Have you had a chance to review my proposal?<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Well, I have been wondering whether or not you can be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: This is a straightforward deal &#8212; quid pro quo, alright? I give you<br \/>\namanda&#8217;s letter from her father, the content of which could lead to your<br \/>\ndownfall.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: And in return?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: In return, you do me a favor one day without fail. The clock is<br \/>\nticking.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone vibrates ]<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Talking to anyone interesting?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Uh, no, just talked to an old friend.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I wanted to brainstorm some ideas about newman media&#8217;s marketing<br \/>\nstrategy, if you have time.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Would you mind if we did that another day? I just have too many<br \/>\nthings on my mind right now, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Everything alright?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Sighs ] He, um &#8212; he seems preoccupied. You have any idea what&#8217;s<br \/>\ngoing on?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: No, I don&#8217;T. Have you heard from chelsea?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah, I got an update from her a little while ago. Anita is on the mend<br \/>\n&#8212; slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I suppose the better question is, how is connor?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: He&#8217;s happy to be having all this time alone with his mother. He&#8217;s a<br \/>\nlittle curious why rey is tagging along, but I told him, since I couldn&#8217;t be<br \/>\nthere, I was sending somebody I trusted.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Not far from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah. I&#8217;m actually glad rey is there. It&#8217;s probably safer for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: My thoughts exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You know, you don&#8217;t have to do this whole nice conversation thing every<br \/>\ntime we run into each other. I know what you think of me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I might surprise you.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Hey, why don&#8217;t you try and sit down?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: No, I can&#8217;T.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Will you do it for me at least? &#8216;Cause you&#8217;ve said yourself, these<br \/>\nthings take time.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: For you.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I just&#8230; victor should&#8217;ve met with sutton by now. I need an update.<br \/>\nI need something. How can you be so calm?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Because I know victor newman, and I know if he says he&#8217;s gonna do<br \/>\nsomething, he&#8217;s gonna do it. Just have to be patient.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: No, I can&#8217;T. I can&#8217;t wait any longer, okay? I just &#8212; I need<br \/>\nsomething. I need to &#8212; I need to figure out what is happening right now.

(Vo) imagine a visibly<br \/>\nhealthier pet in 28 days.<\/p>\n<p>Additional sponsorship<\/p>\n<p>provided by&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mariah&#8217;s text to me says, &#8220;I was feeling overwhelmed with everyone&#8217;s<br \/>\nconstant concern about my health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Okay, her text to me says, &#8220;extending my exploratory business trip.<br \/>\nJust needed a break.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, her message to me says, &#8220;I had to get away from feeling<br \/>\nsmothered. I&#8217;m sorry for keeping everyone guessing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, well, at least the lines of communication are open and she&#8217;s<br \/>\nbeing honest. That&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, and she says that she just needs space. &#8220;Love, mariah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, there&#8217;s more to the message that she sent me. She says that she<br \/>\npromises that she&#8217;ll be back before our next doctor&#8217;s appointment, that she&#8217;s<br \/>\ndoing fine and she&#8217;s taking good care of herself and the baby. And she said,<br \/>\n&#8220;your child isn&#8217;t giving me too much grief yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, that&#8217;s a relief.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I feel so bad that she felt so suffocated that she felt like she had to<br \/>\nleave town. When she comes back, that can&#8217;t happen again.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Now that you&#8217;re living on the property, little honesty can&#8217;t hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Chuckles ] Are you sure about that?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: You and I have a difficult history.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, if we&#8217;re gonna be honest, uh, let&#8217;s not mince words. We haven&#8217;t<br \/>\nliked each other very much. Actually, at all.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: That&#8217;s accurate. But the way you have been trying to improve has not<br \/>\ngone unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I&#8217;m just trying to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, my first instinct was to keep a very close eye on you, just in<br \/>\ncase.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: What, just in case it was all an act?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Wouldn&#8217;t be the first time. But apparently, I was wrong about you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: It takes a lot to admit that.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Your desire to improve yourself seems sincere, and i know how<br \/>\ndifficult it is to change. Trust me. I respect the effort you&#8217;re making.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I&#8217;m just trying every day to be a better man, a loving father,<br \/>\ndedicated son. But a lot of this is uncharted territory for me. Sometimes I wish<br \/>\nthat I had a road map.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, you have an entire family invested in your success. If you<br \/>\nshould happen to get lost, there will always be somebody there to put you back<br \/>\non the right path.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, that is very good to know.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I am rooting for you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Thank you, nikki. That means a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: But know this &#8212; if you ever start to backslide or you put any one of<br \/>\nus in danger, you will go right back to being enemy number one.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I learned a long time ago to never underestimate you.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Good. Keep it that way.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Slow down, okay? Just tell me what the problem is.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I dropped by mom&#8217;s room before I came over here, and I knocked<br \/>\nrepeatedly. There was no response. She&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Okay, imani, it&#8217;s not like she disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Well, I looked everywhere I could think of, i called her, texted her a<br \/>\ndozen times. No response.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Why would she leave after agreeing to let amanda represent her?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: [ Sighs ] Maybe that was just her way of getting out on bail, dropping<br \/>\nout of sight. I spoke to someone at the hotel security, the woman at the front<br \/>\ndesk &#8212; no one can remember seeing her coming or going all day.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Okay, that&#8217;s odd, but it is explainable. Just because no one has seen<br \/>\nher at the hotel, it doesn&#8217;t mean that she&#8217;s left genoa city. She could have<br \/>\nwent on a really long walk, and that is hardly a bail violation. But don&#8217;t<br \/>\nworry, we will look into this.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Well, I&#8217;ll get out of your hair and let you guys figure it out. I&#8217;m<br \/>\njust a call away.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Naya really picked the worst time to mia. I was just waiting to hear<br \/>\nback from victor newman about his conversation with sutton.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] Well, that&#8217;s gonna have to wait because we can&#8217;t get an acquittal<br \/>\nwithout a defendant.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Mm-hmm. So how do you propose we track down mom?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: First step, we get into naya&#8217;s room.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I just told you, she&#8217;s not there, which means we won&#8217;t be able to get<br \/>\ninside.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Well, the first thing that I learned when I realized that I need to<br \/>\nmake my own way in this world &#8212; don&#8217;t let little things get in your way.<\/p>\n<p>Brushing only reaches<\/p>\n<p>25% of your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Am I too late? Are you closed?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, I never turn away someone in need of a good cup of coffee. You<br \/>\nwant the usual?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Clears throat ] Maybe this is none of my business, but how are connor and<br \/>\nchelsea doing?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: It is definitely your business, since you&#8217;re the one that convinced me<br \/>\nto let chelsea take him to minnesota in the first place. Not to mention&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Rey being drafted into going along to make sure everything goes<br \/>\naccording to plan.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mm-hmm. And it is. So far. At least that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve heard from chelsea<br \/>\nand connor. Does rey agree?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, I have talked to him since he left, but he never really says<br \/>\nthat much about his work.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You know, I really hope that you won&#8217;t end up regretting taking my<br \/>\nadvice, letting connor go be with his mom.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, I had to work hard to sell victor on the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Can&#8217;t imagine that negotiation.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mm. He wasn&#8217;t entirely wrong about the risks. There still is a chance<br \/>\nthat all of us is gonna become a problem down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: In what way?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: What if chelsea wants to live near anita? Or anywhere else, for that<br \/>\nmatter? Then she&#8217;s gonna push to have connor live with her permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: What would you do if that happened?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I want my son to be with me, period. I should be his custodial parent.<br \/>\nThat is what&#8217;s best for him.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Even if chelsea does get a clean bill of health.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Wait, is there more to this? Hey, I don&#8217;t want to push, but you know<br \/>\nthat we can talk about anything. You know that.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Sighs ] There &#8212; there&#8217;s a lot that you don&#8217;t know about all this.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Hi, my baby.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Hey. If you&#8217;re looking for adam, he&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, just as well. I have a lot of things to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: What is going on in that brilliant mind of yours? You&#8217;ve been<br \/>\ndistracted ever since you got home.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yeah. Oh, by the way, we&#8217;re leaving for italy tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I know. I&#8217;m counting the hours.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, then, as time is ticking away, I still have a lot things to do<br \/>\nbefore we leave.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, I&#8217;m glad that congratulating victoria was on that list. I saw<br \/>\nthe flowers you sent. They&#8217;re beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, that. Yeah. Well, you know, actually, you deserve that bouquet of<br \/>\nflowers. I mean, you reminded me that i was not at my best when it came to that<br \/>\nmerger. I should&#8217;ve congratulated her because she pulled off quite a coup.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, that&#8217;s very magnanimous of you. Of course&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Victor: What? What did I do wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, I was just gonna say that it would be an even more magnanimous<br \/>\ngesture if you were to congratulate her in person. Maybe you can put that on<br \/>\nyour pre-flight to-do list.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, you mean what I did wasn&#8217;t good enough?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I&#8217;m just keeping you honest, darling.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: No one dose it better, you know.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: When you said you don&#8217;t let the little things get in your way, I &#8212; I<br \/>\nthought you were going to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Pick the lock?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: [ Sighs ] Well, the important thing is you were able to get security<br \/>\nto open up her door.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I just don&#8217;t know why naya&#8217;s suite was emptied out. Why would an<br \/>\ninnocent woman pack her bags and skip bail?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Easier than telling her well-meaning daughters no. She told us how she<br \/>\nwanted her defense structured.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, and we agreed to her terms. We said that we would not implicate<br \/>\nsutton to save her.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: We said that, but either she didn&#8217;t trust us from the beginning, or<br \/>\nshe figured out we were going after sutton anyway. Based on the last<br \/>\nconversation i had with mom, it didn&#8217;t seem like she knew anything about that.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: There&#8217;s another possibility.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knock on door ] Sutton.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Something&#8217;s happened to naya. I haven&#8217;t been able to find her.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: We already know. We checked her suite. She&#8217;s disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: And there&#8217;s no good explanation that we can think of. Unless you&#8217;re<br \/>\nthe one who told her to run. Feeling stressed in your skin?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I am so glad that mariah reached out. I feel like I can finally<br \/>\nbreathe.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Okay, there&#8217;s just one thing I need to say.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No, not until I clear the air.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: No, I&#8217;ll go first.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No, you have to hear this first.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: But after what I say, you might not want to say anything.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I&#8217;ve just been so tightly wound up.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Me too.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: The tension between us is all my fault.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No, no, it was totally my fault.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Let&#8217;s not argue about why we&#8217;re arguing.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You&#8217;re right. Forgiven?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Forgotten. I mean, it never should have happened in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I&#8217;m so sorry that i snapped at you. Just all this uncertainty with<br \/>\nmariah, it really got to me.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Me too. But at least it&#8217;s over.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: And mariah&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: [ Sighs ] I&#8217;m just so glad that it&#8217;s not what I was afraid of, that<br \/>\nsome lowlife from my past came to put mariah in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, it&#8217;s just crazy how your mind can fill in all of the blanks when<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t know the full story. Even though our fears were implausible, they felt<br \/>\nreal.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Just I&#8217;m the person who knows mariah the best.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] I just &#8212; I don&#8217;t know, I figured that the mood swings were from<br \/>\nthe pregnancy, but it was a reaction to me.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: And me.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Lesson learned.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: We have to do better.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: And we will.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: If I knew where naya was, you think I&#8217;d be coming to you for help?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Is that why you came here?<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Not everything I do has a sinister motive. You used to know that,<br \/>\nimani.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, you&#8217;re only up to something 90% of the time. So coming here,<br \/>\nacting worried, like you need our assistance, that&#8217;s exactly what you would do<br \/>\nif you were behind naya&#8217;s disappearance.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: What have I done to deserve this suspicion?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Besides arranging my father&#8217;s murder?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Amanda, not now, please.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: What good does this nonsense do us? I thought we were past that.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Oh, we were never past it, and you know it. It just went unsaid<br \/>\nbecause we both had an agenda that we were keeping close to the vest. Well, now<br \/>\nI think that it&#8217;s time that we stop pretending. So I want you to know &#8212; I&#8217;m<br \/>\ngonna prove that you are guilty of my father&#8217;s murder, not naya. And after<br \/>\neverything that you did today, I&#8217;m gonna make sure that you pay for it. So now,<br \/>\nyou can tell me, where is my mother?<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: I already told you, i don&#8217;t know. And we have to work together to<br \/>\nfind her.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: No, you better worry about your damn self.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: [ Chuckles ] Is that a threat against me?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I will find my mother. I will handle this the way that I have done<br \/>\neverything my entire life &#8212; alone. Now, you took my sister from me. You<br \/>\ndeprived me of my father, and I will be damned if you take my mother from me,<br \/>\ntoo. So you better get the hell out of here. Okay, listen to me right now, we<br \/>\nneed to focus.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Chelsea faked her breakdown?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: To a degree. She wasn&#8217;t well. I mean, no one who did what she did to<br \/>\nrey could be. But she was convinced that I had betrayed her, and her mind took<br \/>\nher to some very dark places.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: This is shocking.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I know.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: And dr. Hedges was involved? He has a good reputation. How could he<br \/>\nbe in the middle of this scheme?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Money. Money talks. And I&#8217;m sure that you&#8217;re wondering how I could just<br \/>\nsit back and go along with victor&#8217;s plan.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Yeah, that is surprising that you agreed, given that her whole<br \/>\nobjective was to frame you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, I had no idea what my father had done. I was on the run. And<br \/>\nthen, when I came back to town&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You were in the hospital&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: &#8230;Donating your kidney.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: When I learned the truth, I kept my mouth shut because I don&#8217;t want<br \/>\nconnor&#8217;s mother to go to prison. I thought going in the mental facility would<br \/>\nhelp her heal. And her confession did clear me.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, now that you explain it, I understand.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Plus, I blame myself for so much of what&#8217;s happened. Chelsea was the<br \/>\none that had a devastating reaction, but I am the one that gave her something to<br \/>\nreact to. A lie about her mental state to get her to the hospital is just the<br \/>\nbeginning of chelsea&#8217;s crimes, but, uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: But what?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I try not to dwell on this, especially with chelsea out of town with<br \/>\nour son, but&#8230; I don&#8217;t know, when push comes to shove, chelsea always reverts<br \/>\nto form.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: But some people might say the same about you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Chuckles ] It&#8217;s very common to have<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The young and the restless&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>will continue.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You are right. Most people will figure any change that I&#8217;m trying to<br \/>\nmake for myself will be temporary or that it&#8217;s all just a show to begin with. I<br \/>\nactually just had a conversation with nikki about that very thing.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I assume she thinks the worst of you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Actually, she is giving me the benefit of the doubt for now. I hope<br \/>\nthat you will have just as much faith that I can pull this off.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You really have to ask?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: There is a certain satisfaction that comes from just putting in the<br \/>\nwork, trying to be a decent person instead of reveling in being the bad guy. You<br \/>\nknow, every day is a new challenge. But I like it.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You&#8217;re taking stock in yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: That&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah, when I think about all the time and energy i invested in creating<br \/>\nconflict, not to mention the weight of all the hate and anger&#8230;it&#8217;s exhausting.<br \/>\nJust wish I had come to this realization a long time ago.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, you know, you can&#8217;t always force change. I think the trick is<br \/>\nyou just stay open-minded about it.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Hmm. Makes me think about how sure chelsea was that I was going to<br \/>\nsteal connor away from her. How primed she was to expect the worst from me. But<br \/>\nmaybe your suggestion that i let connor go with her will pay unintended<br \/>\ndividends.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, I think it could be important that chelsea sees that you trust<br \/>\nher. It could help her heal.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Maybe she&#8217;ll see me in a different light, too.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Since when has it been important to you what other people think?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: It has always been important to me what you think of me. You know that.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Worry about the rest of the world, right? We&#8217;re fine.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mostly. I&#8217;d be lying if I said I didn&#8217;t miss you.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: It&#8217;s probably just, uh, your loneliness talking because your<br \/>\nrelationship with chelsea is irretrievably over and connor&#8217;s out of town.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: It&#8217;s deeper than that, sharon. You know that. And that will never<br \/>\nchange.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I know. Faith&#8217;s waiting for me at home. I have to get going.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, it&#8217;s perfect timing. Finished my coffee. Thank you for staying<br \/>\nopen.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: There is more than enough blame to go around, so i am not gonna let you<br \/>\nhog it all, even though you and mariah are a couple and you&#8217;re very in tune with<br \/>\neach other.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Which is why i should&#8217;ve known that something was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No, I have made so many mistakes. Number one, I mean, I feel like I<br \/>\nknow mariah pretty well, and i had no idea that she was having such a hard time.<br \/>\nI mean, think about it. I mean, I was micro-managing every single thing that<br \/>\nwent into her mouth. I was worrying every time she left the house. It was too<br \/>\nmuch.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Oh, this is so much better. Competing who can take on more blame<br \/>\ninstead of blame each other for mariah running away.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: So much better. You know, when mariah comes back, I am not gonna get an<br \/>\naccount of every single moment of her day.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, and mariah can make her own herbal tea, which i will probably<br \/>\nstill bring to her, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: But I&#8217;m putting my foot down &#8212; she can make it herself.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Please have a seat.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Thank you. I don&#8217;t have much time. I just came from an angry<br \/>\nencounter with my granddaughters.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, boy, I know what that is about. Being at odds with one&#8217;s family<br \/>\nis not nice, is it?<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: It&#8217;s brought me to a new level of clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Ah.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Yeah, I know what to do now.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Really? What&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Well, you give me that letter from richard, and when the day comes<br \/>\nthat you need this favor repaid, it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: About that letter, sutton.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Not gonna give it to you.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: This whole deal was your idea.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yeah, I know. But I thought about it, you know? I realized that<br \/>\namanda would have far better use for it than you do.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: What kind of game are you playing?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Ain&#8217;t playing a game.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: You said you had no allegiance to amanda.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Nothing to do with her. It has everything to do with not wanting to<br \/>\nhelp you. Now, you and I, sutton, have played on the edges of legality for a<br \/>\nwhile, you know? But this is different. I mean, you committed a crime. You<br \/>\nbetrayed your family. And that I have no tolerance for. Don&#8217;t settle for<br \/>\nproducts that give you a sort of white smile.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I mean, the way I see it, this is all good news, &#8217;cause mariah&#8217;s<br \/>\ntaking care of herself and the baby, and she&#8217;s checked in, like the responsible<br \/>\nadult that she is. And the tension between the two of you seems to be gone.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes, that&#8217;s true. We&#8217;re in a good place again.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yes, and more importantly, tessa and I were just discussing how we want<br \/>\nto rethink things for when mariah comes home.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Which she said would be in time for her next doctor&#8217;s appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Good, good. Is something wrong, tessa?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I don&#8217;t want to rain on any parades, but look,<\/p>\n<p>[Sighs] I&#8217;ve said it before. She could&#8217;ve called. All of us. Or just one of<br \/>\nus, because she knew that we would worry, but she only reaches out through text?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Maybe it&#8217;s because she&#8217;s that if she hears one of our voices, she&#8217;ll be<br \/>\ntempted to come home before she&#8217;s ready.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I guess.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You know what? I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but when mariah returns, I<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t want her to feel a bit of pressure. All I want her to feel are little,<br \/>\ntiny baby kicks from inside from a baby who&#8217;s eager to meet all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Amen.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sutton, you&#8217;re the head of your family. There&#8217;s no greater<br \/>\nresponsibility. You were given the gift of two beautiful twin granddaughters.<br \/>\nYou didn&#8217;t protect them. Didn&#8217;t do a damn thing for them. You turned your back<br \/>\non them. Why? To protect your own rear end.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: I did what I had to do.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: That&#8217;s what all politicians say.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: You are no better than me. I&#8217;ve heard all the stories about your<br \/>\nawful relationships with your own children.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You haven&#8217;t heard all of them. There were many. And I have made<br \/>\nmistakes. I admit to it. But one dictum, one mantra I&#8217;ve always lived by &#8212; I<br \/>\nnever turn my back on my family. I never leave them to their own devices. That&#8217;s<br \/>\nwhy I&#8217;ve created this new company with my son adam. The guy that a lot of people<br \/>\nhad given up for a lost cause. That&#8217;s why I appointed my daughter victoria to<br \/>\nrun newman enterprises, a company that I created. You turned your back on your<br \/>\nfamily out of selfishness. Now you&#8217;re paying for that.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: You&#8217;ve always had your billions of dollars to buy your way out of<br \/>\nyour problems. I don&#8217;t have that luxury. I had to remain untouchable. My power<br \/>\nbase has to be secure. That&#8217;s the only way I can ensure my family comes first.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: And richard nealon, amanda&#8217;s father, got in the way of that?<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Uh-huh. Yeah, richard&#8230; he was trouble. Naya deserved so much more.<br \/>\nHe wasn&#8217;t like us. It&#8217;s a miracle that somebody with his background even made it<br \/>\nto college. And my pride and joy had to go and get herself pregnant with that&#8230;<br \/>\nwell, if that meant that two accidents of birth had to be sacrificed, then, by<br \/>\ngod, so be it.<\/p>\n<p>[ Stammers ] It was for the greater good.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: I can live with what I&#8217;ve done. Richard was a nobody. He was a gnat.<br \/>\nAnd he could&#8217;ve brought down everything I&#8217;d worked for. Well, that was a risk I<br \/>\nwas not willing to take. Now give me the damn letter.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: What letter is that, sutton?<\/p>\n<p>[ Door opens ]<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I&#8217;d like to hear that answer, too, grandfather. What letter? Are you<br \/>\ntired of clean clothes that just don&#8217;t smell clean?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Alright. Well, now that I know everything is cool with mariah and that<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re feeling better about everything, I should probably go and check on<br \/>\namanda, &#8217;cause she&#8217;s been having a tough time tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Oh, I hope everything&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, thank you. If it&#8217;s not, I know she&#8217;ll make it right, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Hey, devon, um, before you go, I &#8212; I just wanted to thank you for<br \/>\ntalking me down earlier, reminding me of what chance would say in a stressful<br \/>\nsituation. It really helped.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I&#8217;m glad it did. You have a really good guy who loves you, puts you<br \/>\nfirst and foremost, so hang on to him.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I will. I&#8217;m very lucky to have you remind me of that.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: I don&#8217;t know how much you heard &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: We heard more than enough.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Well, I&#8217;ll deny it. Every word &#8212; it was all said in the heat of the<br \/>\nmoment.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Well, we recorded every word. So you can deny it all you want, but<br \/>\nthis is exactly what I need to save my mother and to prove that you are the one<br \/>\nwho had my father killed. Victor knew exactly what to say to keep you talking.<br \/>\nOh, and by the way? There is no letter. There never was.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: These charges will never stick.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton: Amanda, just tell me what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I want my father back, you son of a bitch.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I don&#8217;t need any saving. I didn&#8217;t come here to cry on your shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You can, sharon. Okay? You can be or feel anything you want with me.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You know, you&#8217;ve convinced yourself that you&#8217;re damaged somehow and<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re flawed and beyond saving, but, you know, that&#8217;s not true. Yeah, you&#8217;re in<br \/>\na dark place right now, but I can see the path &#8212; light and hope &#8212; and I just<br \/>\n&#8212; I want to help you find that. I want to.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You know that i would &#8212; I would do anything to take this all away.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I can&#8217;t imagine what my life would be like right now if you hadn&#8217;t<br \/>\nrescued her. I know I &#8212; know I-I couldn&#8217;t survive the loss of another child.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, I&#8217;m just glad i was in the right place at the right time. Anyone<br \/>\nwould have done the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: But I know that you put your freedom at risk in order to do it. So,<br \/>\nno&#8230;not just anyone would have made that choice. I&#8217;ll never forget what you<br \/>\nwere willing to sacrifice for faith and me.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: When I was trapped with nick, I&#8217;ve realized that you are a part of me,<br \/>\nsharon. And you always will be. There&#8217;s no denying it. I told myself that I was<br \/>\nleaving to protect you, to protect everyone, but&#8230; no matter how fast or far<br \/>\naway i run, you will always be right there with me. The fact that I&#8217;m standing<br \/>\nhere right now is just further proof of that.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: No, you&#8217;re here for faith, nothing more.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Sharon&#8230; just hear me out, okay? Before nick found me, I had a lot of<br \/>\ntime alone. He only knew where to find me because of you and your insight&#8230;<br \/>\ninto me. You&#8217;ve always understood how my mind works. I mean, even when I had<br \/>\nforgotten who I was, and I was living in vegas. And after I learned what I had<br \/>\ndone to A.J. Montalvo as a kid, you see me, sharon. You see me in a way no one&#8217;s<br \/>\nbeen able to do&#8230; not even chelsea. And I don&#8217;t expect anything to ever come of<br \/>\nit, because I know nothing can come of it.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You say all these beautiful words, these&#8230; seductive and tempting<br \/>\nwords, but&#8230;here is the truth, adam. I can&#8217;t be that for you. I can&#8217;t &#8212; I<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t be that for you. You &#8212; you have got to accept that you and I are not<br \/>\ngoing to get back together.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Because of rey? I mean, can you honestly compare your feelings for him<br \/>\nto what you and I shared?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: No, I cannot because I&#8217;ll never love him the way that I loved you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: So let&#8217;s not waste any more time.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: But that doesn&#8217;t mean that my love for rey isn&#8217;t strong. He &#8212; he<br \/>\nsupports me. He builds me up. He gives me strength. Whereas, with you&#8230; things<br \/>\nare just complicated. You have to get better for the sake of your family!<\/p>\n<p>Adam: No. No. What I need is to get out of genoa city with my family. That is<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s gonna make me heal, okay? Or call the judge, okay? Call the judge. Tell<br \/>\nhim you&#8217;ve made a mistake. Tell him that you saw me, you&#8217;ve spent time with me,<br \/>\nand you&#8217;ve realized that you made a mistake, okay? If I ever meant anything to<br \/>\nyou, sharon, fix this. Okay? Save me.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I can&#8217;T. You know that. You know that.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Okay? I&#8217;m very tired.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Alright, well, try to rest.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I just &#8212; I don&#8217;t know if I can.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I&#8217;ll help you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, um&#8230; will you stay?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I&#8217;ll be right here. I&#8217;m not going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You and I &#8212; we had a lifetime of history before I ever met chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, maybe that&#8217;s just what it is. It&#8217;s history. You know, you can&#8217;t<br \/>\njust compartmentalize whole relationships of this scope.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: That &#8212; that is shrink talk. Your training &#8212; it doesn&#8217;t apply to us.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no chapter in that psychology textbook that can explain you and me.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You love chelsea, okay? Not me.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Don&#8217;t push me away. You will never love rey the way that you love me.<br \/>\nThis &#8212; you and I &#8212; it is meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I-I can&#8217;T. I-I won&#8217;T.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Sharon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/24\/yrtrans\/\">Back to the Y&amp;R Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"202\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Transcript Transcript provided by Suzanne Sutton: This is sutton.
