So, what have you and jill decided about me buying back hamilton-winters?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Look, devon, first i just want to say that we both understand all of the reasons you have for wanting to take your company back. We know this is deeply, deeply personal for you.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: And I appreciate you understanding that. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Jill wants to move forward with the ipo.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Alright. And what does that mean for me?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Look, devon, the strength that we have lies in the unity of our two companies. And if we do this split, we could crush our chances of having a successful offering.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So&#8230; so, as much as you understand where I&#8217;m coming from, you&#8217;re rejecting what I&#8217;m asking for?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, that&#8217;s &#8212; that&#8217;s what it boils down to.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Um, cool. Then I guess you&#8217;re gonna make this ugly.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Sharon.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Hi, abby. Uh, what can we get you?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, um, a coffee and&#8230; your forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: What? Why?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: For storming out of here and making a scene the other day. I&#8217;m sure you heard what chance and I were talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I&#8217;m just &#8212; I&#8217;m absolutely mortified. I had no idea that things were gonna escalate that quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Look, I understand how hard the end of a marriage can be, whatever the circumstances are.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I can only imagine what you think of me.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: No, no, I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m quite fond of you. And devon and &#8212; and chance. That hasn&#8217;t changed. You know, you&#8217;ve all had a rough few years.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: And the hits keep coming.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, I want you to know I have no interest in passing any judgment or in discussing your personal life with anyone else, just in case you were worried.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Hi!<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Hi! We&#8217;re home!<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Hi!<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Did you miss us?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Yes! Oh, my gosh! I was beginning to worry. You girls were gone for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Hi!<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: I had to practically stop myself from texting every hour on the hour to see how things were going. So, how did it go with the potential birth mother?<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Hey there. Come on in. Johnny, someone&#8217;s very excited to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Hey. What took you so long?<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Math. I thought I&#8217;d never finish my homework. Just wait until you get to my grade. The word problems feel like some kind of punishment.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: When I get to be ancient like you, maybe you can teach me how to do them. Unless you&#8217;ve forgotten by then. I know how hard it is to remember things when you get to be old &#8212; like you.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: [ Chuckling ] Ouch! Why don&#8217;t you both go get something to drink? Dinner&#8217;s on the way.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ] Uh, thank you for letting johnny come over for pizza. I know it means a lot to the boys.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I know it means a lot to you, too.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Um, would it be okay if he stayed after dinner to watch a movie with connor?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It is a school night, so I &#8212; I guess we&#8217;ll have to play that by ear.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Sure, sure. We&#8217;re flexible.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Hey, guys. Billy&#8217;s hit a snag. The pizza is gonna be late.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: That&#8217;s okay. Tell him to get two.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Yeah, we&#8217;re working up an appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: I bet you are.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Let&#8217;s go to my room.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: It&#8217;s really sweet. They get along so well.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah, it&#8217;s easy at their age to go with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Hey, um, do you have a minute, or do you have to run off somewhere?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh, I &#8212; I have a little while before I have to scoop katie up from ballet. Why? Is there something that you wanted to discuss?<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: There is, actually. I know you said you were okay with johnny coming to dinner, but [Sighs] You&#8217;re not happy about it, are you? I&#8217;m jonathan lawson<\/p>\n<p>Additional sponsorship<\/p>\n<p>provided by&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Oh, my gosh, I should just settle down and let you girls catch your breath. Um, they went to portland, oregon. I don&#8217;t know how much you know, abby.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, well, nick just told me that they were meeting with a birth mother, but that&#8217;s all I know.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Her name is delphine.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: She&#8217;s in her early 20s. She is going to college. She&#8217;s getting her bachelor&#8217;s degree. She is smart and thoughtful.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: And she and the baby daddy are no longer together. She&#8217;s completely on her own. But after a lot of soul searching, she decided that she didn&#8217;t want to be a mother yet.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, she decided adoption was the best thing for her and her baby.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: She had a million questions for us, uh, probably just as many as we did for her.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, like what?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I mean, everything from, &#8220;what&#8217;s your favorite color?&#8221; To, &#8220;what&#8217;s your medical history?&#8221; I mean, if you name it, we asked.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: And after the first meeting, uh, we decided it just wasn&#8217;t enough time to get to know her better, so we decided to do breakfast the next day. And then breakfast turned into a trip to the zoo and then seeing some of the sights.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, we just really wanted to spend time together and get to know each other better. And I got to see how my beautiful wife carves out time for work.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: And I got to be there while tessa wrote some songs. Working remotely definitely has its privileges.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, it sounds like you got a wonderful trip.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Yeah, we did. Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: It was scary and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Um, so, what happens now? Do you just wait to hear from her?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, or do you go back to portland until delphine makes a decision?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Well, we&#8217;ll definitely be keeping in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Because delphine made up her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: She wants us to adopt her baby.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Oh, my gosh!<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Ahh!<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Oh, my gosh! Why didn&#8217;t you say that?! That&#8217;s amazing!<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: I know!<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Oh, my gosh, congratulations!<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: May I be perfectly honest?<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: [ Sighs ] When you reached out about johnny coming over tonight, i wanted to refuse the invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Oh. Right. I mean, you had responded &#8220;yes&#8221; so quickly, I thought&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] I&#8217;m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: What for?<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: That you felt you couldn&#8217;t refuse.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I realized that it<\/p>\n<p>[Sighs] &#8212; It wasn&#8217;t a big deal and I know that connor just wanted to have pizza with johnny and that if johnny knew about the invitation, he&#8217;d want to come. So, despite my reservations, I said yes.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Because you love your son.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I want to support johnny and his relationship with connor. They&#8217;re growing so fast. I know family&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] But I just &#8212; I still feel very uncomfortable with the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: And by &#8220;the situation,&#8221; you mean me.<\/p>\n<p>[ Breathes deeply ] You still don&#8217;t want johnny around me.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Devon, things do not have to get ugly.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: How do you figure? Since you guys aren&#8217;t giving me what I&#8217;m asking for and you&#8217;re gonna make me essentially go to war for my own company, which is what I&#8217;ve been trying to avoid doing.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, we&#8217;re trying to avoid that, too. That&#8217;s why jill and I kept at it. We&#8217;re trying to find a way to resolve this amicably, okay? So, look, if we just stick with the status quo, then we can &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Here we go. &#8220;Status quo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Okay, you know what? Just hear me out, please. We keep the companies intact, right? So that way we maximize our potential for having a successful offering. Then we re-brand that entity, as part of the ipo, called chancellor worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Okay?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Then once we go public, once the dust settles, we buy you out for a very lucrative amount. And then you have the chance to create a brand-new hamilton-winters, one where you have complete autonomy like you want. And jill and I &#8212; we maintain our strength. I mean, it&#8217;s a win-win for everyone, right? There&#8217;s no acrimony. There&#8217;s no bloodshed. I mean, what do you think? Kids can change minds&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Devon: [ Sighs ] Oh. You know, I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m finding it difficult to see the benefits for me in what you&#8217;re proposing.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Jill and I think this is a fair and very good offer.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: How do you find it to be fair when you and jill don&#8217;t have to give up anything, you still get to go public, and you hold on to the company that i poured my heart and soul into creating?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Sorry, I&#8217;m not giving up anything? I&#8217;m giving up the chance to work with my brother, to create something amazing with you. I mean, I&#8217;ve heard these stories about how siblings &#8212; they lose their connection and their bond when one parent dies.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: That&#8217;s not gonna happen to us.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Really? It didn&#8217;t happen with nate?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Nate&#8217;s not our sibling, and you and I are closer than either of us have ever been to him, so I don&#8217;t know why you&#8217;re comparing us.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Devon, I&#8217;m trying to say that if we go to court over this, it is going to affect our relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So, okay, then you&#8217;re saying that if I don&#8217;t accept what you and jill are offering me, you&#8217;re gonna cut me out of your life?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: No, I&#8217;m not saying that. I am trying to salvage things because I want us to remain close.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: You&#8217;re not doing that, though. You&#8217;re holding my company hostage, and you&#8217;re forcing me to make a decision, to choose either to go public with you guys or give it up. That&#8217;s what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: No, I&#8217;m trying to keep us united. Look, I know how you get. When someone hurts you, you want to put a wall up and you trust no one, including me.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I never said I don&#8217;t trust you.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: You didn&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: What are you talking about, though? &#8216;Cause that&#8217;s not the way i feel. This isn&#8217;t about me not trusting. It&#8217;s not about me in pain from anything. This is a professional disagreement that you&#8217;re making personal, and I don&#8217;t know why you&#8217;re doing it. I don&#8217;t get why it&#8217;s so difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Because it is difficult. It&#8217;s difficult when you&#8217;re walking away from someone or something that matters to you. I mean, at one point you wanted this merger, too.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, I know I did. We &#8212; yeah, we all did. It looked good on paper at first, and then things changed.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Right. Okay. Great. You changed your mind. I get it, and I can respect it.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: But you can&#8217;t accept it?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: [ Sighs ] This is not a bad deal.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I don&#8217;t care about the deal. This is not about money. I mean, you can throw all the money in the world at me. You&#8217;re still making me start from scratch. You&#8217;re making me build an empire from the ground up. That&#8217;s what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Don&#8217;t you see that as an opportunity?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, boy.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: You can correct things this time that didn&#8217;t go right the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah. That&#8217;s &#8212; I&#8217;m sure it sounds real easy to you since you&#8217;re not the one that has to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: No, I do not think it&#8217;s easy, but wouldn&#8217;t you rather focus your energy on building a new legacy than fighting a potentially unsuccessful lawsuit against chancellor-winters?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I-I mean, it&#8217;s &#8212; it&#8217;s crazy to me.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, I 100% agree with you. It is crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So, why don&#8217;t you give me what I&#8217;m asking for then?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: I&#8217;m trying to, okay? I&#8217;m trying to end this war before it begins. And there is a viable option on the table that could actually make you happy if you would consider it.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I&#8217;ve already said that I &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Okay, don&#8217;t &#8212; don&#8217;t &#8212; please don&#8217;t give an answer, alright? Just think about it. That is all I&#8217;m asking, for you, for us, because whatever we do next, it&#8217;s going to change our lives. So let&#8217;s do something that&#8217;ll make our dad proud. I&#8217;ll see myself out.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Door opens ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ]<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I&#8217;m just so happy for you ladies! Ooh!<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Thank you so much, abby.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: It&#8217;s huge, right?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: It&#8217;s definitely another monumental step forward.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: And we have so many more to go. We know. Don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes, we have talked about how this is just the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: And that we have a million more hurdles to clear before we bring a child home forever, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Right now, in this moment, we just want to embrace our good fortune and celebrate how well everything went in oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Yeah. Nothing is set in stone. Delphine could change her mind today or tomorrow or even the day that the baby is born.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, it could be a roller coaster.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: We&#8217;re arming ourselves for the worst, but we are sincerely hoping for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes, we have thought about all the possibilities in between, and we are just trying to prepare for wherever this journey takes us next.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: But nothing is gonna change what we know to be true in our hearts &#8212; that, no matter what, one day we&#8217;re gonna have a child of our own.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: It&#8217;s meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: It&#8217;s the same maternal urge that I felt when all of us joined together and helped make my dream of a family a reality. I couldn&#8217;t have done it without you.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: And if I hadn&#8217;t have been dom&#8217;s surrogate, I would have never known how much i wanted to be a mother.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I was a little late to the baby-fever party&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: &#8230;But now there is nothing more that I want than to start a family with my wife.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Okay. Who wants hot chocolate?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh, me.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Definitely me.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I wouldn&#8217;t say no.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Alright, good, &#8217;cause I want to hear more about what happened with delphine.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Can I give you a hand?<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Yeah, my favorite barista. It&#8217;s been a while since you were behind the coffee counter. I&#8217;m gonna alert your fan club.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Sighs ] What a day.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Abby. Are you okay?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Exhales heavily ]<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Um&#8230;do you want to talk?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: You know, it&#8217;s only awkward if we let it be.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Take a load off.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Charming as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Don&#8217;t worry. I&#8217;m not staying. I&#8217;m just waiting to pick up my pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Oh. When did they start serving pizza here?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, exactly. Uh, it&#8217;s basically an oversized version of their flatbread, but I&#8217;m keeping that a secret from the kids. Abby&#8217;s asking for an honest opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Oh, well, I&#8217;m sure johnny and katie will be more than happy to give an honest opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Actually, it&#8217;s for, uh &#8212; for johnny and connor. They&#8217;re hanging out at chelsea&#8217;S.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Oh. Well, have fun. Don&#8217;t forget it&#8217;s a school night.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: [ Chuckles ] So, what&#8217;s up with you? And don&#8217;t tell me nothing. I could see it in your eyes when you walked in.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Oh, it&#8217;s just, uh &#8212; just work.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Tough week?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: [ Chuckles ] That is an understatement. But not your problem to solve anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: You know, things might be over between us, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I&#8217;ve stopped caring about you&#8230; or wanting to support you. If you need someone to lean on, I&#8217;d like to be that person.<\/p>\n<p>Restless nights fogging up<\/p>\n<p>your day?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You know, I have to keep reminding myself that this is not about me, that it&#8217;s about johnny. I&#8217;m not gonna say that he can&#8217;t spend time with you. We&#8217;ve all moved past that point. And I&#8217;m really trying so hard to operate in good faith.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: I&#8217;m glad.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: But I still feel very protective of my son. And somehow I think he&#8217;s processed the fact that you&#8217;re his biological mother, and he&#8217;s welcomed you into his life. And he loves the idea that he and connor are half-brothers. But I can&#8217;t forget how devastated he was when we first told him. And I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m really having a hard time getting used to this new norm of pizza night and holidays together. From my perspective, I just feel that everything is moving too quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: I get it. I do. If I was in your position, i would feel the exact same way. I forced the issue, and i shouldn&#8217;t have. It was selfish.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You were going through a difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: I was in a lot of pain and I was hurting, but i didn&#8217;t recognize how my actions were hurting other people. I blindsided you, victoria, several times. So, I&#8217;m very grateful that you&#8217;re just making an effort.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I would do anything for my son.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: I&#8217;m trying really hard to rebuild my life, and I&#8217;m really appreciative that you&#8217;re letting me even be the slightest part of johnny&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: He&#8217;s a good kid.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: And that&#8217;s because you&#8217;re such a good mom. His only mom. I promise you have nothing to fear in regards to that. I just &#8212; I just want to make you comfortable with this situation. I promise you we&#8217;re on the same side.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: So, I&#8217;m guessing that something is wrong. I-I mean, I&#8217;d like to think that you were just happy for tessa and me, but I &#8212; I have my suspicions.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I am. I am so happy for the two of you, um, but&#8230; you know that chance and i were having problems?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Yeah, but I was hoping that you guys would find a way to work things out?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, um, things got more complicated since the last time we spoke.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Do I even want to know what that means?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No. Probably not. And I hate telling you this because you guys have such amazing news, and I&#8230; I just &#8212; I think you should hear it from me first. Chance and I are&#8230; getting divorced.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh, my gosh. Abby, I am &#8212; I am so sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: And I just keep thinking about the time when chance was in spain and you gave us the most incredible gift &#8212; our son. And I thought chance was gonna come home and we were just gonna have the happiest future together as a family.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Look, even though you&#8217;re not gonna be married, you&#8217;re still going to be a family. You&#8217;re going to be amazing co-parents because of the love that you have for dom. That&#8217;s never gonna change.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Thank you for saying that. Ahh, that makes me feel a lot better.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sniffles ] But, um, you know what? I should go. I should let you get back to catching up with sharon. I just wish the two of you the best.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Right back at you.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mm. Oh, I&#8217;m so happy for you guys! Ahh! You and tessa are gonna be the most amazing moms. And after everything the two of you have done for me, if there&#8217;s anything I can do to return the favor, please let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh, count on it.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, good.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ] Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: See you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone pings ]<\/p>\n<p>Lily: It&#8217;s just nothing seems to be going right lately. Nothing. It&#8217;s like, devon and nate still aren&#8217;t talking. Devon now wants to end our partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: What?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: And then there was this guy I used to have in my life.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Yeah. The worst. Can&#8217;t believe you liked him.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: I loved him.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: [ Sighs ] You know, just because things didn&#8217;t last forever with us, it doesn&#8217;t mean it was all bad. I still believe we have something. After all, you&#8217;re sitting here.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, still.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Devon wanting to end the partnership &#8212; you mentioned a few days ago you were dealing with some kind of nightmare with the ipo. Is that what you were talking about?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: [ Scoffs ] So, I guess nate was right when he said that the root of their problems all stemmed from devon&#8217;s desire to be a lone wolf.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, and now I&#8217;m the lone wolf.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: With a c-suite filled with empty chairs, including the one that I occupied. Let me just say, lily, that that is not a reflection of your leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, it&#8217;s hard to not doubt myself.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: No. You did everything you could to get people to work together. You did amazing things for that company. Let me ask you point blank &#8212; do you regret any of the decisions that you made? Taking over chancellor media, then chancellor industries, the merger, the ipo?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: No. I don&#8217;t regret anything. I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m really proud of what I&#8217;ve accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Good. Because you should be. And I hope you can see that this is a golden opportunity. Your heart is the beat of life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The young and the restless&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>will continue. Pain hits fast.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: I would love to know how everyone I thought I could depend on deserting me is a golden opportunity. So, please tell me.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Lily, I&#8217;ve known you for a long time. I&#8217;ve loved you for a good portion of that time. I know when your back is against the wall, that is when you are at your strongest, most powerful. You will rise to the occasion, and you will show what a strong leader you are. In fact, I&#8217;ll go a step further and say, without having to mediate between the issues of your nearest and dearest, you will rise to even greater heights.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: [ Chuckles ] That&#8217;s an interesting perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Well, trust me. And I do have a little bit of experience with family business drama. Over time, eventually, everyone will forgive and forget.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Even devon?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Especially devon. You two have an incredible bond. He&#8217;ll get over it.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah. I hope so. Well, thank you for the pep talk. You should probably get going. I think your food&#8217;s probably getting cold.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: You&#8217;re probably right.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] If there&#8217;s ever anything that i can do to help&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Thank you, but I&#8217;ve got this.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I have no doubt about that.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knock on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Devon: [ Sighs ] Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Thank you for coming over.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mwah! Of course.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighs ] I know you&#8217;re going through it, but I have some good news.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh. There&#8217;s still some of that in the world? Please share it with me.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mariah and tessa had a wonderful visit with a potential birth mother, and, fingers crossed, things are looking good.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah? Really?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: That&#8217;s fantastic. Good for them. They deserve it. And it&#8217;s nice to hear that good things are happening to someone somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I don&#8217;t like the sound of that. Do you have an update about dissolving the merger?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, I do. And it&#8217;s not what I saw coming.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: So, overall, how did the two of you get along with delphine?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Well, our conversations with her were challenging. I mean, she&#8217;s nice. She&#8217;s young.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: She&#8217;s scared.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I think she was trying to be what she thought we wanted her to be.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: But to be fair, we were doing the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, everyone&#8217;s expectations are so high right now. You&#8217;re both hoping that she&#8217;ll like you enough to believe that you&#8217;ll be great parents, and, for her, she&#8217;s obviously decided that adoption is the best route for her, but she&#8217;s got to be experiencing a lot of complicated emotions. Giving up a baby&#8217;s never easy. And what about the father? Did you say that they&#8217;re no longer together? But does he know about the pregnancy and what she intends to do?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes, delphine assured us that he is on board with the adoption and relinquishing all of his parental rights.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Oh. Okay, good. Did you notice any reluctance on delphine&#8217;s part?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: She seemed determined to stay on this path with us.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: But she did have some concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I, uh &#8212; hi. Is, uh &#8212; is everything alright?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah. Why wouldn&#8217;t it be?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Well, because you just said that you were gonna quickly drop off, a-and then you&#8217;re still here.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: We were chatting.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Oh, okay. And how is, uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Everything&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Okay, great.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh, well, I&#8217;m gonna get going. I&#8217;ll leave you to your pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Why don&#8217;t you stay?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Stay? For dinner?<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Yeah. Why not? You said you&#8217;ve got some time before katie needs to be picked up from ballet. It&#8217;ll be fun.<\/p>\n<p>For your most brilliant smile,<\/p>\n<p>crest has you covered.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So, jill has decided to move forward with the ipo. And in order to do that, she needs to keep chancellor merged with hamilton-winters.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: So, she won&#8217;t let you buy back your own company?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: No. No, she won&#8217;T. And she and lily cooked up this idea to buy me out for a big profit and leave me with basically nothing but the ability to create a new company from scratch and call it hamilton-winters.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, empires have been built on a lot less than that.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, but &#8212; are you playing devil&#8217;s advocate?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Chuckles ] Just hear me out for a second. If you take this deal, one, you would make your sister happy, which isn&#8217;t the worst thing in the world, and, two, you could start something brand new, which is right up your alley.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Right. How do I just walk away from the biggest professional achievement of my life, though? Like, the company is invaluable because I created it with neil and it&#8217;s my connection to him. If I leave it, I mean, that&#8217;s &#8212; doesn&#8217;t that defeat the purpose?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I&#8217;m not so sure. I mean, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s the truth, at least not the part about the connection to neil.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: How do you figure?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Sighs ] Neil is gonna be a part of everything you do &#8212; I mean, every move, every decision that you make. Yes, neil was here physically when you guys started hamilton-winters, but neil is gonna be a part of you in everything that you do moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So, what are you saying?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Make your decision on how you see your future, not how you feel about the past.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Mmm.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Pizza!<\/p>\n<p>Billy: The name&#8217;s dad.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Hi, billy.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Hey, dad.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Hey. How are you, guinea pigs? Because that&#8217;s what you are today, okay? This is abby&#8217;s new pizza from society, and she wants our honest opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Cool.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Okay, well, let&#8217;s get it while it&#8217;s hot.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Mom, are you staying for dinner?<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Of course she is. Who says no to pizza?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I guess I-I could stay and have a slice.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Yes!<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Okay, good. Well, let&#8217;s get some plates, alright? Help me out, boys.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: So, what were some of delphine&#8217;s concerns?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Well, she wanted to know our parenting philosophy, what we think about education, discipline.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: She just wanted to know how we met and fell in love, what makes our relationship so strong.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: All the things that she couldn&#8217;t find out from the application.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes. Yeah. She wondered if the baby was gonna have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: So, uh, we got to show her some pictures and let her know all about you and nick and crystal, noah, faith.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah, and all of our friends who are gonna be around the baby. And we tried to think of everything we could to tell her about genoa city.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: It&#8217;s the perfect place to fall in love and build a family, raise a kid.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Did she ask about<\/p>\n<p>your childhoods?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Uh, she did.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes. And we told her that we did not have the best situation growing up, but we were not gonna be making the same mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: No. Just new and different ones.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Of course. Well, I think it&#8217;s really wise of her to ask those questions. You know, she obviously liked what you had to say. She chose you.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: So now we have to think about things like, are we gonna be in the birthing room?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Yeah. How are we gonna structure an open adoption? Because delphine wants to know the kid, and we are totally fine with that.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Well, that&#8217;s why you have an attorney to walk you through that.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: I know. We&#8217;re gonna have a lot of questions for christine.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Just make sure the agreement she draws up for you covers every detail, even things that you think don&#8217;t matter right now. Trust me &#8212; everything matters.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Yeah. We don&#8217;t have much time.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: Wait. I didn&#8217;t ask the most important question. When is the baby due?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Well, if everything works out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: We could be moms by the end of february.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon: [ Gasps ]<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: [ Chuckles ] What&#8217;s the #1 retinol brand<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Okay, on a scale from &#8220;never again&#8221; to &#8220;incredible,&#8221; what do you say? Vick?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh, I&#8217;m sorry. What is it that we&#8217;re contemplating again?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: The new cubano pizza from society. Abby wants to know &#8212; what do we think? What&#8217;s the verdict?<\/p>\n<p>Connor: We&#8217;ve got a more important question.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: What&#8217;s for dessert?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I think that maybe you should let your food digest first, don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>Connor: I guess.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: I&#8217;ve got some ice cream for later.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Next time we do this, katie should come, too.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Connor: She&#8217;s your sister and my cousin. I mean, this is a family dinner, right?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh, speaking of katie, I &#8212; I should go. I want to be there when she gets out of ballet class.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Oh, mom, did you decide whether I can watch a movie? I finished my homework.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh&#8230;yeah, sure. Go ahead. It&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I can drop him at your place after.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: That sounds great. Alright. Later, alligator.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: After a while, crocodile.<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Bye, aunt victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Victoria? Are you sure you&#8217;re alright?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah. Why wouldn&#8217;t I be? Thank you again for dinner. I&#8217;ll be in touch. Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Good night. Alright, now, what movie are we gonna watch, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Something funny.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny: Oh, no. Action.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Ah.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Well, there&#8217;s only one way to solve that &#8212; first one around the table wins.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea: Ah! No, not really!<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughter ] Careful!<\/p>\n<p>Connor: Ah! Whoa!<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Honestly, abby, i don&#8217;t know what I see when I &#8212; when I think about the futurE.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: What do you love about hamilton-winters?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I love that it&#8217;s an established company already and that it has a history of success that I can build on.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, and a new company &#8212; walk me through that.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: It&#8217;s &#8212; I mean, it&#8217;d be just that. It would be brand new. It&#8217;S&#8230; I don&#8217;t know how it would even compare. And&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: And?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: A-and I could not be successful. I could fail with starting over like this.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Or you could soar. But whatever choice you make, you&#8217;re not gonna face it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Thank you. When did you take off your rings?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: A few days ago. I have to face my new reality.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I know that wasn&#8217;t easy for you.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I&#8217;m filled with a lot of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: The good thing is, is whatever life throws at you, you won&#8217;t have to face it alone.<\/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 Devon: Alright.
