Well, you look gorgeous.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: The same outfit you saw me in at lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, gorgeous then and gorgeous now, except this is a date and lunch was just, um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Exactly. Well, now that we&#8217;ve finally achieved an actual bona fide date, I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, it feels perfect to me.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, if I may, I&#8217;d like to propose a toast to my spectacular date and our amazing day for the both of us. Italy&#8217;s finest sparkling water. You said alcohol was the tipping point to bad behavior, so I&#8217;m just honoring your wishes.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Wow, you really do think of everything.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: May I?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Please.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: And, if I may be so bold&#8230; to us.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: To us.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Adam and I have gone over the numbers. I believe if we stick to the plan, newman real ventures has the potential to overdeliver on its metrics. Something I said?<\/p>\n<p>[ Victor sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You and your brother working together makes me very happy.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: I guess it just took a few threats, some, uh, ultimatums.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Hi, sweetheart.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Daddy.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Hey, vic.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Hey. I knew you&#8217;d be working after everyone left. Thank you, by the way, for stepping in for me. You&#8217;ve been promoted while I was taking my leave of absence.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Yeah, I have. Uh, along with adam. We&#8217;re co-ceos.<\/p>\n<p>[ Nikki sighing ] So I didn&#8217;t think I needed swiffer,<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Adam? Adam is co-ceo?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yes. My decision has been made. It&#8217;s already proving to be successful.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Yeah, adam and i are making a real effort.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, whatever you think is best.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: So, that&#8217;s it? You&#8217;re really okay with adam running the company with me?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I can&#8217;t think about anything except claire right now.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: How&#8217;s she doing?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: She&#8217;s struggling. Yeah. It&#8217;s gonna be a long road before she&#8217;s healthy again. But, cole and I are doing whatever we can to help her. At least, as long as we can.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: She doesn&#8217;t want to have any more contact with us.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Sorry, vic.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, maybe it&#8217;s for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: No, it&#8217;s not for the best. I&#8211; I&#8217;m sorry, I can&#8217;t accept that. If you could see her and see the pain that she&#8217;s in. She&#8217;s ashamed, she&#8217;s confused, she doesn&#8217;t know who she is. I understand why a part of her wants to distance herself from us. It makes total sense to me, but at least she hasn&#8217;t cut us out of her life for good. I mean, at least not yet.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: And why&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Because claire, she needs a favor and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You mean, after what that girl has done to us, she&#8217;s asking for a favor?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Look, I know it might seem like a lot, but I need to borrow the company jet and a security team.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Are you serious?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes, daddy, I&#8217;m serious. It&#8217;s so that cole and I can take claire to visit jordan.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Over my dead body.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: This carbonara is the best.<\/p>\n<p>[ Adam sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Just like old times.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: The pasta?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You eating off my plate.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Is there a problem?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I mean, we did have the same dish.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Yeah, but somehow, yours just tastes better. And I have worked up an appetite from being a huge success today.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Sally spectra taking the design world by storm.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Mm-hmm. And you, you and nick wowing victor newman? It&#8217;s very impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I&#8217;m pretty impressed myself.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, you do have exceptional business skills.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yeah, I don&#8217;t have that great of brother skills though.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: But I thought the pitch went well today?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: That was the easy part. Now, I have to earn nick&#8217;s trust.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Wow. Now, I&#8217;m extra impressed that that actually matters to you. Look, I&#8211; I really do want this for you and nick and I will always feel guilty for how fractured your relationship has been.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Hey, it was fractured years before you came to town for a long, long time. But, we focus on the now and right now is a date. It&#8217;s actually a great date, so let&#8217;s stay on topic and the topic should be you, the client who cancelled on you. Full disclosure, I did not bribe them to change their schedule, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Yes, yes, I&#8217;m aware. We actually didn&#8217;t meet because she&#8217;s already ready to move forward and she did recommend me to one of her colleagues, so.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Look at us, on top of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: The view is pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Mm-hmm. You ready for dessert? I know how much you love the, uh, tiramisu here.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: I do. Yeah, very much. But I do have chocolate truffles in my minibar.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Did we discuss room visits in the dating debrief earlier?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: We did not.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I mean, it kinda gets us into a little bit of trouble. You sure about this?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, what I am sure about is that I don&#8217;t want this evening to end.<\/p>\n<p>Mike had a heart<\/p>\n<p>attack a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Um, I would love nothing more than to come to your room for chocolate truffles, but I have made assumptions about your feelings in the past and I&#8211; I don&#8217;t want to make that mistake again.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Are you happy?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Very.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: So am I. Do you feel we have invested the time and energy into getting reacquainted in a whole new way?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Do you?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: You cannot answer a question with another question.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I do and I have enjoyed every second of it.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: So have I. So, if two people have as much in common as we obviously do, is it really moving too fast?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Call me crazy, but it feels like there is a lot at stake.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, yeah. I mean, we&#8217;ve been though a lot. And we&#8217;ve lost&#8230; so much. And yeah, I mean, there were days I&#8211; I didn&#8217;t think I was ever gonna come back from it, you know? Or that I would ever feel light and elated like I do right now with you. Yeah, there are stakes, and it&#8217;s scary, but&#8230; honestly, if there&#8217;s one thing I learned from everything we&#8217;ve been though, it&#8217;s that you just gotta&#8230; grab joy and hold onto it for dear life. So, I vote for joy. And that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t want this night to end.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Neither do I.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Mom, please, just&#8211; oh, god. Try to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: No, no, no, no. What I understand is that any contact between jordan and claire is potentially dangerous for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sweetheart, I agree with your mother. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s wise.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Jordan put claire through years of abuse. Why would claire even want to see her?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Because it&#8217;s important to her recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Maybe it&#8217;s an excuse.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Victoria, jordan is evil personified. Why would you even wanna see her face again?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Mom, we won&#8217;t be seeing her, okay? Claire only agreed to let us help her on the condition that she would see jordan alone.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Wait a minute. This woman, after everything that she has done, has the gall to attach a condition to her demand? Are you serious?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: God knows what they will concoct once they get their heads together.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It&#8217;s not like we&#8217;re gonna be unsupervised, okay? We&#8217;re gonna be at the prison in oregon, where jordan is being held. We&#8217;ll have the guards there. We&#8217;ll have our own security team as well.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Victoria! Need I remind you that jordan was able to sneak claire out of a mental ward with extra security. That woman is not to be underestimated.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: But mom, but if this visit gives claire the clarity that she needs in order to heal, then cole and I have to try to make it happen for her. The therapists have already signed off on it. Michael&#8217;s arranging all of the legal business.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sweetheart, with the damage these women have done to us, I&#8217;m inclined to say no.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Please.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Look, yes, all right, these women have done a lot of damage.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yes!<\/p>\n<p>Nick: There&#8217;s no question about that, but I know vic wouldn&#8217;t ask if she didn&#8217;t feel like it was the right thing to do. Now, maybe we don&#8217;t see it like that, but it obviously means a lot to her, so before our decision is made, I think we need to hear victoria out.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Look, I have my own concerns. Of course, I do, but if this is what claire needs to move forward with her life, then I owe her that as her mother.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I admire your compassion, but I&#8217;ve gotta tell you, I&#8217;m just against this. I mean, you don&#8217;t even know this woman&#8211; we don&#8217;t know her.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: After all of the horrible things that jordan has done to us, she should rot in a jail cell for the rest of her life. She shouldn&#8217;t be rewarded for brutalizing us.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I&#8217;m not trying to reward jordan here. That&#8217;s not what this is about! It&#8217;s about claire and her recovery. That&#8217;s it. You guys have to understand. If I don&#8217;t take this leap of faith with my daughter, I might lose her forever! I can&#8217;t let that happen. (Avo) kate made progress with her mental health&#8230; move forward to a heal for you.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Mom, when jordan kidnapped claire, you took a chance. You laid your life on the line to rescue her.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I only did that for you.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes, I know you did. I know that and I love you for it, but whatever&#8217;s next, whatever the risk, I have to take that same chance for my daughter. She needs to be done with jordan. It&#8217;s the only way she can move forward to a healthy future and it&#8217;s my chance to have a relationship with my daughter. I mean, I wasn&#8217;t there for her all those years. I was&#8211; I wasn&#8217;t there for my daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Vic, she was kidnapped. That&#8217;s not your fault.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I understand, but the guilt that I&#8211; the guilt, it&#8211; look, everything that claire has suffered through and everything that she has lost, I know I can&#8217;t go back and change that, I know that, but I can help her. Maybe I can help her find out who she is and the identity that jordan robbed her off.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: She&#8217;s not the only one who&#8217;s been robbed. What jordan did&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sweetheart, she&#8217;ll pay for it, I promise you that.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah, well, claire shouldn&#8217;t have to pay any more than she already has. You taught us, dad, you taught us that family should always come first no matter what and I am not going to give up on my daughter, so daddy please, you have to help me. Please help me make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Victor. Victor, for all we know, this could be another trap, it could be another manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>[ Victor sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I don&#8217;t trust this woman. I don&#8217;T. My instinct tells me no. But you&#8217;re a mother. I love you and yes, I&#8217;ve always talked about how important it is to support family. So&#8230; I will provide you with a jet and a security team. You can transport yourself and cole and claire to oregon, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: So, that&#8217;s it? Are you kidding me? My feelings don&#8217;t matter?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Sweetheart, of course they matter! I&#8217;m caught between the two of you! What do you want me to do?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria:: Mom, I&#8217;m sorry. I truly am. I didn&#8217;t want to cause you more pain than you&#8217;re already in. I mean, this is why it&#8217;s so difficult for me, but if this is what it takes for claire to be able to move forward, to have some sort of a future, I mean, how can I deny her that?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Nicholas, what about you? Do you think this is a good idea?<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Mom, of course, I don&#8217;t like it, but I support victoria always. In fact, I will go with you if you want me to.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Thank you, but that&#8217;s not necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Okay, then. It&#8217;s settled. I&#8217;ll just go back to my office.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Mom.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I hope you don&#8217;t come to regret this.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: She seems, uh, shaky. Is she all right?<\/p>\n<p>[ Victor grunting ]<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I don&#8217;t need any of this damn drama. You know, your mother is fighting for her life now. She&#8217;s going to those damn aa meetings and now, she has her sponsor trying to help her. But I know your mother. She&#8217;s strong and she will fight this and she will win. (Man) mm, hey, honey.<\/p>\n<p>Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door rattling ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Knocking on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Nikki? Darling, are you in there? Nikki? Sweetheart, are you in there?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Victoria. Are you okay? Um&#8230; how&#8217;s your mother doing? I hope she&#8217;s winning that battle.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: My mom told me that she was on the brink the other day and you pulled her back.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m glad I could help.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: That was very kind of you. I mean, especially because my family hasn&#8217;t treated you very well.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Ah, it&#8217;s in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: And, um, I hear that you&#8217;ve landed on your feet already back at chancellor-winters.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I am. Yes, um, I&#8217;m grateful for the second chance to be working with my family.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: They&#8217;re lucky to have you.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;ve been hearing things too. Are the rumors true? You took a leave from newman?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: For personal reasons, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: For you to make that choice to, uh, step back&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It&#8211; it was absolutely necessary, so.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Look, I know it&#8217;s not a move you&#8217;d make lightly. I&#8217;m sorry you have to go through this.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Thank you. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Victoria, um, I&#8217;d like to help if I could. Given what&#8217;s happened between us, you may not feel comfortable with it, but, um, if you want to talk about it, I&#8217;m here. I have the time.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: My whole world is turned upside-down right now and I don&#8217;t know what to do. I don&#8217;t know how to get to the other side. But, if you really don&#8217;t mind, I&#8217;ve&#8211; I&#8217;ve always valued your advice.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Nick. Uh&#8230; hi.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I was just telling sally about our victory with dad. We were, um, we were just celebrating.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Yeah. Congrats on your big pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Yeah, it went well.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Look, nick, I hope that this doesn&#8217;t wreck things. We had a great day as co-ceo.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Nah, we&#8217;re good.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Good, &#8217;cause I know we&#8217;re all a little sensitive after everything that happened and I just really don&#8217;t want to screw things up&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Adam, stop. Just stop.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Okay, well, have a good evening.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: You too.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Nick: Evan, single malt scotch, please.<\/p>\n<p>[ Phone ringing ] Evan, I gotta take this. I&#8217;ll be right back. Hey. Uh, yeah, that&#8217;s not gonna be a problem. and as bad as everything hasen!<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Lauren! Hello! I&#8211; I was just leaving. We&#8217;ll talk soon.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Whoa, wait. Nikki.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, you would not believe the meeting that I was just in with victor and nicholas and&#8211; and victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Are you&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: It was like my feelings were meaningless. And&#8211; and&#8211; and&#8211; and&#8211; and as bad as everything has been for us, to&#8211; to be completely ignored. I mean, it was like my thoughts meant nothing. I mean, I&#8211; I&#8211; you know, I&#8211; I&#8211; I just want a little peace, that&#8217;s all. Is it so hard to find some peace?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You&#8217;re not gonna find peace in a bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: How dare you.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Nikki.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, it&#8217;s just&#8230; it&#8217;s been really, um, hard.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: I know. So, let&#8217;s get you home. I&#8217;m gonna call victor.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: No, no, no! Don&#8217;t do that! Oh, oh. Oh, I got it. I&#8211; I got it. Hold on.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Okay, okay. Nikki, nikki. It&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I&#8217;m fine. You don&#8217;t need to call him.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You are so not fine.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I&#8217;ll take a cab-xi. Uh&#8230; a taxi.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Oh, and risk you going into the street and getting hit by a car again? Absolutely not. I&#8217;m gonna drive you home.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I can&#8217;t go home. Victor can&#8217;t see me.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Oh, okay. All right, look. I have an idea.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I don&#8217;t know where to start.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: The beginning is usually a good place.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Okay. That would be claire grace.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Um, nikki&#8217;s assistant. How does she fit into all of this?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: She&#8217;s my daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Excuse me?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: She&#8217;S&#8230; the baby we thought died after she was born. She was actually kidnapped from the hospital by her great aunt jordan who hates my family, my mother in particular.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: My god, I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: She raised claire to think that we didn&#8217;t want her. She raised her on lies and hatred. Promising her that one day, she would be able to punish the horrible newman family.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Wait, so claire coming back into your lives, it was planned for years?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: She gained my mother&#8217;s trust as a great assistant, then she lured her away to some remote location and had her held prisoner. Jordan hooked her up to an iv of alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: My god, that is horrific. That jordan would violate nikki like that and her sobriety. That is pure evil. And your daughter&#8230; raised as a weapon against you, her entire life a lie. How does someone come back from that?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I don&#8217;t know. I mean, we&#8217;re trying to get her all the help that we can. We were able to get her moved into a hospital in lieu of prison. Now&#8230; we&#8217;re trying to face the next big challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Which is?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Claire wants to confront jordan. Her therapists have signed off on it.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: And you?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I&#8211; I don&#8217;t want her anywhere near that woman. I mean, of course, I want for claire to find some sort of peace in all of this. I want her to be happy. I mean, I want her to have what she&#8217;s deserved all of those years. I mean, all the things she deserved that jordan took away from her. And I&#8211; I&#8217;m afraid for claire. I&#8211; I don&#8217;t want jordan to be able to hurt her again.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: That is a risk. But I believe you supporting claire in this is the right decision.<\/p>\n<p>[ Victoria sighing ] If she feels strong enough to face this woman, she should be given the opportunity to confront her about the abuse, the lies. It could absolutely be healing in this.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, that&#8217;s all I want. Thank you, I&#8211; thank you so much. I think hearing this from a doctor, you know, from you, makes me feel confident that we should move forward with this.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Victoria, I&#8230; can&#8217;t imagine how wrenching all of this has been for you.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Thanks. You know, I miss this. I miss our partnership. Being able to talk things through with you. Did everything that happened, did it really destroy what we had?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: A pot of coffee? Yeah, a large please. And extra hot.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: You know, lauren, that whole coffee thing doesn&#8217;t really work.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: I&#8217;m trying to tell myself that I&#8217;m helping you. Here, drink this.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Mm. Not interested. But, you are helping, by keeping this secret.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: A secret I don&#8217;t want to keep.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: It&#8217;s just this one time, lauren. I promise.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You&#8217;re not exactly in a position to make that promise.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, why do you say that? Because you think that I am drunk?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Nikki, you have an addiction and this is on jordan. I am so, so sorry that this happened to you. I know that your sobriety means everything to you and that you are fighting very hard to get it back.<\/p>\n<p>[ Nikki chuckling ]<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Well, not hard enough. I practically fell through the door of this fine establishment for all of genoa city to see, including my son.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Your family understands and so do your friends. You are not alone in this.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, no? Then why do I feel so very, very alone sometimes?<\/p>\n<p>[ Knocking on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Ah, thank you. Would you get that for me? Thanks. By the way, you can&#8217;t order alcohol up to the room.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh. Well, that was very thoughtful of you.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Anything I can do to help. Now&#8230; humor me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Ah. You know, you don&#8217;t have to worry about me. I&#8211; I don&#8217;t want another drink. I just want to sleep this off, that&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Victor is gonna worry about you. He&#8217;s probably expecting you home by now.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, god. That man. He can&#8217;t leave me alone. He calls me 10, 12 times a day. What am I doing? Where am I?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Because he&#8217;s concerned. He loves you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Phone ringing ]<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, god. Right on cue.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Well, answer it.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: I will not answer it because then he will know. You answer it.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You want me to lie to victor?<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Yeah. I&#8211; please. I mean, I&#8211; I&#8211; I&#8211; I&#8211; I&#8211; I will tell him everything after I get through tonight and&#8211; and then I am home, okay, please? Please, please, please, please, please. I&#8217;m adding downy unstopables to my wash.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Hello, victor.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Wait a minute. Lauren fenmore? Why are you answering the phone? Where&#8217;s nikki?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Uh, she&#8217;s with me.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I&#8217;ve been texting her all day. Never got an answer.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: That&#8217;s actually my fault. I had a fashion emergency at fenmore&#8217;s, and you know, nikki with her fashion sense to the rescue. Uh, we&#8217;ll probably be working through the night.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Okay, will you please put her on the phone?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Uh, she&#8230; can&#8217;t come to the phone right now.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Lauren&#8230; she&#8217;s been drinking, right?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>[ Victor sighing ]<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Okay. I&#8217;m going to have this conversation with her at home. Please keep an eye on her.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You know I will. Victor sends his love.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Just so we&#8217;re clear, this is a one off. I will never lie for you again.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki: Oh, you won&#8217;t need to. I&#8211; I&#8217;m fine now. You go on. Go home to michael.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You really think that I would leave you here alone? That is so not happening.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: As deeply as I care for you&#8230; I&#8217;ll never be able to accept the hold your father has on you. I&#8217;d always feel like I&#8217;m in a relationship with the newman clan and that&#8217;s just too much for me to handle. On the other hand, I could never ask you to walk away from them. I know your family is the center of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, thank you for being so honest.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: That&#8217;s what friends do. And I am your friend. I will happily listen to you if you need to talk. Give you my honest opinion if that&#8217;s what you want or just support you, if that&#8217;s what you need. Well, um, I guess I better get going.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Take care, victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: I&#8217;m afraid all I have left are the less exciting flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Are you okay? Seeing nick like that?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, it definitely wasn&#8217;t the most comfortable moment I&#8217;ve had all day, but I guess I have to get used to it. I mean, he&#8217;s your brother and you work together, so you know, it&#8217;s bound to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Are you saying that this date went so well that there could be more?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, I don&#8217;t know.
