How are you?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Uh&#8230;fine, fine. Good to see you, nate.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Glad I ran into you. I was gonna call you. I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about your proposal that I come and work for newman\/locke.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What you said about the difference I could make in the world, using the company&#8217;s resources to have an impact on healthcare on a global scale, really excited me.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: I thought you might find that appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Of course, we need to discuss the details of the job before I could officially commit, but I&#8217;m leaning towards yes.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Fantastic. Good to see you, nate. We&#8217;ll talk.<\/p>\n<p>[ Clears throat ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Is there a problem?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Tell me what? What is it that dad is supposed to say to me?<\/p>\n<p>Nick: What do you mean? Dad &#8212; dad talked to you. You already know.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Do I?<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Look, I didn&#8217;t come here to cause you problems, vick. I just wanted to see how you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Why are you not telling me the truth? That is the one thing that I can always count on with you. No matter what, even if we&#8217;re disagreeing, you never lie to me.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: What am I lying about?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You didn&#8217;t come here to check on me. You are concerned about me for some reason, so tell me &#8212; what is it? Alright, then I&#8217;m gonna find out for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: [ Sighs ] Vick, is this necessary?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You have all made it necessary by conspiring behind my back.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Conspiring?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I know you&#8217;re angry with me, but there&#8217;s no reason for you to throw accusations around.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, then will someone please tell me what&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You already know what&#8217;s going on. I asked you and ashland to hold off on signing that binding contract that makes both of you co-ceos. Let&#8217;s find out how his health is doing, how he&#8217;s recovering.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I know what you asked me, but now I need to know what you&#8217;re keeping from me.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: This is it. I mean, this is the address that was mentioned in all those mysterious texts.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: This is keemo&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yeah, somebody obviously wanted you to come here.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d feel this nervous. I&#8230;I don&#8217;t know, maybe it&#8217;s the unknown and not knowing who or what&#8217;s gonna meet me on the other side of that door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Hello! No one&#8217;s home.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Well, it seems that way. Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, we can&#8217;t &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: It&#8217;s unlocked.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, no, what &#8212; we can&#8217;t just walk in.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Well, we didn&#8217;t come all this way to stand on the front step.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: We didn&#8217;t come all this way to trespass either.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay, well, obviously the person who is sending you the texts, they wanted you to come here. They wanted you to walk in.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, there&#8217;s some world-class rationalization.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: It&#8217;s not a rationalization. This is your son&#8217;s house. I mean, it &#8212; it&#8217;s basically &#8212; it&#8217;s not trespassing.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: No, according to the law, this is trespassing.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: No, it&#8217;s not. There was no next-of-kin mentioned in the obituary. There was no wife, no &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Jack: No, they didn&#8217;t even mention his half-sister and, my god, she&#8217;s been out of the country for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay. So since nobody else was mentioned, you might be the next-of-kin.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I don&#8217;t know, it just &#8212; it just doesn&#8217;t feel right.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Jack, we didn&#8217;t come all this way for nothing. We need answers. You need answers. This is where we start.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: [ Exhales sharply ] Goal!<\/p>\n<p>Additional sponsorship<\/p>\n<p>provided by&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Jack: O-okay, let&#8217;s do this.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay. You first.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Hello! Hello? Is anyone home?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Huh. Doesn&#8217;t look like anybody&#8217;s here and, um, somebody was obviously packing.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, the question is who.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: A friend?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: God, I would like to think keemo had someone close in his life.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Maybe it&#8217;s the person who was sending the texts.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Doesn&#8217;t make sense. We have all these questions, no answers. Someone wanted me to come to los angeles to an empty house to find what? There&#8217;s nothing here. And just standing here, I feel like I&#8217;m trespassing.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Um&#8230;why would you feel that way? Listen, you just said there&#8217;s nothing here. It&#8217;s not like we&#8217;ve uncovered some deep, dark secret.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I feel like keemo wouldn&#8217;t want me here. He made it very clear he wanted no part of me in his life. He wanted nothing to do with a father at all.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Maybe you can think of this as a way to reconnect with him in some way?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: That&#8217;s the thing &#8212; keemo died not wanting to reconnect with me.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: I&#8217;m sorry, nate, and please don&#8217;t read anything into my mood at the moment. Huh?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Is everything alright?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Yes, everything&#8217;s absolutely fine, and I&#8217;m no less enthusiastic about the possibility of you joining us at newman\/locke than I was the day I made the offer. I&#8217;m thrilled that you&#8217;re actually considering it.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m glad.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: We need to have a significant conversation about this. The problem is I&#8217;m late for an appointment, and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m a little distracted right now, so how about if we plan on some dinner sometime this week? How&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;d like that, but are you sure you&#8217;re okay? You seem frazzled, and don&#8217;t take this the wrong way, but you look a little unwell.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Don&#8217;t worry about me, I&#8217;m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Yeah? You don&#8217;t sound fine. What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Nothing. It&#8217;s &#8212; I&#8217;m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Okay, look, I don&#8217;t mean to pry, but I&#8217;m concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Seriously, it&#8217;s &#8212; it&#8217;s just&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] Okay, okay. I &#8212; it&#8217;s stupid of me to try to fool you. I, um&#8230;I&#8217;m not feeling 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What&#8217;s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: The old symptoms &#8212; fatigue, occasional shortness of breath &#8212; they&#8217;ve come back. And it&#8217;s made me a little nervous.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Nicholas assumed that dad had told me something, but when I asked what that something might be, he wasn&#8217;t very forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I was just trying to explain &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I think that maybe you were trying to cover something up. So tell me, dad, what is this about? Is this really about ashland becoming co-ceo or is there something else, given that you seem to be spying on us lately?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I don&#8217;t need to spy. My name is on this damn building.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Look, vick, you&#8217;re making a big deal out of this. It&#8217;s nothing. I thought dad had talked to you about not signing the co-ceo contract, but then I saw you react so I couldn&#8217;t be sure. That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Nicholas, you don&#8217;t have any business knowing that information. You don&#8217;t even work here.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Well, I&#8217;m your brother, and I care about you. That means I care about how everything in this building affects you.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: We all care, darling. Nicholas is just looking after you.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Just as I do when i ask you to hold off on signing the damn contract. It&#8217;s better for you and ashland.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: What do you mean &#8220;why&#8221;? He just left to go home in the middle of the day to rest.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: [ Scoffs ] So what?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: That&#8217;s why I believe he&#8217;s not 100%. I think you should leave the story of your positions and titles alone for now.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: For how long?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Until we find out how his health is doing. You&#8217;ve been running this company by yourself and done a damn good job.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Ashland&#8217;s increased presence at newman\/locke will only strengthen it.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You&#8217;ve assembled a very good team with him and your mother as coo. Why change that?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I know there&#8217;s something else going on here. It&#8217;s just that none of you are willing to admit it. So until somebody wants to come clean and tell me, this conversation is over. And now I&#8217;m gonna go home and check on my husband, who&#8217;s feeling under the weather, and that&#8217;s all. And I&#8217;m telling you for the last time &#8212; stay out of my business and leave me and ashland alone. When I get a migraine,<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Listen, I can&#8217;t possibly understand what you&#8217;re going through. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s just a swirl of emotions, but I just want you to know I&#8217;m here for you. Take all the time you need.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Thank you for that.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: But I&#8217;m not gonna let you second-guess yourself, jack. I mean, you could&#8217;ve blown off those texts, and you didn&#8217;T. This is a journey you wanted to take, and&#8230;I&#8217;m here with you. It&#8217;s a way to reconnect with your son in some way.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, a little late for that, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I don&#8217;t think it is. I mean, you can find out the man he became, the man you didn&#8217;t know. Hey, at least we could find out who&#8217;s been texting you.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: That &#8212; that i definitely want to know.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Yes, and you deserve to know that.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: So we are not leaving. We&#8217;re getting some answers. We didn&#8217;t fly all the way here to spend the night in a hotel room and then leave the next morning. Let&#8217;s dig in and get the answers.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, if I left now, it &#8212; it would just haunt me. I want to know who reached out to me. More than that, I want to know something about keemo&#8217;s life. I&#8230;I want to know that the world he built for himself had some happiness in it, even if it didn&#8217;t include me.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: So let me get this straight &#8212; victoria wants to make ashland her co-ceo.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: His idea.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: This guy&#8217;s unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: He is inching closer and closer to wanting to take over the whole damn thing.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Allegedly.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Mom, don&#8217;t give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, he&#8217;s lying about being sick, about getting some miraculous cure all so he can get his hands on the company.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I am just saying, there may be other information that we don&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: We have enough.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Alright, I admit, things aren&#8217;t looking good for ashland, and I advised victoria to not sign the contract.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Obviously, she didn&#8217;t listen. And clearly you haven&#8217;t told her that he&#8217;s lying about being sick.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I will not tell her anything unless there&#8217;s no other option left.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I&#8217;m just not comfortable keeping these secrets from victoria while you figure out how you&#8217;re gonna deal with ashland in whatever covert way you settle on.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I will take care of things.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I don&#8217;t doubt that, dad. But you don&#8217;t know how it&#8217;s gonna play out. Victoria&#8217;s already furious at us.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Too bad that she&#8217;s furious. Beats the alternative &#8212; that guy taking over our family&#8217;s business.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: This is exactly why i wanted to just stay out of it. But I can&#8217;t turn my back on victoria, and I got to make sure that ashland gets everything he deserves.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Son, I told you, i will take care of everything.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I hope you&#8217;re right.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: How often are you experiencing these symptoms?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Not frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What does that mean? Four or five times a day? Once a month?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Couple times a week, maybe a little tired, a little light-headed, but it&#8217;s manageable.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Yeah, it&#8217;s manageable now, but what if it gets worse?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Stammers ] Maybe it&#8217;s just a bug.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: A bug, that&#8217;s your diagnosis?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ] I don&#8217;t have your medical expertise, but I don&#8217;t really think there&#8217;s any reason to jump to the worst possible conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: There&#8217;s every reason in the world to do that. You&#8217;re not in the position to take chances. You need to see your oncologist, have some tests run.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: I&#8217;ve already made that call. In fact, that&#8217;s the appointment I was talking about earlier. That &#8212; I&#8217;m on my way there now.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What are you waiting for? Go.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: You &#8212; I was going, and you stopped me, and now we&#8217;re talking.<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Would you like me to come along? You know, just for support. It might help to have a friend in the room who happens to be a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: No, that&#8217;s not necessary, but I really do appreciate the hell out of it. You are a good man, nate. I&#8217;ll tell you what. I will call you and tell you what happens at the appointment, and we&#8217;ll set up the dinner for later in the week because we need to talk about your future.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I look forward to that.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Hey. I just stopped by the house to check on you, but you weren&#8217;t there. Where did you go? I&#8217;m at crimson lights, and I&#8217;m getting ready to head back to the office, but I want you to call me, ashland. I&#8217;m a little bit worried about you. Hello, how can I?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I think nicholas is right to be concerned. When you confronted ashland and demanded that he leave town, he didn&#8217;t blink. He didn&#8217;t confess. He didn&#8217;t have any remorse at all.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: He&#8217;ll be gone soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, he didn&#8217;t agree to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: He will if he knows what&#8217;s best for him.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: [ Sighs ] Victor, you have him trapped in a corner. And that&#8217;s when men like ashland are most dangerous. I mean, you know how he is. He &#8212; he won&#8217;t back down from a fight, same as you. And he&#8217;s desperate. I just worry that you have less of a handle on this situation than you think you do.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: If he tries anything, I will show him no mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, hey, victoria. What can I get you?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Coffee to go, please.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Okay. Is everything alright?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes, everything&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;m just busy. Has ashland stopped in here today?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: No, I haven&#8217;t seen him. Why? You seem worried.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, maybe I am a little bit. He said that he wasn&#8217;t feeling well, and I thought that he went home to rest, but when I went to the house to check on him, he wasn&#8217;t there. I guess I ought to know by now that he&#8217;s not one to sit around doing nothing, even though he should.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Yeah, some people don&#8217;t know when to stop. But I hope he&#8217;ll take care of himself.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, me too.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You know, if I see him, I&#8217;ll tell him that you&#8217;re looking for him, and then I&#8217;ll tell him to go straight home and rest.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Thank you, sharon.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Hey. Can we talk?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I was just leaving.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Just one minute.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Okay, fine, one minute.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, I don&#8217;t like the way things unfolded at the office. I do not want to get caught up in the middle of something with you, dad, and ashland.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It seems that you know more about what&#8217;s going on than I do, and you just don&#8217;t want to say anything to me.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I just &#8212; I need you to know that my only concern is you and that you can rely on me for anything. We haven&#8217;t been the same since your wedding, and I hate that. But don&#8217;t shut me out, alright? Can you meet me halfway on this?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Wow. Well, the rest of the house is as empty as this room.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Is this the room he spent most of his time in? Think he woke up early for california sunrise? Was there &#8212; was there laughter and music and raucous joy in this house or was this a quiet, contemplative space? I&#8230; that&#8217;s the hard part. I&#8217;m trying to piece together the life of someone that was very important to me, who I don&#8217;t &#8212; I don&#8217;t feel like I knew at all.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: For what it&#8217;s worth, I think you&#8217;re doing a great job.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I should know so much more. I&#8217;m sorry, I&#8230; was this his favorite place to sit? Was this&#8230;was this where he&#8217;d read a book or where he&#8217;d write or&#8230; oh, my god.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: What is it?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Oh, my god.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: What?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: These are letters to me. They all have the same return address &#8212; keemo nguyen, at this address. There&#8217;s no stamp. These were letters to me that he never sent.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I mean, it seems like he wanted to reach out to you. Listen, um&#8230;this is the only box in the place, so obviously it was left here for you.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Apparently.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Listen, um&#8230;I&#8217;m gonna leave you alone with this, okay? I saw a coffee shop down the way, and I&#8217;ll just &#8212; and you can give me a call.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: No, no, no, no. I don&#8217;t want to be alone. Would you stay? I&#8217;d like you to be here with me.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Covid-19 moves fast,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The young and the restless&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>will continue.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I thought that we were getting back to normal, nicholas. And I really don&#8217;t want to lose the progress that we&#8217;ve made either, but after what happened today, it&#8217;s kind of hard to believe that you&#8217;re on my side.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I am, always.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I still know that you don&#8217;t like or respect ashland, and it breaks my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I&#8217;m trying. Alright? I&#8217;m really trying. Can you accept that?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: That&#8217;s all I want is for my family to accept ashland and to just respect my relationship with him and stop trying to undermine my happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: What is going on here?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Laughs ] Hello, sweetheart. I got your message that you were here. Hello, nick.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Ashland.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Um, I couldn&#8217;t help but overhear what you were saying, and I just want to go on the record that victoria speaks for me as well. We both want the same thing. For you to see how much I love her and care about her and that I would do anything to make her happy.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: He signs all of them with his birth name &#8212; &#8220;keemo.&#8221; Not hao. And he&#8217;s clearly working through all these conflicting feelings about me. I don&#8217;t think he ever intended to mail any of these. I think this was purely therapeutic.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I mean, I don&#8217;t want to pry, but if you want to share any of them, I&#8217;m happy to listen.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, let me show you something. &#8220;I said I&#8217;d forgiven you, and i tried to let everything that happened go, but after I left genoa city, something inside me could not let me be at peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay. Does it make you feel better that he was conflicted?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, maybe a little. Here. Um&#8230; alright. &#8220;I want you to know that I&#8217;m sorry about those angry e-mails I sent. I became consumed by grief and rage I felt over the time I lost with my mother. I wonder how different things would&#8217;ve been if I&#8217;d known she was dying.&#8221; Luan didn&#8217;t want anyone to know that she was ill. She didn&#8217;t want to burden anyone. I&#8230; she didn&#8217;t tell me. I found out by accident. Kept it to myself.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Listen, that must&#8217;ve been very difficult for you to keep that from everybody, including her.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, I didn&#8217;t tell keemo because I thought I was honoring his mother&#8217;s wishes, and&#8230;our son could not, would not accept that.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Well, that was very difficult for you, I&#8217;m sure, keeping that secret. You know, and I&#8217;m sure that you thought maybe, with time, keemo would get past it.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: NO.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ] He&#8230;he kind of did. Is this it? Yeah. &#8220;I finally found some peace. I changed my name to hao nguyen. It was my maternal grandfather&#8217;s name. Now I&#8217;m honoring my mother&#8217;s memory. I am freed from the conflict of being jack abbott&#8217;s son. I feel like I&#8217;m on a new path.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: You&#8217;re a wonderful man. You are. And you&#8217;re an incredible father. You would&#8217;ve been an amazing father to keemo if he would have let you.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, it seemed he found a way to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Did he really? Did he move on? Or did he just let this fester?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Is this the one? Yeah. &#8220;I&#8217;m no longer angry, but i can&#8217;t look back for fear that rage will return. So while I&#8217;ve forgiven you, i can&#8217;t ever have a relationship with you. It&#8217;s better for everyone. I hope that you can understand that and forgive me. Your son, keemo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Jack, you&#8217;re being very selfless. The path that keemo chose, it was good for him, it was not good for you.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: No, it was not.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: No.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I hate that he never felt comfortable enough to reach out to me, to respond to my correspondences. I&#8217;M&#8230; I&#8217;m glad at least he found some forgiveness in his heart at the very end.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: How do you know it was the end?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, I &#8212; every one of these letters was written in the last 12 months. It&#8217;s as if he knew he didn&#8217;t have much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Well, the obituary said that he died of a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, and I know and that&#8217;s very sudden, but maybe he was diagnosed with some kind of condition, and&#8230;and that&#8217;s why he was working through all of this. Maybe, was this &#8212; was this about a health condition? Oh, god, there are so many questions.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: And we&#8217;re gonna get the answers. We are. I promise you.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: There, my darling.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, nate! How are you?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Excellent. Always good to see the two of you.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, thank you. You as well.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You&#8217;ll be seeing more of dr. Hastings at newman towers.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m considering taking a job with newman\/locke.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: You would really leave medicine?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Sometimes need to make a change to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, well, it can get very interesting at newman\/locke. But as the person in charge of operations, I&#8217;d prefer it didn&#8217;T. I &#8212; I like smooth sailing.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I promise not to rock that boat.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Huh, wow. Well, I guess memorial&#8217;s loss is our gain. I hope I get to welcome you to the team.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Me too.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You mean the deal is not done yet?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: No, I still have to hash things out with ashland. I saw him earlier, and we were trying to set up a time to talk things through.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You saw ashland today?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: He was just here.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh. Huh.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Um, how did he seem?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, I don&#8217;t know, just physically, did he seem okay?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Last time we spoke, you were asking me about his condition.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Dr. Hastings, ashland is now a member of our family, you know. We&#8217;re concerned about him. And when we saw him earlier, he had a hard time breathing, so you didn&#8217;t see anything wrong with him?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: You don&#8217;t need to worry about victoria, especially where I&#8217;m concerned. And besides, she does not need protecting.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: [ Clears throat ] That is good to know.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Chuckles ] You know, I think it would mean a lot to her if she knew you were on her side.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I was just telling him that.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I&#8217;m always on her side.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I want to believe that.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: You should. It&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Well, that&#8217;s fantastic. I just want victoria to have anything her heart desires, so how about this, nick? Why don&#8217;t we all just work together, hmm?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Ashland, nice to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Ah.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I made your favorite. I&#8217;m sorry to interrupt, but i have some news about mariah and tessa I want to talk to you about. If you don&#8217;t mind that I steal him for a minute.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: No.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: We&#8217;ll talk later. Hey, thanks for the coffee. I don&#8217;t remember ordering it.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: You didn&#8217;T. I just thought you needed it.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Okay, what&#8217;s going on with tessa and mariah?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: They have decided on a wedding idea, but that was just an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Excuse for what?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I just really wanted to get you away from ashland. Nick, I&#8217;ve known you a long time, and I know that you were a split second away from doing something you would regret. You can&#8217;t go back in there.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone remembers the<\/p>\n<p>moment they heard,<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: The backyard is extraordinary. It&#8217;s gorgeous. There&#8217;s a garden and an orange tree, so many flowers. You want to go back there?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You know, I think we should leave.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Oh. I don&#8217;t think so. Look, there are so many more letters to go through.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You know what? It&#8217;s &#8212; it&#8217;s kind of overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I&#8217;m sure it is. You can&#8217;t stop now.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You try to make the right choices, you&#8230;try to make the world a better place, you try to help, and you look back and all you can see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: What is this?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: What? What is it?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: It&#8217;s a picture of keemo with two women and a young girl.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: He looks so happy.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: There&#8217;s something written on the back.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: &#8220;Vietnam, june 2012.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I was this close to losing it with ashland. You know, telling him what i think about him and all the lies he&#8217;s told. But it would&#8217;ve been a disaster. Thanks for interrupting.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: And you would&#8217;ve made a scene in my coffee house, and I can&#8217;t let that happen.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: It would&#8217;ve just come back to bite me. I mean, ashland would&#8217;ve denied it, vick would&#8217;ve sided with him. She&#8217;s already on the defensive.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Why do you say that?<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I went to check on her earlier and kind of created this accidental minefield with her and the parents, but, uh&#8230; it&#8217;s okay &#8217;cause dad has a plan.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Of course he does.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I don&#8217;t know any of the details, but dad seems to think he can get ashland out of our lives for good without victoria ever knowing the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I&#8217;m just worried about the fallout from all of this. It&#8217;s gonna take a toll on your whole family. I&#8217;m so sorry this is happening.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Thanks. I really appreciate you pulling me away from that, and knowing that you are always there for me.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Anytime.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Victor, you know how i feel about disclosing medical information.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Nate, you made your stance clear last time we talked.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: So you can see why I&#8217;d be reluctant to give an opinion about ashland&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: But I&#8217;m not asking for test results. I just want to know if you thought he looked healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: He did seem a bit under the weather, but that could be stress or just a common cold. It&#8217;s best not to presume anything.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: You&#8217;re right, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Thank you for stopping by.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Bye, nate.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: [ Sighs ] You mean the fact that ashland came here instead of going home like he said he would?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: It was a lie.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I know you think he&#8217;s lying about everything.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Because he is.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Maybe he just wanted to stop and pick up some food on the way home. Maybe he wasn&#8217;t acting at all. Maybe he just isn&#8217;t feeling well.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sweetheart, that&#8217;s the least likely of all possibilities, alright?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m still struggling with the idea that he lied about his condition.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: And I understand how you&#8217;d want to think that way, for victoria&#8217;s sake. I&#8217;m telling you he has deceived our daughter in the most profound way.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: What if the information that michael got in peru is wrong? I mean, maybe those doctors just said what they thought you wanted to hear in the hopes of a big payout.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sweetheart, how long has michael baldwin been my lawyer? I trust that man.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I understand that. I am just saying that we need to really be certain about this situation because the stakes are too high. So before you do anything, we need more information.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: I hope we were able to get through to nick.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Time will tell. Right now, I&#8217;m still a little bit more concerned about you. If you&#8217;re not feeling well, you shouldn&#8217;t be out, you should be at home in bed.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: No, I&#8217;m &#8212; really, I&#8217;m much better now.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, I&#8217;m still worried about you, and I hope that my father&#8217;s interference in our plans didn&#8217;t contribute to how you&#8217;re feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: It was just a momentary thing. I&#8217;m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: [ Sighs ] Good. And I want you to know that I am still 100% committed to moving forward with the co-ceo arrangement. Have you signed the contract yet?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Not yet. Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Why not?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Oh. Sorry. Mm, okay. Um, I&#8217;m sorry, where were we?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I asked you if you had a chance to sign the contract.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Right. Uh&#8230;no. Victoria&#8230;there&#8217;s something I need to tell you about your father.<\/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 Nate: Ashland, hey.
