Um, how are things going? Did you push the idea to victoria?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m going in now, so you can ease up.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Look, I apologize for being so pushy when my future is on the line.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Look, let me handle this my own way. I&#8217;m proposing this idea because it&#8217;s a good move. That it gets you out of a jam is added benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Look, it&#8217;s more than a jam. Adam could destroy my career if he lets out that tucker and i covered up a mccall scandal.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighing ] Look, I&#8211; I need to keep him happy.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Just give me some time.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: All right, I gotta go. Keep me posted.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I hope you have some good news for me.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Sure, adam, have a seat.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Have you heard from victor? Have you reached out? Told him it&#8217;s a smart idea to merge newman media with adustus?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: That&#8217;s pending.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: That sounds more like stalling. Look, I want this handled and over with by the time nick, sharon and I officially launch the new company.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Trust me. I have a two-stage plan in the works.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, I heard from your father this morning. Things are progressing overseas.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: That&#8217;s good. I&#8217;m glad to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knocking on door ] Come in.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Good morning, ladies. I am happy to see you both in one place.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: There&#8217;s something I wanted to run by you.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Oh, good. Well, have a seat.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;ve been looking over the proposal of the adustus\/kirsten launch. All the components of a restructured company.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes, the official unveiling is on track to happen very soon.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I did a deep dive into some numbers last night. I think adam is correct in thinking that newman media and his new company with nick and sharon will be redundant in our new corporate scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, victor doesn&#8217;t see it that way.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I suspect that was just his initial reaction to a suggestion made by adam, whom we all know has wanted newman media for some time now. But&#8230; I think we should look into this. If we were to fold the two companies together, we&#8217;d have a powerhouse media company that would be unrivaled.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Where is this coming from?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Are you actually suggesting defying victor in this way? What has gotten into you?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Ah, abby! Good to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You too.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Um, jack was showing me some videos of dom&#8217;s swimming lessons. He&#8217;s adorable.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, he&#8217;ll be keeping up with harrison in no time.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yes, he&#8217;d love that. Um&#8230; you know, I came by first thing this morning because I spoke to my mom and she&#8217;s willing to meet with you and hopes to come to a detente, brokered by me.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: As I told you, I&#8217;m willing to try.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, but, for this meeting to work, it has to be just you, me and my mom. No one else.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Thank you for coming by to meet me&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Here at the office.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I was kind of shocked that we were still allowed in the building.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Speak for yourself. I never was.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: So, I&#8217;m just gonna cut to the chase here. Um, I&#8217;ve considered your offer to work from the inside to help push diane to failure here at jabot.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Mm-hmm. You would just be speeding along her inevitable fall and hopefully opening up jack&#8217;s eyes in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: True, but it will weaken jabot even if it is temporary. And for what, the two of you to take over?<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Mm-hmm. So, where do you stand? Can we count you in?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I have one question: What&#8217;s in it for me? With the freestyle libre 2 system.<\/p>\n<p>Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: We figured you&#8217;d wanna know how you were gonna be getting repaid.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: It&#8217;s a fair question, ash.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Well, here&#8217;s my answer. Simply ashley will be a huge success.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Well, that&#8217;s good for you. And how does that benefit me?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Diane will definitely weaken jabot.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: With my discreet help.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: At which point, ashley and I will take over.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: It&#8217;s the only way to save our father&#8217;s company.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: And by the same token, save jack from himself?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Thank you. Hopefully. Tucker and I have talked about this, and it&#8217;s, uh, stupid and short-sighted to fold jabot into our company because of its extensive branding and history, so jabot will remain its own separate entity.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Under the simply ashley umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Keeping jabot&#8217;s integrity intact is the number one thing here, but again&#8230; what is my payout?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: You&#8217;re gonna run jabot.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: &#8216;Cause you&#8217;d have to report to us.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Our father&#8217;s company will be under your command, billy. And you won&#8217;t be under jack&#8217;s shadow anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: It&#8217;ll be billy abbott, finally where he belongs. In charge.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Come on, this is a huge opportunity. And our father would be so incredibly proud of you. What you&#8217;re willing to do to protect his legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Well, I&#8217;m intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Yeah, I kind of thought you might be.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: This is all contingent, though, on you coming through for us.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Right. You&#8217;ve gotta give diane that gentle push to do what she does best.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I understand all that. Did it occur to you to come with this generous offer when all of this started?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: What&#8217;s the difference? We knew that we would get here eventually.<\/p>\n<p>[ Billy chuckling ]<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Nothing if not predictable, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Aren&#8217;t we all?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Anyway, tucker and I have to go. We have a meeting with jack, actually.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Oh?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Yeah. Abby&#8217;s trying to broker a truce. And knowing that you are on our side will change&#8230; my approach, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Clearing throat ] This is about protecting our family legacy, right?<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighing ] I&#8217;m in.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Yes. Yay.<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughing ] You&#8217;re not gonna regret this. It&#8217;s all good. I&#8217;ll take to you soon.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Congratulations.<\/p>\n<p>[ Billy exhaling ]<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Even you seem to think the detente can only exist if diane is excluded.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: It&#8217;s just for the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: That is not going to happen. Ashley&#8217;s disdain for diane is the core reason for this war. That and her dangerous and absurd relationship with tucker mccall.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, she feels the same way about your marriage to diane.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Any achievable peace hinges on ashley&#8217;s ability to accept diane.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Uncle jack, I am just stating the obvious here, okay? If my mom walks in, her back will go completely up she sees that diane is part of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Ashley.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Then, the whole thing is gonna be over before it even started.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: I have to agree with abby. The only chance you have at having a peaceful conversation with ashley is if I&#8217;m excluded. My presence is only going to keep you from achieving that.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: We are married now. You are part of my life forever. Ashley has to realize that&#8217;s not going to change.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: I know. And I love you for always standing up for me, but there&#8217;s something else you need to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: And what is that?<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Diane: If you want peace with ashley, then this has to be a two-way street. If you want her to consider a truce with you, then you have to consider that tucker is a part of her life. Are you willing to do that?<\/p>\n<p>[ Jack sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I do not wish to second guess your husband, nikki, but my instincts say this is a smart move. I believe it&#8217;s also wise to get you both on board before presenting it to him.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I&#8217;m not sure he would even change his mind, regardless of our opinions. Plus, I don&#8217;t wanna give adam the satisfaction of winning.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Maybe you shouldn&#8217;t view this on a personal level, either. It&#8217;s good business.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Anything involving adam is never a good idea. It&#8217;s best that he has his own company to manage.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes, one that he can run into the ground all by himself.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Yeah, and I&#8217;m sorry that nicholas is involved in that, but maybe he can keep adam in line. All right, I have a business meeting at society. I&#8217;ll leave the two of you to hash this out.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: All right, mom. I&#8217;ll fill you in later.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Yes, please do. And just let me say, I agree with victor in leaving the two entities alone. Let audra run newman media and adam can&#8230; do whatever he&#8217;s going to do. Just keep it clean and separate. Otherwise, we&#8217;re asking for trouble.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closing ]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I thought that we had things settled on this front. What even prompted you to look into it?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Now that the launch of adustus is impending, it became obvious to me that their company and newman media would be redundant.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It&#8217;s still disrespecting my father&#8217;s wishes, no matter how you spin it.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I disagree. I&#8217;m looking at this in an ongoing and fluid way. And I&#8217;m not advocating we do anything behind victor&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, convincing my dad&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckling ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Groaning ] That would be a tall order. We&#8217;d have to have a strong case to get through to him.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Think about what this would mean for newman media and for you when it&#8217;s successful.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You know, there&#8217;s something else that I don&#8217;t understand about this. Merging the two companies would possibly dilute and jeopardize audra&#8217;s power. Have you lost faith in her for some reason?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: I have nate working on victoria to convince her of the merits of the merger.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Hm. Well, that&#8217;s&#8211; that&#8217;s a smart idea because if victoria will listen to anybody, it&#8217;s nate.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: And, as you know, uh, victor is out of the country, and this conversation is best had face to face with your father, so that won&#8217;t be happening today.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mm-hmm, yes, I see the logic in that as well, but time is running out. We&#8217;re set to announce the launch of our company next week.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Hm. How exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: And it&#8217;ll be a lot stronger if the announcement includes the merging of newman media, mccall and kirsten.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: You know, I can see how this clearly benefits you, but in this scenario, what happens to me?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Wait, wait, why is that my concern?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Am I gonna be the one left out in the cold? Because that really dampens the incentive.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I thought that your incentive was to keep a certain scandal quiet. You know, the one where you covered up for tucker&#8217;s pr department. The rockstar who was exploiting underage girls?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Look, that is at the top of my list. If that ever got out, it could destroy my career.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah, those emails of yours are pretty damning.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Look, what I did was a coverup of a coverup. It was after the fact. A horrible fact. I am not condoning what that man did.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, nobody would condone that.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Look, I have fought to get where I am. Look, I still wanna protect my business position.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, then I suggest you accomplish what I have asked of you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Audra chuckling ]<\/p>\n<p>Audra: You know what? I think you&#8217;re underestimating my abilities. I&#8217;m an excellent asset. And newman media has been doing outstandingly well under my leadership. You have to have noticed that.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Perhaps.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Provided I can convince victor, where will I land once you, uh, fold newman media into your new company?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: How about you make it happen and then we&#8217;ll see where you land.

Do I?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: I&#8217;m willing to take the risk and call your bluff. I&#8217;ll help you if you promise me that&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Adam: What do you mean? Like, a pinky promise? Like cross my heart, hope to die?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: In writing that I will maintain a power position within the new company&#8217;s structure. Otherwise, I&#8217;ll take my chances.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You know, you&#8217;re negotiating when you have zero leverage.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Actually, I have a few cards up my sleeve to help deal with the fallout if you do decide to release the damning information about tucker and me.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: So, you&#8217;re giving me the go ahead to go public with this?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: If you release those emails, you&#8217;ll make tucker an enemy for life. Now, do you really wanna do that? You know, when it can all be so easy for you if you just give me what I want.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: My respect and support for audra has not wavered.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, she will be glad to know that.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m just thinking big picture here. This is a good move. The two companies will be redundant. Financial waste, no upside. Adam wasn&#8217;t wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: His motives are. He has his own agenda. He wants to take newman media away from me. He&#8217;s not happy that it&#8217;s slipped out of his control.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: His personal fixations aside, the strength of the two companies as one is undeniable.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Let me ask you something: What do you propose happens to audra if these two companies were to merge?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m not worried about it. We&#8217;d figure how she fits in the new scenario. She&#8217;s a driven team player. The more important factor is what&#8217;s best for newman enterprises overall.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I&#8217;m gonna have to think about it. But your passion and your insight are&#8230; very inspiring, as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It&#8217;s an incredible turn on.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Is that so?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Okay, so, um&#8230; what do you wanna do about that?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, if I didn&#8217;t have this meeting with oslo in ten minutes, I would say that maybe we could slip away somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Mm-hmm. Then, I guess this will have to suffice.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Hello.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Hi, jack.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, I am glad that everyone could make it, and I&#8217;m grateful that you&#8217;ve agreed to this sit-down. My only stipulation is that significant others need to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, if we&#8217;re gonna get anywhere, it has to be a sibling only conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Because our significant others are the source of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: No offense from me. Uh, I think you&#8217;re right. Diane&#8217;s and my presence would be a dark shadow over the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You are indeed the storm cloud in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Jack, despite what you may think, I actually want the two of you to find peace as brother and sister, okay? I have a good feeling about this meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: So do I.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Shall we try to broker our own detente? If you care to join me for a little brunch. I&#8217;m buying.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Fine.<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane exhaling ]<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, um&#8230; where should we begin? Schwarzkopf keratin color<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Wow. Well, this takes remote work to a whole &#8216;nother level. Running the company from a bar? What do you got there? Vodka tonic?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Actually, tucker, it&#8217;s a club soda. As I wait for my food to come back from the kitchen so I can take that and then go back to the office to continue to work. Not that I have to explain anything to you. Let me guess, you two got ousted from the detente conversation?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: No, we chose to leave to give ashley and jack privacy so they can hopefully work things out.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Mm, that was big of you. I&#8217;m glad that they&#8217;re trying because I&#8217;m sick and tired of the fighting. I&#8217;m sick and tired of&#8230; jack sacrificing the well-being of jabot in defense of you, diane.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Well, I&#8217;m sorry you feel that way, billy.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I&#8217;m sure you are.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Well, maybe you should have a drink.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Let me tell you how this is gonna go for you, diane. You&#8217;re gonna push it too far. You&#8217;re gonna do that one thing that jack is not gonna be able to forgive or fix, and then he&#8217;s gonna realize that ashley was right about you the entire time.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: My god, I am sick of all of you. And I am tired of having to prove myself to everyone but jack! I know who I am, what I&#8217;ve become, and I&#8217;m not gonna apologize to anyone anymore. So, think the worst of me. I don&#8217;t care. Excuse me, tucker. I&#8217;ve lost my appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, great.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Oh, great.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I&#8217;m not afraid of tucker. And despite your bravado, I don&#8217;t think you would really take the chance of pissin&#8217; me off. So, you&#8217;re just gonna have to trust that I will take care of you.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: That&#8217;s not good enough.<\/p>\n<p>[ Adam sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Adam: What is it that you would want?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Well, I know I can&#8217;t expect to remain ceo of newman media because everything would be under your control, along with nick and sharon.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yes, that is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: But I would wanna be second in command.<\/p>\n<p>[ Adam laughing, muttering ] Why wouldn&#8217;t I deserve it if I&#8217;m the one offering the means for the merger? I mean, not to mention, I&#8217;m strong and smart.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: And humble, too, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: And I can be as ruthless as you would ever need me to be. So, why are we even arguing about this?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I would have to run it by sharon and nick, but I&#8217;m confident that I can convince them. Provided you can deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Abby, could I please have five minutes alone with jack?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mom, I agreed to be the mediator to keep you and uncle jack from getting into another one of your yelling matches.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I promise you, that&#8217;s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I&#8217;m not so sure about that. Tucker&#8217;s brutish callousness seems to have rubbed off on you. You&#8217;re not the sister I once knew.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Well, I don&#8217;t know who the hell you are either, jack, because diane&#8217;s turned you into an insipid fool.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, stop. This is why I cannot leave the two of you alone. Now, do we need to set ground rules? Does this need to be a true debate?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: What are you gonna do? Ask us a question and give us five minutes to answer?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: That&#8217;s a bit much, don&#8217;t you think?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Look, I will do whatever it takes to broker some sort of truce between the two of you. Now, does it have to be that controlled?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I&#8217;m gonna save you a lot of time. I don&#8217;t want anything from you. I don&#8217;t want anything from jabot. I will gladly walk away empty-handed if I can be done with you and diane. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories.

Honestly, I can&#8217;t stand the thought of having another argument with you where I tell you how wrong you are, so congratulations, you wore me down.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Okay, so what&#8217;s the catch?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: There is no catch. Oh, by the way, this is happening because of tucker. You know, that man you hate so much. He&#8217;s been trying to show me the futility of this war.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Has he really?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: He has. For months. He&#8217;s been trying to convince me to walk away and start fresh. But I&#8217;ve been too pissed off at you, until now.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: O&#8211; okay, I&#8211; I can&#8217;t argue that, if indeed there are no strings attached.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Buy me out and we are done.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Okay, I can agree to that. In fact, I&#8217;m&#8211; I&#8217;m happy about this.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Oh, are you really happy about it, jack? Maybe &#8217;cause you&#8217;re getting everything you want.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I am happy because you were willing to try something new. I knew things had grown untenable between you and me, at jabot and at home, because of diane and tucker.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Yes, they have. And I wanna move on.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: What does this mean moving forward? With your relationship with uncle jack. As your brother.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: What does it mean, jack?<\/p>\n<p>[ Victoria moaning ]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You know, as much as I would love to continue this, I have to get ready for that video call.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Snap back to reality.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[ Nate chuckling ] Well, you could check back later. Maybe we could go get a bite to eat after work, if you want to.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;d like that.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: All right.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Please though, uh, think about what I said. About the merger.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I will. But be forewarned, bringing adam that much closer is more problematic than you think.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I can handle adam. You won&#8217;t need to worry about him.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Look, I see your value and I appreciate what you bring to the business.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: You know, I&#8217;d imagine we, uh, work well together. We could do great things.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You know, I don&#8217;t hold your actions against you, either. You protected mccall. Which means you put business and loyalty first.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Yeah, well, it wasn&#8217;t my proudest moment, but I don&#8217;t bite the hand that feeds me.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, keep me posted on how things are going. And if you can deliver, this could work out well for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: I&#8217;m guessing you&#8217;re not going to congratulate me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: You know, I am amazed by all you have managed to do. It seems you have achieved everything you set out to get when you came back to genoa city.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Yes, I have. And despite what you may think, I came back with the best of intentions.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, you wanted your son&#8217;s forgiveness and you got it. Then you married the billionaire you&#8217;ve been chasing for decades and managed to drive a wedge between jack and ashley, while gaining a foothold into jabot. I&#8217;d really admire you if you weren&#8217;t so loathsome.<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Have a nice day, nikki.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: See ya, diane.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: How do you see diane&#8217;s downfall at jabot playing out?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I mean, she&#8217;ll feel emboldened. Especially after ashley walks away. She&#8217;ll start to push her own agenda. She&#8217;ll have a bunch of bad ideas that jack is gonna support, invest money in and man power because he&#8217;s clearly blinded by love. And I will be in her ear. Feeding her ego. Telling her to take more and more control.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Knowing at the end of that rainbow is your pot of gold.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Which I am very grateful to you and ashley for.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Yeah. Seems you and I aren&#8217;t that dissimilar.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: I guess we both revert back to regular form, don&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Heh. Unless, of course, you got your own agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Wouldn&#8217;t that beat the band?<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: &#8216;Cause it does seem just a little bit too good to be true.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: What does? Family is just very important.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: If you could just give diane a chance or maybe just stop attacking her and live and let live, I can do the same thing with tucker.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I will try my best.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: So, we have an agreement?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Looks like we do.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I think we have both been beaten down by this battle.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Yeah, it&#8217;s been devastating. I&#8211; I&#8230; I want it to end.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: So do I.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I just want to move forward with my plans without being so angry. You know, be excited about my wedding and my new business with tucker.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: So, uncle jack, does that mean you&#8217;ll come to my mom and tucker&#8217;s wedding?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, that depends on your mother. Are you willing to accept my bringing my wife to your wedding?<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Tucker and I were just marveling at the fact that we&#8217;d been able to find some common ground. A mutual distrust and dislike for diane.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Hm. It&#8217;s a miracle.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: That woman can bring even the most distanced of people together.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Yeah. Since coming back from the dead, she sure covered some ground, hasn&#8217;t she? I personally think there&#8217;s a bigger play at hand here and I&#8217;M&#8230; I&#8217;m worried about jack. And jabot.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: And, uh, I&#8217;ve had it with all the fallout between jack and ashley. Their divide.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Look at that. Who ever thought we&#8217;d be on the same page about anything?<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: In a million years.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Take it from me, it&#8217;s never a good idea to trust that woman.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: That&#8217;s a very good point, nikki. You do have experience with her. So&#8230; do you have any advice for us?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Every plan to drive her out of town has blown up, causing trouble for everybody involved.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Well, she&#8217;s not invincible.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, look at phyllis. What battling diane did to her. I think that that&#8217;s just what happens. People go mad with rage and become their own collateral damage.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Yeah, but don&#8217;t underestimate phyllis, either. She might have something up her sleeve for diane.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: All I&#8217;m saying is, there is no upside in doing battle with diane. And I hate to say it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Nikki sighing ] But I have resigned myself to the sad fact that she is now a part of the fabric of genoa city.<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Hello, diane.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Audra. Have a seat. I know we don&#8217;t know each other very well, but I know that you and kyle have been working together and that you have a, um, personal relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Yeah, kyle is&#8211; he&#8217;s such a good man. You know, he&#8217;s so kind.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Yeah, I&#8217;m really protective of him. So is jack. And we were both curious when we heard that the two of you were spending so much time together.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: He&#8217;s in good hands. I mean, professionally, of course. You know, he&#8217;s a great addition to, uh, newman media. He&#8217;s managed to impress me, and, uh&#8230; I&#8217;m pretty tough to impress.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: So am I. Kyle belongs at marchetti with his wife. He might not show it, but he&#8217;s still in love with summer.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Well, I can&#8217;t comment on whether those are kyle&#8217;s true feelings or not. I only know what he reveals to me.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: [ Laughing ] Oh, and I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s being completely honest with you.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Well, to me, he seems like he&#8217;s ready to move on. You know, maybe not just from his marriage, but&#8230; maybe his whole life.<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane exhaling sharply ]<\/p>\n<p>Diane: What are you implying?<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Perhaps he needs a break from all of you. To find himself.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Kyle needs his family now. More than ever. I doubt he needs to align himself with you to find himself.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: My intentions are sincere. I wanna help him if I can.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: No, you seem like the kind of person who puts herself first. Not above using people as a means to an end.<\/p>\n<p>Audra: Well, I just want to be there for kyle in such a difficult time in his life.<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane exhaling sharply ]<\/p>\n<p>Diane: I can imagine that after everything kyle has been through, he is running away from himself and you are there to help him hide from the truth. But eventually, that&#8217;s all gonna fall apart.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Okay, well, just email that to me then. Okay. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Busy with the upcoming launch?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Uh, it&#8217;s nonstop. But it is all coming together. How are things? Is, uh, audra living up to your and victoria&#8217;s standards?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Don&#8217;t be coy. I know what you&#8217;re doing. I find it despicable.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Do you?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Manipulating a situation in order to get what you want? It&#8217;s pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah, this coming from a guy who sold out his own family.<\/p>\n<p>[ Nate exhaling sharply ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I do admire your ingenuity.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Don&#8217;t act like you haven&#8217;t done the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Oh, I&#8217;m nothing like you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Adam exhaling sharply ]<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You go after what you want and you don&#8217;t stop until you get it. Case in point, you wanted a plum role at a big company in business. You wanted to date a powerful woman and you&#8217;re with victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: It wasn&#8217;t calculated. Look, I&#8217;ve worked hard for what I have.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You know, there is one significant different between us. I know who I am and I embrace it. You need to learn to do the same thing. Doctor. So I didn&#8217;t think I needed swiffer,<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I&#8217;m thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mom.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Look, you&#8217;re my brother. In spite of everything, I love you. It matters to me that you&#8217;re at my wedding, jack. I mean, it signifies that you&#8217;ve accepted tucker and that you see us as a team.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I&#8217;m not happy about it, but&#8211; but I will always support you, ashley.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: If you can make that gesture, then I can make the same effort where diane is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: That is all I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Okay, I guess it&#8217;s settled.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Then we will be there. Dare we&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Come on.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, that was easier than I expected.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I guess we were more in sync than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: My meeting was canceled at the last minute, but I did book us a dinner reservation for later. So, it wasn&#8217;t a complete waste.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Good. I had some time to think while you were gone.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: About what?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Your proposal for adustus and newman media. I think that your idea has merit, but I have one caveat.<\/p>\n<p>Billy: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: How are we?<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Uh, jack and I are in a good place. So, nikki, are you coming to our wedding? I haven&#8217;t received your rsvp.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, we&#8217;re not sure if victor will be back from his trip by then.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker: Aw. I&#8217;m sure he won&#8217;t wanna miss it.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: You know, I still can&#8217;t believe the two of you are back together, but something tells me that there might be some fireworks at the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: Oh, I don&#8217;t know about that. Jack and I were able to work things out.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Hm.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: I think it&#8217;s all gonna be just fine.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, that went well.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, it did.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You don&#8217;t seem as happy as you ought to be. You wanted to bring your mother and me together, and you did.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, it just&#8211; it all happened so quickly. I can&#8217;t help but wonder if it&#8217;s just another ploy on my mom&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I think you ought to give your mother the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, I&#8217;m just gonna set it all aside. You know, there&#8217;s a lot to do. I have to get back to the house. But, um, you&#8217;re gonna be there, right?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Count on it. Hey. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Bye.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Hey. Mm. How did it go?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Ashley relented on everything.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: What?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: She only wanted me to buy her out of jabot. I think she is newly emboldened thinking she has billy in her back pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Huh.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Hey, what&#8217;s that look?<\/p>\n<p>[ Diane sighing ] You seem worried. What happened?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Well, when tucker and I went to society, billy was there. And&#8211; and he played his part perfectly, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighing ] Maybe a little too well.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Diane: Do you think ashley has actually turned billy against us?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.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>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"146\" height=\"146\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Transcript &nbsp; Transcript provided by Suzanne Audra: Um, hey, just wanted to see if there were any updates?
