Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: [ Sighing ]

Sally: I won’t stop fighting for what I want… if you won’T.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

[ Keys clacking ]

Sally: Do you remember when you introduced me to this nectar?

Adam: As I recall, you took to it right away.

Sally: Just like I took to you right away.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Sally: When I am overcome with inspiration, I have a hard time holding back.

Nick: Whereas I tend to do the exact opposite — overthink things. Sometimes it’s best, though, just to dive in, learn as you go.

Sally: [ Sighing ]

Adam: Wait a minute. Are you saying that you’re falling in love with me?

[ Knock on door ]

Summer: Hi. Busy?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Nick: There you are. You weren’t at your place. Took a shot you’d still be up on the roof.

Adam: Well, congratulations, nick. You found me, okay? Now, I strongly suggest that you turn around and you head back down those stairs.

Lily: So what happened when you confronted tucker?

Devon: Oh. I tried my best, but it wasn’t easy to get a straight answer out of him. And at first, he was shocked that I would accuse him of trying to pull a takeover of chancellor-winters.

Lily: Well, was it real shock or fake?

Devon: At first I thought it was fake, and then he swore up and down that he would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship or hurt me or my company.

Lily: Right. Well, I know that he’s saying the right things, but do you actually believe him?

Devon: Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? I have no clue. I would feel dumb if I did, just because this is exactly the kind of thing that tucker would do. And he has a long history of going after companies and taking them over. So, who’s to say? I really don’t know who to trust these days after watching nate do something that unforgivable to his own damn family. I’ll tell you that.

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: Nate, come in.

Nate: Thank you for meeting me.

[ Door closes ]

Victoria: The message that you left me yesterday has me a little concerned. I assume that the development that’s not good that you mentioned has to do with our takeover plans for chancellor-winters.

Nate: That’s right.

Victoria: Alright, well, why don’t you give me the details and we can adjust our strategy accordingly. I’m sure that there’s, um — there’s no setback that we can’t possibly handle.

Nate: I’m afraid this is more than just a setback. The plan’s been exposed.

Victoria: Well, how in the world did that happen? Elena’s the only one that knew what we were up to, but she wouldn’t possibly betray you like that.

Nate: No. It wasn’t elena. The person guilty of betrayal here is me.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Victoria: You exposed our plan?

[ Scoffs ] Why on earth would you do that?

Nate: We were just about to file the final paperwork for the launch. Everything was coming together smoothly. I had truly convinced myself that this was the right move to make for all parties involved — the opportunity we were creating for everyone to benefit from. Lily and devon were too cautious to take the company to the next level, but not me. And then elena walked into the office.

Victoria: Why?

Nate: To tell me goodbye for good.

Victoria: I’m so sorry to hear that. I fear that I may have played a part in her decision.

Nate: What do you mean?

Victoria: I ran into her after our meeting. I tried to smooth things out with her — for you.

Nate: And what did you say to her?

Victoria: I simply implied that you were making a very wise business decision.

Nate: I can imagine how that went over.

Victoria: Didn’t go very well, and she accused me of being the only one that would get anything out of this deal and said that I didn’t care how it was affecting your relationship with your family.

[ Sighs ] I’m afraid that I made things worse.

Nate: No. No. I can’t blame you. Elena already made her position quite clear.

Victoria: I just…

Nate: When, um, things came to a head at the office and she walked out on me, I realized i had to reevaluate everything.

Victoria: I wish you would have figured this out sooner, like when I gave you the chance to back out. I even asked you if this was gonna be worth all the problems it was causing in your relationship.

Nate: At the time, I thought I could handle it, make it work.

[ Chuckles ] But I was — I was fooling myself. After I confessed, I came home to elena and told her I came clean for us. But it was more than that. On some level, I knew I had to do it because deep down inside, I knew she was right. Not only could I not risk losing her, but I had to admit that I didn’t want to lose my family. Now here I am, having lost them all.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, what are you still doing here, nick? I hope you didn’t get us locked on this roof because there’s not enough food or champagne if we get stranded here.

Nick: Don’t tempt me. I just might lock you up here all alone, unless you’re straight with me.

Adam: Look, may I suggest that we have this intense conversation another time? Because I am really not in the mood.

Nick: Well, you better get in the mood, adam. I’m not leaving here unless i get some answers. What is the matter with you? Why would you lure sally up here under false pretenses?

Adam: Well, based on your question, I gather that while i was up here waiting for the sun to come up, sally ran to you to spill her version of the story.

Nick: Yeah. I talked to her.

Adam: Oh, good. Should I even bother getting up? If I do, are you just gonna knock me back down?

Nick: I did not come up here to fight with you. But I want to make sure we’re clear about something. We are not going to put sally in the middle of yet another brother-against-brother feud.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]

Sally: Sorry, summer, i actually am quite busy here.

Summer: Really? You didn’t seem busy. It seemed like you were kind of drifting off the first two times I knocked.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Well, I am the ceo, and I have a lot on my shoulders, so often i contemplate what my next strategic move is gonna be, which is probably why I didn’t hear you knock. Sure, yeah, I can spare you a brief moment.

Summer: Yeah, I know you must be swamped trying to make a good impression here.

Sally: Exactly what brings you by you? You in the building visiting family, or do I owe this special visit just to see me?

Summer: No, it’s actually your lucky day ’cause I am here to speak directly to you.

Sally: Really? Well, why is that? Did you finally decide to take me up on my offer to promote your fashion house?

Summer: [ Chuckles ] No. Marchetti is doing amazing. Thank you. And judging by the way you do business, I don’t really want you anywhere near mine. This is about something else.

Sally: Hmm. I wonder what that could possibly be.

Summer: I want to know what’s going on between you and my dad, why you’re spending time together outside of the office.

Sally: You know, I don’t take all my meetings here. I mean, you know, people often do business over lunch.

Summer: This seems like a little more than a lunch meeting or two.

Sally: There’s nothing happening.

Summer: I saw you, sally, with my dad yesterday at crimson lights, and you definitely weren’t talking media outlets or having a meal. You were in each other’s arms. So just cut the crap and tell me what’s actually going on. And don’t even try to act like it’s innocent because it looked like anything but. Ladies…

Sally: I think you’re reading far too much into a simple hug. Nick and I are just friends. I don’t know about you and your friends, but mine offer me a supportive embrace and a little pat on the back every once in a while.

Summer: Really? You have friends?

Sally: Believe it or not, yeah, I do.

Summer: I’m gonna have to put that in the “not” folder. Just because we’ve stayed out of each other’s way lately doesn’t mean I trust you.

Sally: Well, rest assured, the feeling’s mutual.

Summer: Don’t think that I’ve forgotten the number you pulled trying to take over my old job at fenmore’S. So, yeah, the idea of you possibly dating my dad is beyond disturbing.

Sally: Okay, look, whatever happened back then is old news. I am not that same person anymore.

Summer: One more thing I find unbelievable.

Sally: Tell me, summer — why did you feel the need to talk to me about this? Why don’t you just go directly to your father?

Summer: Because I wanted to see what all of this was about first. I know how you like to operate, sally. So, just tell me. Are you using my dad to make adam jealous, or is this a power move of yours because my dad is now in at newman media and adam is out?

Sally: So, what is it that you’re trying to say, that it’s absolutely impossible for me to just enjoy nick’s company and he mine? Clearly, in your mind, there’s no innocent possible reason why we could be hanging out. It all has to be low and conniving.

Summer: You said it.

Nick: Hey. Did you hear me?

Adam: Of course I did. I mean, when nick newman makes one of his heroic declarations, everyone listens. Except this one fell a little flat because sally isn’t in the middle of anything, nick, since I can’t compete with my great and noble big brother.

Nick: Come on, man.

Adam: No. I mean, really. Please proceed on your chivalrous crusade and keep playing the role of the protector to the hilt.

Nick: I heard about this little stunt last night while sally was still here. Did you see me rush over here to come to her rescue?

Adam: Why is that? Was your, uh, cape at the dry cleaner?

Nick: I just figured you two needed some time to work out some things, so I gave you some space. But I need to know going forward, do I need to protect her from you?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Please relax. I’m not a glutton for punishment. And I can take a hint. Alright? Sally has made her choice, and I’m not gonna beg. I know I can’t force her to forgive me.

Nick: Well, I’m glad you finally realized that.

Adam: So you and sally are free to do whatever the hell you want together. And I guess I’m destined to lose everything I want and I care about to one sibling or the other. It’s called “the curse of the black sheep.”

Lily: Look, I feel the same way, okay? What nate has done is incredibly hurtful.

Devon: What happened yesterday after I left? Did he still just try and blame everything on me?

Lily: Honestly, I don’t even remember anything that he said, really. I mean, I just — I’ve been in complete shock. I can’t even believe that he would do this to us. Billy is furious.

Devon: He’s not the only one.

Lily: And I keep trying to concentrate on work, but all i can think is, how could he do this, I mean, to his own family? He was so a willing to put us in a vulnerable position to where we could lose control of this place.

Devon: Oh, I know. Believe me. And I understand why it’s hard for you to focus on work, but I’ll tell you that that’s exactly what we all need to do. We need to clear our minds and figure out how to move forward strategically.

Lily: No, I know, and we were all systems go when it came to the ipo.

Devon: Right, and so was this other person that nate was working with. And assuming that tucker’s telling the truth, did he give any hints about who it is?

Lily: No. After everything, he didn’t tell me anything. So we’re facing an unknown attacker.

Devon: Well, that’s — that’s great. So, the smart thing for us to do, then, is to pull the plug on this ipo deal.

Lily: Well, look, we can’t make that call, okay? Not right now, anyway.

Victoria: I’m just so sorry that your decision to form an alliance with me has — has cost you so much.

Nate: Yeah. I’m sorry, too. For so many things, I mean, including letting you down. I know you were already making financial moves to free up the necessary capital to buy chancellor-winters’ shares.

Victoria: Well, yes, it did take a little maneuvering, but it’s nothing that can’t be undone. Right now, I’m just wondering when a furious devon and lily are gonna come banging down my door. I’m sure they’re not very happy with me.

Nate: You don’t have to worry about that. I never revealed your identity. I only told them that I was meeting with another ceo. And tucker mccall’s well-timed splashy entrance puts the spotlight on him as the likely culprit. And I refused to confirm or deny.

Victoria: I appreciate your personal loyalty. But the fact that you didn’t expose me makes me realize something.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: All is not lost. We could still pull off this takeover. I’m not sure I’m ready to give up on the idea of controlling chancellor-winters.

Nate: But their guard is up now, and they’re gonna be extremely cautious.

Victoria: Yes, but lily and devon see tucker as the only threat left. They don’t think I’m involved at all. And they think that you’ve given up. So you could still sell me your shares. You told me that you feel like you’ve already lost everything. So, what do you have to lose? This is gloria.

Nick: I don’t believe in curses. I believe we make our own destiny.

Adam: Yeah, of course you do, nick, because 9 times out of 10, you get what you want with minimal effort.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, you’re still in love with sally. I get it. And I know you don’t take those emotions lightly. But do you mean it when you say you’re going to accept this? Or are you going to do what you always do, and that is blame everyone else and punish everyone else for the situation, a situation that you created in the first place when you pushed sally away?

Adam: Don’t worry, nick, okay? I’m not gonna ruin any lives before I’ve had my morning coffee. And I’ll probably restrain myself after that. So, rest assured, you can run back to sally and tell her that you saved the day yet again. Meanwhile, I have a job to go to. Unless you’re going to take that away from me, too.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Summer: Look, I didn’t come here to throw around insults. The point is that my dad deserves better — much better.

Sally: Do you not see that what you just said is the exact definition of an insult?

Summer: Take it however you want. You just need to understand that my dad has had enough romantic drama to last a few lifetimes.

Sally: Yeah, thanks to your mom.

Summer: He deserves something clean and easy and honest. He has a big protective heart, and he’s got this overwhelming desire to save broken people. But you, sally, you’re not just broken. You’re a train wreck. And the last thing he needs is to be pulled into your disaster of a life.

Sally: Well, thank you, summer, for your sage advice. I definitely will take that into consideration. But just for the record, what i think he deserves is more credit from his daughter. Why don’t you just let him make his own decisions, like he lets you make yours?

Nate: I hear your argument about not giving up on our plan. Yes, it’s over between me and elena. And unfortunately, lily and devon may never forgive me. But the plan isn’t even possible anymore.

Victoria: Why not?

Nate: I had no previously agreed-upon contract for the shares. Neil willed me a seat on the board of hamilton-winters, but that never legally translated into an ownership stake, even after the merger.

Victoria: But when they do go public…

Nate: If they do go public, and I’m sure that’s all up in the air now. And they will never give me any shares. Even if I had stock, what elena said really hit me. She was right about the person i was turning into. And I need to decide what kind of man I want to be. And I have.

Victoria: Nate, listen, what we were planning — it didn’t make you a terrible person.

Nate: Maybe not, but what i was doing to my family was ultimately hurting them. And I never want to do that again because the man I want to be wouldn’t sell my shares to you or anyone. After neil passed away, he left me a seat on the board of his family’s company because he trusted me. How could I have forgotten that? The whole point of the merger was for all of us to come together. If I act now, I may have a chance to get my family back, and I need to focus on that.

Victoria: I can’t be upset at you for being true to your family. It’s something that my father instilled in me since I was very young. I want you to be successful.

Nate: Thank you for understanding.

Victoria: And I know that you were able to keep my name out of it, even under what i assume was extreme pressure from lily and devon. And then you came to me with the news right away, and that means a lot to me.

Nate: It was the right thing to do.

Victoria: I think I have a way to reward that loyalty. I assume that you’re not employed at chancellor-winters anymore.

Nate: I was fired. No surprise there.

Victoria: Well, I would like to make sure that you don’t stay unemployed for long. I’m gonna find you a suitable position here. Chancellor-winters’ loss is newman’s gain.

Kyle: Just checking to see if the plane is ready to take off. Did you stock the galley with chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne like I requested? Thanks. Good. Want the honeymoon to start off right. You look like hell.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, I guess that’s why you’re in the fashion division and I am not.

Kyle: What’s your problem, adam?

Adam: Hmm? Um, I wasn’t aware that I had one.

Kyle: Well, lately, you rarely even show up to work, and today you show up late and clearly in no condition to do any legitimate work. I told my father that you’d be nothing but a liability to this company, and every day you prove me more and more right.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ] Want to wake up to smoother, brighter skin day 1?

“The young and the restless”

will continue. There’s nothing like hitting the waves.

Devon: Well, hang on now. Why are you against shutting down the ipo deal? ‘Cause if we go public, it’s gonna make us vulnerable again to another attack like the one we just avoided with nate.

Lily: Because it’s not up to me. Going public was jill’s idea. We have to check in with her and see where she stands.

Devon: She’s gonna be pissed that this even happened. That’s where she’s gonna stand. And I highly doubt she’s gonna want to open ourselves back up to it happening all over again, right?

Lily: Okay, look, I don’t know what she’s gonna do, okay? But we have to take it into consideration because she’s co-owner.

Devon: No, that’s fine. We can consider it all day and night, but at the end of the day, I’m not gonna do it. I’m not. Half of this company is called winters, as in what I created with our father. So it’s just as much mine as it is hers. And I’m not gonna let anybody have a shot at screwing up what we built again. So, if jill wants to insist on going public, tell her to talk to me.

Nick: Hello, supergirl.

Summer: Hey, dad. Thanks for meeting me on such short notice. Look, there’s something that i want to discuss with you, and i want you to be completely honest with me.

Nick: Alright. Hit me.

Summer: Please tell me that you’re not getting involved with sally spectra.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m assuming you heard that from your brother.

Summer: [ Sighs ] That’s not the answer that i was hoping for. Dad, I’m only asking you about this because I’m worried about you. You must realize how dangerous she can be, how this could end in disaster, the way that you and mom repeatedly did.

Nick: I don’t think either one of those women want to be lumped together.

Summer: No, you’re right. Mom is nothing like that viper. It’s the situations that are comparable — you getting involved with a woman who’s not completely over her ex. Adam and sally. Mom and jack. I just… I don’t want to see you go through that again.

Nick: Summer, I understand what you’re getting at, but right now sally and I are just close friends.

Summer: You really mean that? There’s nothing more complicated or emotionally risky going on?

Nick: It’s nothing for you to worry about, okay? And, honestly, if there was something going on with me and sally, I can take care of myself.

Sally: Connor. Hi. You here alone?

Connor: Mom dropped me off to meet my dad, who’s late. But I’m fine. I’m not a kid, you know.

Sally: You’ve always struck me as very mature.

Connor: You here to take me to dad? Because that’d be cool if you were.

Sally: Uh, no, actually, that’s not why I’m here.

Connor: Oh. So, you and my dad aren’t back together again?

Adam: That’s funny, kyle. But why are you criticizing me? Don’t you have an important meeting about evening gowns to get to?

Kyle: Just go home. Get some sleep before anyone else notices your raggedy appearance and lack of professionalism.

Adam: Well, thank you for the advice, but why would I be worried about people noticing how I look when I’m sure you will waste no time spreading the word about that? And be sure to tell your father that I can’t handle a job that you totally bailed on. Nobody would ever think you are bitter about that.

Kyle: You just can’t take the loss, can you? You could admit that you screwed up and deal with the fallout, but, no, that would be too easy. You just have to keep digging that hole deeper.

Adam: You see, I would explain, but you wouldn’t understand it, kyle. It would go right over your head. See, men like you will never understand men like me.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I hope I never will. But I’m done wasting my time with you because as of this moment, I am on vacation. So you can keep digging that hole until you bury yourself in it. I’m not gonna stop you. There’s nothing like volunteering

Nick: Why are you even worried about this, summer? I mean, shouldn’t you be off packing, like, 16 pieces of luggage for your honeymoon?

Summer: Ha, ha. Very funny, dad. And I’ll have you know I have already packed — very lightly, at that.

Nick: Look at you, going light. Is that, like, 15 pieces then?

Summer: I mean, I’m not gonna need much more than some swimsuits and sunscreen where we’re going. This trip to costa rica — it’s gonna be amazing, all thanks to my wonderful husband. And to top it off, harrison is gonna come meet us for the last few days.

Nick: Well, it sounds like a perfect honeymoon.

Summer: Yeah. What more could a girl want? Although, I have to admit, I’m a little bit nervous about leaving marchetti.

Nick: I think they can manage without you for a week.

Summer: Yeah, maybe the company can, but what about mom and diane working together, having their kids so far away that we couldn’t do anything if they did try to pull something?

Nick: Look, just try and let it go, okay? You and kyle deserve this amazing trip. Promise me you’re not gonna let anything interfere with that.

Kyle: I promise for both of us.

Nick: There he is.

Well, glad you came. I got to go. I love you. You two have a great trip.

Summer: Hey, dad? I let you change the subject this time, but the conversation’s not over.

Nick: I can’t even hear you.

Kyle: I have a feeling I know what that conversation was about — sally, right? After the earful you gave me last night about seeing sally and your father together, I’m sure you had plenty to say to him now.

Summer: Yeah. I asked my dad what was going on, and I also confronted sally about it.

Kyle: Well, how did that go?

Summer: They both claim to be just friends, but it left me thinking that there’s certain benefits involved. I — [ Shudders ] I didn’t dare ask for clarification.

Kyle: Yeah, I get it. Too upsetting to even imagine.

Summer: Yeah.

Kyle: I had an equally frustrating run-in with my replacement this morning. Adam showed up late to jabot, looking hungover.

Summer: You’re kidding me. What — what is he thinking?

Kyle: Nope.

Summer: No.

Kyle: No more.

Summer: We are not talking about sally and adam.

Kyle: Or our mothers or even the issue with the textile company that is pushing back our resort collection.

Summer: No, we’re not gonna let anything wreck this vacation.

Kyle: Mnh-mnh.

Summer: From this moment forward, we are on honeymoon time.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I didn’t realize that you knew that your dad and i were dating. I guess kids know a lot more than adults give them credit for, huh?

Connor: Again, I’m not a kid, okay?

Sally: Right. Sorry.

Connor: My dad was always in a good mood after he was with you.

Sally: That’s very grown-up of you to notice. And very sweet of you to say.

Connor: I mean it. He would smile and laugh a lot. I could tell he was happy for a change. Now my dad’s back to not smiling so much.

Sally: I’m really sorry to hear that. But maybe part of the reason he’s so serious is because of his new, important job.

Connor: No. That’s not it. It’s because dad misses you.

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Oh, good. You’re here. I need to talk to you.

Nick: Well, I can tell by that expression on your face something’s gone sideways.

Victoria: I’m sure that you’ll be pleased to hear that the chancellor-winters takeover deal seems to have imploded.

Nick: Didn’t want to do it in the first place. I thought it was gonna end up in a disaster, and it would have destroyed our relationship with devon and lily. I am curious about what happened, though.

Victoria: Nate had a major change of heart.

Nick: Well, I’m glad he saw the light, that family is far more important than climbing a corporate ladder.

Victoria: Actually, I think that his second thoughts had more to do with his relationship with elena.

Nick: Can’t fault him for that.

Victoria: I suppose not, but even though he sacrificed the deal for her, she still might leave him.

Nick: And I’m sure you blame him for your deal falling apart?

Victoria: No, not at all. I feel bad for him. Look, I know you think that I’m overly ruthless right now, but i would never let my ambitions get in the way of my friendships.

Nick: I’m glad to hear that.

Victoria: So, now that newman no longer has this major deal on the table, I am going to refine things closer to home.

Nick: Alright. Where do you want to start?

Victoria: Newman media. I want to replace sally with nate.

Nick: I cannot believe after everything that happened with your bid to acquire chancellor-winters that you would turn around and offer nate sally’s job.

Victoria: I haven’t offered it to him yet. But I did tell him that I wanted to find a place for him here at newman.

Nick: As, what, a consolation prize? This can’t be a knee-jerk response just because chancellor-winters slipped through your grasp.

Victoria: That is not what this is. Look, I know, for whatever reason, you’ve been in sally’s corner, but I’ve always thought we could get a much stronger person in the position.

Nick: Just hear me out. Nate may have changed his mind, but he was ready and willing to turn his back on his family and his company. He has proven that his loyalties are flexible at best. And now you want to bring him into our company and fire sally without due cause?

Victoria: And nate showed his loyalties to me when he came to me immediately to tell me that he was confessing to devon and lily that he was planning on selling his shares. He never mentioned to them that I was the ceo that he was plotting with. And, to me, that counts for a lot, nicholas.

Nick: So, is that what this job is — a bribe to make sure he keeps his mouth shut?

Victoria: No! No. I trust nate. And the way that he handled the situation showed me that he’d do a great job of running newman media.

Nick: If all that you told him was that he could have a position at newman, let’s find something else for him, preferably an open position so we don’t have have to fire anyone.

Victoria: This is the job that I want him to have. I told you from the very beginning that sally was not right to run newman media. My initial instinct was to fire her.

Nick: But then you realized you were wrong.

Victoria: No. I was swayed by her passion and her enthusiasm, which was a huge mistake. She never had the background for this job.

Nick: So, you’re saying an M.D. Has the appropriate qualification to run a media company?

Victoria: I appreciate that nate has been highly educated. And, yes, a ceo should be a graduate of more than just the school of hard knocks.

Nick: Look at our father. He was completely self-made. That never stopped him.

Victoria: Oh, my god, you cannot be seriously comparing sally to dad, can you?

Nick: Look, I am willing to talk about this later when we give it more time and thought, but I do not like this move, not now and not like this.

Victoria: Fine. We’ll table the discussion for now. But I want this to happen. Nate is a good man. He would be a great asset to have on board at newman media. You need to understand that, nicholas.

Nick: I do. But for now, we agree to do nothing.

Sally: So, how’s school going?

Connor: Okay.

Sally: Did you make any new friends?

Connor: Yeah, sure.

Sally: And what about hockey? Are you playing much?

Connor: Our season hasn’t started yet, but we’re practicing.

Sally: Yeah. I bet that’s keeping you busy.

Connor: Yeah.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] What about your mom? She busy, too? Was she in a rush whenever she dropped you off here by yourself?

Connor: No. I told her I saw dad in here so she wouldn’t worry and would just take off.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: Why would you do that?

Connor: I just wanted to get out of the car.

Sally: Well, you know, parents and kids get in arguments, right? It’s just temporary. They always make up.

Connor: This is different. Mom thinks were fine, but we’re not, not anymore.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Devon: So, now it’s just the two of us. I’m gonna need you to help me understand what the hell is wrong with you and why you’d want to screw us over the way you did.

Nate: Mm. What’s the point in trying to explain things now? It’s over. I’m out of the company.

Devon: I’ll tell you exactly what the point is. This is your opportunity to finally explain everything to me and come clean. And since there’s no job on the table, there’s no reason for either of us to hold anything back, right?

Jack: Have a seat.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] That’s a nice surprise, an opportunity to sit down with jack abbott. How could I say no?

Jack: A dream for me, too.

Tucker: Actually, it’s kind of nice to have a one-on-one chat with you.

Jack: Well, I’m less than thrilled, but it’s a necessary evil.

Tucker: Yeah. And I appreciate your candor, as always. I know you’re not thrilled about my coming back to town and trying to reconnect with ashley.

Jack: No, but I am pleased with your lack of progress in that regard.

Tucker: So you must have enjoyed her storming out just now.

Jack: Well, I would have preferred she throw a drink in your face, but storming out we’ll have to settle for.

Tucker: Yeah, I know you’re protective of her, and i appreciate that. I admire it, actually. It’s exactly how I would feel in your situation. But my wanting to make amends with her is genuine ’cause, jack, my relationship with her is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Jack: Good luck with that.

Tucker: Alright, what would it take to convince you that I’m sincere?

Jack: Don’t even bother. I don’t know why you would want to convince me of anything anyway. This is between you and ashley. She’s made her feelings very clear. You need to respect that.

Tucker: You know what? You’re right. This is between me and her, no one else. But I hope you will keep an open mind in case she changes her mind about things.

[ Sighing ] Okay.> Is that all you wanted to talk about?

Jack: No. I’m just getting started.

Sharon: Hey!

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Stranger. Hey, did you see those photos that faith posted last week from the michigan football game?

Nick: I did. It sure looks like she’s having fun. It really looks like she’s settled into the college lifestyle.

Sharon: I know. I’m so happy for her. So, what can I get you tonight?

Nick: Uh, just some tea.

Sharon: You got it. Is everything okay?

Nick: Uh, I don’t know if you’ve heard this or not. I’ve been seeing someone new.

Sharon: I hadn’T.

Nick: Yeah. Uh, with our history and, uh, everything you’ve gone through with rey, I wasn’t sure when to bring it up.

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t have to be awkward, nick. You know, I haven’t been ready to get back out there yet, but I’m glad that you’re feeling social again.

Nick: Yeah. It’s nothing serious. We’re just kind of taking it moment by moment.

Sharon: So, it’s still in the early, fun stage?

Nick: Yeah. It is fun. Usually.

Sharon: But the look on your face tells me it’s not especially fun, not tonight.

Nick: That would be right.

Sharon: You want to talk about it?

Nick: You should know who it is first. It’s sally spectra.

Adam: I can’t admit what you asked of me because you are wrong. Tonight has been all about you. There’s nothing about this night that has been less than sincere, sally. I mean, all that I ever wanted to do is see you succeed and achieve your dreams, even if i went about that in completely the wrong way.

Sally: Yeah, you drew me in for a little while, but all of this was completely the wrong way.

Adam: I see that now. I do. But I believe that you know everything that I said tonight about how much I still love you is true.

Sally: Adam —

Adam: Okay? But you are scared of the connection that you still feel for me because I screwed things up so badly. So you’re pushing me away. I get it. I would probably do the same thing. This is very real for me, okay? I’M… I’m putting my heart in your hands. And that is scary as hell.

[ Sighs ] But there’s nothing that i wouldn’t do for you. There’s no risk that I wouldn’t take to prove myself to you. Please, sally.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: We can get past this.

Sally: I don’t think we can.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sally: So all I want from you right now… is to unlock that door so I can leave.

[ Sniffles ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: Sure, whatever you want to talk about. Here I am. I’m an open book, as always. I’m sure you got questions. Fire away.

Jack: Excellent. Here’s what I want to know. Why now?

Tucker: Why now what?

Jack: Why did you choose this particular time to show up in town?

Tucker: Yes, everyone’s so curious about my timing. Okay, so, what in particular are you wondering about?

Jack: Diane.

Tucker: What about diane?

Jack: Is it mere coincidence that soon after she resurfaced, you showed up in town?

Tucker: Oh, god, this again. I was hoping you of all people would have something a little more original up your sleeve.

Jack: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you. Actually, I had no real interest in any of it, but something came to my attention that made me, well, want to ponder your timing more carefully.

Tucker: Oh, good. A new twist. I can’t wait to hear it.

Jack: There is a rumor —

Tucker: [ Scoffs ] A rumor, jack? Really? That’s where you’re going with this — gossip?

Jack: There is a rumor out there that you not only knew that diane was alive and in los angeles, but that you were in touch with her.

Sharon: Uh… well, I guess, um, I should be shocked, but when you mentioned sally’s name, something clicked with me. It just fell into place. Um, I had a conversation with sally here a while back. It was a deep conversation.

Nick: About adam?

Sharon: Well, yeah, it started out that way, but we covered a lot of ground, and i had told her, you know, whenever my life feels uncertain that i have a lot of people in my life I can count on. And she said, “like nick?” And [Chuckles] When she immediately said that, I was surprised, but I just filed it away for later, but now I can see that there was something forming way back then. And, you know, you hadn’t worked at newman for very long at that point, but she definitely spotted you.

Nick: Well, I guess I spotted her, too.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Well, you know, she’s very noticeable.

Nick: She is. Um, I wasn’t planning on this happening. You know, we were just working together. Really like her attitude. I think she’s talented. We became friendly, and then it, uh — I don’t know — it just turned into something else.

Sharon: Well, I, of course, can understand why any woman would be drawn to you, nick.

[ Both laugh ] And sally — you know, she, uh — she’s an interesting person, you know? She’s — she’s smart and spirited, and those are qualities that, um, any man would like.

Nick: What are you not saying?

Sharon: What do you mean?

Nick: Well, I can tell, you know, with the sound of your voice that you’re holding something back.

Sharon: Okay. I can’t help wondering how much of this new relationship is really about sally and how much of it is actually about adam.

Adam: I definitely shouldn’t have brought up nick. That was a mistake. I’m sorry that that upset you. But if I hadn’t brought up the subject, it wouldn’t have been honest. I had to mention that you’re seeing my brother.

Sally: Yeah, but that’s not exactly what you said. You accused me of using him in some desperate attempt to get over you.

Adam: Those were not my words.

Sally: Maybe not exactly, but it was right there between the lines. What would have been more accurate is to admit that this whole scheme of yours tonight was because you can’t stand the fact that I’m with nick, even if you can’t bring yourself to say it out loud.

Adam: Of course I can’t stand it. It kills me to think about you with somebody else. That’s what happens when you love someone, sally.

Sally: But it’s more than that. It kills you because he’s your brother.

Adam: No. Okay? You could be with anybody, and I would hate it.

Sally: Okay, but would you have gone to all this trouble if it wasn’t nick? No. Because it is all about the competition for you. You have to beat someone for something to matter to you. That’s the only way anything has value to you — someone else has to want it, and you have to win.

Adam: No. You have value to me. You are important to me. I don’t care about anything else.

Sally: Just stop. Okay? I-I — [ Sighs ] I can’t do this. I-I’ve heard more than enough tonight. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Nick: I understand where you’re coming from, but this relationship is not like that. It’s got nothing to do with adam.

Sharon: Are you sure?

Nick: I’m absolutely sure.

Sharon: Because there is a pattern here, nick. You and adam tend to pursue the same women — chelsea, me, and now sally.

Nick: Well, obviously, we have excellent taste.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Nick: I promise you, it’s got nothing to do with him or any rivalry with adam. If anything, I am attracted to her in spite of her being adam’s ex. I didn’t want the headache of that entanglement. But it happened.

Sharon: And now it’s getting complicated.

Nick: Boy, is it ever. Adam regrets letting her go. And I’m trying to give her as much space and time that she needs to work things through with him.

Sharon: And let me guess. You want to protect her because adam tends to bring chaos to the women in his life and you don’t want to see anybody in pain.

Nick: Sally’s no damsel in distress. I, uh, want to support her any way that she needs, but she doesn’t need rescuing. She’s — she’s tough.

Sharon: If that’s really true, then I would say you’re more invested in this relationship than you’re admitting even to yourself.

Nick: Hmm.

Sharon: Boy, now I know why you looked so worried when you came in.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Don’t worry about me. No matter what happens, I’ll be fine.

Sharon: I know you will be.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Look, I really don’t want you to leave.

Sally: Look, I can’t do this.

Adam: Sally —

Sally: It hurts too much, adam. You need to stay away from now on. It’s best for both of us.

Adam: Sally, don’t go. Sally!

Tucker: Well, I know how it looks when I show up in town just a few months after diane. It’s bound to raise some eyebrows, and then people concoct all sorts of theories. That’s normal.

Jack: Forgive me. Maybe I missed it. I didn’t hear a “yes” or a “no” in there anywhere. Did you or did you not connect with diane in los angeles?

Tucker: Well, why are you pursuing this in the first place? This is so beneath you, jack. A man of your intellect and station. And do you have any evidence to substantiate this story of yours?

Jack: Aside from the obvious coincidences? No. There’s no evidence. It’s just conjecture. But it still doesn’t change the fact that you haven’t given me an answer.

Tucker: Well, let me ask you something. Why would I want anything to do with a woman who I absolutely detested when she allegedly died, who made me a murder suspect? Why would I want any contact with a woman like that?

Jack: Why, indeed? Yeah. I mean, there’s no love lost between you.

Tucker: Mm.

Jack: But maybe the more revealing question is, why are you still dancing around the subject?

Tucker: ‘Cause I just find the whole thing pointless. I could deny it all day and all night. You’re gonna believe whatever the hell you want to believe. I know the human mind works.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Diane: Hello, jack. Tucker.

Tucker: There she is, in the flesh.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] The two of you dining together? I — I can’t imagine how you agreed to this.

Jack: Actually, we were just talking about you.

Diane: Me?

Jack: Yeah. Here. Have a seat. Join us.

One role of a lifetime…

one sore throat.

Jack: I was just sharing with tucker that there’s a rumor out there that the two of you crossed paths in los angeles.

Diane: Gossip, jack? Really?

Tucker: Exactly what I said.

Jack: Well, it’s just speculation at this point, but tucker hasn’t denied it, so I am most interested in what you think about the whole thing.

Diane: Are you serious?

Tucker: Oh, he’s dead serious.

Diane: How can you even ask me that?

Jack: I’m just trying to get some answers, if only to put the whole matter to bed.

Diane: You know, I am so tired of some people constantly trying to dig up dirt on me. They’re trying to undermine me as a way to get me out of town. But you?

Jack: I meant no harm. I’m just trying to find the truth.

Diane: And you think that tucker showing up in genoa city out of the blue means that we’re connected somehow?

Jack: No, I didn’t say that. I asked what your thoughts were.

Diane: Well, you know how surprised I was to see him and how furious I was that he interrupted kyle and summer’s big day.

Jack: Yeah, you seemed genuinely upset.

Diane: And I told you then that I had a lot of questions about why he was back.

Jack: Yeah, you did. And you still haven’t denied it, either…

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: …Just like tucker.

Tucker: Are you two not on friendly terms? ‘Cause I’m sensing tension here.

Jack: No, there’s no tension.

Tucker: Well, that’s good ’cause you’re working together, right? You’ve bonded over your son and your grandson —

Diane: Just stop. Jack, I am telling you that until that man dropped out of a helicopter into your backyard, i had not seen him since the night of my death. And that is the truth. And I — I hope that my word is good enough for you.

Jack: I guess it’ll have to be.

Jack: Well, I better get home.

Diane: Will I see you tomorrow?

Jack: Tomorrow. Yeah. Good night.

Diane: Night.

Tucker: Night.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Thud ]

Chloe: Hallelujah! You’re here!

Sally: What’s going on?

Chloe: Well, you know, nick came looking for you after you left, and that seemed odd because you were supposed to be meeting him. So he and I — well, mostly me — put together that the dinner invitation must have come from adam.

Sally: Yep. He tricked me. I thought I was showing up for a romantic night with nick, and adam was there.

Chloe: Well, I was freaking out. You know, I’ve been down this path with adam and his little schemes, and I was worried about you. But nick was a rock. He said that whatever his brother was up to, that he knew that you could handle it. And he also thought that maybe it would be good for you and adam to talk things through. Did you read him the riot act for tricking you like that?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I did…at first. And then I realized that adam and I still had some things to sort through. It wasn’t completely adversarial.

Chloe: What was it then?

Sally: It was a real conversation. You know, we reminisced, and adam was thoughtful and attentive. It was good.

Chloe: Oh, crap.

Adam: [ Exhales heavily ] I tried everything to remove fabric odors, and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide.

will continue.

Sally: When did nick leave?

Chloe: Just a while ago.

Sally: What kind of mood was he in?

Chloe: A little thrown. I mean, how could he not be after finding out that you were with adam?

Sally: I just feel bad that i wasn’t here whenever he showed up.

Chloe: It’s not your fault.

Sally: I know, but I feel like I owe him an apology.

Chloe: I’m sure he would appreciate that.

Sally: Thank you very much for being concerned about me. It really means a lot.

Chloe: Anytime.

Sally: Alright, I am gonna head home. I will see you tomorrow.

Chloe: Okay. See you then.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Jack: Hey. Reading anything good?

Traci: Hey. Yeah. This is one of my friend’s novels. It’s not published yet, and she is hoping for a promotional blurb.

Jack: How is it?

Traci: Well, it’s good enough for a promotional blurb.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: Ashley home yet?

Traci: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Um, the door to her bedroom was closed when I got here earlier. I think she’s turned in for the night.

Jack: Yeah, makes sense to me. She’s had a pretty long day.

Traci: Yeah, traveling takes it out of me, too.

[ Sighs ] Jack, I’m a little worried about ashley.

Jack: Why?

Traci: We were talking about tucker earlier. Uh, she claims that she is immune to his charms, but I’m not exactly sure about that. It was not too long ago she was really, really in love with him.

Jack: I had the same worries about her. I am gonna take ashley at her word. She is adamant she has no interest in rekindling anything with tucker. Besides, she seems a lot more focused on trying to get to the truth about whether diane and tucker met up in L.A.

Traci: Yes. You know, she she mentioned that to me, too. I was completely stunned. Where does a theory like that come from?

Jack: Well, for starters, most of the speculation circles around the extravagant gift that tucker gave to kyle and summer.

Traci: The bentley. What does a bentley have to do with diane?

Jack: You know what? I think I’m gonna make us a couple of drinks, and then i will tell you everything that i know.

Tucker: For what it’s worth, I found your declaration to be very convincing.

Diane: I’m in no mood, tucker.

Tucker: You looked jack right in the eye and lied to him about having no contact with me.

[ Inhales sharply ] It was very bold.

Diane: Stop it. Jack matters to me. And I’ve built a life here, and that matters to me.

Tucker: What about me, diane? Are you saying I don’t matter to you?

Diane: What just happened with jack wasn’t funny. And you’re treating everyone’s suspicions like they’re some kind of joke.

Tucker: I just don’t think they’re any real threat.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Not right now, anyway. Although I would like to know where this whole thing started.

Diane: Oh, nikki and phyllis, of course. I have no doubt about it. And nikki was just in L.A., And I’m sure she was trying to dig up some dirt on me. She just loves taunting me about trying to ship me out of town.

Tucker: Yeah, I witnessed some of that yesterday.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: But jack said he had no evidence at all to back up any of his allegation.

Diane: Well, that’s probably true — because if either of those two harpies had one shred of evidence against me, they would have used it as ammunition already. And jack probably wouldn’t have held back, either.

Tucker: Okay. There you go. There’s no need to get so worked up.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Hey. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Okay? We can do this. We can handle all these suspicions. We can answer people’s questions with grace and élan. We just need to keep our cool, baby.

Diane: Tucker, there is no “we” anymore. I am going to put as much distance as I can between you and me.

Tucker: [ Laughing ] Well, that’s not your call, is it?

Diane: Jack told me that ashley is back.

Tucker: Yes, she is.

Diane: Yeah, and she agreed to meet with you.

Tucker: Yeah, she did.

Diane: Well, you told me that I didn’t have to keep tabs on the abbotts once you had the information about ashley’s return. So I believe our agreement has concluded.

Tucker: Oh, my dear diane. I have to respectfully disagree. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Diane: What are you talking about? We had a deal.

Tucker: Well, I think you’re forgetting the terms of the deal. You were supposed to inform me the minute ashley got back from paris. You did not.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: I learned ashley was home from ashley. She contacted me directly. So, how did you uphold your end of the deal?

Diane: I hadn’t even seen jack at that point. How would I have known that ashley was back? What, I’m not — I’m not psychic.

Tucker: That was our arrangement.

Diane: Yeah, well, I would have told you the moment she got back, but she beat me to the punch. I mean, and who would have guessed that ashley would be willing to contact you?

Tucker: If I hire a guy to mow my lawn and before he shows up, a goat wanders on my property and eats all the grass, I don’t pay the guy, do I? The deal is off.

Diane: Oh, my god, that is an entirely different situation.

Tucker: The principles are the same.

Diane: Look, tucker, I did what you asked.

Tucker: No, you didn’T. There is no argument to be made. You are not off the hook until I say you’re off the hook. Do you understand me? You are gonna do exactly what i say. I still need you for things.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: I-I don’t know what else you want me to do.

Tucker: Yeah, well, I’ll be in touch with you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

Traci: Thank you. So, nikki found out that diane was being chauffeured in a bentley all over los angeles.

Jack: Accompanied by a mystery man who nikki assumes was tucker.

Traci: You know, I guess it could be a coincidence. There are plenty of bentleys in the world, and diane could have gotten herself involved with any number of men who could afford to have owned one in los angeles. And she and tucker could have arrived a few months apart here in genoa city without being in cahoots. But that’s really the issue, isn’t it?

Jack: The cahoots part. Yeah, that’s my concern.

Traci: What do you intend to do about it?

Jack: I just left sitting with tucker and diane at society.

Traci: Really? What did they have to say for themselves?

Jack: Well, tucker equivocated. That’s his natural reflex. Diane looked me right in the eye and said they had no connection. I didn’t even mention what i knew about the car.

Traci: Do you think her answer would have been different if you had mentioned it?

Jack: I — I don’t know. I just wanted to see what their reaction might be to the initial allegation that they had met up in L.A.

Traci: Jack, you are so smart. And you didn’t interfere with nikki’s investigation in case she’s on to something.

Jack: Boy, she sure has ashley convinced. And, of course, phyllis is gonna help in any way she can.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. So, diane looked you right in the eye and denied there was any connection. I guess the question is, do you believe her?

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Nick: How was your night?

Sally: Not what I expected. I talked to chloe, and she told me that you two figured out that adam set me up for a romantic dinner on the roof, and i thought I was meeting you.

Nick: Yeah, I know.

Sally: Yeah, I was pretty furious with him.

Nick: I bet. You were gone for quite a while. You must have stuck around.

Sally: Yeah, I decided to hear him out. It was pretty nice up there. It was peaceful. He made a heartfelt pitch for one more chance.

Nick: Mm. Yeah. I thought that’s what he was up to.

Sally: Yeah, he’s much more transparent than he thinks.

Nick: Last time I talked to him, he told me he was still in love with you. I’m assuming he told you the same thing.

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: How’d it make you feel?

Sally: Confused.

Tucker: Hey. What’s so urgent?

Audra: There’s been a big development regarding the chancellor-winters ipo.

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I just talked to devon. He accused me of going after the company.

Audra: Well…

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I know, but for a moment i thought maybe you gave away the secret.

Audra: Really? That’s how little faith you had in me?

Tucker: Oh, it was a fleeting moment.

Audra: I should hope so. You have no reason to doubt my loyalty.

Tucker: I know.

Audra: Too bad devon and lily can’t say the same about their cousin nate.

Tucker: Is nate the one giving away inside information?

Audra: He’s the one.

Tucker: Oh, man. No wonder devon was so emotional earlier. Getting betrayed by someone close to you like that — that is tough.

Audra: He and lily and billy were all blindsided. They couldn’t believe nate sold them out. I observed some tension between devon and nate, but nothing that suggested anything of this magnitude.

Tucker: I almost feel bad for them.

Audra: Don’T. Because nate’s betrayal is gonna have a major impact on your plans.

Adam: What are you doing back here?

Sally: I want clarification.

Adam: Regarding what?

Sally: Do you still love me as much as you say you do?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Yes. More. Okay? These last few years have felt empty. And then I found you. And everything was so right. You filled that void. I felt complete when I was with you. Everything… we fit together perfectly, sally.

Sally: Then why did you end things? Give me the real reason this time.

Adam: I was… I was scared.

Nick: Leave her alone.

Adam: Wait a minute.

Nick: No. You’re dangerous, and you destroy everything you touch. That’s not gonna happen to sally ’cause I won’t let it.

Adam: [ Gasps ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Sally: I have to admit that some of what adam said resonated with me. We had something special, really special, before he blew it up. But, I mean, as much as he says he cares about me, he still used trickery to get me on the roof. Everything with him is deception. How can I ever trust him?

[ Sighs ] And I feel weird talking with you about it ’cause [Sighs]… I can’t get you out of my head.

Nick: It’s getting messy, isn’t it? I think that’s the last thing either one of us wanted. The longer this goes on, I think we realize we should probably just… pull the plug and, uh… go our separate ways… before this gets out of hand.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yeah, you’re — you’re probably right — ’cause this isn’t gonna get any less complicated.

Sally: Yeah, maybe we should just walk away.

Traci: Jack, I’m so sorry about all of this. But, you know, right now it’s all just speculation. It really could be a coincidence. I’m a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty. So maybe you could just go on like you have been, but with your eyes open just a little bit wider. Maybe there’s nothing to nikki and ashley’s suspicions and the situation between you and diane and kyle doesn’t have to change.

Jack: Sound, sage, reasoned advice from my baby sister. I’ve come to expect nothing less from you. Thank you.

Traci: You’re welcome. And if there is something to all of this, eventually it will come out. The truth always does.

Audra: Devon and lily are gonna postpone the ipo while they sort things out.

Tucker: Oh, that’s to be expected, I suppose. We’ll just have to be patient. You’ll keep me apprized, of course.

Audra: Of course. But there’s a larger problem than the delay.

Tucker: Oh, let me guess. Some mysterious ceo who’s as interested in taking over chancellor-winters as I am.

Audra: That’s right. Any thoughts on the identity of the interested party?

Tucker: Mm. Many. But one name keeps coming to the surface — victoria newman.

Audra: That would be a reach, I think.

Tucker: I don’t think so because katherine — when she died, she left the company to victor. So, there’s history there. Victoria would know that and try to honor it.

Audra: In theory, yes, okay? But newman has spent so much capital trying to expand recently. I doubt they have the liquidity for a move like that.

Tucker: Yes, maybe you’re right. Maybe there are other suitors, but none I find as intriguing as victoria. She is a fighter.

[ Chuckles ] She’s a competitor. I wonder if she’s as formidable an opponent as her father.

Audra: Sounds like you’re about to find out.

[ Purse thuds ]

Elena: So, you confessed everything because of me?

Nate: I was trying to do the right thing. I thought it would be a relief to stop keeping this secret. But in all honesty, uh… yeah, I’m just lost. I knew that being the chief of surgery wasn’t the right job for me, so I was excited to move over to chancellor-winters. I had big plans for my future and the future of the company. Then, in one fell swoop, it all came tumbling down after I told everyone what I did. Devon fired me.

Elena: I’m sorry.

Nate: No, it’s okay because I gave it all up for you. Elena, you’re worth it.

Elena: I am sure that you’re gonna figure out your next step. And I have no doubt that everything will work out for you.

Nate: You mean for us.

Elena: Nate, there is no us anymore.

Jack: Oh, hi there. May I join you?

Ashley: I’m meeting tucker.

Jack: Tucker?

Ashley: We’re having dinner.

Jack: How did that happen? More importantly, why?

Ashley: He showed up at jabot and he wouldn’t stop bugging me until I agreed to meet with him. I figured I would just reiterate everything I’ve been telling him all along — there’s no chance for us.

Jack: I wish you didn’t even have to give him the time of day, but I understand your intent. So, where is he?

Ashley: Well, that’s the kicker. I think the bastard stood me up.

Tucker: I was literally walking out the door when you knocked.

Devon: Well, make time for me ’cause I’m gonna ask you one question, and I want a straight, honest answer out of you.

Tucker: Of course.

Devon: Did you come back to genoa city to go after chancellor-winters?

Tucker: Where did you get that idea? And — and how could you believe that I would actually do such a thing? Why would I ever do anything that might negatively affect my own son?

Devon: I don’t know why you would, but I don’t need you to answer my question with more questions. I need you to say yes or no. ‘Cause I just found out there’s another ceo in town who’s been receiving inside information that could benefit them in a takeover. And I want to know, is that person you?

Nick: I didn’t set up a dinner with sally tonight.

Chloe: You didn’t?

Nick: No. Why would you or she think i did?

Chloe: Well, someone invited her, and she’s at the grand phoenix rooftop right now meeting that person.

Chloe: Ohh, you know, I-i don’t know what is happening, but I don’t have a very good feeling about this.

Nick: Let’s — let’s calm down. I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding.

Chloe: Well, I’m not sure how that could be. Because sally gets this fancy invitation delivered by a courier, and who would go to those lengths just to mislead her?

Both: Adam.

Sally: You sent the invitation?

Adam: I, um, debated inviting you directly, but I knew that you wouldn’t come.

Sally: Yeah, you’re right about that.

Adam: And that is totally understandable, okay? I know how you feel, and I just wanted —

Sally: No, no, no. I’m gonna stop you right there. You don’t know how I feel.

Adam: I was just hoping that we could spend a little time together without any interruptions or distractions. I just want to sit down and talk, just the two of us, okay? Have an open and honest discussion.

Sally: Are you serious right now? Look what you did to lure me here. This is so like you. Everything with you is a manipulation. You wouldn’t know honesty if it smacked you in the face.

Adam: Yes, I know that I have done some duplicitous things, but if you will just let me explain, you will know that I am telling you the truth.

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

[ Doorknob rattles ] Open the door, adam.

Adam: Look, I am not forcing you to stay.

Sally: Really? ‘Cause it looks like you are. Open the door, or I am gonna call the cops and tell them that my crazy desperate ex tried to kidnap me.

Adam: I will absolutely unlock the door if that is what you really want.

Sally: I just told you. It is.

Adam: Okay. But I’m asking you not to. I am begging you to stay just long enough to listen, okay? I’m sorry for deceiving you. It was wrong. And you’re right — my first instinct is probably to lead people to what I want instead of just asking.

Sally: Lead people? That is quite the euphemism. You manipulate them.

Adam: Alright. I will admit that. But, sally, look at me, okay? I’m stripping away any swagger or bluster that I may usually put on. I’m swallowing any pride that might get in my way. It’s just you and me here. And I promise you, all I’m asking for is a conversation.

Sally: We could have talked anywhere. Why all the bells and whistles?

Adam: I didn’t want to bear my soul at the coffee house. Just — I wanted us to have some privacy without the threat of interruption from work, or whatever. I-I still have so much to say to you. And I understand if you don’t want to hear it, but I’m hoping that you will give me one last chance to plead my case. Again, obviously, you can go if that’s what you want.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I-I’m not sure what I want.

Nate: Wait, wait, wait. Wh-what do you mean, there’s no more us? I did what I did for us.

Elena: I didn’t ask you to do that. I didn’t ask you to change your plans for us.

Nate: Yes, you did. You said you didn’t want to be with a man who allowed his ambition to drive his decision making. So I proved to you that I cared about more than just power — in a big way that blew up my career. I could have quietly pulled the plug on the ipo thing, but i owned up to everything. Isn’t that what you wanted?

Elena: Nate, I’m glad that you told everyone the truth. And I think in time you will be glad, too. But I didn’t want you to do all of this in a way to save our relationship. I wanted you to do it because it was the right thing to do for yourself. Because, with or without me, betraying your family for a business deal is a mistake.

[ Chuckles ] You still don’t think what you’re doing is wrong, do you?

Nate: I get that you see it that way.

Elena: Oh, in other words, you don’t actually see what the problem is. I am sorry to say this, nate, but…I don’t recognize you anymore. You are not the man that I fell in love with. Maybe you’re just a product of your circumstances. Being a doctor, saving people. I admired dr. Hastings.

Nate: Dr. Hastings ceased to exist the night devon sucker-punched me.

Elena: And I own my part in that. But the bottom line is, you’re right. The man you were is gone, maybe forever. And I don’t think it’s in my best interest to stick around to find out. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Nate: So, you’re still planning to leave?

Elena: Nate, I am not going to put my life on hold to sit around and wait to see if the man that I love is going to disappoint me.

Nate: Disappoint you again, you mean. I don’t know how to stop doing that because nothing I do seems to please you.

Elena: I’m just saying I am going to take that interview.

Nate: Understood. You won’t pump the brakes on your professional ambition to save our relationship, but you forced me to.

Elena: I didn’t force you to do anything. I made a decision to pursue a career opportunity, just like you made a decision to put on a show to try to convince me to change my mind. That was your choice.

Nate: And your choice was to come all the way over to chancellor-winters and interrupt a meeting to announce you were leaving? But you weren’t forcing my hand.

Elena: That was not my intention.

Nate: Of course it was. Why else would you show up the way you did? But I won’t force you to admit it. It was my choice to confess because I thought I was making the choice for both of us. You leaving genoa city — that is all about you and you alone.

Tucker: Uh, I am not the ceo you’re talking about. But it does make me wonder what’s going on at chancellor-winters that would even make it possible for another ceo to take over. Are there significant changes happening at the company?

Devon: Well, you know there’s changes happening at the company ’cause we just merged.

Tucker: Right.

Devon: We’re a brand-new company, essentially. So, yeah, of course, there’s a lot of things still falling into place.

Tucker: Okay. Uh, well, it’s obvious you’re flying blind as to who this person is. I’d like to try to protect you in any way I can, and I have the resources to help. So, why don’t you let me? What can you tell me about this leak? ‘Cause I could put my people on it and uncover whoever and whatever’s at play here.

Devon: No, no, ’cause we have our own people to do that kind of thing. And what information do you imagine you’d find out about our company since you’re not a part of it?

Tucker: [ Chuckling ] Well, I’ve been around the block a few times. Generally, if there’s information to be had, there’s a way to uncover it.

Devon: Right. Well, thank you, but we’re all set.

Tucker: Alright. I just want to help. At the very least, you know, you need to identify and oust this leaker, try to control whatever damage they did to whatever extent you can.

Devon: Yeah, well, that leak has been plugged.

Tucker: Has it? You don’t seem that sure, son. You just say the word. I’ll be right there for you.

Chloe: Why aren’t you more upset about this?

Nick: I’m not surprised adam would do this. I’ve come to expect it from my brother.

Chloe: Well, at the very least, he’s getting sally alone to try to win her back. So I think you should go over there and stop him before he tries to sink his hooks into her. Okay. Fine. I’ll do it.

Nick: No. Chloe, stop. Please don’t do that.

Chloe: Why not? Are you gonna march over there and put an end to this little rendezvous?

Nick: I don’t think either one of us should interfere. I know sally can take care of herself. And who knows? Maybe this is what adam and sally need to either get closure or to…reconnect.

Sally: Fine. Fine. I will have dinner with you.

Adam: Thank you. Okay? I promise you will not regret it.

Sally: I have heard that before.

Adam: Well…

Sally: [ Sighs ] This is…kind of nice.

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: So, where do we start?

Adam: Uh…with appetizers?

Sally: Cute. [ Chuckles ] But I meant, like, I feel like we should just get to it… ’cause [Scoffs] I… might leave here in the next five minutes because I don’t — I don’t know if I’m gonna believe anything that you have to say and I really don’t know if I can ever let you back in.

Adam: Okay. That is fair. I understand that your guard’s up. I know it’s hard to just trust someone again. But I’m hoping that, deep down, you can feel our connection and you know that it is honest. Okay, sally? You see me. You know me. I have shared more with you in a short amount of time than I have ever felt comfortable sharing with anyone. And I think you feel the same way.

Sally: I did. At one point.

Adam: Are you really that attached to someone else so soon? Was it really that easy for you to move on? Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Sally: I really don’t know how to answer that question. And it actually doesn’t even matter ’cause this isn’t about my feelings for anyone else. I could be seeing any and every other guy in genoa city, and it would have no bearing on the way that I feel about you. The only person that has the power to affect the way that i feel about you is you. You made me feel used, manipulated, and lied to. And I thought we had something special.

Adam: Sally, we did have something special.

Sally: Look, if you want this conversation to be open and honest, it also has to be about accepting that there may be no going back after everything that happened.

Adam: Okay. I accept that. But I am going to prove you wrong.

Chloe: Sally and adam do not need to reconnect, not now or ever.

Nick: Well, I, of course, agree with you. But it is her call.

Chloe: Everything about that relationship is toxic. And sally needs distance and time to heal. And if you’re okay with that, then great, but if this involves some sort of game about you getting back at your brother — let me rephrase that. If you break sally’s heart, I’ll break your legs. Got it?

Nick: I got it. You are a good friend to sally. I’m glad she has you. I don’t know where things stand with us. I would like to find out, but it will be at a pace that sally is comfortable with.

Chloe: You realize you may not get that chance, right? Things might not be going anywhere if adam can successfully work his voodoo on her.

Jack: But if you have no intention of letting him in, why go through with all of this? Wouldn’t it be easier just to ice him out entirely?

Ashley: I have another reason to want to meet with him, jack. I spoke with you about it earlier. Something fishy’s going on with tucker, okay? It has nothing to do with me or his desire to reconnect with his family. I’m more convinced than ever that he had some kind of involvement with diane while she was living in los angeles.

Jack: So, you’re going to use his contrition to get information out of him.

Devon: I need you to know that all this probing and questioning into what’s going on at the company isn’t making me feel very comfortable right now, okay?

Tucker: I’m just concerned for you.

Devon: I — I understand that, but you need to understand that I’m still just taking your word that you’re not the ceo who’s getting information, alright? And I’m not gonna be pulled or pushed into any corners.

Tucker: I’m — [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. D-did I say or do something to offend you?

Devon: No, you didn’T. It’s me. It’S… this is a lot. It’s a lot to process, finding out something like this.

Tucker: Sure.

Devon: It’s got me looking at everybody crazy. I’m sure you can understand that. I appreciate you wanting to help me, but I’m gonna take care of this myself — ’cause personal issues are one thing, business is a different thing. I know you understand that as a businessman.

Tucker: I do. I do.

Devon: Good.

Tucker: Yes, I’m a businessman, but I’m also your father. And these days, you know what being a father means.

Elena: Maybe I am being selfish going to baltimore. But you’ve been going through so many changes. And as much as I’d like to be there by your side, I think this is something that you need to do alone.

Nate: I thought our relationship meant more to you than this.

Elena: It used to mean everything. But it has been excruciating watching you struggle through this moral dilemma. And I have tried to support you in the best way that I could, but I think I just need to realize that the man that I’ve been holding on to is not the man who’s standing in front of me.

Nate: Hey… sit. I’m sorry that things have gotten so contentious between us.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know how we got here. But I still believe we can fix this.

Elena: I can’t see how.

Nate: We can get out of this place we’re in if we do it together because we are stronger united than we are apart. Because I’m still the same man who you fell in love with, the man who wants… nothing more…

[ Breathes deeply ] …Than for you to come back home.

Elena: [ Voice breaking ] I don’t know, nate.

Nate: Remember us. Huh? Remember us. You’re all I have. Don’t go. Please stay.

Elena: [ Gasps ] So, you’re 45.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Sometimes you’re so busy taking care of everyone else

Elena: I’m not doing this because I want to. I am doing this because I feel like I have to. You need to figure out who you are.

Nate: I know who I am.

Elena: I don’t think you do. Because you still don’t understand that everything that’s happened to you is a direct result of your choices. And it doesn’t matter how many times I tell you. What matters is that you know that what you did was wrong. I tried to talk through this with you. I wanted to work on our relationship. Why do you think I went on board with the podcast for chancellor-winters? It was because I wanted to be closer to you.

Nate: I know that. I was looking forward to working side by side again, collaborating as a team like we used to.

Elena: Nate, it all sounds good in theory. But we haven’t been a team in a long time. And I just don’t see a future with you anymore.

Jack: What makes you think that diane and tucker were in cahoots in L.A.? And, frankly, what business is it of yours what diane did with her time there?

Ashley: It’s my business because she’s involved with my family — you, kyle, and harrison. And I’m just as protective of you as you are of me, whether you like it or not.

Jack: Boy, digging up dirt on diane seems to be genoa city’s new favorite pastime. So, what have you found out?

Ashley: Nikki told me something she found out when she was in los angeles last week. Apparently, diane was seen in the company of a very wealthy, bentley-driving gentleman while she was living there.

Jack: Diane was gone for years. She has every right to be involved with anyone she wants to, including someone of means.

Ashley: You don’t think it’s a little odd that tucker shows up in genoa city with the same make and model bentley as a gift for diane’s son?

Tucker: It was also a gift for phyllis’s daughter. Does that make phyllis part of tucker’s conspiracy? I’m just saying this is all conjecture on your part. There’s no real evidence here. You and nikki are working very hard to ruin someone’s life.

Ashley: Wow. How deep has diane gotten under your skin?

Jack: [ Sighs ]

I need you to need me

with your love, my heart’s complete

no one said it’d be easy

I’ll be here by your side

love for you I can’t deny

would you mind if I stayed the night?

Let me love you

let me love you

Sally: Filet mignon, medium rare. Good choice.

Adam: You liked it?

Sally: You know I did. A good steak —

Adam: Ah! Can end any feud. I remember. I miss this. You know, not just the relationship or the romance, but the, um, friendship. You know? I could always count on you as a confidante. You were, um, a true friend to me. And believe it or not, i actually don’t have many of those.

Sally: Yeah, well [Sighs] That makes two of us. I miss our friendship, too. You saw things in me that no one else ever did.

Adam: No, I could see how amazing you were from the moment we met, long before we started seeing each other, before I saw you through a lens of love. Now I can’t see you through anything else.

Sally: Yeah, well… that was before.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Yep. Before I blew everything up with a series of very foolish mistakes.

[ Sighs ] Look, I’m not using this as an excuse, but I’ve gotten pretty used to having nobody to trust. And when I finally realized that I finally found someone that i could, I was filled, sally, with this overbearing desire to protect you. I mean, not only from the backlash that I’m sure was gonna come from my family, but from the damage that I’ve historically done to the people who care about me. And [Sighs] Once I finally realized the terrible mistake that I had made, all I wanted to do was to keep you safe. So I pushed you as far away as possible. I chased you away and hurt you in ways that I have spent long nights regretting. It’s in ways that I can never take back. And I want you to know that I am truly, deeply sorry for lying to you, for hurting you… and for loving you.

Sally: Loving me?

Adam: If I never would have fallen in love with you, we wouldn’t be where we are now, sally. Okay, I need you to know, as much as I treasure the memories of all the joyous times we spent together, I would have given it all up if it meant that I never caused you a moment of pain.

Sally: Thank you for saying that. But I wouldn’t trade a single day that we spent together, despite all of the pain. I could never regret anything that gave me so much… and felt so good. Maybelline new york’s instant eraser

Nick: Yes, I, uh — I would like to, uh, see where our friendship goes, um, but I would be an idiot to ignore the fact that the adam and sally chapter isn’t completely closed.

Chloe: Well, it should be. Slammed shut.

Nick: Maybe. But I’ve heard from both adam and sally. There are conflicting feelings from both sides, and those are feelings that sally needs to work through before we go any further. Because one thing I am not on the fence about is — if we’re going to take our relationship to another level, she’s got to be completely sure that she wants to be with just me.

Chloe: Yeah, I get that. You don’t want to be involved with someone who’s still hung up on someone else. But I think you’re underestimating how difficult a time sally’s had letting go of adam and how hard adam fights for something he wants.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yeah, possibly. But maybe you’re not giving sally enough credit for how well she can assert or stand up for herself. Or maybe you’re giving adam too much credit for how strong his hold is on her.

Sally: Here’s to great conversations.

Adam: To great friendships.

Sally: To honesty and transparency.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And an amazing future.

[ Glasses clink ]

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: I know you think i can’t understand what this has been like for you and I don’t get what you’re struggling with, but I think I do.

Sally: You’ve been doing a lot of thinking, huh? Please enlighten me, oh, wise one.

Adam: I know you may think you have feelings for nick, but he’s just a way to help you forget what you and I have.

Sally: So, this is about nick.

Adam: No. It’s — no, it’s not. What — what I meant to say is —

Sally: No, I know — I know what you meant because you — you — you said it. You opened your mouth. The words came out. So, thank you for being honest. I mean, everybody knows your history with your brother. I mean, is this really even about me, or is this just about beating nick? He can get some good job at newman, but you could stop him from getting me? Did you mean anything that you just said? Or is this some power move to best nick and win me back like some kind of prize?

Jack: Diane has not gotten under my skin. I’m just not willing to accept that she and tucker have some kind of partnership in who knows what because they both happened to live in L.A. And had a passing acquaintance with bentleys. It’s too big a stretch. And how does that connect them? And to what end?

Ashley: I don’t know, but nikki and I are gonna find out.

Jack: I don’t like where this is going. You two are trying to ruin diane.

Ashley: You can’t ruin somebody if they haven’t done anything wrong, right?

Jack: You could do a lot of damage along the way. My principal concern is kyle. He finally has a decent relationship with his mother. I’m not gonna let that implode because of unproven accusations. You said you and I have the same thing in mind. We want to protect our family. Fine. I’m telling you — don’t do anything to hurt my son.

Devon: I’m gonna take off. And I apologize for just barging the way I did, okay?

Tucker: No, no, no. Listen. You’re always welcome here. Always. Next time, bring dominic, damn it. I want to meet my grandson.

Devon: Since you say you understand how personal fatherhood is to me these days, I want your word as a father and as a grandfather now that you’re telling me the truth about chancellor-winters.

Tucker: You have my word. I would never make any kind of business play that might harm you or jeopardize our relationship in any way.

Devon: Alright.

[ Door closes ] (Vo) at the tidy cats innovation lab.

Elena: I made up my mind. I’m going to baltimore. I think it’s the best thing for me right now. And even if I don’t get the job, I think I need to be alone for a bit. You probably should be, too.

Nate: Got it.

Elena: I will call you when i get back into town, and we can arrange for me to get my stuff. I’ll probably do it while you’re at work.

Nate: I won’t be at work. I was fired, remember?

Elena: Not because of me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Nate: [ Sighs heavily ] Victoria, it’s nate. We need to meet. There’s been a development, and, um, it’s not good.

Ashley: I would never do anything to hurt kyle. You know that.

Jack: I am just telling you to slow down. You are jumping from one conclusion to another.

Ashley: I — let’s talk about this little bit later, okay?

Tucker: Hey. Sorry I’m late. My sincere apologies. There was an emergency with devon, and I couldn’t get away.

Ashley: Oh. Is dominic okay?

Tucker: Oh, no, it had nothing to do with him.

Ashley: Oh. Thank goodness. Uh, actually, I think you did us both a favor by being late. Um, this dinner would have been a massive waste of time because I wasn’t gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, tucker. I was just gonna give you enough rope to hang yourself. And you gave me enough time to realize that I didn’t want to stoop to that kind of childish behavior, so —

Tucker: Wait a minute. Wait. Wait. Wait. Please.

Ashley: No. I’m sure I’ll see you around.

Jack: Does this mean you’re letting go of what we discussed earlier?

Ashley: Not a chance. I’ll see you later, boys.

Tucker: She’s something else, isn’t she?

Jack: She’s out of your league.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Always nice to see you, jack.

Jack: Stay. Have a seat. We need to talk.

Adam: Look, I want a time machine to go back five minutes to take back what I said, okay? This has nothing to do with nick. This is about me and you. But I can’t pretend not to know that you’re involved with somebody else. I mean, both of you have admitted it to me, sally, and i can’t not address the elephant in the room — that you’ve moved on.

Sally: I moved on because you dumped me. Oh, my god. To think I almost fell for this ruse. I almost got lulled back into some false sense of security and nostalgia, all so you can accomplish some sort of agenda of yours yet again?

Sally: No, that is not what I am doing, sally. I don’t want to do anything else to hurt you. All I want to do is make you happy.

Sally: No, you don’T. You just can’t stand the fact that I’m with someone else. And the worst part is that that person is your brother.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Summer: I want to know what’s going on between you and my dad, why you’re spending time together outside of the office.

Christine: I have news. Good news.

Victoria: I’m gonna find you a suitable position here. Chancellor-winters’ loss is newman’s gain.

Nate: [ Sniffs, sighs ]

Lily: Nate. What’s wrong?

Nate: Um… devon, lily, uh… there’s something I need to say to you two — in private.

Billy: Can it wait?

Nate: No.

Billy: Look, nate, we got some pretty, uh, pressing business matters to take care of, things in the pipeline that are time-sensitive.

Nate: This directly impacts what we’re all doing here.

Audra: The ipo?

Nate: Among other things.

Lily: Okay. Um, can you two actually just give us a minute, please?

Devon: No, hang on a second. Hang on a second. Why do they have to leave?

Nate: You know what? You’re right. Billy and audra can stay. They’ll find out the truth soon enough. In fact, I want you to all hear it from me.

Lily: The truth about what?

[ Knock on door ]

Tucker: Hey. Good time? Bad time? Sure as hell been a long time.

Adam: So it has. Come on in.

Tucker: Thank you.

Adam: I, uh, heard about your dramatic return, the little stunt with the helicopter.

Tucker: Oh, yeah, the stunt. Well, I was late for the ceremony, you know, and wouldn’t want to be thought of as rude. You know how the righteous people in this town like to cluck their tongues.

Adam: Yeah, I think you just like being unpredictable.

Tucker: Ah, look who’s talking. Choosing to work here instead of at newman. Victor must have had an apoplectic fit.

Adam: I, uh, assume you’re here to see jack, but unfortunately he’s in a meeting.

Tucker: Yeah, I did stop by to say hi to him, but I’m actually on my way down to the lab.

Adam: What for?

Tucker: To see ashley.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] And what do you think that’ll accomplish?

Ashley: Hey.

Traci: Hi.

Ashley: Where’d you get that?

Traci: Oh, harrison was in here playing earlier, and he found it in the trash.

Ashley: Oh. That’s because I put it there.

Traci: It looks japanese.

Ashley: It’s from a tea ceremony that I went to with tucker a long time ago. Um, I think when he gave it to me he was trying to make an impression, except I, um — I wasn’t very impressed.

Traci: Apparently not.

Ashley: Do you want it? ‘Cause I don’t care what happens to it.

Traci: [ Sighs ] So, I imagine running into tucker again after all these years has brought up some memories.

Ashley: Oh, I think that’s what he was hoping.

Traci: Well, do you have a sense for the truth of his story? I mean, do you think he really is a changed man after his brush with death?

Ashley: [ Sighs ]

You never know

Nate: It’s about your plans to take chancellor-winters public…and my own role in that endeavor. As much as I regret having to admit this, I haven’t been operating in good faith.

Audra: What do you mean by that exactly?

Nate: Since the beginning of this process, I’ve been meeting in secret with the ceo of another company, sharing what i know, every closely guarded detail about our planned offering, including the timetable for our announcement, how everyone felt about it, what point we were at in the process.

Billy: Are you serious?

Lily: Why would you do something like that?

Devon: This is about you and me, isn’t it?

Ashley: Huh. Has tucker changed? As in, is he capable of having an epiphany about anything ever?

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: I will take that as a “no.”

Ashley: Well, he’s a narcissist, right? I mean, look at the way he disrupted kyle and summer’s vow renewal ceremony. It was so incredibly obnoxious. And I don’t believe he had an awakening after he crashed his fancy car and then he went to an ashram. Just two exotic things he can check off his bucket list.

Traci: I imagine he’s lying to himself to some extent, don’t you think?

Ashley: Exactly. Well, that’s what chronic liars do, right? Guys like that, it’s a reflex. We’ve learned that the hard way.

Traci: I guess we have.

Ashley: He’s a master manipulator. He always has been. I mean, when we were married, he was supposed to be [Sighs] So incredibly in love with me, and yet… well, he cheated on me, you know? Twice. Anyway, he was involved in business dealings that hurt people I cared about, and now I’m supposed to believe it’s just a coincidence that he shows up in genoa city a few months after diane did.

Traci: Wait, y-you think there’s some connection between the two of them?

Ashley: Yeah, I think there’s a strong possibility.

Traci: What?

Ashley: I think somehow they were involved when diane was living in los angeles.

Traci: Th-this is the first i am hearing of any of this.

Ashley: Well, it stands to reason, if I’m right about this, diane would want to keep it under wraps. I mean, she’s been going on and on about the exemplary life she lived in L.A., You know, how hard she worked to change things and how frugal she was. So, if she did find herself once again in tucker’s orbit, I mean, how long do you think that saintly lifestyle would have lasted?

Traci: [ Sighs ] But what makes you think that he even knew that she was alive, let alone that they were collaborating?

Ashley: It’s complicated, and I don’t have enough time to give you details. I’m sorry. I’ve got to get to work.

Traci: [ Gasps ]

Ashley: I know. I’m leaving your writer’s brain in torment. I’m really sorry, traci.

Traci: You’ve got that right.

Ashley: But trust me — there are possible links between these two charlatans that are just too much of a coincidence to ignore. And I don’t have any proof. Yet.

[ Door opens and closes ]

Tucker: I’m glad I ran into you.

Adam: Oh, yeah?

Tucker: Yeah. I wanted to let you know that I’m delighted that you decided to cut ties with all things newman, especially victor. It’s the best thing you could’ve done for yourself, man, you know, get out from under the old man’s thumb once and for all.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s a little rich, don’t you think? Editorializing about my father and me. I mean, it’s not like you have put your best foot forward to show up for your own son. Did you even know he had a kid?

Tucker: What kind of a question is that? Of course I knew he had a kid.

Adam: I’m so sorry. What was I thinking? You are tucker mccall, the, uh, all-knowing, all-seeing.

Tucker: Well, rebuilding my relationship with devon and becoming a part of my grandson’s life.

Adam: Well, I think that is a good place for you to put your energy. And from everything I’ve heard, you’re wasting your time with ashley.

Tucker: Yeah. Maybe I am. But I’m gonna try… ’cause I love her. And when you really love someone and you realize the gravity of the mistakes you made that cost you that love, there is no barrier that you wouldn’t try to overcome to win it back.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: This is a nice surprise.

Sally: Times two.

Nick: Been thinking a lot about you.

Sally: Oh?

Nick: After our conversation at the club last night.

Sally: Yes, about our situation where we both agreed to see where the wind takes us?

Nick: Have you had a chance to consider things?

Sally: Yes. I have been thinking a lot about it, you know, about what this is, where it’s going, what it looks like now. And there is something that i would like to ask you. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Nick: So, you want to ask me a question. Fire away.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay. I know this is short notice, but can we maybe spend some time together this weekend? I don’t know. I thought maybe we could do something fun, something different, just the two of us.

Nick: I mean, I’m pretty busy.

Sally: Okay. Well, I tried.

Nick: [ Laughing ] Is that seriously your question?

Sally: Yes. Yeah, I-I — [ Sighs ] I know that we said that we were just gonna go moment by moment, but we can’t literally do that because you have christian. We both have busy lives, other obligations, so some advanced planning is required. You know, unless you just really want to keep things simple for now.

Nick: Yeah, cool. What’d you have in mind for our little, uh, hangout session?

Sally: Well, um… skydiving, hot air ballooning. Heard there’s a pinball tournament in akron.

Nick: Pinball? How did you know that —

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Oh, you’re kidding. Okay.

Sally: Yeah. Uh… more on that later. No, I just — look, the fall colors are beautiful, and I just thought maybe we could go out to the lake and, you know, pack a nice lunch and maybe find a place to go skinny-dipping. But, you know, I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Nick: Skinny-dipping? You vicious, vicious woman. How am I supposed to think about anything else today?

Sally: I’m sorry.

Nick: Struggling to come up with any other thought. Uh, yes, I would love to spend some time with you, just the two of us, away from everything else.

Sally: Me too.

Nick: Not coming up with anything right now, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out.

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: And whatever we decide to do, can we just please keep skinny-dipping on the table?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] You have my word.

Sally: I’m not gonna let you believe that you’re cold and selfish. I know for a fact that you’re not. I know it in my heart. Because… I wouldn’t be falling in love with someone like that.

Sally: We made such an effort to keep things professional, but this is definitely not professional.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, all those declarations that nothing is going on between us. Although I will say that I sold that a little more than you did.

Sally: Not true. All of my assurances to chloe and to chelsea and even you were legit, because I did not want to ruin my chances at newman fashion or newman media.

Adam: And now newman/locke.

Sally: Actually, what was most important to me was not ruining my chances with what i really wanted.

Adam: And what is that?

Sally: You.

Adam: I mean, why waste time worrying about what other people think? Anything can happen. Life can change in an instant, so we need to grab every moment we can.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more.

[ Chuckles ] Mm. [ Chuckles ]

Sally: They’re beautiful!

Adam: Looks like someone has a secret admirer.

Sally: “Shine brightly, kick some ass, and know that I have your back. The best is yet to come. Love, adam.”

Adam: [ Gasps ]

[ Sighs ]

Nate: You’re wrong, devon. My actions had nothing to do with getting some kind of revenge.

Billy: Well, then, why don’t you go ahead and tell us what the hell is going on through your head?

Audra: Who’s the ceo you’re conspiring with? What have you shared with them?

Devon: How much damage have you done?

Nate: This was never about inflicting damage. The company was still going to thrive.

Devon: When? After it was ripped out from under us with your help?

Nate: I had one goal — creating an opportunity in the only way that seemed possible.

Lily: What do you mean, opportunity?

Devon: Oh, I think I know what he means. It has to be better than what he’s got going on here. This ceo promised to put you in charge of chancellor-winters after you helped them take it over, didn’t they?

Nate: I needed to find a way to create the break for myself you refused to give me.

Sally: Fabulous day out there.

Chloe: Yeah, I guess so.

Sally: I know so.

Chloe: Oh. Well, you’re in a good mood. Any special reason?

Sally: Well, I just ran into nick in the park, and it seemed like the universe was sending us a message.

Chloe: Oh. What kind of message was that?

Sally: Well, we had a long talk last night about where things stand, where things are going, you know, that sort of thing.

Chloe: And?

Sally: You know, we both had intense relationships that crashed and burned, and neither of us want to go through that again, but we also don’t want to miss out on this wonderful connection that we feel. So we just decided to take this as it comes, not put any labels on it, and just enjoy ourselves in the moment.

Chloe: Well, it’s always wise to get things out in the open and make sure you’re on the same page.

Sally: You’re being very diplomatic.

Chloe: Well, not on purpose. I like nick. He’s a good guy. He’s genuine and down-to-earth. And I’m so glad to see you so happy, you know, moving on from what could have been the worst thing that could have happened to you or anyone else. Forget I said that.

Billy: I mean, at least be honest about your intent. You screwed over everybody in this room, including your family.

Nate: I repeat — this wasn’t about revenge —

Billy: No, nate, you don’t get to dress this up however you want, okay? ‘Cause the truth is you betrayed us. Not only us. You betrayed my mother. You betrayed neil and katherine. You sat in here like a loyal soldier. Then you went and sold that information to another ceo behind our backs.

Devon: You never answered me before, either. You were planning to sell your stake in the company to this person, weren’t you? ‘Cause then that would put them over the top in the number of shares they owned and give them a controlling interest, right? That was the trade-off. ‘Cause then — what? — They would install you at the top so you could carry out their orders. Am I close? You’re not gonna deny that? That’s amazing. It’s amazing that you would do all of that just over some stupid issues between you and me.

Nate: Think what you want. I can’t stop you.

Devon: It’s obvious that’s what this is about. And the nerve for you to stand there and say that I don’t give you opportunities when i literally handed you this position as my second in command with your zero business experience? I’d call that an opportunity. I obviously wanted this to work out for you. We all wanted you to be a part of the family business. We supported you while you lied to my face and to everybody else here. And you know what? Let’s not forget to mention all these random times that you just so happened to run into audra outside the office. ‘Cause I’m sure that was calculated since you wanted to get as much info about this ipo deal as possible. Right?

Lily: No one is blaming you for anything, audra.

Audra: I appreciate that.

Billy: I mean, I’m sick to my stomach. I don’t even know who the hell you are. I mean, who are you?

Devon: This is the reason that you and your girlfriend elena are having problems and that she’s staying in a hotel right now. She told me she doesn’t recognize the person you’re becoming and it kills her to watch you go through it. And I’m gonna bet something else. The only reason that you even admitted all this to us is because she showed up earlier and she was gonna do it herself, right?

Nate: You do not know what you’re talking about. It was my decision to come clean.

Billy: Oh, that’s a very convenient time to grow a conscience, nate.

Lily: Wait a second. When we found out that tucker had come into town and we wanted to slow things down with the ipo, it was your idea to speed things up. You said it was in our best interest.

[ Scoffs ]

Devon: Hey, hold on, man. Hold on. This person that you’re selling us out to is my father?

[ Elevator doors opening ]

[ Elevator doors closing ]

Ashley: Now you’re ambushing me at work? What are you trying to accomplish?

Tucker: Can we start with “hello,” or is that too much to ask?

Ashley: I made myself crystal clear. This is just arrogance.

Tucker: You know that’s not true, and I’m not just gonna walk away.

Ashley: But I told you — oh, please. You’ve done it before.

Tucker: Ashley, I’m —

Ashley: I told you how i felt. Now stay the hell away from me, please.

[ Cellphone rings ] Ashley abbott. Nurse mariyam sabo knows a moment this pure

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Keep it quilted means

you keep it the best.

Chloe: If I’m being careful about what I say right now, it’s because I know how complicated this is for you. I alluded to adam. I didn’t even mention his name. And that big, sunny smile of yours completely disappeared.

Sally: And I have been very open with nick about that, that I’m still dealing with leftover feelings and break-up trauma, and he has been really cool and understanding.

Chloe: Yeah, you’ve said that before, but the guy has to have his limits.

Sally: Nick is giving me space to sort through my feelings with adam without making me feel weird or guilty. He’s not pressuring me in any way.

Chloe: And that must be refreshing.

Sally: Okay.

Chloe: Well, am I wrong? This is what it’s like to date a mature, emotionally healthy grown-up, and that is exactly what you need right now. You don’t need to be rushing into anything until you get the previous guy out of your system. And you just said nick knows that — because he has ethics and compassion and he’s confident enough in himself that he doesn’t want to be somebody else’s rebound. Do you know how rare that is?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I mean, it’s — it’s so easy with nick. We made plans to spend time together this weekend, just the two of us, to get away from everything else that’s going on.

Chloe: That sounds perfect.

Sally: So looking forward to it, you know, whatever it is that we decide to do. But I am determined to focus on the positive things in my life and not the confusing ones.

Ashley: Yes, absolutely. I will text you that right now. Okay. Bye-bye.

Tucker: So, I’ve —

[ Laughs ]

Ashley: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: I have been thinking over everything you said to me, and you have every right to still be angry, so —

Ashley: Oh, thank you so much for the validation, tucker. I mean, honestly, I don’t know what I would have done without it. Listen, I’m not angry with you, okay? I’m annoyed. But what I feel for you, like i said before, was indifference.

Tucker: No. I don’t buy that. I think that’s a facade to cover up the pain you feel from what i did to you. You know that a love like ours never dies.

Ashley: Could you just get over yourself? For the record — for the record — and hear me out here — it’s easy to stop loving somebody when they’ve repeatedly cheated on you. Not to mention you tried to take away my family’s company, tucker. Are we really gonna keep going over this again and again?

Tucker: I keep coming back to that pivotal conversation we had when our relationship was falling apart, right? And katherine urged you to come talk to me and —

Ashley: Okay, so, we’re gonna keep talking about this?

Tucker: Yes, we are. Yes, we are. And you said to me the only way we could stay together is if i was a different man, if I — if I underwent some kind of miraculous change. But you weren’t sure you believed in those kind of miracles anymore, right?

Ashley: Yeah. So, you think the best way to revive my belief in miracles is to land your helicopter in my backyard? Genius.

Tucker: Yeah, that was not the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’ve taken a lot of flak for it.

Ashley: Oh, I’ll bet you have.

Tucker: And in hindsight, uh, I’m glad you weren’t there to see it. As a — [ Chuckles ] As a grand gesture, it was kind of a flop. But I have changed.

Ashley: Well, so you keep telling me. Yeah, I know.

Tucker: Right. Talk is cheap. That’s why I’m here. I would like the opportunity to show you I’ve changed, take you to dinner, okay? Just the two of us. If, after dinner, you still feel the same way, you honestly want nothing to do with me… I swear I’ll back off.

Devon: Say something, nate! Did my father come back here to try and get control of this company? Yes or no?

Nate: I am not going to reveal the ceo’s identity. This is about me, what I did, what I’m doing to make things right.

Devon: So it’s tucker.

Nate: I didn’t say that.

Devon: You didn’t have to say it. You didn’t have to say anything. Excuse me. Actually, you know what? I know this goes without saying. You’re fired.

Billy: Audra, how does this change things for us right now?

Audra: Tell us what you’ve relayed to this mysterious person about our plans. How much confidential information surrounding the ipo have you compromised?

Nate: [ Sighs ] Enough for them to be able to make a move. They’ve had time to get their financing in place. They’re ready to swoop in the day of the offering. All they need is the date it’s happening.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: [ Sighs ] Oh, my god. I have to call jill and let her know what’s going on. And, um, audra, please hold off on filing the paperwork until we just figure this whole thing out.

Audra: I’ll handle it.

Lily: Thank you. Oh, nate.

[ Scoffs ] Do you know, what’s funny, is that we were doing this ipo so that we could pursue our collective vision — ours. That included you. I mean, a lot of what we wanted to do were your ideas. And if you had gone through with this, then chancellor-winters would have been led by someone else’s vision. They would have been the majority shareholders, and they would have pushed us out. And what katherine built and devon and your uncle — what they all built would have been taken from us. And you were willing to let that happen? I mean, why? Why?

Billy: At least now we know what ashland locke saw in you — greed, selfishness. I mean, honestly, how do you do that to your own family?

Nate: I’m not even gonna pretend I can explain my motives to you.

Lily: Okay, then explain it to me. Suffering from sinus congestion,

Nate: You want to know what motivated me? Frustration. I was robbed of the one thing that brought me joy as a doctor — the ability to perform surgery. After that, my career in medicine started to feel hollow. I never took to being a hospital administrator. So, when you and devon offered me a job here —

Billy: Yeah. As coo. Not exactly in the mailroom.

Nate: I was so grateful for the opportunity.

Billy: Really? And that’s how you show it?

Nate: I threw myself into this job. For the first time in a long while, I took pride in what i was doing, felt that sense of purpose I used to have, the desire to excel.

[ Chuckles ] It was disconcerting at first when devon would shut down my ideas, wouldn’t even discuss them. But I was the new kid on the block, so I just powered on. But over time, it became obvious that something more was happening. Devon was rejecting everything i came up with, ideas I knew were good because you and billy told me so. But ultimately, it was devon’s call. And I knew you weren’t gonna challenge your brother, not about this. I wasn’t a priority.

Lily: That is not true.

Nate: It is. Not that I’m blaming you.

Billy: None of this — none of this justifies stabbing us in the back.

Nate: I wanted to make the most of this position I had been given, to be a full participant, for at least some of my ideas to be implemented. But it became clear that as long as devon could pull rank, that was never going to happen. So when a different opportunity presented itself, I grabbed it, took the initiative, set things in motion that would allow my voice to be heard and respected. Because I knew it was the only way I’d ever have a chance to prove myself.

Lily: But it wasn’t the only way, nate. It was a choice.

Nate: Yeah. So, uh…I guess that’s it.

Lily: Get out.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: For you, sally spectra, hand-delivered via courier.

Sally: What is that?

Chloe: Well, I don’t know, but, I mean, it looks very fancy. Nice, heavy stock. Points off for calligraphy and not real engraving, but, I mean, it just feels so nice, so rich. Very tasteful.

Sally: Let me see it.

Chloe: Ah. No, no. I need to give the sniff test first.

Sally: The sniff test?

Chloe: Yeah. [ Sniffs ] Okay. So, it’s unscented, which means it’s definitely from a man.

Sally: Oh, my god. Come on. Here. Hand it over.

Chloe: No, what’s the magic word?

Sally: Chloe!

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Okay, fine. Okay, so, stop grinning and tell me. What does it say?

Sally: It is an invitation to dinner tonight.

Chloe: Ooh.

Sally: Signed “N.”

Chloe: [ Gasps ] Where?

Sally: “The grand phoenix rooftop.”

Chloe: Very romantic. I guess nick couldn’t wait for the weekend.

Sally: I love living in the moment.

[ Laughs ]

Ashley: Look, you and I are not going anywhere, okay? There’s no relationship for us. When I broke up with you, it’s because I was so tired of your lies and your betrayals and your manipulations. And that’s when I was madly in love with you. It was a long, long time ago, tucker. I see my ex-husband standing in front of me, somebody whom i have zero trust in.

Tucker: All I’m asking you, ashley, is to sit down with me and hear me out over some wine and some dinner — at your daughter’s restaurant, no less, where I will be one wrong move from being tossed out onto the street.

Ashley: Fine. Okay. But only because I want you to stop stalking me.

Tucker: [ Scoffs ]

Ashley: And I’m — yeah. I’m gonna hold you to the terms that you set, okay? One dinner.

Tucker: One dinner.

Ashley: One dinner, where once again I will tell you there’s no future for us. And then you steer clear of me. You promise me? No more showing up at my work or my home or anyplace else you think I might be.

Tucker: I promise you. I just want a shot. Mornings are our time, and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare.

Nate: Thank god I caught you before you left for baltimore.

Elena: Aren’t you supposed to be at work?

Nate: Look, I — I heard everything you said to me before you left chancellor-winters. It hit me hard, um, forced me to really look at what I was doing. And in that moment, I went back in and I made a decision. I told devon, lily, all of them everything I had done, that i had been meeting on the sly with another ceo, funneling them information about our public offering. I didn’t tell them who it was because I don’t — I don’t want this to turn into a major conflict. I just want it to end.

Elena: What happened next?

Nate: It was rough.

[ Breathes deeply ] Devon stormed out before I could explain why I did it. Lily ordered me to leave, and billy tore me a new one. And audra looked at me like i was dirt. But the point is, I did it. I told them the truth. I confessed everything, elena. I did it for you.

Audra: I’ll take the necessary steps to stop the ipo from moving forward.

Lily: Thank you.

Audra: Should we keep the framework in place so we’re ready if this is just a delay?

Lily: Um…I think that’s something that devon and I are gonna have to decide.

Billy: Once we find out who nate is feeding this information to.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Tucker: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: What a nice surprise. Although, sorry, you caught me at a bad time. I’m in a bit of a rush to get out of here.

Devon: Well, you know what? Make time for me ’cause I’m gonna ask you one question, and I want a straight, honest answer from you.

Tucker: Sure.

Devon: Did you come back to genoa city to go after chancellor-winters?

Nick: Quitting time?

Chloe: Oh, you know it. Can I help you with something?

Nick: Just looking for sally.

Chloe: Oh. You just missed her. She already headed to your little rendezvous.

Nick: My what?

Chloe: Oh, she told me. The grand phoenix rooftop. Your romantic dinner invitation?

[ Door closes ]

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighing ]

[ Door closes ]

Adam: I’m glad you could make it.
