure.

Nick: Alright, can you just please keep us posted on results?

Chance: I’ll share what seems necessary.

Victor: Anyway, chance, thank you for delivering this extraordinary news. Rather tragic, isn’t it?

Chance: Would you like to break the news to victoria?

Victor: Yeah, I’ll take care of that.

Chance: Okay. Victor, you never mentioned how you ended up at victoria’s place. Did she tell you what happened? Or nick?

Victor: Neither. My security team told me that something was amiss.

Chance: Your security team? Why is this the first time that I’m hearing about this?

Victor: Because that’s the first time you asked me that question, okay? I have no time to tell you. I employed my security team, asked them to watch victoria’s house, once I found out that ashland locke was in town. I wanted her to be safe. They watched her house for a discreet distance.

Chance: Okay, and what did they see?

Victor: They saw nick just go to the front door, knock on it. And then when there was no response, they became suspicious because they knew that victoria was in the house.

Nick: Yeah, I, uh — I just assumed she was asleep, but I didn’t want to leave, because it didn’t feel right. So I went around the side of the house, to the back. Your guys must have seen me do that.

Victor: Yeah.

Chance: Did your guys follow him back there, victor? We hit the bike trails every weekend

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Summer: I have to admit, I have been a little bit jealous that kyle is getting to work with his mother when I missed my opportunity to work with mine.

Phyllis: That’s what I’m talking about. I miss it, too.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Oh, let’s make this happen.

Summer: Okay, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. I still have to run all of this by kyle, and I have a feeling he’s not going to be too thrilled at the prospect of you and diane getting in each other’s faces every day.

Phyllis: Mnh-mnh, that’s not an issue. I’m not going to get in her face, honestly.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I mean, [Sighs] Yeah, I had a hard time letting go of all the absolutely horrible, horrible things she did to me. And I did throw my relationship with jack in her face, and, you know, that blew up. But, hey, listen, I’m not going to let anything or anyone jeopardize my relationship with you.

Summer: I believe what you’re saying. I just — I’m not sure that you can stop yourself from feuding with diane.

Phyllis: It’s not an issue, summer. I mean, I-I won’t even see her there, really, or if I do, I’ll just stay clear. Listen, why are we talking about diane again? Why are we doing that?

[ Chuckles ] Let’s talk about this job. Okay, so — so, what do you think? Something in marketing?

Summer: Um, no, I’m thinking something much more glamorous for you.

Phyllis: Yeah?

Summer: Maybe, like, company chauffeur. I think you would look really good in one of those hats.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, yeah.

Summer: [ Laughing ]

Phyllis: Alright.

[ Laughs ]

Victor: Well, to answer your question, my security detail stayed on, watching the house. And then, not too long after, they saw nicholas and victoria leave the house in a rather agitated state. That’s when they became alarmed and called me.

Chance: Were you aware of their presence?

Nick: I didn’t notice them. But, honestly, at that point, I was pretty out of it.

Chance: I didn’t see them when I got there, either.

Victor: The reason you didn’t is because I had told the security detail to take the night off, because I knew that nicholas was with victoria and they’d returned to the house.

Chance: Okay, so, what you’re telling me is, your guys — they didn’t approach the house at all, they didn’t look into any of the windows and they didn’t see ashland come or go? Nothing like that?

Michael: I think victor’s answered those questions.

Chance: No, he hasn’T. Not specifically.

Victor: Chance, my man, this is beginning to feel like an interrogation.

Chance: It’s nothing like that, victor. Just trying to gather as much information as I can so I can flesh out my timeline.

Victor: Good. I told you all I know. Michael can give you the respective phone numbers of my security detail, and you can ask them questions. Okay?

Chance: Great.

Victor: Good.

Chance: Send me the info.

Michael: Of course.

Chance: Think I’ve taken up enough of your time.

Victor: Alright. By the way, chance, say hello to abby and dominic, alright?

Chance: I will.

Victor: Okay.

[ Door closes ]

Nick: If you two are keeping something from me, I want to know what it is.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] I have to admit, I am feeling a little shaky about this whole resignation thing. I’ve just been dismissing being ceo as just a job, but the truth of the matter is, this is an amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chloe: Yeah, I’m glad you realize that.

Sally: And I just ran into nick at crimson lights, and I mentioned to him that I was planning to quit. And he flat-out told me that I would just be one more in a long line of women who would make bad decisions just to impress adam, which is not at all what I thought I was doing. But I — I’m just so confused.

Chloe: Well, I mean, nick didn’t say anything all that different than the advice I gave you earlier.

Sally: I know. Which is exactly why I called you, because I need someone to help me think this through and figure out the right thing to do.

Chloe: Okay. Uh, let’s say that adam said, “I want you to quit this job to prove to me how much you love me.” How would you have reacted to that?

Sally: I mean, that’s not really a fair hypothetical, because he literally said the exact opposite.

Chloe: You bet he did. Because he knew how blatantly selfish and manipulative that would have been and that you never would have fallen for it. And now look what he has you doing with just — ah, with just a touch of reverse psychology.

Sally: You really think that’s what adam’s game is?

[ Chuckles ] Yes. He basically has you begging to accept this sacrifice in honor of your love for him.

Sally: I am not begging him for anything. I would never do that. Damn it. That is exactly what I’ve been doing. He even called me pathetic.

Chloe: You see what’s happening here? You are feeding adam’s massive ego. You are making him believe that he’s more important to you than anything else. Meanwhile, he’s constantly putting you down. Is that what you want the rest of your life to look like?

Sally: Of course not.

Chloe: Good. Good. Because I’m here to tell you that with adam, it’s never going to be just one and done. That’s not how this works. If you think that you’re going to convince him that you’re going to be together forever and everything’s just going to be fine, he is constantly going to be putting your love to the test. He doesn’t know any other way to be in a relationship. So, tell me, are you going to throw away the biggest opportunity of your life for that? Does that sound more fun to you than being ceo of newman media?

Victor: Son, I understand that you’re upset. Okay? You probably feel responsible for ashland locke’s death. You shouldn’t feel responsible. You saved your sister’s life. Where would she be without you having interfered?

Michael: Listen to your father. You may have saved your sister’s life. You had no intention of killing ashland. You didn’t want the man dead.

Victor: It’s not even clear at this point whether your knockout punch is the cause of his death.

Michael: Ashland shouldn’t have been driving at all tonight. And you had nothing to do with him getting behind the wheel of that car.

Victor: Maybe the whole thing wasn’t an accident at all. Maybe he woke up, walked out of the house, got into his car, was probably parked behind victoria’s house, and drove himself to the damn ravine, knowing full well he would kill himself.

Michael: Think about what happened to rey. I mean, he had a heart attack that actually caused him to lose control of the car. Something — something like that could have happened to him tonight.

Nick: Okay, just…

[ Sighs ] Look, I appreciate how badly you two want to let me off the hook, but I highly doubt any of those scenarios actually happened.

Victor: Son, who cares how the man died? Most important thing is, out of our lives. He’s no longer there to endanger the life of your sister! Think about that.

Michael: Listen to your father. He’s right.

Victor: Why don’t you come to the ranch? Relax a little. You need to get away from all this.

I appreciate the offer. Um… I just got to go for a drive, you know, clear my head.

[ Door closes ]

Sally: I just don’t want to believe that adam has been playing mind games with me all along. I honestly think that he wants me to have this opportunity to prove myself.

Chloe: Okay, let’s go with that, then. Let’s say that adam is some truly noble creature who thinks you’re better off to be in this job than in this relationship. He would be totally right.

Sally: I mean, come on, chloe. Isn’t love more important than a job — even a great one?

Chloe: Yes, it totally is. But only if it’s in a real, healthy, stable relationship with the right man. And that’s not the case. I know you don’t want to hear that, but you were so desperately trying to convince yourself that adam’s love is real, that it’s just hidden deep below the surface.

Sally: I just don’t want to believe that he suddenly stopped loving me…

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Sally: …Or that he never did.

Chloe: It’s time to stop fixating on what adam is really feeling or what he really meant when he said x, y, and Z.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Because when you do that, you completely lose yourself and you forget what matters to you.

Sally: It’s not like that, chloe.

Chloe: Hey, I know what I’m talking about. Chelsea fell into this same trap. That’s why she wasn’t able to move forward in the fashion line. She has lost years of her life to her obsession with adam.

Sally: Okay. [ Sighs ] Even if you are right, and this isn’t healthy or worth saving, I told him that I don’t want to get the job this way, and that’s the truth.

Chloe: He didn’t get you the job. The most you can say is that he got out of your way. Nick and victoria — they asked you to stay in this position after they heard what you had to say. And they loved your ideas.

Sally: Yes, but adam took a chance on me by giving me this job in the first place.

Chloe: And you proved that you deserve to be the boss. With your brilliance and hard work. Do I have to remind you of all the goals you had when we first started working together? You were determined to make people sit up and take notice of you, prove what you could accomplish. So, [Scoffs] Where is that sally spectra?

Sally: You’re right.

Chloe: You bet I am. And what’s more is that you knew what I was going to say. That’s why you asked me to come here. You don’t want to lose this job. And you are not a quitter.

Summer: So, harrison keeps on asking why we don’t speak italy anymore.

Phyllis: “Speak italy”? That’s so cute. Oh, gosh, poor kid, he must be confused.

Summer: It was crazy how quickly he picked everything up over there. He was, like, practically fluent by the time we left.

Phyllis: I love seeing you like this, taking on this maternal role. It suits you.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Summer: Hey, dad, come join us.

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Um, are you okay? You seem upset.

Nick: Uh, I don’t want to ruin your evening, but something happened. Uh… you’re going to hear about it sooner rather than later. Ashland’s dead. Michael: My tip is, the worst lies

Sally: You’re right. I am not a quitter. Thank you for helping me remember that.

Chloe: So, you’re not going to resign in the morning?

Sally: I am not going anywhere. And you don’t have to worry about me backsliding, because, as you said, if anything, I am persistent.

Chloe: There she is. That’s the sally spectra I know.

Sally: And with your help, I am going to show the newmans and the rest of the world what I am capable of. Who knows what adam wanted or expected out of this whole entire thing. But in the end, it doesn’t matter, because I am going to make the most out of this opportunity that I have been given.

Chloe: Correction — that you’ve earned.

Sally: Yes, that I’ve earned. Thank you, chloe. It really means a lot, having a friend and ally like you. And you have my permission to shake sense into me if ever I forget who we are or how we deserve to be treated.

Chloe: Well, don’t worry, I won’t abuse the privilege. But I’m just so excited. And I am honored to be working with you again. And you said it — invincible. Unstoppable. It is on.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: Go home, get some sleep, because starting tomorrow, we are moving forward full-throttle.

Victor: I want to thank you for handling everything so damn well. You’re a hell of a lawyer, okay? And a good friend.

Michael: Well, it’s not over yet. You can bet chance will be coming back with more questions.

Victor: I think we have good explanations. Let’s assume that ashland locke woke up after being knocked down by my son, found himself all alone in the house, exited through the back door, where no one could see him, got into a car that he had parked behind victoria’s house, and then realizing he had nothing left in life to live for, he drove through the damn ravine, and that’s where he met his end.

Michael: It’s very straightforward.

Victor: Yeah.

Michael: Completely plausible.

Victor: Right.

Michael: And impossible to prove otherwise.

Victor: Exactly.

Nick: Chance just broke the news. Ashland was in a car accident. He didn’t survive. Summer, I am…

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Nick: …So sorry. This is going to be very hard on harrison.

Summer: I — I got to get home to kyle. Got to figure out how we’re going to deal with this. Thank you for letting me know. Mom, I’ll get back to you about your idea.

Nick: What idea?

Phyllis: Oh, it’s nothing. Um, you seem really broken up about this. I mean… I get the feeling there’s more to the story, and maybe you didn’t want to say it in front of summer.

Nick: Aw, it’s just, you know, sudden,

Phyllis: Uh-huh. Look on the bright side.

Nick: Phyllis, don’t say that.

Phyllis: Let’s be honest. There’s a bright side. You never have to deal with that guy ever, ever again. It’s finally over.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I think it is over.

Victor: Why are you asking me what happened here tonight?

Nick: Dad, please just level with us, alright? If you know more about ashland’s disappearance than you’re saying, now is not the time to hold back.

Victor: Son, I just learned everything while chance was here. I don’t know what happened.

Victoria: I can’t believe that ashland is — is out there. There’s no telling what he’s gonna do next.

Nick: Well, one thing we do know, vick, is nothing is gonna happen to you.

Victor: We won’t let anything happen to you, alright?

Adam: What are you doing here?

Sally: I’m like one of those ghosts in that dickens novel. I’m giving you a second chance. A do-over, so this time you can make the right choice. And we can reclaim our future.

Victor: Well, I’m certain the cops will hunt him down, find him wherever he is.

Victoria: What if he comes back here?

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s why I suggested before that you come with me and with your mother and stay over at the ranch. You’ll be safe and protected.

Nick: I agree with dad, at least until ashland is found and we know you’re out of danger.

Victoria: Okay. I can have a bag packed in a few minutes. I don’t want to stay here tonight after what happened.

Nick: We should have somebody come over here and clean up this place after the police are done with their investigation. She shouldn’t have to come back to it with it looking like this.

Victor: Yep, I agree.

Nick: Ashland cannot be underestimated. Everything I said to chance was true. He wasn’t breathing. There was no pulse. Yet somehow he got out of here. I still don’t know how he did that.

Victoria: I do. I know how he did it. He’s so angry at me, he’s unstoppable.

Victor: Thank the lord he wasn’t killed here tonight. I mean, everyone would have thought it was a revenge killing, considering what a bad relationship locke had with our family.

Victoria: I just wanted him to leave.

Nick: I just was trying to protect my sister, you know? He was gonna kill her. Would you have done anything different?

Victor: No, not at all. Would have done the same thing. You know I would put my life on the line for any of you. Having said that, you may have put yourself in a tough legal position, you know?

Nick: Yeah, I know I could be facing some legal issues, but all that pales in comparison to me thinking I killed a guy, even someone as terrible as locke. That’s why I insisted we call chance. It’s the right thing to do. And I’ll face the consequences.

Victor: Nicholas, you’re a good person.

Victoria: You’re the best.

Victor: And whatever happens, don’t you worry about a damn thing. I’ll take care of it all, okay?

Chance: Now, I just want to spread everything out, alright? I need 2 miles in every direction.

Officer roberts: Is he armed?

Chance: That’s unknown, but go ahead and consider him dangerous. He’s also suffered a head injury, so I think we’re looking for a blood trail here.

Officer roberts: So he could be holed up somewhere.

Chance: Yeah, or he’s running from the law. That’s why we got to stay vigilant. Keep a sharp eye.

Michael: Oh, coffee, please. Chance.

Chance: Give me a minute, will you? Hello, michael.

Michael: Hey.

Chance: I’m telling you, man, things are a bit busy right now.

Michael: I heard. Victor brought me up to speed. Horrible business.

Chance: Looks like it’s gonna be a long night. We just stopped to refuel and work out a game plan.

Michael: Oh, so you’re saying there are no leads, no sightings of ashland? If you have any updates, I’d appreciate it if you could give me a heads up.

Chance: You no longer the da, michael. What makes you so interested? Did victor send you on a fishing expedition, michael? If you haven’t tried dawn powerwash dish spray,

Michael: You know I’m victor’s attorney. I care a great deal about all the newmans. So of course I am invested in what happens to ashland.

Chance: My question was, are you here to report back to the big guy?

Michael: Well, obviously, victor is anxious for news. His daughter was attacked by ashland. Locke is still on the loose. I mean, I think victor is entitled to be kept abreast of whatever’s transpiring with the search for the man who tried to kill his daughter. Would you begrudge him that? News that might put his and his daughter’s mind at ease? Victoria is your wife’s sister. I would think, you know, family comes first.

Chance: Well, family or not, got to play this one by the book, mike. I’m not gonna let anything interfere with this investigation. Not even my father-in-law.

Michael: I respect that.

Chance: Now, I told the newmans that I would contact them once I locate locke. I intend to keep that promise.

Michael: Well, if you do get any information, I’ll be here for a while, so I could relay it myself should the need arise.

Chance: I will keep that in mind. Excuse me, michael.

Nick: Dad, why don’t you take vick home? I’ll lock up around here.

Victor: Thanks, old boy.

Nick: Maybe I’ll even light some sage, you know, and get rid of the bad energy. Hey.

Victoria: I honestly don’t know what I would do without you.

Nick: I’m just glad nothing happened to you.

Nick: Be a good boy.

Victoria: You broke into my house. You threatened me. You grabbed me!

Ashland: No! Enough, alright? I —

Nick: You put your hands on her?!

Ashland: Ugh!

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look. You should not be here.

Sally: Hell, yes, I should. This is exactly where I belong.

Adam: You completely ignored everything that I told you earlier, okay? I told you to stay away. And what did you do? What did you do? You broke into my room.

Sally: Our room, actually. That’s what I told the sweet lady at the front desk. You know, the one we always see when we ask for this room. Who always says what a cute couple we make. I just told her that you forgot to give me the key whenever you checked in and could she be a dear. So [Clicks tongue] Voil.

Adam: And how did you know where to find me?

Sally: Where else would you go but the place we’ve made so many memories? Where we felt safe and powerful and understood, because, like it or not, adam, I understand you.

Adam: Sally, you don’t have the slightest idea about who I really am. Okay? And you’re reading way too much into where I decided to sleep tonight.

Sally: You’re angry at your father for not giving you the ceo gig, so you left the ranch.

Adam: What is this? Is this where I’m supposed to be impressed by your insight into me, sally? Because I’m not. All you’re doing is you’re repeating things that I told you on why I’m walking away from everything.

Sally: You opened up to me because of our connection.

Adam: You know what that was? It was a calculated act of vulnerability on my part to get you to fall in love with me, like I knew it would.

Sally: Don’t try to pretend like this is some kind of game, like I’m another one of your conquests, because I know that’s not true, because I pursued you.

Adam: And what are you doing now? Are you going back into chase mode? Sally, you have to stop acting like this.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] You didn’t think I was just going to give up, did you? I thought we knew each other better than that.

Adam: No, I assumed that you had too much self-respect to keep throwing yourself at someone who just rejected you. So apparently, I don’t know you that well.

Sally: I’m here because i have a ton of self-confidence, enough to endure whatever it is that you’re gonna dish out until you finally drop your defenses.

Adam: Look, this is not me putting up a wall. I am being honest. That part of our lives is over. Okay? We’re moving on in opposite directions. You just — you have to let me go, okay? Whatever you think I’m feeling or wish that I was feeling, I am not. And whatever you think should happen between us, it won’T. You are wrong. There is no future between us. I do not want one. And I don’t know how to get that through your head once and for all.

Sally: You can protest as much as you want, but I know what exists between us. And I don’t want to lose what we have together. With golo, I’ve lost 13 inches in my waist.

Victoria: Oh, my god. What happened? Nick, what’s wrong?

Nick: I, um — I can’t feel a pulse.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry, daddy. I’m sorry for the detour. I just — I need to grab some files before a meeting that I have tomorrow.

Victor: Well, I normally would suggest you take a little rest after this, but I know that you tend to go to work when something like this happens. So do I.

Nikki: Well, what on earth are you two doing here?

Victor: What are you doing here, sweetheart?

Nikki: I’m finishing up some work on the chapman project.

Victor: Oh.

Nikki: Your turn.

Victoria: You read my mind. I’ll take those. Thank you.

Nikki: It’s well after business hours. Why are you here?

Victor: Well, we’re here because our daughter’s gonna pack her things and go out to the ranch with us. She’s gonna stay with us.

Victoria: I’m not sure for how long yet.

Nikki: Well, of course, you’re always welcome. But why? What’s going on?

Victoria: Ashland. He came by the house tonight. He was — he was out of control. He was just so angry, and he threatened me.

Nikki: My god. I was worried that something like this would happen. Are you alright?

Victor: I’m fine, thanks to nicholas. He’s my hero.

Nikki: And where is ashland? I hope that he is in police custody.

Victor: [ Sighs ] They’re looking for him. Everybody’s looking for him. Most important thing is that our children are safe.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victoria: It’s nicholas. Hi, nick. Is everything okay?

Nick: Everything’s fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Good. Okay. Is there anything that you need?

Nick: I just had a question for you. I found this signet ring on the floor near the french doors. It’s got like a — like a crest on it. I was just wondering if it was ashland’S.

Victoria: Yes, I gave it to him for valentine’s day. It bears the loch family crest. He brought it with him tonight, and he was waving it around, ranting about how it used to symbolize our future, but now it just represents my deceit.

Nick: Did he throw it or something?

Victoria: No, no. I remember, he put it back in his shirt pocket. He said he wanted to hold on to it to remind him how cruel the world is.

Nikki: Yeah, as if he was the victim in all of this.

Nick: How’d it get on the floor?

Victoria: All I know is i never want to see that thing again.

Nick: Yeah, understood. I’ll take care of it. Stay safe.

Victoria: You too. No matter what type of dog you have…

Adam: I — I didn’t mean to hurt you.

Sally: Is this your attempt to apologize? Because I’d categorize it as a fail.

Adam: Sally, you’re — you’re disillusioned, okay? You’re confused.

Sally: No, no, no. Please, please keep explaining my emotions to me.

Adam: I am not doing that, okay? You are the one who is conflating our personal relationship with our work relationship. In your mind, you think being with me and being the leader of newman media are intertwined, but they don’t have to be. They’re not, okay? You don’t need love to succeed.

Sally: Yeah. Damn straight. But i want love in my life. And I’m not confused about the way that I’m feeling. I know exactly why I want to be with you above anything else.

Adam: Sally, look, there’s just — there’s no point in belaboring this.

Sally: You know what? You’re not an expert on me. But follow along because maybe you will learn a thing or two. As you’re aware, my parents vanished from my life when I was very young, and my sister and me had to fend for ourselves. And not only that, they left a big black hole where my heart had been. And thank god that I had my sister and my brilliant grandmother to take care of us. Those two were my everything. And every single time I reached high and I fell hard trying to build my career or searching for someone to spend my life with, those two were there every time everything came crashing down. Those were my constants. But something was always missing in my heart.

Adam: Well, I’m glad that you have them in your life. Maybe you should call them now.

Sally: Please, don’t you dare give me advice because I know what’s best for me. So many times I thought to myself, “great, I found the perfect job or the man of my dreams,” only to have my heart broken and my hopes dashed again and again. But I never let it break my spirit. Because I always knew that there was the right person out there for me somewhere. And then… I met you. And for the first time in my life, that black hole… completely vanished. It was like I had known you my entire life, in every possible universe, and we had finally found our way to each other again. This is our time. This is the right place to be. And all the stars are aligned. I am not your enemy. I am not your impediment. I have never stood between you and your family or you and anything that you wanted, because I want those same things and we can have those things together. So just admit it — that you still love me and that I am good for you. Can you please stop resisting it and start working with me so we can start finding our way through this? Find our way back to each other again.

Victoria: It just all happened so fast.

Nikki: Darling, just take your time.

Victoria: I told ashland that he was a twisted, unlovable monster. And he grabbed me, so I found something to defend myself with [Sighs] And then I ran. He ran after me. And then nick was there.

Nikki: Oh, thank goodness.

Victoria: He got between us and he stopped ashland. And then nick tried to get him to leave, but he refused to leave. So I ran into the kitchen to — to grab my phone so that I could call the police. And I thought I heard ashland say that he was going to finish what he had come there to do. And when I came back into the room, he was — he was on the floor. Ashland was laying on the floor, and nick was checking for a pulse. Mom, we thought ashland was dead. He fell. He hit his head near the fireplace, but there was no pulse and we tried to resuscitate him. So we went outside to get some air and to just try to — try to understand what just happened. But when we came back, he was gone.

Nikki: Wait, gone?

Victoria: No, not dead gone. Like “not there anymore” gone. How is that even possible?

Nikki: I don’t know.

Victoria: When ashland came after me, I — I just swore that I was gonna do whatever it took to fight him off. And if nicholas hadn’t have come, I don’t know what I would have done. I mean, I could have killed him.

Nikki: But you didn’T. And neither did your brother. Thank god. That is the last thing you want to have on your conscience. This way, you have nothing to apologize for, nothing to regret.

Victor: Sweetheart, your mother’s right, okay? Most important thing is that you’re safe and that everyone in the family is safe right now.

Victoria: Thank you.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victor: Excuse me. Okay, I’m gonna take this outside, okay?

Nikki: Is it the police?

Victor: No. I’ll explain later.

Nikki: Baby.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Victor: You’re keeping your eyes on chance?

Michael: Yeah. He’s still here in the coffee house, talking with another officer. I thought I’d have something more worthwhile to report by now, but…

Victor: And no one has located ashland locke?

Michael: Not yet. What you want me to do?

Victor: Nothing. You don’t have to hang around there.

Michael: Alright, I’ll keep you informed.

Nick: I’m assuming that was my father.

Michael: Well, you’d be correct. He filled me in on everything that happened tonight.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. It must have been quite an ordeal for you.

Nick: Thanks. Any updates?

Michael: Yeah, chance is not in a sharing mood. Beyond that, I don’t think there’s — there’s been any news.

Nick: Actually, I have a few words for chance myself.

Michael: Hold on, hold on. Before you do that, there’s something I need to know.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: That was beautiful, sally, really. Okay? But nothing has changed. I just — I don’t feel the same way as you do.

Sally: Do you remember when we first started working together? Any time we were within five feet of each other, we were in dangerous territory. We wanted each other so badly, but we knew if we got too close that we would just burn up in each other’s atmosphere. You had never met a woman like me. You had been looking for me your whole entire life. And you couldn’t walk away from me.

Adam: Well, that was then. Okay? Life moves on, and so do I.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Okay, okay. Yeah, you can just keep pretending like you don’t love me for whatever misguided reasons that are flowing through your head or maybe you’ve actually convinced yourself that it’s true. But I know what’s real. And I know you, adam. And I know eventually you will come around and you will realize… that this is a massive mistake. And the tragic thing is you probably won’t even realize what a catastrophic screw-up it is until it is way too late and I have moved on the way that you’re proclaiming that you want me to. So I suggest that you think long and hard about what it is that you will be losing if you let me slip away… just to prove whatever point it is that you are trying to make.

Michael: How are you holding up?

Nick: I’m alright.

Michael: Really? Because after what you’ve been through, I imagine — how would I put this — that you’re experiencing a lot of conflicting emotions.

Nick: Truthfully, I’m walking a fine line here. Do I wish ashland would vanish from the face of the earth, never to be heard from again? Absolutely. But when I think about possibly having a hand in the taking of another man’s life…

Michael: That’s because —

Nick: Is he hurt? Is he suffering?

Michael: You’re a good man. That’s because you’re a good man. You cannot blame yourself for anything you did in that moment. You had every right to protect your sister and yourself.

Nick: I just want him found.

Michael: He will be. With all those people looking for him, he can’t hide for long. Justice will be served. Just… try to get some rest.

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

Nick: Thanks.

Michael: Nick, nick… take care of yourself.

Nick: Alright.

Chance: Alright, let me know if anything changes.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: Hey. You alright?

Nick: Yeah, I just wanted to thank you again for your help tonight.

Chance: Happy to help.

Nick: Well, I think I can help you even more.

Chance: You got some more details for me?

Nick: I found this.

Nikki: I’m so glad you’re gonna be staying with us. Can only imagine what it was like to be attacked in your home again.

Victoria: You know, mom, when ashland came at me, it triggered this heavy rush of memories about — about J.T.

Nikki: Must’ve been awful reliving that trauma.

Victoria: The thing is, there was a medical reason for J.T.’S behavior. I mean, that brain tumor, that’s what caused him to be violent. It had nothing to do with me. But with ashland, I brought him and his chaos and his poison into our lives.

Nikki: Darling, you fell in love with the wrong person. I and the rest of this family have made that same mistake before.

Victoria: But I-I keep making that mistake again and again, falling for flawed, damaged men that I just delude myself into thinking that I can fix, like some struggling company that I can buy and make profitable again.

Nikki: Honey. You want to see the best in the people that you love. That’s not a bad thing.

Victoria: Mom, thank you so much. I appreciate you trying to comfort me, but we both know that I have a blind spot when it comes to relationships. When I got involved with ashland, you all tried to warn me, but I didn’t listen to you.

Nikki: That doesn’t mean you’re responsible for what happened tonight.

Victoria: How can you say that? I forced you to accept him. I made excuses for his lies, and he did exactly what nick and everyone else said he would do. And I just don’t know how I’m supposed to forgive myself.

[ Sighs ] At metro by t-mobile… you can save more.

Nikki: Darling, you have to help me understand why you feel even a hint of guilt over what happened.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Mom, I’m not saying that I’m solely responsible. I’m disgusted by what ashland did. And he lied, and — and he used me and the rest of the family to get what he wanted, and it’s completely unforgivable. You have no idea how good it felt to turn the tables on him and to — to make him pay.

Nikki: It must have been an amazing feeling.

Victoria: It was. I took everything that he had.

[ Sighs ] And that was the plan. But maybe I took too much.

Nikki: What do you mean?

Victoria: Do you remember what I told you about how defeated he looked when I left him in new york?

Nikki: Yes.

Victoria: Well, I think maybe something shattered in him. Because after what I witnessed tonight, it was — it was kind of like the final destruction of his psyche. I mean, I wanted to punish him. I wanted to hurt him the same way that he hurt me. And I wanted to exact some modicum of revenge. And I think —

Nikki: Darling, darling, i can’t let you keep going on like this. If bobby defranco — and yes, we are going to call the monster by his real name — if bobby defranco doesn’t realize that every predator is someone’s prey, well, then he’s learned a valuable lesson. Nobody messes with the newmans. He lost. His feelings got hurt. That’s on him.

Victoria: I hadn’t thought of it like that.

Nikki: And I completely understand why you’re feeling vulnerable right now. That is normal, especially for someone like you. You’re a very caring, forgiving person. And this was a man you once loved and wanted to spend the rest of your life with. But he was never the man he wanted you to believe he was. So I don’t want you to waste one more ounce of grief over him. Don’t give him that power. He never deserved you, and he certainly doesn’t deserve your sympathy. So whatever his fate may be, I’m not gonna shed any tears over him and neither should you.

Victor: I couldn’t agree more, sweetheart.

Chance: What do you know about this ring?

Nick: It was a valentine’s gift from victoria to locke. He said it was a symbol of her betrayal and he shoved it in her face and then stuffed it in his shirt pocket. But I found it on the ground. I don’t know. It may not mean anything.

Chance: Okay. So, what, it fell out of his pocket or something?

Nick: Maybe he took it out to look at it. I don’t know. Vick said that he didn’t throw it.

Chance: Well, regardless, I appreciate you bringing this to me. Thank you.

Nick: Yeah. How’s the search going? Michael said you guys still haven’t found locke.

Chance: Nope. That’s odd, right? Especially considering the fact he’s been injured. But, you know, we’re looking for a blood trail leading from the house, searching for his vehicle as well. We’ll find him. Nick, is there anything else you want to get off your chest?

Adam: Look, believe me, I have thought this through. What’s done is done. There’s really nothing more i can say.

Sally: Alright.

Adam: That’s it?

Sally: Yeah, you heard me out, as promised. So I wish you a good night.

Adam: So we’re done here, just like that?

Sally: Yeah. Except for this. I will be resigning from newman media first thing in the morning.

Adam: Okay, look, you cannot do that. You love that job.

Sally: I don’t want it anymore because becoming ceo might have cost me my happiness. A jelly bean that’s good for you?

Nick: No, I’ve got nothing to add. It’s just been a long night, you know?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Chance: Give me a sec. Yeah? Yeah, I’ll be right there. I got to run, man.

Nick: Is that about ashland?

Chance: You can’t get involved, nick, I’m sorry.

Nick: Come on. This has been so hard on victoria. Just give me something I can tell her that’ll help her go to sleep tonight.

Chance: We don’t have a positive id yet, but my officers did find a car at the bottom of a ravine.

Nick: Was it ashland’s? Look, I can go with you. I can help you id —

Chance: Nick, nick, nick, you’re not getting involved. Okay? I will let you know any pertinent details when the time is right. Until then, stay out of it.

Adam: Yes. I need to book a flight out of genoa city first thing in the morning. Las vegas.

Sally: World falling apart and wishing you could get a do-over?

Nick: How could you tell?

Sally: You look like hell. And I hear misery loves company, so…can I buy you a coffee?

Nikki: Let’s get you home so you can rest. You must be exhausted.

Victoria: I actually do feel like I might be able to sleep for a couple of hours. Thank you, daddy, for everything.

Victor: You know that I will always protect you. Nothing means more to me than to know that all of you are safe.

Nikki: Are you coming home with us?

Victor: One second. I need to deal with something right now, okay? Come in, michael.

Michael: I was just about to ask if I might be of any assistance. You okay, nikki?

Nikki: It’s been a difficult night.

Michael: Victoria, I’m so sorry this happened to you. Let me know if there’s anything I can do.

Victoria: Thank you, michael.

Victor: Let me know as soon as you’re home safely, okay?

Nikki: I will. Please come home soon.

Victor: I will. Thank you. Have a seat, old boy. Any update?

Michael: I was informed by a member of your team that chance’s men have found ashland’s car.

Victor: With ashland inside? Good.

Nick: I searched everywhere. Ashland didn’t just stumble off into some other room. There’s no trail of blood for us to see where he went.

Victoria: This just makes no sense.

Nick: I saw him fall and hit his head. I checked him. He wasn’t breathing.

Victoria: We both checked his pulse. I mean, I tried to revive him. How is it possible that we’re wrong?

Nick: I think we have to assume that ashland’s alive and that he made it outside and that he got away somehow.

Summer: [ Sighs ] Thanks for suggesting coming here. Part of me just wanted to stay at home and watch harrison sleep after the bullet we dodged with ashland today.

Kyle: Me too. But he’s safe and sound, thanks in part to my mom.

Summer: She showed up for us big time.

Kyle: Mm. And I wanted us to have a little alone time so I can thank you for being such a great stepmom and wife.

Summer: And now business partner.

Kyle: Oh! How could I forget? I think we should toast to that.

Summer: I think so, too. Well, well, well, would you look at that? My brother and your…

Kyle: Niece.

Summer: Right. Would you mind if we went over there? I know that it’s our date night, but I haven’t caught up with noah in forever.

Kyle: I think you just want to spy on the new romance.

Summer: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Kyle: Don’t get me wrong, I’m on board. I haven’t had a chance to talk to allie, which is kind of embarrassing because we live in the same house, so let’s do it.

Summer: Okay.

Kyle: Hey, guys. Looks like you had the same idea on how to spend your evening.

Noah: Hey, how’s it going?

Allie: Look at you two out and about.

Summer: Seems like you’re settling into your newly adopted city.

Allie: Yeah, well, I have a pretty great tour guide.

Sharon: You look like you are mulling something over. Can I get you something to drink while you’re doing that?

Adam: Sure. Thank you. How — how you doing?

Sharon: Oh, I’m hanging in there. You know, some days are better than others, but I think I’m doing as well as can be expected. How are you?

Adam: I’m okay, you know? Connor is away at camp, and I have decided to move off the ranch for the time being. I’m taking up a room at the grand phoenix.

Sharon: Oh, yeah, I heard about the personnel changes at newman enterprises. Might that be the reason for your move?

Adam: Personnel change? You mean victoria’s return, nick’s rise, and my fall?

Sharon: You know, I have to admit, I was a little surprised that nick decided to go back to the company, but I knew he spent a lot of time thinking it through before he agreed.

Adam: Really? I always thought he was the “go on instinct” kind of guy.

Sharon: Well, to be fair, you both act on reflexes sometimes. Nick told me that you turned down the ceo position at newman media. Might that have been an impetuous decision?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] That was well played. I walked right into that one. But, no, my decision was a calculated, yet defiant declaration of independence from my father.

Sharon: I see. So once you cool down, maybe you’ll change your mind.

Adam: It’s like I’m saying the words, but you’re not hearing them.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] Sorry. It just does seem like a little bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but only because I know how much building newman media into a successful company meant to you.

Adam: Yes, I did build it up, and my family rewarded me by using me and kicking me back to the curb again once victoria, the anointed, reappeared. I have tried for the last time to be a part of the inner circle, but they will not allow it and I don’t want it. I have finally cut ties with victor.

Nick: There’s no sign of him back there.

Victoria: He must’ve —

[ Sighs ] I don’t know, he got up and left. There’s no other explanation.

Nick: He had no pulse.

Victoria: Maybe we were wrong about that. Maybe there was a pulse, but it was just too faint, so we didn’t detect it. But obviously, ashland is alive because he walked away. That’s — there’s no other explanation, nick. I mean, the good news is you didn’t kill him.

[ Door closes ]

Victor: Are you alright?

Victoria: Dad, what are you doing here?

Kyle: I think we’ve earned ourselves a cocktail. I’ll grab us drinks, okay?

Noah: I’ll go with you.

Summer: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast. Why don’t you sit here with me? I haven’t had a chance to catch up with noah since mariah and tessa’s wedding.

Kyle: Oh. Want to carry drinks with me?

Allie: Sure.

Kyle: Let’s go.

Summer: So…

Noah: So what?

Summer: So what’s with that smirk?

Noah: Oh, come on, you live with allie. You can’t be blind to her charms.

Summer: And apparently, she’s not blind to yours either.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: This is perfect, ’cause I was hoping to grab a moment alone with you. Not for any specific reason. I’ve just been busy moving my family back from genoa city and this new gig with marchetti. I haven’t had a chance to get to know you better, and I’d like to.

Noah: I like that, too. And I totally get why you’re busy with work and family, especially diane.

Kyle: Ah, you’re not one for small talk.

Allie: I just figured we have spent so much of our lives not knowing that each other existed, that why not just cut straight to the meaty part, right? Unless I offended you in any way.

Kyle: No, not at all. I appreciate the directness. It’s a nice change of pace. So, are you one of the people who is angry with my mother?

Allie: I am team undecided. Look, she used me to get to jack, and that was upsetting. But then she has also just been nice to me ever since. I will say this, though. She does have a lot of enemies in town.

Kyle: She has done more than a few questionable things.

Allie: And there are people who are willing to try to forgive her, and there are others who want.

Kyle: That’s right.

Allie: You know, there is a lot of curiosity about where my sympathies lie.

Kyle: Really?

Allie: Oh, yeah.

Kyle: Sorry you got caught up in that.

Allie: It’s fine. I’m not too worried about it. I’m pretty good at steering myself away from trouble, and I’m pretty motivated to do that these days. For the first time in a long time, my future’s looking pretty bright.

Kyle: Noah have something to do with that?

Allie: Perhaps. Hey, I do have one other question for you.

Kyle: Shoot.

Allie: Okay.

Allie: Is being and abbott as perfect as it appears to be?

Victoria: Dad, how did you know to come here?

Victor: I had a security detail following you ever since I learned that ashland locke was back in town.

Victoria: Yeah, I know. I’ve seen them.

Victor: They were discreetly stationed in a car outside the house tonight.

Nick: Did they see ashland? Is he alive?

Chance: Hey. Got here as soon as I could.

Victor: Chance.

Chance: What happened with ashland? Is everyone okay?

Sharon: I didn’t mean to doubt your intentions. What I meant was I’ve seen you go down this road before a few times, and you never get very far.

Adam: Well, I assure you that this time is different.

Sharon: Hey, if this really is you making a clean break from victor, I applaud it.

Adam: And yet you support nick rejoining the family fold?

Sharon: Well, you and nick are very different.

Adam: Ah. [ Chuckles ] I’m gonna take that as a compliment. Look, I know that you have always thought that I needed to define myself in a way that is separate from my father.

Sharon: Yes, that’s because the tortured dynamic between the two of you is responsible for your worst tendencies and actions. I mean, you’re either trying to prove something to him or you’re punishing him for some perceived wrongdoing.

Adam: Yeah, you’re right. That’s why the only way for me to truly be free is to make a clean break, because trying to prove myself under the newman umbrella, under victor’s control, is impossible. As much as he says he’s gonna give me a autonomy, it just isn’t true. He just wants to be able to take back the reins whenever it suits him.

Sharon: I get that. And I agree. But this last go-round at newman media, I mean, the last few months, I have seen some glimpses of the good man that I know you to be at your core. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… maybe sally had some influence on you and maybe she helped get you there? Hi, I’m denise.

Victoria: Ashland showed up at the house earlier uninvited.

Chance: I heard that you two had split. I don’t know much of the specific details, but we don’t have to get into that right now. Why don’t you just walk me through what happened here tonight?

Victoria: I recently made it clear to ashland that — that I wanted nothing more to do with him going forward. And obviously, ashland had a hard time accepting that. He showed up at the house, the back door, wanting to talk. I let him come in so he could say his piece. And he started rambling. He said some — some pretty awful things to me.

[ Sighs ] And when I insisted that there was no future for the two of us, he — he just grew more agitated.

Chance: Take a minute if you need to.

Victoria: No, I’m fine. At one point, he grabbed me, and that’s when I knew that he was gonna hurt me.

Chance: Did he hurt you?

Victoria: No, I was able to get away from him, and that’s when nicholas showed up. Thank god. Because I knew at that point — I knew that ashland was gonna kill me.

Adam: Well, you might as well hear this from me since it’ll be public knowledge soon enough. But sally and i have ended our relationship.

Sharon: Oh, wow. Well, I’m sorry to hear that.

Adam: You are? I mean, I didn’t peg you as a member of the sally spectra fan club.

Sharon: Well, I definitely wasn’t, and she and i certainly are not friends. But, you know, she seemed to care about you. I mean, she supported you extricating yourself from your complicated family dynamic. And I don’t know, she seemed to get you and vice versa.

Adam: But you just said you didn’t know that well, so what makes you think that?

Sharon: Actually, sally came to see me a while ago to talk to me about you.

Adam: I’m — I’m sorry, sharon. She should not have done that.

Sharon: Yeah, I was pretty suspicious at first, but ultimately, I became convinced that she did it because she cares about you.

Adam: Well, the truth is that sally and i were holding each other back.

Adam: How was she holding you back?

Adam: She wasn’t exactly a popular choice with certain people.

Sharon: Well, you know, you can be an acquired taste yourself sometimes.

Adam: Hmm. Point taken. But it just — it just got too complicated.

Adam: Okay, well, you said that you don’t care about what victor thinks or nick or victoria, so it can’t be that.

Adam: There were a lot of other factors, and I just — I really don’t want to get into the details.

Sharon: Hey, it’s me you’re talking to — the person that you can be honest with, and I can be honest with you. You know, you were the first person I was able to reveal the full extent of my grief to when rey died. I really am grateful for that, and I’d like to return the favor.

Adam: Maybe I wanted to let her fly without me holding her back. I was setting her free so she could soar, okay? You, of all people, should know that I can be a debilitating weight, you know? Albatross around the neck of anyone who cares about me.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Okay. I’m sure you hurt her, but I don’t believe all that. Come on.

Sally: You were lying to me. I knew it. I could sense it in my soul. You think you’re doing me a favor, but it is a favor that I don’t want. All I want is to be with you. I mean, you’re barely older than okay, being an abbott definitely has its upsides,

Kyle: [ Laughs ] Okay, being an abbott definitely has its upsides, but it can still be a roller coaster, and you’ll figure that out if you stick around, which I hope you will.

Allie: Yeah, it’s looking more and more likely.

Kyle: I’m sorry I never got to know your dad, my brother.

Allie: Yeah, the fact that he is your brother, it’s weird. I mean, you’re barely older than I am.

Kyle: Learning you had a whole new family that you never knew existed, it must have been bizarre for you.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah. And I really wasn’t sure if I’d have a relationship with any of you, but from the very first moment I met jack, he has been nothing but wonderful. And then there’s traci, abby, billy — they’ve all been so warm and so welcoming.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: But I knew ashley was skeptical of me at first.

[ Chuckles ] But I feel like she has really come to trust and accept me as part of the family.

Kyle: Yeah, she can be tough and protective.

Allie: Oh, yeah.

Kyle: Just like most of the women in the family. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Allie: I agree, and I feel very lucky to be included in that group. Hey, I’m also thrilled to be joining jabot.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Allie: I’m sorry we’re just missing each other there.

Kyle: Well, I’m not going anywhere exactly. I’ll just be overseeing a new division, so I’ll still be there.

Allie: That’s true.

Kyle: I’m glad you found your place.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, I am, too.

Noah: Why don’t you sit down? I want to talk to you about something.

Summer: Okay. What’s going on? You’re making me nervous.

Noah: I am leaving new hope.

Summer: What? Why? Wait, does this mean that you’re leaving genoa city? Like, seriously, as soon as i get back.

Noah: No, I’m not leaving town. I’m just leaving new hope.

Summer: Okay, phew. I got to be honest, I’m kind of not that surprised. I mean, this has always sort of felt like a stopgap for you. I’m sure dad’s gonna be disappointed, though.

Noah: I thought the same. I didn’t think he’d take it well, but we talked earlier, and he was surprisingly accepting. I know he wanted me to fill in over at new hope now that he’s back at newman, but he understood it just wasn’t the right fit for me.

Summer: Dad’s pretty good about putting his kids’ happiness first.

Noah: Yeah, we got lucky that way.

Summer: We did. You know, when I went over to milan, he flew over with me. He helped me get all settled in, even though I knew he did not want me to leave genoa city.

Noah: This might be a little too analytical, but, you know, maybe dad’s always been a little bit more hands-off because grandpa had such a heavy hand in his kids lives.

Summer: Yeah. Dad wants something different for us.

Chance: Okay. Do you think you can continue?

Nick: Maybe I’ll take the next bit. When I got here, ashland was in a total rage, acting like a crazy person. He was screaming at me to stay out of it, to just mind my own business, but obviously I wasn’t gonna leave my sister here alone with him, so I told her to go and call the police.

Victoria: That’s when I ran into the kitchen.

Nick: And he tried to go after her. Then I stopped him, you know, and it got physical. We were pushing each other and…

[ Sighs ] I socked him in the jaw, and then he fell down. He hit his head on the fireplace. I was yelling at him to get up, and he wouldn’t answer me, so I knelt down to check on him to find a pulse, and I couldn’t find one.

Victoria: That’s when I came back in from the other room and I saw him lying on the ground unconscious and he was bleeding. I checked his pulse too, and, um, I even tried to resuscitate him.

Nick: It all happened so fast, you know? All I wanted to do was protect my sister. But I’m telling you, ashland was completely out of control. But the idea that I may have taken someone’s life, even as someone as terrible as ashland, you know, it was really messing with me. So I needed to go outside and get some air, so I took off out the front, and victoria followed me, you know, just to make sure I was okay.

Victor: So obviously my son acted out of self-defense. Trying to protect his sister from this monster.

Chance: Well, based off everyone’s interpretations, I agree with you. I’m very sorry that this happened. I’m glad nick was here to intervene. But I do have a question. Where’s ashland now?

Victoria: Uh…well, the thing is…

Nick: We have no idea. After I was able to calm down and get my head right, we came back inside. He was gone. Ashland was just gone.

Sharon: I think I’m gonna leave you two alone to discuss things.

Adam: Yeah, I should probably go.

Sally: No, don’t even try. Okay. You can stop lying now. I just heard everything that you said to sharon. And I really don’t know whether to be furious with you or to wrap my arms around you and tell you that I love you because now I know that you still love me, too.

Adam: What are you talking about? I didn’t say anything about loving you.

Sally: Okay, you know, I’m not gonna let you get away with that. I just heard it with my own ears. You said that you were setting me free to let me soar. I don’t know why you have this idea in your head that you’re making some grand gesture so that I can keep my job, but it’s crazy.

Adam: No, I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

Sally: No, I did not. You keep telling me that you broke up with me so you could look better in victor’s eyes. That’s a lie. It’s a lie. You don’t care what victor thinks. I just heard you telling sharon as much.

Adam: Well, that’s because I was lying to sharon. I wasn’t lying to you.

Sally: Why would you do that? Why wouldn’t you tell her the same thing that you told me if it’s the truth?

Adam: Because I care about sharon’s opinion, and I didn’t want her thinking that I still had issues with my father, so it was easier and it was cleaner to make her think that my actions were noble.

Sally: Still not buying it.

Adam: Look, sharon has intimate knowledge of my history, and I know that she was gonna tell me that I shouldn’t be affected by his influence. So it was easier to have a preemptive lie to avoid her judgment. Okay? You starting to get it now? I don’t know how much clearer I can be.

Sally: It just seems like you’re scrambling to come up with an explanation.

Adam: Yeah, because you keep following me around, listening in to all the conversations that I’m having, sally.

Sally: I’m not following you.

Adam: No, I think you are. And actually, it’s making you seem pathetic and it’s making you seem desperate.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Need a cleanser that does more?

Sally: Can you really say that you don’t miss that? That you don’t miss us? I don’t care what your brother or your sister think of me and I don’t give a damn about victor’s opinions, so you can spin whatever story it is that you want about our breakup to me, to your family, or to sharon, and you can even lie to yourself, but that kiss — that was the truth. You love me as much as I love you. Why can’t you get that through you thick skull? I don’t care if I continue to work at newman media. It is just a job. What you and I have is so much more.

Adam: Stop it. Okay, just stop it. You’re making a fool out of yourself, okay? You can believe it or you can not believe it, sally, but we are done. You have no choice but to move on.

Chance: It’s a pretty sharp edge. If he hit this hard enough to draw that much blood, I’m sure he concussed himself.

Nick: That fall knocked him out. That’s why vick and I thought that he was dead.

Chance: Yeah, well, sometimes a pulse can be tough to find. I mean, the guy must have been alive. Bodies just don’t disappear like this. Still, if he was able to stumble out of here, especially after being knocked unconscious like that, he had to be weak and disoriented. You know, he’s a tough guy from making out of the house at all. Victoria, I got in the car and left right after you called me. So would you say that was about 15 minutes after all this?

Victor: What are you suggesting?

Summer: You definitely get the credit for putting a smile back on my brother’s face and for giving him a good reason to stay in town. Don’t tell anyone, but I kind of like having you around.

Noah: Yeah, I feel the same way, but if any of you say anything, I’ll deny it.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: I’m not the only reason that noah’s sticking around. Tell them, it’s exciting.

Noah: I have this new idea. I want to take the entire glam vibe from mariah and tessa’s wedding and open up a new nightclub. Heavy on the art, kind of a lounge-y vibe.

Summer: That sounds cool.

Kyle: Yeah. Genoa city could really use a place like that. When are you planning on getting it off the ground?

Noah: Well, I’m putting together a pitch for grandpa right now because I kind of want to transform the top of the tower.

Summer: I don’t mean to be a downer, but I think you might have just hit your first roadblock. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Noah: What, you got a problem with my plan already?

Summer: Yeah. A grandpa-shaped problem. I mean, he kind of likes having the top of the tower in the newman building. He uses it a lot. He uses it as sort of like a second office. I’m not sure he’s gonna go for turning it into a nightclub with a glam vibe.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I don’t think victor knows what glam vibe is.

Noah: I beg to differ, my friend. Have you seen pictures of him in the ’70s? Dude was a stud.

Kyle: I have.

Summer: True.

Kyle: And I stand corrected. But he was less of a bowie and more of a burt reynolds.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Who’s burt reynolds?

Noah: Are you ser– okay. We have a movie marathon in our future.

[ Chuckles ]

Allie: Okay, well, I’ve only met your grandfather once, so I’m not an expert here, but from what I hear, he’s a really great businessman and great businessmen can see a great idea. Didn’t you guys have a ton of fun at the wedding?

Summer: Well, yeah, I mean, we had a great time, but unfortunately, grandpa wasn’t there to witness it. I just think you might have a hard time convincing him of this one. I hope I’m wrong, though, but… you know what? I think I might have another idea for you.

Noah: Oh, yeah, what’s that?

Summer: My mom’s hotel. There’s this amazing space on the top floor that would be kind of perfect for what you’re going for.

Noah: Huh. Yeah, I hadn’t really thought about the grand phoenix. I mean, it’s already an upscale destination.

Kyle: Actually might be a better fit for the vibe you’re going for.

Summer: Ooh, ooh, if you could get it ready in time, maybe we could host marchetti’s winter fashion show there.

Noah: Okay, thank you for the idea, but let me think on it for a little bit, okay? I know, and I’m kind of dead set on transforming the top of the tower already, but if it doesn’t work with grandpa, I promise I’ll keep you in mind.

Summer: Okay. Sounds good. But let’s raise a toast. To new possibilities.

Allie: Hear, hear.

Noah: Hear, hear.

Sally: Thank you.

Sharon: Are you okay?

Sally: No, I’M…not.

Sharon: Do you want to talk about it?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I think I do. I always pride myself on knowing what’s what, on being able to read people. That’s like my thing. But, I mean, adam’s latest moves have my head spinning, and I just don’t know what to believe.

Sharon: Do you mind if I ask what happened between the two of you?

Sally: He claimed that he lost everything because of me, that being with me tainted his image in his father’s eyes. But then I just heard him telling you the exact opposite thing, which is exactly what I assumed all along, that he just broke up with me out of some favor to me and my career. But then when I confronted him about it, he told me that he was lying to you so you didn’t think badly of him. And now I just — my head is spinning and I have whiplash.

Sharon: Well, sometimes adam, he can be hard to understand.

Sally: The last time I came to you for insight on adam’s relationship with victor, you were really helpful. So can I ask you this? Am I fooling myself? Because honestly, I thought I knew adam, but now I just don’t know.

Sharon: I don’t know for sure what’s going on with adam, but as far as the differing stories, I agree that’s confusing, but I’m guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Sally: How so?

Sharon: Well, he just got through telling me that he’s done with his father forever, which I find very hard to believe. But I can accept that he might feel that he needs to step away. And that will give you a chance to prove yourself at newman media without your relationship with him tainting people’s perception of you.

Sally: Well, I mean, if that’s the truth — and I want to believe that it is — shouldn’t that be my call? My battle to fight? Because despite what people think, adam has never influenced things for me. He always let me prove myself in my own way. So why is he suddenly doubting my ability to do that?

Sharon: I can’t speak to that. But I do know that it is a newman trait to think you’re doing right by protecting people even when they haven’t asked for protection. Much like what happened with victoria. Everyone moved in to save her from ashland.

Sally: Well, if adam is wounding me in some misguided attempt to help me, then I think I can forgive him. But I just don’t know how to get through to him so we can find our way past it. How can I stop him from being so damn noble and just go back to loving me again?

Chance: I’m here to help. And the best way that I can do that is to know precisely what happened here. Now, I’m asking questions based off what I’m seeing. Just trying to make sense of everything.

Victor: Now I’m taking orders in myself now. If you don’t mind my saying so, seemingly ashland still had a pulse because he walked out of here on his own.

Nick: And went where? I’m telling you, the condition he was in, he couldn’t have gotten far.

Chance: How about his car? Did you see it when you got here? No, it’s part of the reason why I was so surprised to find him here.

Victoria: He came in the back door, so maybe he’s parked out back or on a side street.

Chance: Okay, well, I’ll get some officers to search the area, keep an eye out for him on foot and for his vehicle.

Victoria: Thank you.

Chance: Again, victoria, I’m really sorry that this happened. I hadn’t realized things had deteriorated with him so much.

Victoria: I’m just grateful for your help now.

Nick: So what do we do next? I mean, should we tell summer and kyle that ashland’s around. He could go after harrison?

Victor: No, son, I think that’s not a good idea. I don’t think we should alarm them unnecessarily, you know? Besides that, harrison’s probably asleep at the abbotts’, and talking about that, why don’t you send a squad car over to that neighborhood and have them check it out, okay?

Chance: I can do that, but I wouldn’t worry. I doubt he makes it that far. If he’s smart, the first place he’s going is the hospital. I will find ashland. And when I do, would you like to press charges?

Victoria: Yes, I want him arrested and put away so nothing like this ever happens again. How did olay top expensive creams?

Sharon: I really wish there were an easy answer, but unfortunately, when it comes to adam, there often is not.

Sally: Yeah, learning that the hard way. But I still can’t help loving him.

Sharon: I think there is truth to the notion that your success at newman media was precarious at best as long as you were involved with him. You must know by now that victoria does not like or trust him.

Sally: You think? She doesn’t exactly hide her feelings.

Sharon: Well, it’s been that way for a long time, unfortunately.

Sally: Yeah, definitely picked up on some vibes by association from her.

Sharon: And now that he is back at the newman family business, nick will be part of the equation too. And there was a time when their relationship had cooled down, when adam had donated a kidney to my daughter faith, but they still have a complicated and tempestuous history. I think that nick wavers between tolerance and outright hatred for his brother.

Sally: I know that adam is a flawed and complicated guy. I just don’t understand why the family dynamics have to figure in so heavily into our relationship. I mean, why does victor and nikki and victoria and nick always have to be so intimately involved in every single thing?

Sharon: Because they’re newmans. They come as a package deal. I think maybe the important question here is how much do you value your job at newman media?

Sally: I have told adam over and over that it is not remotely as important to me as he is.

Sharon: Well, if that’s the case, you’ll just have to find a way to prove that to him.

Sally: Can you really say that you don’t miss that? That you don’t miss us?

Chance: Okay. I think I’m done here. I’m gonna get as many eyes as I can on the roads as soon as possible, start looking for this guy.

Victor: Alright.

Chance: Before I go, is there anything else you need to tell me? Anything you might have forgotten, maybe left out? You see, in situations like this, no detail is too small.

Nick: Am I missing anything?

Victoria: I don’t think so.

Nick: We’re good.

Victor: I think we have covered all the salient facts of the evening.

Chance: Okay, well, I’ll contact you once I locate him.

Victor: Alright. Chance.

Nick: Alright, he’s gone. You want to tell us what really happened here tonight?
