00:00Hey, I wasn't expecting to see you.
00:21I decided to work from home today.
00:24Harrison's upstairs getting ready.
00:26He is beyond thrilled it's a teacher's birthday, he doesn't have to go to school.
00:30This part, he gets to hang with you.
00:33Well, he's the best part of my day, too.
00:39Are you okay?
00:43Why wouldn't I be?
00:44Just another day in the life, watching my parents implode in front of me, and you, and
01:22Hey, what's up?
01:32Thanks for meeting me here.
01:33Sure.
01:34Sure.
01:35I love getting fresh air.
01:36What's, uh, what's this about though?
01:38Is that Amy Lewis woman still coming into town tomorrow?
01:41Uh, yeah, as far as I know, but, uh, this is about, uh, Quentin's business and I hope
01:47you'll keep an open mind.
01:50Quentin's really something I'm not going to lie here.
01:54I think we should hire Audra Charles.
02:07Good afternoon.
02:09Hi.
02:11We need to talk.
02:15I understand if we both got screwed over by the same person, Victor Newman.
02:24So anyone doing media articles, a followup drops today, smoothing over Rogers departure
02:33from the side.
02:34Oh, and you're going to love the one bearing Billy had Abbott Chancellor as ordered.
02:43So you understand why I'm doing this, right?
02:46What you said about Nikki and Jack, but you understand where I draw the line with Jack,
02:55but you don't mind taking down Billy Abbott couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
03:06Hello Victor.
03:07Chelsea.
03:08My goodness.
03:09Nice to see you.
03:10Good to see you too.
03:12I will make sure he gets them.
03:17Well, if you don't mind my saying so, that's very nice to see you're co-parenting should
03:25be.
03:32I don't have time.
03:33Oh, you would.
03:34If you went along with my plan.
03:36And by the way, you are welcome for the coffee.
03:39Have you decided what you're going to do?
03:43Fire me, not fire me.
03:44I'll tell you the best option.
03:45Pretend to fire me.
03:47Honestly, Billy, let me work in a stealth capacity.
03:52Okay.
03:53I will get the company through these rough patches and boom it.
03:59You will become a superstar.
04:01Everyone will love you.
04:02They'll love me too.
04:03It's a no brainer.
04:04Phyllis.
04:05I'm not.
04:06I don't like the idea of you working in a stealth capacity, but I already set everything
04:11up.
04:12Listen, hold on a second.
04:13I need you to just give me some space.
04:15Okay, let me get my mom off my back about firing you and I will bring you back when
04:19I can.
04:20No, you won't.
04:21No, no.
04:22It's got to be now.
04:23No, it's got it.
04:24You got to give me a little bit of space.
04:25What you got to do.
04:26No, whatever, Billy.
04:27Whatever.
04:29Hello.
04:30Hi.
04:31I didn't want to interrupt.
04:32I know you're busy.
04:33You have a company to run.
04:34So that makes sense.
04:35It's okay.
04:36You want to sit?
04:37Yeah.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Yeah.
04:44You have no time to talk business, but you have time for her.
05:08I was hoping I would run into you.
05:14Must've been hard.
05:15Hmm.
05:16To see my father verbally attack my mother?
05:19In public, no less.
05:20I would love nothing more than to forget it ever happened.
05:24Hey, there.
05:26Hey.
05:27Oh, that is quite an outfit, partner.
05:29You going on a rodeo?
05:30Of course.
05:31Taking me to a farm where they make cheese and ice cream and we get to feed the goats
05:35and little cows.
05:36Little cows?
05:38I can see the appeal.
05:39Oh, you might actually need a jacket.
05:40It's a little bit windy.
05:41Then can we go?
05:42Absolutely.
05:43Bet.
05:44You can't catch me.
05:45Are you calling me slow?
05:46Ooh.
05:47Gotcha!
05:48Dad!
05:49I'm gonna get you!
05:50I'm gonna get you!
05:51No, come here, you two.
05:52To go, please.
05:54I would get you a coffee, but you look like you're good.
05:55I'm not.
05:56I'm not.
05:57I'm not.
05:58I'm not.
05:59I'm not.
06:00I'm not.
06:01I'm not.
06:02I'm not.
06:03I'm not.
06:04I'm not.
06:05I'm not.
06:06I'm not.
06:08Yeah, uh, look.
06:13About last night.
06:14No, we don't have to go there.
06:16No, I do.
06:17I need to go there.
06:18I need to apologize for kissing you.
06:26You didn't kiss me.
06:29We kissed each other.
06:33And call me crazy, but I feel like we both needed it.
06:38So you don't have to apologize.
06:41Okay.
06:43I mean, we know what it was.
06:44It was just hurt feelings and residual anger and, you know, a few, quite a few whiskey
06:50shots later and we kissed.
06:54You know, maybe we even both liked it, but, you know, it wasn't for the right reasons,
07:00so.
07:02Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that.
07:06So, um, I just thank you for not being offended.
07:13I mean, it could have been worse.
07:15I could have fallen straight into bed with you.
07:20Devon, she is a hell of a businesswoman.
07:24She has great instincts.
07:26Okay.
07:27She's passionate, creative, resilient.
07:30She'd be an asset to any company.
07:33Do you think maybe you're a little biased to Audra and her passion?
07:38She was smart enough to wrestle Glissade away from Tucker.
07:41She lost it to Kyle Abbott, right?
07:44You have to know Kyle had a hand in getting her booted from Glissade.
07:47Yes.
07:48I didn't know that, but it doesn't really matter either way because there's just no
07:53chance in hell I'm going to hire Audra.
07:57Let me guess.
07:58Nate told you?
08:01Victor cut you out of some deal you were working on together.
08:06My condolences.
08:07You know, I was really hoping to just enjoy my lunch in peace.
08:11Oh, lunch.
08:13That's right.
08:15Martini, extra olives.
08:17Oh, okay.
08:18You're staying?
08:21We're both out on our asses because of the great Victor Newman.
08:25We have a lot to discuss.
08:28Sure.
08:30All right.
08:31So I heard that you're heading up Glissade with Kyle and then all of a sudden you were
08:36gone.
08:37So how does Victor play into that?
08:40Well, I already violated my NDA.
08:43So I stopped now.
08:47Victor is the mystery investor who helped me take Glissade away from Tucker.
08:53I trusted him as far as you can trust the man.
08:58And then he fired me for no reason.
09:02Or maybe the reason is that you were dealing with Kyle and Victor and you were out of your
09:06league.
09:08Let me guess.
09:10You got screwed over because you play into that whole too smart to fail thing.
09:16Victor made me promises.
09:18Which you got in writing.
09:21Well, our families go way back.
09:25No paper.
09:27Yeah, you know what?
09:28You're right.
09:29It was.
09:31I mean, Victor is a master of the game and I fell for it.
09:35Ironic, isn't it?
09:37Even knowing who Victor is, what he's capable of, we still got played.
09:46But I am definitely going to get what I deserve.
09:53All right, we'll pump the brakes, pop.
09:55We're just exchanging shin guards, not wedding bands.
10:01I'm going to put these in the car.
10:04Victor.
10:05It's always good to see you.
10:07Good to see you.
10:08Chelsea.
10:09Yeah.
10:11Yeah.
10:15You and I have had our ups and downs.
10:18That's putting it nicely.
10:20Yeah.
10:23I've watched you become a remarkable woman.
10:27A great mother.
10:29I know that Adam and Sally split up.
10:35I also know that you and Billy Abbott ended things, right?
10:42So I just want to say, it was my two cents worth.
10:46Sally Spector was never right, Adam.
10:50You was right for him.
10:53That's all I'm going to say.
10:55You and I stayed.
11:01That's it.
11:03A hard pass without even thinking about it.
11:05Well, I don't trust Audra, so I'm certainly not going to hire her.
11:11And listen, if I'm being completely honest,
11:14whatever you guys have going on with each other, this relationship, whatever you're calling it,
11:18I really think you're setting yourself up for trouble.
11:22Listen, cousin, I don't need the judgment, okay?
11:27I'm just giving you my opinion because I don't want to see you get hurt.
11:30You know me well enough to know I can take care of myself.
11:33You're absolutely right, I do.
11:35And I don't mean to overstep, and I certainly don't want this to be an issue with us.
11:41So just know I'm grateful that we're working together.
11:52And I'm just as grateful to be a part of this family, slightest.
11:57There's no place I'd rather be.
11:59That's good to hear.
12:01That's great to hear.
12:03And we just have to convince Lily that this is where she needs to be.
12:08You still think that's an option?
12:11She seemed pretty adamant she had zero interest in joining us at Winters.
12:15Well, I'm not going to give up hope that she's going to make the right decision.
12:21We just have to get her to forget about battling Victor for Abbot Chancellor.
12:26Knowing how stubborn she is, I don't see that happening.
12:30Knowing how stubborn she is, I don't see that happening.
12:38Victor may think that he's won, but I am not going to stop until I'm back on top at Chancellor.
12:47The Winters and the Newmans, how'd you put it?
12:51Go way back.
12:53Make Daddy paved your way, how hard can it be?
12:56Do you even know what it's like to have to claw and scrape your way into a job you want?
13:05A life you want?
13:07I have worked very hard to get to where I am.
13:10Lily proving it.
13:13I maneuvered Tucker McCall out of his own company and he never saw it coming.
13:18No, no, no. You stole it.
13:21So I guess you missed the ethics course during your MBA.
13:25Well, some of us don't have the luxury of playing by the rules, Lily.
13:29Instead of cheating, why don't you trust yourself?
13:33Trust your gut.
13:34Don't listen to other people or the haters who underestimate you.
13:38And stop talking about what you want and take what's yours.
13:43Weird that you're practically cheerleading me to succeed.
13:49I mean, I guess I'm talking to myself as much as I'm telling you.
13:53I guess the question is, are we going to listen?
13:59You OK?
14:01Yeah. Just taking, taking that in.
14:04Your last comment there.
14:06I was just trying to lighten the mood.
14:08Well, good job.
14:12I mean, my friend did mention the whole rebound revenge sex thing.
14:17Oh, yeah.
14:19Is she a pro or maybe it wasn't a she? Pro or con?
14:23No, no, it was a pro.
14:25Oh, yeah.
14:27But, you know, in my experience, it always seems like a good idea.
14:31But in the end, it comes back to bite you.
14:34So I'm not really interested in making any more mistakes than I already have.
14:40Agreed.
14:42Good.
14:44You know, normally when I see you working, you're more fired up.
14:48Buffling with ideas about Abbott Chancellor.
14:51Are you still in a funk about what's going on there?
14:54You know, I have been busting my ass trying to do right by this company.
14:59And all I get for that is my mom ripping into me because she doesn't understand what I'm trying to do.
15:05Just do it.
15:07You know what you're doing.
15:09I mean, anyone would be crazy not to have complete faith in you to run Abbott Chancellor the way that it should be run.
15:16You're a long voice, Sally.
15:23Appreciate that.
15:26Cheers.
15:27Cheers.
15:28Yes.
15:29Both of.
15:30Why not?
15:38All right, let's get this jacket on, dude.
15:40And we're going to keep eating pigs and we can maybe milk a cow and maybe collect eggs right out from under the chickens.
15:47No way.
15:49You guys are going to have the best time.
15:51I expect lots of pictures, OK?
15:53It's a shame that you have to spend such a beautiful day inside.
15:56I didn't do any calls.
15:58You are the boss, though, right?
16:00I bet you haven't left your laptop in hours.
16:03He hasn't.
16:05Which leads me to believe that you've earned yourself a break.
16:08What do you think?
16:10Yes, yes, yes.
16:11Come with us, Dad.
16:12Please.
16:16Let's do this.
16:22Let's go.
16:25Well, this has been interesting.
16:29Definitely.
16:31Quite the unlikely lunch duo.
16:34Yeah, turns out Audra and I have a few things in common.
16:37Is that so?
16:39That is so.
16:41Dinner soon?
16:43Yes, you bet.
16:44All right, good to see you.
16:45You too.
16:50What was that about?
16:52Oh, just discussing job prospects.
16:56Must be in the air.
16:58I spoke to Devon about a position at Winters for you.
17:03You did what?
17:05What happened to you offering silent support, not trying to fix things?
17:10Did you not hear a word I said about wanting to stand on my own?
17:14Okay, hold on, Audra.
17:15No, you know,
17:18I can't believe that you would make me look like a charity case.
17:21I told you point blank that if you try to help me, this would be over.
17:25Congratulations.
17:26Audra, Audra.
17:27No, don't even try to talk yourself out of it.
17:30Let me lay out the facts.
17:32Hey, I meant every word I said the other day.
17:36Okay, I have enormous respect for your instincts and abilities.
17:41Someone with your savvy and guts would be a huge asset to Winters.
17:46That's why I recommended you.
17:49There's nothing charitable about that.
17:57Mr. Newman.
17:59Come on.
18:01Good to see you. How are you, my man?
18:02Good, how you doing?
18:03Are you looking forward to the wedding to my daughter?
18:07Yeah, yeah, I sure am.
18:10I gotta ask you, how do you,
18:13how do you do this and just act like everything's cool between us?
18:18Isn't it?
18:19You used my sister to get what you want and then you screwed her over.
18:22So, how do you figure it's cool?
18:25Oh, thank God, my old man is gone.
18:30I'm sorry.
18:33Did you tell Victor about Billy and me breaking up?
18:37Yes, I did.
18:39But it's not like he doesn't have eyes.
18:42Billy and Sally seem to be hanging out all over town.
18:46They obviously have gotten close.
18:50And I know that kills you.
18:53Look, despite all the horrible things that have happened,
18:57after everything you and Sally have been through,
19:00after everything you have shared,
19:02her love for you runs deep.
19:05A bond like that does not just go away.
19:08Okay?
19:09From the very beginning, she always saw the good in you.
19:12Just because you hurt her does not mean she stops caring.
19:16Yeah, well,
19:18even if that is true,
19:20even if that is true,
19:22the more time that she spends with Billy,
19:24she won't feel that way.
19:25Why are you always so negative?
19:27It's reality, okay?
19:29I've accepted that.
19:31Sally and I are through.
19:34I'm not interested in going back.
19:35What about you?
19:36Are you still holding out hope that Billy's gonna forgive you?
19:38I want him in my life.
19:40It's just very complicated.
19:44It's only complicated if you're holding on to something
19:46that is too broken to be fixed.
19:49Maybe it's time for you,
19:52for both of us,
19:54to move on.
19:57With each other?
20:00Is that what you really want?
20:08I am not the only one
20:10who thinks the future is ours if we want it.
20:14Connor feels it too.
20:16What's happening to you?
20:18What's happening between me and you?
20:20And he wants to be a family again.
20:22We are a family.
20:24Our version.
20:26Chelsea, do you know how in awe I am of you?
20:30Adam, I think...
20:31No, you just let me finish.
20:34Okay, from the beginning,
20:36when Connor was diagnosed,
20:38you were completely present with him.
20:42Your love, your encouragement,
20:44you gave him the confidence to deal with his diagnosis.
20:48You fought for him.
20:50And yes, even when we butted heads,
20:52you made him stronger.
20:55You made me stronger.
20:59I know we have a really messy past,
21:03and I get why that could scare you,
21:04but I feel like these last few months
21:06have brought out the best parts of us.
21:10And I think we have a whole new foundation
21:12for a future that could be amazing.
21:16Who wouldn't want that?
21:21It makes me happy we've gotten close.
21:24It feels real.
21:27Solid.
21:29But this just all seems like
21:31you're trying to fill a void in your life.
21:34You were just talking about the good
21:36that Sally sees in me.
21:39I heard it in your voice too.
21:41I know you can see it.
21:42I know you do.
21:44I think you should just be honest with yourself.
21:47Just take the leap
21:49and admit that your feelings are just as strong as mine.
21:55Just as much pain as it took to get here.
21:59Maybe this is how it was meant to be.
22:03Not just like Connor said.
22:06Just the three of us.
22:12You know what?
22:13I'm feeling much more inspired.
22:15So am I.
22:18But I do have some sketches I need to get done for a deadline,
22:21so I should go.
22:22Before you go,
22:23can you do that bar trick with coffee and napkin?
22:26Does that work?
22:29You are just going to have to wait
22:31and find out another time.
22:35But it does work better with whiskey.
22:42And you know,
22:44screw the doubters.
22:47You got this.
22:58Oh, Billy.
23:00What was that?
23:02Some little love fest?
23:04You're still here, Phyllis?
23:06Yes, I am still here.
23:08You don't have time for me?
23:10You don't have time for business?
23:12But you have time for a mutual pity party?
23:14That is none of your business.
23:16Oh, it's very much my business.
23:18Because...
23:21Billy.
23:22Get back together with Chelsea, please.
23:24You were doing so well.
23:26You really were.
23:28Stay even-keeled.
23:30Please, please spare us the agony of watching you
23:33dig yourself into a hole.
23:36Phyllis.
23:39You're dead wrong.
23:42Let's talk about this, all right?
23:44Let's please talk about it. I'd love to.
23:46So what's the problem? Be honest.
23:48The problem is that you promised Lily a job
23:51that you had no intention of giving her.
23:54None of this is bad for her, okay?
23:56How do you figure?
23:58Well, let me explain it to you.
24:00I would like Lily to forget about the idea of
24:03running our chancellor.
24:06I would like her to join you at Winters.
24:09Work by your side.
24:11That's what your father would have wanted.
24:14And that is what I will try to talk her into.
24:17I hope you will help me do that.
24:24You move pretty fast.
24:26I don't want to be headhunted by that goat.
24:28Were you worried?
24:30No way. He was little.
24:32What was your favorite animal?
24:34Definitely the pig.
24:36Did you see how she cuddled up to me?
24:38She even wanted a belly up.
24:40From Dad, too.
24:41She was awfully cute.
24:43I have an idea.
24:45Yes?
24:46You know who else said I wanted a puppy?
24:48What do you think if we get a baby pig instead?
24:51Or a goat?
24:52Oh, I think it is the perfect time
24:54for someone to go take a bath.
24:56Why don't you run upstairs,
24:58and I will be up in a few minutes.
25:00Okay.
25:02I'm glad you came, Dad.
25:04It was awesome.
25:06I was going to say the exact same thing.
25:10You stink. Go take a bath.
25:15That's the best kid ever.
25:17I would have to agree with you.
25:19I was ready to die in between him and that goat.
25:22You were very heroic.
25:26Looks like you brought home a souvenir.
25:29Oh, thanks.
25:33Harrison had the best time.
25:35So did I.
25:38You did it again.
25:40Did what?
25:42You got me out of my head.
25:44Made me smile, laugh.
25:46Forget about all the crap that's going on in my life.
25:50So, thank you.
25:57Sally and I are friends.
25:59We've been through a lot,
26:00and I'm sure you can appreciate with everything
26:02you and your family are going through,
26:03having a friend to lean on is a good thing.
26:06Yes, and it's just so hard right now.
26:09Daniel's going through hell.
26:11Lucy is inconsolable.
26:13And I would do anything,
26:15anything in the world
26:17to take their pain away
26:19and do everything in my power
26:22to change what's going on with them.
26:24But I am totally deemed powerless.
26:26I mean, I don't even know who to fight.
26:28I just have to sit back and pray.
26:30Pray for justice.
26:32I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
26:33It's okay.
26:34I can't even imagine what you and Daniel
26:36and Lucy are going through.
26:37I really can't.
26:38I know.
26:39We just, we promised that we would
26:41keep this professional
26:43and not let our personal lives interfere.
26:48No feeling zone, okay?
26:50But let me just say that you and I,
26:52we're friends first.
26:55Just know that.
26:56Okay.
26:58Thank you for letting me vent.
27:01It's all right.
27:03Look, everything you and your family are going through,
27:05you'll get past this, okay?
27:07You will heal.
27:11You know the best way to heal
27:13is to stay productive
27:15and fight a fight you know you can win.
27:18Phyllis.
27:19Okay, that's what I'm saying, okay?
27:20Forget everything I've already said.
27:22Forget it.
27:23Forget about hiring me back
27:26or pretending to hire me
27:27or me being COO.
27:29Just let's focus on this, all right?
27:33Making Abbott Chancellor a success.
27:38Getting Victor Newman
27:40out of Abbott Chancellor
27:42in any capacity.
27:44And also with your mom,
27:47getting her to focus on the successes
27:50and not her stupid grudges.
27:54Unfortunately, I don't think my mother will buy that.
27:56Yeah, no.
27:57I think we can convince her together.
28:03When we are celebrating a new milestone with Connor
28:07or when we're cheering him on at a soccer game
28:09or we're just hanging out,
28:12you can't tell me you haven't thought about it,
28:14about being a real family again.
28:16Maybe I've imagined what it might feel like, but I...
28:20There you go.
28:21But I know in my heart
28:24it will always end in disaster.
28:26No, it wouldn't.
28:27Chelsea, we have been through the bad stuff.
28:30We've learned from the past
28:32and we have never been stronger than we are right now.
28:35But we're still us, Adam.
28:38We're still us.
28:40Come on.
28:42Look at our track record.
28:45All the feelings,
28:47all the good intentions,
28:49all the hopes for the future.
28:52We have been there.
28:56And it always crumbles.
29:00And then what?
29:03Maybe you and I could survive that again, but Connor couldn't.
29:06And I would never do that to him again, ever.
29:09Our son will always come first.
29:12I would never risk his well-being
29:14unless I didn't truly believe that we could be a real family again.
29:22I do have feelings for you, Adam.
29:26You're the father of my son.
29:28How could I not?
29:30But the kind of love we had
29:34almost destroyed us.
29:39Thank God we've grown.
29:42Thank God we've become better people
29:46worthy of finding love again.
29:49Worthy of finding love again.
29:52And maybe, maybe that will be with Billy and Sally.
29:57I don't know.
30:03But what I do know
30:07is it can't be with each other.
30:19Amen.
30:29If it makes you feel any better,
30:32Duvon turned down my pitch to hire you.
30:36Of course he did.
30:38Not that I wanted that job anyway.
30:41But this stops now.
30:43You promised me no more help.
30:46I will get what I want my way on my terms.
30:49Understood?
30:52Don't suppose I could offer some advice?
30:56Don't suppose I can stop you?
30:58Speaking as a former backstabbing asshat,
31:03I had to learn some hard lessons.
31:07And then I had to learn to trust the people who cared for me
31:11and let them in.
31:13And lo and behold,
31:15my life started going really well.
31:19Are you getting to the advice part?
31:24Look,
31:28I just want you to get the same sense of happiness and freedom I found.
31:33And I'd love it if we could share it.
31:37But I also know who you are.
31:39So if you choose to fight,
31:41I'll support you.
31:43A hundred percent.
31:46Pretty smart of Ms. Martinez to bribe him with that bubble bath.
31:49Yeah, mountains of bubbles, all his favorite toys.
31:52Harrison's gonna be in that bath until dinner.
31:55Which means between me and Ms. Martinez,
31:59we can take it from here.
32:01You are officially off the clock.
32:03Okay then.
32:06I will check in with you later.
32:09Hey, Claire.
32:12I hope you know how much you've brightened my day.
32:15I had hope.
32:17There was Harrison and the little pig.
32:21When she wanted that belly scratch,
32:23the smile on your face,
32:25I could see what you must have looked like when you were Harrison's age.
32:30I'm glad we had today.
32:33I just,
32:35I hope I can protect Harrison from what's gone on with his family.
32:39I...
32:41Yeah, I know it's none of my business,
32:44and I don't even know what to say or how to help,
32:47but that confrontation between Jack and Diane,
32:51I mean, I've never seen them so angry.
32:53Yeah, that kind of rage in this house.
32:56I don't want to expose Harrison to it, but I am
32:59at a loss for a solution.
33:01And at this point, we might be past the point of no return.
33:09Just let me have one conversation,
33:12one short conversation with Jill, you know, I'm convincing.
33:20Oh.
33:23Oh, what?
33:24Just, um, just an article from Newman Media about Abbott Chancellor, that's all.
33:31What'd it say?
33:33Nothing.
33:35Julius?
33:36Hmm.
33:37Nothing.
33:38Okay, I'll just look it up myself.
33:40Okay, no, no, no, I'll do it, no, no, no, no.
33:42No, let me do it.
33:47Just says that, um,
33:50you're in over your head, um,
33:53that you bungled a deal with Odyssey 7,
33:58you can't hold on to staff,
34:02that you basically have no true vision.
34:08Damn it.
34:11This is right from Victor.
34:14You know that.
34:17This is the very thing we have to fight.
34:26What the hell is this, Adam?
34:30Are you going after Billy because of me?
34:39Abbott's erratic management style has blown apart the C-suite
34:43before the company has even gotten off the ground?
34:47Well, hello, Sally.
34:50Victor!
34:53Beautiful day, isn't it?
34:55It is, yeah.
34:58Except probably not for you.
35:01You just broke up with Adam.
35:04Hopefully for the last time.
35:07Well, after this hatchet job Adam did on Billy,
35:10I'm glad your son is out of my life.
35:22Hey.
35:23Hey.
35:24How you doing?
35:25Did you see this?
35:26What is it?
35:27It's a hit piece on Billy from Human Media.
35:31Well, it looks like Victor isn't holding back when it comes to Abbott Chancellor.
35:37I thought you'd be happy to see a smear campaign on the partner that threw you out.
35:42I mean, I don't know whether to be thrilled or pissed off.
35:49I'm gonna fight, whether you support me or not.
35:54I wouldn't expect anything less.
35:58I didn't come this far to lose everything
36:01to some lightweight, trust fund baby like Kyle Abbott.
36:08I will take LaSonde back, and the best part?
36:12We'll be taking Kyle down.
36:16You should probably leave before my moods foil an otherwise great day.
36:22That's not possible.
36:23And I have no place to be.
36:25I do not know how we got here.
36:28Or maybe I do.
36:31And I just don't know how to handle it.
36:34My father has always been my rock, an example of everything I wanted to be.
36:41He's always protected me until I...
36:43Until you didn't.
36:47I never saw it coming.
36:49That he and my mother could so easily...
36:51I never saw it coming.
36:53That he and my mother could so easily push me out of Jabot and somehow turn me into the bad guy.
36:59I can't even imagine how much that must have hurt.
37:02And when my mother tells me I've failed them as a son,
37:07and my father tells me I'm a disappointment,
37:09I try to act like I don't give a damn.
37:12Like I've moved on, but it hurts.
37:16Like hell.
37:18Claire, I thought if I could just...
37:21Get away from here.
37:23Away from them, that maybe I could find a way to heal.
37:27But after last night, I...
37:31Accusations, old wounds were ripped open.
37:35That my mother was a gold digger who never loved me.
37:40I couldn't believe they turned on me, but to see them turn on each other...
37:45So hateful.
37:49My family.
37:52The love that we have always had.
37:55If it's not there, if it was always a lie, then what else is there?
