00:00Hi baby girl. Hey dad.
00:14Very sorry we couldn't stick around longer and wait for your mom.
00:19How's Christian's earache? Oh, it's better. Yeah, thanks.
00:23Yeah, I'm sorry I bailed too. Tessa was closing here and then we had an emergency with the
00:28babysitter. So tell us, what happened when Sharon came home? Did you guys talk?
00:37Not exactly. What happened?
00:40It got so late, I went to bed. This morning, she was gone.
00:46Gone? I woke up to a text from her. She came home
00:51last night, packed a bag and took off. I never even heard her.
00:55What do you mean? Where did she go? What did she say?
00:58Madison. For a Cassidy First meeting. That meeting was on my calendar. Why would
01:04she take it instead? I don't know. The only other thing she said
01:09was that she wanted to make sure that whatever is bothering me could wait until she got home
01:13from the trip. At least she was checking on you.
01:18Did you respond to the text? It sounded so rational, so like mom. I think
01:27I messed up, dad. I choked. I told her that it wasn't urgent, that she didn't need to
01:32rush back. If anything happens to mom, it's my fault, isn't it?
01:49You worried that your loving family is going to screech into the parking lot?
01:57No, of course not. They should be. Because your cover story
02:03is flimsy as hell. Well, it was your idea, so you don't get
02:11to criticize me now. No, no, no, sweetheart. This is all on you.
02:17I'm just cheering you on from this lovely, seedy dive of a motel in the very wrong side
02:25of town. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean Madison. Would you shut up?
02:29I'm just making an observation. For someone as smart as you, how could you come up with
02:34such a dumb story? Telling your girls that you have to leave in the middle of the night
02:39for a last minute meeting in Madison? How hard is that to fact check?
02:44Shut up! And they will fact check it, you know, because
02:48your family didn't believe you. And what do you think is going to happen when they find
02:53out you lied?
03:14So, now that Winters is just Winters again, I want to revisit you joining the board.
03:22I'd welcome that. Good.
03:27Oh, hello. Are you two playing hooky?
03:32Just fueling up for the long day. Yeah, how are you doing?
03:37I'm good. How are you doing?
03:40I'm good. How are you doing?
03:43I'm good. How are you doing?
03:47Just fueling up for the long day. Yeah, how are you doing?
03:52Any updates on getting control of the chancellor again?
03:55Are you still considering taking Billy to court over your wrongful termination?
03:59Well, turns out lawyers might not be necessary. What does that mean?
04:04Has Billy come to his senses? Or has Jill finally stepped in?
04:07Let's just say I have a plan, and I am very confident it's going to work out.
04:12Okay. Well, that's good, because Billy sounded pretty damn confident in his ability to have success with Abbott Chancellor.
04:19Yeah, well, the difference is I actually have a plan, and he's just cocky, which will be his downfall, as usual.
04:25Okay. It's nice to hear that you have confidence.
04:28What, you don't think I can make it happen?
04:31I don't even know what you're trying to make happen, but I just don't want you to underestimate what Billy's capable of if he feels threatened.
04:39Alyssa, I need you to be very specific with me. What reason did the CEO of Odyssey 7 give for pulling out of the meeting?
04:48He said he wanted to look over the terms of the contract before he was comfortable with committing. That's exactly what he said.
04:55That means he's bailing on the deal.
05:00This was practically a done deal, so what happened?
05:05What happened?
05:06Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. We said he was eccentric, right? He's maybe waiting for his biorhythms to be right or the stars to align or something.
05:16Okay, but I gave him a deal that no one in their right mind would turn down.
05:21So someone got to him, and that someone is someone who hates me and wants to see me fail.
05:29Victor is trying to sabotage this deal.
05:33I mean, who do you think would go to Victor to tell him?
05:37Lily teed it up for him.
05:39Makes perfect sense. Honestly, she wanted to steal the company out from under you.
05:45Now she's mad, so she would have no problem giving Victor some big fat juicy secret about Abbott Chancellor.
05:52And then he runs with it because he wants nothing more than to see me go down, especially if he's pulling the trigger.
05:57Yeah, they have the same vision, the two of them.
06:00They're possibly in this together, Billy.
06:05When Lily was throwing around her threats, I told her she's got nothing to fight with.
06:10And her response was one of bet.
06:13She knew.
06:16She had Victor in her back pocket as her secret weapon.
06:20You know, Billy, even if Lily did align herself with Victor, she's.
06:27And she's not as smart and savvy as she thinks she is.
06:32What do you mean by that?
06:35Remember when you told me.
06:38That Victor warned her about getting out because he was going to come after Abbott.
06:44That Victor warned her about getting out because he was going to come after Abbott Chancellor.
06:52You know, remember what I said?
06:54I said it's very odd.
06:56That Victor would try to protect someone outside of his family.
07:00But what if it wasn't about that at all?
07:05He set a trap.
07:07Yeah.
07:09If it was just calculated.
07:12To manipulate her.
07:15I mean, Victor really does fancy himself the master chess player, doesn't he?
07:21So Victor set up Lily in order to use her.
07:24Yeah.
07:26I mean, coming to her with all this fatherly advice, you could trust me.
07:34It was just manipulating her with that.
07:37So in turn, she feels loyalty to him.
07:40So she goes to him and arms him with all this Abbott Chancellor intel.
07:46So he can pull a sneak attack like this.
07:49Okay.
07:50I mean, that sounds like something Victor would do.
07:52But Lily is smart enough.
07:55To realize when someone is trying to pull the wool over her eyes and she knows that she can't trust Victor.
08:01Oh, but it's not about being smart or savvy.
08:06She's emotional.
08:09That's her weakness.
08:11She truly thinks that you took this company out from under her.
08:15She's not quitting without a fight.
08:21She's not focused.
08:23She's not thinking about the long game.
08:26Or she knows exactly what she's doing and she doesn't care about the fallout.
08:29Even if it affects her as long as I go down.
08:32Good luck to us trying to prove this.
08:34Victor is so good at covering his tracks.
08:37Well, we're going to bet that Lily isn't.
08:39And maybe she'll gloat.
08:41Or maybe I will tick her off so much that she'll let something slip.
08:45At least we'll know we're on the right track.
08:48Do you think it's wise to go to her?
08:51Phyllis, I worked too hard to get this deal done.
08:55A deal that's going to take Abbott Chancellor to the next level.
08:57So I'm not going to let Victor or Lily take that away from me.
09:05Lily is way too busy tripping over his own ego to be a threat.
09:08Trust me.
09:10Sure, that's usually the case.
09:12But don't forget that we've underestimated him before.
09:16Because he came to Chancellor Winters as a temporary replacement for you.
09:20And then weaseled his way into a C-suite.
09:22And despite our efforts, he pulled that off.
09:24He pushed for the demerger, slapped his name on Chancellor, and fired you.
09:29Now he's king of the hill.
09:31My guess is, it was his ultimate plan all along.
09:35Well, it's not over yet.
09:37And I am not giving up until I'm back where I belong.
09:40Okay.
09:42Well, just remember that you have options.
09:44And my offer still stands for you to come back to Winters with us.
09:47It would be great.
09:49Our family working together again.
09:51I know. Thank you.
09:53I really appreciate the offer.
09:55But I'm not going to let Billy burn Chancellor to the ground.
09:59I'm always in your corner, Lily.
10:01But you've got to know, this is going to get a lot uglier before it gets better.
10:05That's fine. I'm ready for it.
10:07Genius that you are, there's no guarantee you're going to win.
10:11Look, trust me, okay?
10:13While Billy is going around pretending like he's this master dealmaker,
10:17my plan is already in place.
10:19And when he realizes what's happening,
10:20it's going to be too late to stop it.
10:22And what exactly are you going to do?
10:35Well, that's fascinating.
10:37What? Who is it?
10:39It's Billy. He wants to meet.
10:42Why does he want to meet you?
10:44Because my plan is already working, okay?
10:47And he is feeling the heat.
10:52Look, it's absolutely not your fault.
10:55Nothing is going to happen to your mom.
10:57What if I had just stayed awake?
10:59Yeah, and if we hadn't have left.
11:01But you know what? We did.
11:03So let's not play the blame game, okay?
11:05When you saw Sharon at the coffeehouse,
11:07and you told her that we needed her to come home for Faith,
11:10did it seem like she had any clue what we were planning?
11:13I don't know. Like I said, she, uh...
11:15She's with Daniel, and she seemed contrite, remorseful.
11:20I don't know.
11:22It seemed like there was something off about it.
11:24What, like it was an act?
11:28Maybe.
11:30What if Mom figured it all out?
11:32Left town to avoid us?
11:38Oh, it's from Sharon.
11:40What does it say?
11:41The man that I was supposed to meet with
11:44wanted to speak with her directly,
11:47so she decided it was best to take the meeting herself.
11:50That's it?
11:52Also, she's sorry for the last-minute change in plans,
11:56and that she didn't let me know sooner.
11:58I mean, it almost sounds legit.
12:01Maybe it is.
12:03Maybe Mom felt she needed to do this.
12:06Take the meeting, prove that she's getting better.
12:08That her meds are finally working,
12:11and she's pulling herself together.
12:13Yeah, I really want to believe that.
12:16But you don't, do you?
12:19You think Mom is in trouble.
12:27I'm not saying that Sharon is in trouble, okay?
12:31There's a lot about this situation that makes total sense,
12:35and there's some that she doesn't.
12:36Like her leaving in the middle of the night.
12:40What do you think?
12:42I gotta be honest.
12:44For her to leave,
12:46spur of the moment on this business trip,
12:49I don't know, I mean,
12:51Sharon's a mom first.
12:53Nothing comes before her children.
12:56And for her to leave after I told her that you needed her,
13:01doesn't sit well with me.
13:02But I did tell her it was nothing urgent.
13:05After she texted you.
13:07After she left town.
13:09So, you are worried.
13:11When you spoke to Sharon at the coffeehouse,
13:13are you sure that she didn't suspect anything?
13:16I don't know.
13:18I told her that I would drive her home,
13:20but she insisted on driving her own car.
13:23She said she would be right behind me.
13:25And instead,
13:27she waited until we were gone,
13:29and Faith was asleep.
13:30And packed a bag and left.
13:32I'm afraid she may have used this business trip
13:35as an excuse to run.
13:38Well, there's only one way to find out.
13:45I had to tell them something, alright?
13:49Nick,
13:51those girls,
13:53they're smart,
13:55they're worried,
13:57and they know something's up.
13:58So you've got to know
14:00they're going to call that hotel in Madison
14:02to make sure you showed up.
14:04Oh, I've got that covered.
14:06I did a remote check-in for Mike Bones,
14:08so as far as that hotel is concerned,
14:10I'm there.
14:12I don't care what the hotel thinks.
14:14It's what Nick thinks that matters.
14:17Faith? Mariah?
14:19They're probably calling that hotel right now.
14:22Stop.
14:24Here's a fun thought.
14:25What happens when Mariah
14:27calls the guy that you're supposed to have the meeting with
14:30and he doesn't have any idea
14:32what the hell she's talking about?
14:34Please!
14:36She is going to run straight to Nick.
14:38And then what are you going to do?
14:40How are you going to talk your way out of that?
14:42Or what, are you just going to run away
14:44and never go home again?
14:46I said stop!
14:48You are in a bind of your own making.
14:50It doesn't look good.
14:52Everything was so last minute.
14:53I did the best I could.
14:59I'm starting to suspect
15:02that it isn't your best.
15:24Lily tried to screw you over
15:26and now she's playing victim?
15:28Where'd she get off
15:30thinking that she could run your family's company?
15:32Why did Jill give her control anyway?
15:35That's my question.
15:37I mean, you tried to make it work.
15:39Where'd that get you?
15:41Oh, it got you a knife in your back.
15:45It's Lily.
15:48Unless you're willing to give Chancellor back to me,
15:50there's nothing to say.
15:52Give Chancellor back to me?
15:54This is crazy.
15:56Where does she get off making demands like this?
15:59I don't know.
16:01But we're going to find out.
16:08Oh, it's Billy.
16:10What a surprise.
16:12Don't you know her?
16:14Are you kidding?
16:16And miss what he's going to say?
16:17I don't think so.
16:19Hello?
16:21Well, I wasn't sure you'd pick up.
16:23Oh, and miss you telling me
16:25that you're in over your head
16:27running Abbott Chancellor alone?
16:29Actually, things are going great over here.
16:31But we need to meet up.
16:33I'm not going to waste my time.
16:35Lily, I know what you're up to.
16:38And you're making a serious mistake.
16:48I'm making a mistake?
16:50I mean, you're the one who sounds worried.
16:53You need some help?
16:55Actually, I'm hard at work here.
16:57And let me guess, you're on an all-day coffee break?
16:59I'm going to hang up now.
17:01Wait, Lily.
17:03I'm worried about you
17:05and what you're getting yourself into.
17:07Oh, you're worried about me?
17:09Where was this worry
17:11when you were kicking me out the door?
17:13Believe it or not, I'm trying to give you a lifeline.
17:15No, you fired me.
17:17Bye, Billy.
17:25Damn it.
17:31So Billy really wants you to believe
17:33that he's worried about you?
17:35Does he have reason to be?
17:37No, of course not.
17:39Just Billy being Billy.
17:41Trust me, I have everything under control.
17:43Are you sure?
17:45Sorry, are you doubting me?
17:47I believe in you 100%.
17:49You just haven't shared this plan of yours with us.
17:51So maybe if you do that, we can help you.
17:58Voicemail.
18:01Hey, Sharon, it's me.
18:04I was just calling to check in about the meeting.
18:09Let me know if you need any help prepping.
18:12Okay, love you. Bye.
18:15What now?
18:18Why don't I go to Madison?
18:22I can track Sharon down.
18:25I can see how she's doing.
18:27You just showing up like that,
18:29what if it freaks her out and she really takes off?
18:31Well, we don't know for sure
18:33that your mom knows we were planning an intervention
18:35or that she took off because of it.
18:37I won't let her know that we're concerned.
18:40I won't confront her.
18:42I'll just claim that I'm up to speed on the negotiations,
18:45see if she needs any backup in the meeting.
18:48We can do the meeting together and then come home together.
18:55What do you think?
18:58How soon can you leave?
19:01Did you just send Mariah's call to voicemail?
19:06Boy, you are hitting it out of the park today.
19:08Well, what would I say?
19:11I don't know.
19:13I'm fine.
19:15I've been prepping for the meeting.
19:17Everything's under control.
19:19Maybe, I don't know, throw in some mom crap
19:21so they maybe believe that you're the mom they want you to be.
19:26I just need some time to think, okay?
19:30Well, for God's sake, I hope you get to the thinking part soon
19:33because you are not doing yourself any favors
19:37unless this is what you want.
19:42What is that supposed to mean?
19:45Maybe you're trying to get caught.
19:49Oh, that is ridiculous.
19:51Is it?
19:53Because it seems to me like you're intentionally making bad choices,
19:57trying to give yourself away
19:59because we all know what happens then.
20:02Nick the hero rides to the rescue,
20:05saving little old you yet again.
20:10That is not what I want.
20:13Are you sure, Sharon?
20:15Because I know just how smart you are,
20:20how capable,
20:22and how when it comes time to bury the knife,
20:25you don't hesitate.
20:27So I don't think you'd be making these asinine mistakes
20:31if you didn't want to get caught.
20:36Maybe I am not clever enough.
20:41Maybe this whole thing is a disaster.
20:43I mean, obviously, I'm past the point of having any rational thoughts.
20:47Look at me, for God's sake.
20:49I'm talking to a dead man who once wanted to kill me.
20:52I loved you.
20:55You are a madman
20:59who is only in my head.
21:01And maybe the reason why you're here
21:04is because I have gone over the edge.
21:06Maybe I do need my family to intervene.
21:08Maybe I do need to be put away.
21:13As tough as you are, you don't need to do this alone.
21:16We've got your back.
21:18Whatever you need.
21:20Well, thank you, but I can handle myself.
21:22We know you can, but it never hurts to have backup.
21:25Look, wouldn't I just have some faith
21:27that I can hold my own against Billy,
21:29or anyone else, for that matter?
21:31Yeah, sure.
21:33Yeah, I guess we'll then just
21:35cheer you on from the sidelines
21:37and be ready to celebrate when you have Chancellor back in your hands.
21:39Where it belongs.
21:41Good luck.
21:43Thank you, but
21:45I don't need luck.
21:47Bye.
21:49Bye.
21:51I'm glad I caught you.
21:53Are you for real? Are you actually stalking me now?
21:55No, I just thought I could buy you a cup of coffee.
21:57Okay, don't do that.
21:59Don't try and be charming.
22:01And if you think that you're going to bully me,
22:03I promise you it's not going to work.
22:05I wouldn't dare do that, Lily.
22:07Okay, great. Well, I'm going to go on my day.
22:09Actually, we need to talk.
22:11Okay, I'll start.
22:13You know Chancellor's back,
22:15and you're not going to see it coming.
22:17You know exactly how you're coming at me.
22:19And I'm telling you right now,
22:21it's not going to work.
22:25You didn't eat much breakfast.
22:27I'm not hungry.
22:32Hey, um,
22:34do you remember that time
22:36you were just a tiny little thing,
22:39and you decided that you wanted to spend
22:41all night in the backyard by yourself
22:45just to prove you were a big girl?
22:49Yes.
22:51Mom set you up with that little tent,
22:54filled it full of snacks,
22:56gave you a flashlight.
22:58You remember that?
23:00And I lasted about 20 minutes.
23:02The rustling in the bushes,
23:04that owl,
23:06all of those noises seemed so much scarier in the dark.
23:08I couldn't get back to the house fast enough.
23:11And what'd your mom do
23:13when you came running into the house?
23:15Told me that
23:17sometimes it's easier to be brave together.
23:20And she went outside with me,
23:23and we counted the stars,
23:25and ate the snacks.
23:28And we saw the owl fly,
23:30and it was beautiful.
23:32It's one of my favorite memories.
23:35And who was that?
23:37And who made you the best bacon and eggs you've ever had
23:41in your life the next morning?
23:43That's right, it's me.
23:46Listen,
23:48this family
23:50is so much stronger
23:52than any scary noises in the dark.
23:54And your mom is the strongest of all of us,
23:57and the bravest.
23:59Faith, she's gonna be okay.
24:01Alright?
24:03We're gonna make sure of that.
24:07Go away.
24:09It's over.
24:11I'm done.
24:13I do not want this.
24:15I do not want to be crazy.
24:17Finished?
24:19Go away.
24:21I want you gone.
24:23This is over.
24:25No, you don't, Sharon.
24:27And now that you've gotten all that fear
24:29and that anger out of your system,
24:31now we can start the real work.
24:33Agreed.
24:34What is it like
24:36getting you out of my head
24:38and getting my sanity back?
24:40Let me ask you,
24:42exactly how happy were you
24:44with all that so-called sanity?
24:46A sad,
24:48boring little life
24:50shuffling along,
24:52dreaming of the past,
24:54never admitting to yourself
24:56what you deserved,
24:58what you lost.
25:00But now,
25:02your eyes are open.
25:04Oh, I'm not going anywhere.
25:06You need me.
25:08No, I don't.
25:10Sharon,
25:12my one purpose
25:15is your happiness.
25:18How to get it.
25:20And all those ideas
25:22bouncing around in your head,
25:24who else can you share those with, huh?
25:26No one. Me.
25:28I shouldn't even be having these ideas.
25:30See, that's your problem right there.
25:32Stop judging yourself.
25:34And let's get to it.
25:37But...
25:39my family...
25:41They are not your salvation, Sharon.
25:44They are your reward.
25:46But in order to get that reward,
25:48you're going to have to right
25:50the wrong that was done
25:52all those years ago.
25:54You do that,
25:56and you will have everything
25:58you have ever wanted.
26:00Starting with Nick.
26:02You don't know that.
26:04Oh, I do.
26:06I do think about it.
26:08Instead of having to save you,
26:11you're going to do
26:13what you need to do
26:15to save yourself.
26:17And he will see that.
26:19And he'll feel that power.
26:22And he'll be drawn to it.
26:24And he'll realize
26:26he never should
26:28end
26:29end.
26:31It kills me to say this, but...
26:36I finally see it.
26:40He never could have loved me.
26:42But you love him.
26:45And even though I'm dead
26:47by your hand,
26:50God help me, I still love you.
26:53And I want you to be happy.
26:56So let me help you with this.
26:59Nick Fit is my gift to you.
27:04But so many things could go wrong.
27:07No, no, baby, we won't let that happen.
27:10Because starting now,
27:12you are taking control.
27:15You're going to make a plan,
27:17and you're going to see it through.
27:19I know
27:21that you've got the courage
27:23and the strength to make this happen.
27:25I do.
27:27Remember something.
27:29It's important
27:31to be smart enough
27:33not to get caught.
27:41Shouldn't we step in?
27:44No, I think we should
27:47do what Lilly asks
27:48and trust that she can handle herself.
27:50She thinks she's got a hand, we'll step in, though.
27:53I mean, really, how desperate are you
27:55ambushing me like this?
27:56That's not what this is.
27:57Hi.
27:58This is a private conversation.
28:01I'm aware of that.
28:03Okay, well, you're still here.
28:05Yes, I'm with him.
28:08I am Abbott Chancellor's
28:11new COO.
28:14Wow.
28:16Wow.
28:19Are you kidding?
28:20I mean, could you possibly
28:22stoop any lower?
28:29I'm sorry,
28:31but I can't
28:33imagine anything lower
28:35than pretending
28:37to be partners with someone
28:39and then screwing them over.
28:41Excuse me?
28:42Yeah.
28:44Billy,
28:45he trusted you to run
28:47Abbott Chancellor with him,
28:48and what did you do?
28:49You double-crossed him.
28:51Okay, you clearly have
28:53one side of the story.
28:54You're getting what you deserve.
28:55Well, let's do mine.
28:56Grab me a Danish.
28:57I'm showing my loyalty.
28:59Something you know very little about.
29:01Wow.
29:02Your guard dog is trained so well.
29:06Actually, Phyllis
29:07agrees with the vision
29:09for Abbott Chancellor,
29:10and she's ready to work
29:11towards a common goal
29:13without all the interior motives,
29:14you know?
29:15Because that's what I'm looking for
29:16in a COO,
29:17someone I can trust
29:19that won't lie to my face.
29:21Oh.
29:22Did Chance lie to your face?
29:24Is that why you got rid of him?
29:25Or was he too honest with you
29:26about how you can't run
29:28Abbott Chancellor without me?
29:29Actually, Chance had
29:31very specific expectations
29:32on his position at the company,
29:34and I didn't think that he had
29:35the experience for that,
29:36so I accepted his resignation,
29:38and I wished him well.
29:39Oh, okay.
29:40Well, clearly, by your latest hire,
29:42you're surrounding yourself
29:43with yes people.
29:45Um,
29:46by goodness,
29:47for your information,
29:48I'm partly—
29:49Actually, you know,
29:50Phyllis speaks her mind.
29:51It's one of the things
29:52I appreciate about her.
29:54And she's got a fantastic
29:55corporate background
29:56and a hell of an IT background
29:57as well,
29:58so I think she's
29:59very well prepared
30:00to handle the company.
30:02Yeah.
30:03Well, I mean,
30:04until she decides to
30:05fake her own death again,
30:07then I don't know
30:08what you're going to do.
30:09But my goodness,
30:10that was uncalled for.
30:11But, I mean,
30:12if you think that you can
30:13trust Phyllis,
30:14you're an idiot.
30:15Well, maybe
30:16because I thought
30:17I could trust you.
30:19Okay, well,
30:20if there's nothing else,
30:21I'm going to go now.
30:22No, there is something else
30:23starting with Odyssey 7.
30:28What about Odyssey 7?
30:30Trouble with your negotiations?
30:32Negotiations were going
30:33just fine
30:34until someone got
30:35to the CEO
30:36and he started to pull back.
30:38Yeah, he probably
30:39saw the numbers again
30:40and realized
30:41what a bad deal it is.
30:42No, it's a fantastic deal
30:43and he knew that.
30:46You got to him, Lily.
30:49I got—
30:50I got to him?
30:51There was only three people
30:52that knew about this plan.
30:53Me, you, and Chance.
30:56And Chance doesn't play dirty.
30:57Oh, but I do.
30:59Well, you said
31:00you wanted to fight back,
31:01even though I was well
31:02within my rights
31:03to fire you
31:04given your betrayal.
31:05So maybe you figured out
31:06that if you did
31:07take this to the court of law,
31:08you were going to lose.
31:09What'd you decide?
31:10You decided to swim big
31:11and you went to Victor,
31:13trying to convince him
31:14to sabotage the deal.
31:15Oh, my God.
31:16You think that
31:17Victor and I
31:18are teaming up?
31:19I mean, Billy,
31:20you're so paranoid.
31:22Billy, you know damn well
31:23the CEO of Odyssey 7
31:24isn't going to answer your call.
31:27But he definitely
31:28will answer Victor's.
31:29Hmm.
31:31Okay, where's your proof
31:32for these accusations?
31:35I respected you.
31:37I mean, you were one of the few
31:38in the corporate world
31:39that had real integrity,
31:40but this move,
31:42taking confidential information
31:43to Victor,
31:44that's beneath you.
31:47So if there's any chance for you,
31:48you will realize
31:49and you will be ashamed
31:52of what you just did.
32:03What'd he say?
32:18Is everything he said true?
32:24I mean, can you believe, Billy,
32:26like how paranoid he is?
32:28And Phyllis as his COO?
32:30I mean, that is ridiculous.
32:33Come on, be straight with us.
32:36Are you really colluding with Victor
32:37to take down Billy?
32:40Are you out of your mind?
32:48I'm sorry.
33:19Here it is.
33:22That's the look I've been waiting for.
33:23It needs to be done.
33:26And it's going to work.
33:29It has to.
33:43Mom?
33:49Hey, Mom, it's me.
33:52Are you in there?
34:04What if I did go to Victor?
34:07The man doesn't help people
34:08out of the goodness of his heart.
34:11No, he's like
34:12the definition of ruthless.
34:14Okay, well, maybe I need
34:15some ruthlessness on my side.
34:18And what if it comes back
34:19to bite you?
34:21Our families have known
34:22each other for years.
34:23Devon's going to be
34:24his son-in-law.
34:25He's been very supportive
34:26of my career.
34:27Really, you know,
34:28he doesn't care about
34:29stuff like that.
34:30He's cut out his own family
34:31when it comes to business.
34:32Who the hell are you?
34:33Okay, I am confident
34:35that our partnership
34:36is going to work.
34:37Your partnership?
34:38You already,
34:39you have a deal with him?
34:42Okay, fine.
34:43I will tell you
34:44I am going to help Victor
34:46take Billy out.
34:48And take back control
34:49of Abbott Chancellor.
34:50And then he's going to
34:51reinstate me as CEO.
34:54Did you get that in writing?
34:56Based on my history
34:57with the man,
34:58I guarantee you
34:59he has other plans.
35:00Because you were burned, Nate?
35:02This is a very different situation.
35:04Lily, I've been on the inside.
35:06I've seen the man in action.
35:08Victor is not going after
35:10a white, well-liked Chancellor
35:11and not planning to
35:12keep it in the family.
35:13Yeah, I'm going to have
35:14to agree with Nate.
35:15Because, I mean,
35:16whatever he promised you
35:17just be careful, will you?
35:19Okay, do you both think
35:20that I'm that stupid?
35:22No, nobody thinks you're stupid.
35:24Okay, well I know what I'm doing.
35:26I know what Victor's capable of.
35:28So instead of worrying about me,
35:29why don't you have some respect
35:31for what I'm capable of?
35:32We do not mean to upset you.
35:34Okay, well then stop
35:35underestimating me.
35:36I know what I want
35:37and how I'm going to get it.
35:39Okay?
35:40I will show you.
35:48Well, Lily definitely tried
35:49to play it cool,
35:50which is to be expected.
35:52Yeah, she has a chip
35:53on her shoulder.
35:55Okay, Phyllis, tell me
35:57what's your gut say?
35:59Well, she's guilty.
36:00I mean, she's definitely guilty
36:01for conspiring with Victor
36:03so he can torpedo your deal
36:05with Odyssey 7,
36:07so he can sink your company
36:09before it even has a chance
36:10to launch.
36:11I'm right there with you.
36:13What do we do?
36:16What do we do about this?
36:19Before we go there,
36:20I just have to say
36:21you showing up at Crimson Lights,
36:22I'm not a fan.
36:23I was expecting to have
36:24a one-on-one with Lily.
36:25All right, you're not a fan.
36:26I'm sorry.
36:28You know what it showed Lily?
36:30It showed that you have
36:31reinforcements.
36:33It's one way to look at it.
36:34Yeah, it's the only way
36:35to look at it.
36:36Billy, come on.
36:38I'm your wingman.
36:40You know, I'm here for you.
36:41I believe in you.
36:43I believe in this company.
36:45I believe in everything
36:46that you stand for.
36:48I'm here through the thick of it.
36:51I'm standing right beside you.
36:53Hell, I'm standing behind you.
36:57Come on, if you have a problem
36:58with that,
36:59we need to rethink
37:00our arrangement.
37:04Something's telling me
37:05that we're going to make
37:06a very good team.
37:07Oh, there is no doubt
37:10in my mind.
37:14I see it now.
37:18This is the only choice I have.
37:23And the scales have fallen
37:25from her eyes.
37:35It's Mariah, again.
37:37She's called twice already.
37:39And maybe Andro's
37:40the better answer.
37:44Hi, sweetheart.
37:46I'm sorry I missed your call.
37:48I'm getting ready for the meeting.
37:50Can I call you back
37:51when it's over?
37:53Actually, that's the thing.
37:55I'm here in Madison,
37:57outside your hotel room.
37:59Where are you?
